NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(dollars in thousands, except as noted)

1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

STERIS is a leading global provider of products and services that support patient care with an emphasis on infection prevention. WE HELP OUR CUSTOMERS CREATE A HEALTHIER AND SAFER WORLD by providing innovative healthcare and life science products and services around the globe. We offer our Customers a unique mix of innovative products and services. These include: consumable products, such as detergents, endoscopy accessories, barrier products, instruments and tools; services, including equipment installation and maintenance, microbial reduction of medical devices, instrument and scope repair, laboratory testing, and outsourced reprocessing; capital equipment, such as sterilizers, surgical tables, and automated endoscope reprocessors; and connectivity solutions such as operating room ("OR") integration.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31. References in this Quarterly Report to a particular "year" or "year-end" mean our fiscal year. The significant accounting policies applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are summarized below:

Interim Financial Statements

We prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. This means that they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments (including normal recurring accruals and adjustments) management believes are necessary to fairly state our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 29, 2024. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2024 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

We use the consolidation method to report our investment in our subsidiaries. Therefore, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. We eliminate intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate these accounts. Investments in equity of unconsolidated affiliates, over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating polices, are accounted for primarily using the equity method. These investments are immaterial to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(dollars in thousands, except as noted)

Discontinued Operations

On April 11, 2024, the Company announced its plan to sell substantially all of the net assets of its Dental segment for total cash consideration of $787,500, subject to customary adjustments, and up to an additional $12,500 in contingent payment should the Dental business achieve certain revenue targets in fiscal 2025. The transaction was structured as an equity sale and closed on May 31, 2024. A component of an entity is reported in discontinued operations after meeting the criteria for held for sale classification if the disposition represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of our Dental segment and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met prior to March 31, 2024. The Dental segment results of operations were reclassified to income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented, and we classified the Dental segment's assets and liabilities as held for sale for the year ended March 31, 2024 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the transaction closing in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the held for sale assets and liabilities were classified as current as of March 31, 2024. Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include the financial results of the Dental segment for all periods presented. For additional information regarding this transaction and its effect on our financial reporting, refer to Note 4 titled, "Discontinued Operations" and Note 11 titled, "Business Segment Information."

Use of Estimates

We make certain estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements according to U.S. GAAP that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. These estimates and assumptions involve judgments with respect to many factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond our control. Actual results could be materially different from these estimates. We revise the estimates and assumptions as new information becomes available. This means that operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future quarters or for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.

Revenue Recognition and Associated Liabilities

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied and control of the promised products or services have transferred to the Customer. Revenues are measured at the amount of consideration that we expect to be paid in exchange for the products or services. Product revenue is recognized when control passes to the Customer, which is generally based on contract or shipping terms. Service revenue is recognized when the Customer benefits from the service, which occurs either upon completion of the service or as it is provided to the Customer. Our Customers include end users as well as dealers and distributors who market and sell our products. Our revenue is not contingent upon resale by the dealer or distributor, and we have no further obligations related to bringing about resale. Our standard return and restocking fee policies are applied to sales of products. Shipping and handling costs charged to Customers are included in Product revenues. The associated expenses are treated as fulfillment costs and are included in Cost of revenues. Revenues are reported net of sales and value-added taxes collected from Customers.

We have individual Customer contracts that offer discounted pricing. Dealers and distributors may be offered sales incentives in the form of rebates. We reduce revenue for discounts and estimated returns, rebates, and other similar allowances in the same period the related revenues are recorded. The reduction in revenue for these items is estimated based on historical experience and trend analysis to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. Estimated returns are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In transactions that contain multiple performance obligations, such as when products, maintenance services, and other services are combined, we recognize revenue as each product is delivered or service is provided to the Customer. We allocate the total arrangement consideration to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is the price for the product or service when it is sold separately.

Payment terms vary by the type and location of the Customer and the products or services offered. Generally, the time between when revenue is recognized and when payment is due is not significant. We do not evaluate whether the selling price contains a financing component for contracts that have a duration of less than one year.

We do not capitalize sales commissions as substantially all of our sales commission programs have an amortization period of one year or less.

STERIS PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(dollars in thousands, except as noted)

Certain costs to fulfill a contract are capitalized and amortized over the term of the contract if they are recoverable, directly related to a contract and generate resources that we will use to fulfill the contract in the future. At June 30, 2024, assets related to costs to fulfill a contract were not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 11 titled, "Business Segment Information" for disaggregation of revenue.

Product Revenues

Product revenues consist of revenues generated from sales of consumables and capital equipment. These contracts are primarily based on a Customer's purchase order and may include a Distributor, Dealer or Group Purchasing Organization ("GPO") agreement. We recognize revenue for sales of products when control passes to the Customer, which generally occurs either when the products are shipped or when they are received by the Customer. Revenue related to capital equipment products is deferred until installation is complete if the capital equipment and installation are highly integrated and form a single performance obligation.

Service Revenues

Within our Healthcare and Life Sciences segments, service revenues include revenue generated from parts and labor associated with the maintenance, repair and installation of capital equipment. These contracts are primarily based on a Customer's purchase order and may include a Distributor, Dealer, or GPO agreement. For maintenance, repair and installation of capital equipment, revenue is recognized upon completion of the service. Healthcare service revenues also include outsourced reprocessing services and instrument repairs. Contracts for outsourced reprocessing services are primarily based on an agreement with a Customer, ranging in length from several months to 15 years. Outsourced reprocessing services revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term using a time-based input measure, adjusted for volume and other performance metrics, to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. Contracts for instrument repairs are primarily based on a Customer's purchase order, and the associated revenue is recognized upon completion of the repair.

We also offer preventive maintenance and separately priced extended warranty agreements to our Customers, which require us to maintain and repair products over the duration of the contract. Generally, these contract terms are cancellable without penalty and range from one to five years. Amounts received under these Customer contracts are initially recorded as a service liability and are recognized as service revenue ratably over the contract term using a time-based input measure.

Within our AST segment, service revenues include contract sterilization and laboratory services. Sales contracts for contract sterilization and laboratory services are primarily based on a Customer's purchase order and associated Customer agreement, and revenues are generally recognized upon completion of the service.

Contract Liabilities

Payments received from Customers are based on invoices or billing schedules as established in contracts with Customers. Deferred revenue is recorded when payment is received in advance of performance under the contract. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue upon completion of the performance obligation, which generally occurs within one year. During the first three months of fiscal 2025, $45,996 of the March 31, 2024 deferred revenue balance was recorded as revenue. During the first three months of fiscal 2024, $42,300 of the March 31, 2023 deferred revenue balance was recorded as revenue.

Refer to Note 8 titled, "Additional Consolidated Balance Sheet Information" for deferred revenue balances.

Service Liabilities

Payments received in advance of performance for cancellable preventive maintenance and separately priced extended warranty contracts are recorded as service liabilities. Service liabilities are recognized as revenue as performance is rendered under the contract.

Refer to Note 8 titled, "Additional Consolidated Balance Sheet Information" for service liability balances.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations reflect only the performance obligations related to agreements for which we have a firm commitment from a Customer to purchase, and exclude variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations. With regard to products, these remaining performance obligations include orders for capital equipment and consumables where control of the products has not passed to the customer. With regardto service, these remaining performance obligations primarily include installation, certification, and outsourced reprocessing services.As of June 30, 2024, the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $1,499,543. We expect to recognize

2. Restructuring

In May 2024, we adopted and announced a targeted restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"). This plan includes a strategic shift in our approach to the Healthcare surgical business in Europe, as well as other actions including the impairment of an internally developed X-ray accelerator, product rationalizations and facility consolidations. Fewer than 300 positions are being eliminated. These restructuring actions are designed to enhance profitability and improve efficiency, and we expect these actions to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2025.

The following tables summarize our total pre-tax restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal 2025 related to the Restructuring Plan:



Three Months Ended June 30, 2024	Restructuring Plan
Severance and other compensation related costs	$	21,480
Lease and other contract termination costs	2,970
Product rationalization (1)	2,382
Accelerated depreciation and amortization	1,250
Total Restructuring Expense	$	28,082

(1) Recorded in Cost of revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Restructuring Plan expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily related to actions taken within our Healthcare segment. Total pre-tax restructuring expense of $72,472 has been recorded relating to the Restructuring Plan since inception, of which $20,702 has been recorded in Cost of revenues. We expect to incur additional costs through the remainder of fiscal 2025 for severance and other compensation related costs and lease and other contract termination and other costs, of approximately $28,000.

Liabilities related to restructuring activities are recorded as current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets within "Accrued payroll and other related liabilities" and "Accrued expenses and other." The following table summarizes our restructuring liability balances:



Restructuring Plan
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	678
Fiscal 2025 Charges	24,450
Payments	(3,753)
Balance at June 30, 2024	$	21,375

3. Business Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

During the first three months of fiscal 2025, we completed several tuck-in acquisitions, which continued to expand our product and service offerings in the Healthcare and AST segments. Total aggregate consideration was approximately $13,659.

On June 20, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the surgical instrumentation, laparoscopic instrumentation and sterilization container assets from Becton, Dickinson and Company (NYSE: BDX) ("BD"). The transaction was completed on August 2, 2023, and the acquired assets from BD were integrated into our Healthcare segment.

The purchase price of the BD acquisition was $539,758. The acquisition also qualified for a tax benefit related to tax deductible goodwill, with a present value of approximately $60,000. The purchase price of the acquisition was financed with borrowings from our existing Revolving Credit Facility. For more information, refer to Note 7 titled, "Debt."

The table below summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired from BD based on fair values at the acquisition date.



September 30, 2023 (As Previously Reported)	Adjustments (2)	Final
Inventory	27,006	4,821	31,827
Property, plant, and equipment	6,755	1,109	7,864

Total liabilities assumed	-	1,737	1,737
Net assets acquired	$	539,758	$	-	$	539,758

(1)Includes estimated fair values of $238,000 for Customer relationships (13 years estimated useful life), $50,000 for Patents and technology (13 years estimated useful life), and $15,000 for Trademarks and tradenames (15 years estimated useful life) as of June 30, 2024.

(2)No additional adjustments made during the first three months of fiscal 2025.

Acquisition and integration expenses totaled $2,254 and $2,237 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Acquisition and integration expenses are reported in the Selling, general and administrative expenses line of our Consolidated Statements of Income and include, but are not limited to, investment banker, advisory, legal and other professional fees, and certain employee-related expenses.

Divestitures

On April 11, 2024, the Company announced its plan to sell its Dental segment for total cash consideration of $787,500, subject to customary adjustments, and up to an additional $12,500 in contingent payment should the Dental business achieve certain revenue targets in fiscal 2025. The transaction was structured as an equity sale and closed on May 31, 2024. The disposal of the Dental segment met the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation. For more information refer to Note 4 titled "Discontinued Operations."

On April 1, 2024, we completed the sale of the Controlled Environment Certification Services business. We recorded net proceeds of $41,546 and recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $18,803 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The business generated approximately $35,000 in revenues in fiscal 2024.

4. Discontinued Operations

On April 11, 2024, the Company announced its plan to sell substantially all of the net assets of its Dental segment for total cash consideration of $787,500, subject to customary adjustments, and up to an additional $12,500 in contingent payment should the Dental business achieve certain revenue targets in fiscal 2025. The transaction was structured as an equity sale and closed on May 31, 2024. A component of an entity is reported in discontinued operations after meeting the criteria for held for sale classification if the disposition represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of our Dental segment and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met prior to March 31, 2024. The Dental segment results of operations were reclassified to income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented, and we classified the Dental segment's assets and liabilities as held for sale as of March 31, 2024 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the transaction closing in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the held for sale assets and liabilities were classified as current as of March 31, 2024. Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include the financial results of the Dental segment for all periods presented. A majority of the proceeds received from the sale were utilized to pay off existing debt.

The following table summarizes the major classes of assets and liabilities of the Dental business segment that were classified as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024:


	March 31, 2024

9. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate is affected by (i) the tax rates in Ireland (our country of domicile), the United States, and other jurisdictions in which we operate, and (ii) the relative amount of income before income taxes by geography.

The effective income tax rates for the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 from continuing operations were 20.1% and 21.7%, respectively. The fiscal 2025 effective tax rate decreased when compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to changes in geographic mix of projected profits and an increase in favorable discrete items.

Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis based upon our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate, we analyze various factors, including projections of our annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, our ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carry forwards, and available tax planning alternatives.

We operate in numerous taxing jurisdictions and are subject to regular examinations by various United States federal, state and local, as well as foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to United States federal examinations for years before fiscal 2018 and, with limited exceptions, we are no longer subject to United States state and local, or non-United States, income tax

(dollars in thousands, except as noted)

examinations by tax authorities for years before fiscal 2018. We remain subject to tax authority audits in various jurisdictions wherever we do business.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, we completed an appeals process with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding proposed audit adjustments related to deductibility of interest paid on intercompany debt for fiscal years 2016 through 2017. An agreement was reached on final interest rates, which also impacted subsequent years through 2020. The total federal, state, and local tax impact of the settlement including interest is approximately $12,000 for the fiscal years 2016 through 2020, materially all of which has been paid through June 30, 2024.

In November 2023, we received two Notices of Deficiency from the IRS regarding the previously disclosed deemed dividend inclusions and associated withholding tax matter. The notices relate to the fiscal and calendar year 2018. The IRS adjustments would result in a cumulative tax liability of approximately $50,000. We are contesting the IRS's assertions and have filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court. We have not established reserves related to these notices. An unfavorable outcome is not expected to have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position but could be material to our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for any one period.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

We are, and will likely continue to be, involved in a number of legal proceedings, government investigations, and claims, which we believe generally arise in the course of our business, given our size, history, complexity, and the nature of our business, products, Customers, regulatory environment, and industries in which we participate. These legal proceedings, investigations and claims generally involve a variety of legal theories and allegations, including, without limitation, personal injury (e.g., slip and falls, burns, vehicle accidents), product liability or regulation (e.g., based on product operation or claimed malfunction, failure to warn, failure to meet specification, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements), product exposure (e.g., claimed exposure to chemicals, gases, asbestos, contaminants, radiation), property damage (e.g., claimed damage due to leaking equipment, fire, vehicles, chemicals), commercial claims (e.g., breach of contract, economic loss, warranty, misrepresentation), financial (e.g., taxes, reporting), employment (e.g., wrongful termination, discrimination, benefits matters), and other claims for damage and relief.

We believe we have adequately reserved for our current litigation and claims that are probable and estimable, and further believe that the ultimate outcome of these pending lawsuits and claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations taken as a whole. Due to their inherent uncertainty, however, there can be no assurance of the ultimate outcome or effect of current or future litigation, investigations, claims or other proceedings (including without limitation the matters discussed below). For certain types of claims, we presently maintain insurance coverage for personal injury and property damage and other liability coverages in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are prudent, but there can be no assurance that these coverages will be applicable or adequate to cover adverse outcomes of claims or legal proceedings against us.

Civil, criminal, regulatory or other proceedings involving our products or services could possibly result in judgments, settlements or administrative or judicial decrees requiring us, among other actions, to pay damages or fines or effect recalls, or be subject to other governmental, Customer or other third party claims or remedies, which could materially affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, and results of operations.

For additional information regarding these matters, see the following portions of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024, Item 1 titled "Business - Information with respect to our Business in General - Government Regulation" and the "Risk Factors" in Item 1A titled "Product and service related regulations and claims."

From time to time, STERIS is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving contract, patent protection, and other claims asserted by us. Gains, if any, from these proceedings are recognized when they are realized.

We are subject to taxation from United States federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. Tax positions are settled primarily through the completion of audits within each individual jurisdiction or the closing of statutes of limitation. Changes in applicable tax law or other events may also require us to revise past estimates. We describe income taxes further in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Income Taxes" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

11. Business Segment Information

We operate and report our financial information in three reportable business segments: Healthcare, AST, and Life Sciences. Previously, we had four reportable business segments, however, as a result of the divestiture of our Dental segment, Dental is presented as discontinued operations. Historical information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect these changes for comparability, as required. For more information, refer to Note 4 titled, "Discontinued Operations." Non-allocated operating costs that support the entire Company and items not indicative of operating trends are excluded from segment operating income.

Our Healthcare segment provides a comprehensive offering for healthcare providers worldwide, focused on sterile processing departments and procedural centers, such as operating rooms and endoscopy suites. Our products and services range from infection prevention consumables and capital equipment, as well as services to maintain that equipment; to the repair of re-usable procedural instruments; to outsourced instrument reprocessing services. In addition, our procedural solutions also include endoscopy accessories, instruments, and capital equipment infrastructure used primarily in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, endoscopy suites, and other procedural areas.

Our AST segment supports medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers through a global network of contract sterilization and laboratory testing facilities, and integrated sterilization equipment and control systems. Our technology-neutral offering supports Customers every step of the way, from testing through sterilization.

Our Life Sciences segment provides a comprehensive offering of products and services designed to support biopharmaceutical and medical device research and manufacturing facilities, in particular those focused on aseptic manufacturing. Our portfolio includes a full suite of capital equipment, consumable products, equipment maintenance and specialty services.

We disclose a measure of segment income that is consistent with the way management operates and views the business. The accounting policies for reportable segments are the same as those for the consolidated Company.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenues from a single Customer did not represent ten percent or more of the Healthcare, AST or Life Sciences segment revenues.

Additional information regarding our segments is included in our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024.

12. Shares and Preferred Shares

Ordinary shares

We calculate basic earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding. We calculate diluted earnings per share based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of share equivalents calculated using the treasury stock method. Income from continuing operations is used as the benchmark to determine whether share equivalents are dilutive or anti-dilutive. Earnings per share is calculated independently for earnings per share from continuing operations and earnings per share from discontinued operations. The sum of earnings per share from continuing operations and earnings per share from discontinued operations may not equal total company earnings per share due to rounding.

The following is a summary of shares and share equivalents outstanding used in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings per share:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
Denominator (shares in thousands):	2024	2023
Weighted average shares outstanding-basic	98,869	98,708

Options to purchase the following number of shares were outstanding but excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the combined exercise prices, unamortized fair values, and assumed tax benefits upon exercise were greater than the average market price for the shares during the periods, so including these options would be anti-dilutive:

The Company has an additional authorized share capital of 50,000,000 preferred shares of $0.001 par value each, plus 25,000 deferred ordinary shares of €1.00 par value each, in order to satisfy minimum statutory capital requirements for all Irish public limited companies.

13. Repurchases of Ordinary Shares

On May 3, 2023 our Board of Directors terminated the previous share repurchase program and authorized a new share repurchase program for the purchase of up to $500,000 (net of taxes, fees and commissions). As of June 30, 2024, there was $443,876 (net of taxes, fees and commissions) of remaining availability under the Board authorized share repurchase program. The share repurchase program has no specified expiration date.

Under the repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its shares from time to time through open market purchases, including 10b5-1 plans. Any share repurchases may be activated, suspended or discontinued at any time.

During the first three months of fiscal 2025, we repurchased 251,507 of our ordinary shares for the aggregate amount of $56,124 (net of fees and commissions) pursuant to authorizations, under the share repurchase program. During the first three months of fiscal 2024, we had no share repurchase activity.

During the first three months of fiscal 2025, we obtained 69,780 of our ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of $10,256 in connection with share-based compensation award programs. During the first three months of fiscal 2024, we obtained 51,494 of our ordinary shares in the aggregate amount of $8,724 in connection with share-based compensation award programs.

14. Share-Based Compensation

We maintain a long-term incentive plan that makes available shares for grants, at the discretion of the Board of Directors or Compensation and Organizational Development Committee of the Board of Directors, to officers, directors, and key employees in the form of stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, stock appreciation rights and share grants. We satisfy share award incentives through the issuance of new ordinary shares.

Stock option awards to employees generally vest and become nonforfeitable in increments of 25% per year over a four-year period, with full vesting four years after the date of grant. Historically, restricted stock awards to employee recipients generally cliff vested on the fourth anniversary of the grant date if the recipient remained in continuous employment through that date. Beginning with fiscal 2024 grants, Company restricted stock (and restricted stock units) generally cliff vest over a three year period after the grant date. However, employees who are grantees of restricted stock and have attained age 55 and been employed for at least five years at the time of the grant or meet these criteria during the term of the grant and are employed in the U.S. or in a few other foreign jurisdictions, or employees who have 25 years of service at the time of grant or meet that criterion during the term of the grant, will be subject to installment vesting rules over the applicable vesting period. Awards to certain employees in the U.S. or a few other jurisdictions may provide for continued vesting after "retirement," if certain conditions are met. As of June 30, 2024, 2,028,765 ordinary shares remained available for grant under the long-term incentive plan.

The fair value of share-based stock option compensation awards was estimated at their grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. This model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics that are not present in our option grants. If the model permitted consideration of the unique characteristics of employee stock options, the resulting estimate of the fair value of the stock options could be different. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The expense is classified as Cost of revenues or Selling, general, and administrative expenses in a manner consistent with the employee's compensation and benefits.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)-(Continued)

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

(dollars in thousands, except as noted)

The following weighted average assumptions were used for options granted during the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024:


	Fiscal 2025	Fiscal 2024
Risk-free interest rate	4.20	%	3.57	%
Expected life of options	6.0 years	5.9 years
Expected dividend yield of stock	0.94	%	1.08	%
Expected volatility of stock	28.47	%	27.98	%

The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The expected life of options is reflective of historical experience, vesting schedules and contractual terms. The expected dividend yield of stock represents our best estimate of the expected future dividend yield. The expected volatility of stock is derived by referring to our historical stock prices over a time frame similar to that of the expected life of the grant. An estimated forfeiture rate of 2.07% and 2.22% was applied in fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. This rate is calculated based upon historical activity and represents an estimate of the granted options not expected to vest. If actual forfeitures differ from this calculated rate, we may be required to make additional adjustments to compensation expense in future periods. The assumptions used above are reviewed at the time of each significant option grant, or at least annually.

A summary of share option activity is as follows:


	Number of Options	Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share	Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at March 31, 2024	1,869,871	$	168.22
Granted	206,432	251.35
Exercised	(81,378)	81.57
Forfeited	(654)	219.97
Expired	(512)	250.06
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	1,993,759	$	180.32	6.3 years	$	92,209
Exercisable at June 30, 2024	1,418,051	$	157.46	5.3 years	$	91,771

We estimate that 559,526 of the non-vested stock options outstanding at June 30, 2024 will ultimately vest.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax difference between the $219.54 closing price of our ordinary shares on June 30, 2024 over the exercise prices of the stock options, multiplied by the number of options outstanding or outstanding and exercisable, as applicable. The aggregate intrinsic value is not recorded for financial accounting purposes and the value changes daily based on the daily changes in the fair market value of our ordinary shares.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was $12,372 and $4,831, respectively. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $5,587 and $1,254 for the first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock option grants was $66.87 and $53.45 for the first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

A summary of the non-vested restricted share and share unit activity is presented below:


	Number of Restricted Shares	Number of Restricted Share Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested at March 31, 2024	463,381	28,348	$	200.04

Non-vested at June 30, 2024	465,902	31,941	$	213.46

Restricted shares and restricted share unit grants are valued based on the closing stock price at the grant date. The value of restricted shares and units that vested during the first three months of fiscal 2025 at the time of grant was $23,694.

As of June 30, 2024, there was a total of $93,968 in unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation granted under our share-based compensation plans. We expect to recognize the cost over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

15. Financial and Other Guarantees

We generally offer a limited parts and labor warranty on capital equipment. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties vary depending on the product sold and the countries where we conduct business. We record a liability for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time product revenues are recognized. The amounts we expect to incur on behalf of our Customers for the future estimated cost of these warranties are recorded as a current liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Factors that affect the amount of our warranty liability include the number and type of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of product failures, and material and service costs per claim. We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

Changes in our warranty liability during the first three months of fiscal 2025 were as follows:


Warranties
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	15,388
Warranties issued during the period	3,456
Settlements made during the period	(4,274)

16. Derivatives and Hedging

From time to time, we enter into forward contracts to hedge potential foreign currency gains and losses that arise from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, including intercompany transactions. We may also enter into commodity swap contracts to hedge price changes in nickel that impact raw materials included in our Cost of revenues. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we also held forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of our expected non-U.S. dollar-denominated earnings against our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. These foreign currency exchange contracts will mature in fiscal 2025. We did not elect hedge accounting for these forward foreign currency contracts; however, we may seek to apply hedge accounting in future scenarios. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and do not receive hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in their fair value are not deferred but are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Income. At June 30, 2024, we held net foreign currency forward contracts to buy 50.0 million British pounds sterling; and to sell 100.0 million Mexican pesos, 25.0 million Canadian dollars, 18.2 million euros, and 15.0 million Australian dollars. At June 30, 2024, we held commodity swap contracts to buy 591.8 thousand pounds of nickel.

17. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using available market information and generally accepted valuation methodologies. The inputs used to measure fair value are classified into three tiers. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table shows the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024:


		Fair Value Measurements
	Carrying Value	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets	Significant Other Observable Inputs	Significant Unobservable Inputs
Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
June 30,	March 31,	June 30,	March 31,	June 30,	March 31,	June 30,	March 31,
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	198,328	$	207,020	$	198,328	$	207,020	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Other investments	2,880	2,902	2,880	2,902	-	-	-	-

Liabilities:
Forward and swap contracts (1)	$	427	$	1,014	$	-	$	-	$	427	$	1,014	$	-	$	-
Deferred compensation plans (2)	1,175	1,186	1,175	1,186	-	-	-	-
Debt (3)	2,315,601	3,206,100	-	-	2,001,665	2,895,784	-	-
Contingent consideration obligations (4)	11,204	11,000	-	-	-	-	11,204	11,000

(1)The fair values of forward and swap contracts are based on period-end forward rates and reflect the value of the amount that we would pay or receive for the contracts involving the same notional amounts and maturity dates.

(2) We maintain a frozen domestic non-qualified deferred compensation plan covering certain employees, which allowed for the deferral of payment of previously earned compensation for an employee-specified term or until retirement or termination. Amounts deferred can be allocated to various hypothetical investment options (compensation deferrals have been frozen under the plan). We hold investments to satisfy the future obligations of the plan. Employees who made deferrals are entitled to receive distributions of their hypothetical account balances (amounts deferred, together with earnings (losses)). Changes in the fair value of these investments are recorded in the "Interest and miscellaneous income" line of the Consolidated Statement of Income. During the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, we recorded gains of $53 and $73, respectively, related to these investments.

(3) We estimate the fair value of our debt using discounted cash flow analyses, based on estimated current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair values of our Senior Public Notes are estimated using quoted market prices for the Senior Public Notes.

(4)Contingent consideration obligations arise from prior business acquisitions. The fair values are based on discounted cash flow analyses reflecting the possible achievement of specified performance measures or events and captures the contractual nature of the contingencies, commercial risk, and the time value of money. Contingent consideration obligations are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as accrued expense (short-term) and other liabilities (long-term), as appropriate based on the contractual payment dates.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of STERIS plc:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of STERIS plc and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated interim financial statements"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedule (not presented herein); and in our report dated May 29, 2024, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

In Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the "MD&A"), we explain the general financial condition and the results of operations for STERIS including:

•what factors affect our business;

•what our earnings and costs were in each period presented;

•why those earnings and costs were different from prior periods;

•where our earnings came from;

•how this affects our overall financial condition;

•what our expenditures for capital projects were; and

•where cash will come from to fund future debt principal repayments, growth outside of core operations, repurchases of shares, cash dividends and future working capital needs.

As you read the MD&A, it may be helpful to refer to information in our consolidated financial statements contained herein, which present the results of our operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. It may also be helpful to refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 29, 2024, including information in Item 1, "Business," Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors," and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Commitments and Contingencies," and Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of this Quarterly Report, for a discussion of some of the matters that can adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In the MD&A, we analyze and explain the period-over-period changes in the specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Income. This information, discussion, and analysis may be important to you in making decisions about your investments in STERIS.

Financial Measures

In the following sections of the MD&A, we may, at times, refer to financial measures that are not required to be presented in the consolidated financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). We sometimes use the following financial measures in the context of this report: backlog; debt-to-total capital; and days sales outstanding. We define these financial measures as follows:

•Backlog- We define backlog as the amount of unfilled capital equipment purchase orders at a point in time. We use this figure as a measure to assist in the projection of short-term financial results and inventory requirements.

•Debt-to-total capital- We define debt-to-total capital as total debt divided by the sum of total debt and shareholders' equity. We use this figure as a financial liquidity measure to gauge our ability to borrow and fund growth.

•Days sales outstanding ("DSO")- We define DSO as the average collection period for accounts receivable. It is calculated as net accounts receivable divided by the trailing four quarters' revenues, multiplied by 365 days. We use this figure to help gauge the quality of accounts receivable and expected time to collect.

We, at times, may also refer to financial measures which are considered to be "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules. We have presented these financial measures because we believe that meaningful analysis of our financial performance is enhanced by an understanding of certain additional factors underlying that performance. These financial measures should not be considered an alternative to measures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our calculations of these measures may differ from calculations of similar measures used by other companies, and you should be careful when comparing these financial measures to those of other companies. Additional information regarding these financial measures, including reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure, is available in the subsection of MD&A titled, "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Revenues - Defined

As required by Regulation S-X, we separately present revenues generated as either product revenues or service revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Income for each period presented. When we discuss revenues, we may, at times, refer to revenues summarized differently than the Regulation S-X requirements. The terminology, definitions, and applications of terms that we use to describe revenues may be different from terms used by other companies. We use the following terms to describe revenues:

•Revenues- Our revenues are presented net of sales returns and allowances.

•Product Revenues- We define product revenues as revenues generated from sales of consumable and capital equipment products.

Table of Contents

•Service Revenues- We define service revenues as revenues generated from parts and labor associated with the maintenance, repair, and installation of our capital equipment. Service revenues also include outsourced reprocessing services and instrument and scope repairs, as well as revenues generated from contract sterilization and laboratory services offered through our Applied Sterilization Technologies ("AST") segment.

•Capital Equipment Revenues- We define capital equipment revenues as revenues generated from sales of capital equipment, which includes steam and gas sterilizers, low temperature liquid chemical sterilant processing systems, pure steam/water systems, surgical lights and tables, and integrated operating rooms ("OR").

•Consumable Revenues - We define consumable revenues as revenues generated from sales of the consumable family of products, which includes dedicated consumables used in our V-PRO sterilizers and automated endoscope reprocessors, SYSTEM 1 and 1E consumables, gastrointestinal endoscopy accessories, instruments and tools, sterility assurance products, barrier protection solutions, and cleaning consumables.

•Recurring Revenues - We define recurring revenues as revenues generated from sales of consumable products and service revenues.

General Company Overview and Executive Summary

We operate and report our financial information in three reportable business segments: Healthcare, Applied Sterilization Technologies ("AST"), and Life Sciences. Previously, we had four reportable business segments; however, as a result of the divestiture of our Dental segment, Dental is presented as discontinued operations. Historical information has been retrospectively adjusted to exclude discontinued operations for comparability, as required. For more information, refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Discontinued Operations." Non-allocated operating costs that support the entire Company and items not indicative of operating trends are excluded from segment operating income. We describe our business segments in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Business Segment Information."

Thebulk of our revenues are derived from healthcare, medical device and pharmaceutical Customers. Much of the growth in these industries is driven by the aging of the population throughout the world, as an increasing number of individuals are entering their prime healthcare consumption years, and is dependent upon advancement in healthcare delivery, acceptance of new technologies, government policies, and general economic conditions.

Inaddition, there is increased demand for medical procedures, including preventive screenings such as endoscopies and colonoscopies; and a desire by our Customers to operate more efficiently, all of which are driving increased demand for many of our products and services.

Acquisitions and Divestitures. During the first three months of fiscal 2025, we completed several tuck-in acquisitions, which continued to expand our product and service offerings in the Healthcare and AST segments. Total aggregate consideration was approximately $13.7 million.

The purchase price of the BD acquisition was $539.8 million. The acquisition also qualified for a tax benefit related to tax deductible goodwill, with a present value of approximately $60.0 million. The purchase price of the acquisition was financed with borrowings from our existing Revolving Credit Facility. For more information, refer to Note 7 titled, "Debt."

Acquisition and integration expenses totaled $2.3 millionand $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Acquisition and integration expenses are reported in the Selling, general and administrative expenses line of our Consolidated Statements of Income and include, but are not limited to, investment banker, advisory, legal and other professional fees, and certain employee-related expenses.

On April 1, 2024, we completed the sale of the Controlled Environment Certification Services business. We recorded net proceeds of $41.5 millionand recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $18.8 millionin the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The business generated approximately $35.0 millionin revenues in fiscal 2024.

For more information regarding our recent acquisitions, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Business Acquisitions and Divestitures."

Table of Contents

Discontinued Operations. On April 11, 2024, the Company announced its plan to sell substantially all of the net assets of its Dental segment for total cash consideration of $787.5 million, subject to customary adjustments, and up to an additional $12.5 millionin contingent payment should the Dental business achieve certain revenue targets in fiscal 2025. The transaction was structured as an equity sale and closed on May 31, 2024. A component of an entity is reported in discontinued operations after meeting the criteria for held for sale classification if the disposition represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. We analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of our Dental segment and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met prior to March 31, 2024. The Dental segment results of operations were reclassified to income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented, and we classified the Dental segment's assets and liabilities as held for sale as of March 31, 2024 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Due to the transaction closing in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the held for sale assets and liabilities were classified as current as of March 31, 2024. Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include the financial results of the Dental segment for all periods presented. A majority of the proceeds received from the sale were utilized to pay off existing debt.

For more information, see Note 4to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Discontinued Operations."

Highlights. Revenues increased 8.1% to $1,279.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1,183.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increases reflect higher volume, including the added volume from the acquisition of assets from BD in the Healthcare segment, and pricing.

Gross profit percentage was 44.7% for both of the first three months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. Favorable impacts from pricing and material costs were offset by unfavorable impacts from labor costs and adjustments and other charges.

Income from operations for the first three months of fiscal 2025 was $185.5 million, compared to income from operations of $197.8 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024. The decrease in income from operations for the three month periods is primarily due to restructuring expenses associated with the restructuring plan adopted in May 2024, as well as other compensation related expenses, which was partially offset by the benefits of higher volume and pricing as well as added volume from the acquisition of assets from BD.

Cash flows from operations were $303.7 million and free cash flow was $195.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025 compared to cash flows from operations of $281.1 million and free cash flow of $214.5 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024 (see the subsection below titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information and related reconciliation of cash flows from operations to free cash flow). The fiscal 2025 increase in cash flows from operations resulted from the increase in cash provided by working capital, primarily driven by higher collection on accounts receivable and improved inventory level management when compared to the same prior year period. The fiscal 2025 decrease in free cash flow is primarily due to the timing of capital spending.

Our debt-to-total capital ratio was 26.7% at June 30, 2024 and 33.7% at March 31, 2024. During the first three months of fiscal 2025, we declared and paid cash dividends totaling $0.52 per ordinary share.

Additional information regarding our financial performance during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 is included in the subsection below titled "Results of Operations."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We, at times, refer to financial measures which are considered to be "non-GAAP financial measures" under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. We, at times, also refer to our results of operations excluding certain transactions or amounts that are non-recurring or are not indicative of future results, in order to provide meaningful comparisons between the periods presented.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from or as an alternative to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

These non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision-making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented.

We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides the reader with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. It is important for the reader to note that the non-GAAP financial measures used may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Table of Contents

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows less purchases of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles (capital expenditures) plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles, which are also presented within investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We use this as a measure to gauge our ability to pay cash dividends, fund growth outside of core operations, fund future debt principal repayments, and repurchase shares.

The following table summarizes the calculation of our free cash flow for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended June 30,

Other foreign revenues	310,418	307,562	2,856	0.9	%

Revenues increased 8.1% to $1,279.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1,183.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increases reflect higher volume, including the added volume from the acquisition of assets from BD in the Healthcare segment, and pricing.

Service revenues increased 9.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting growth in the Healthcare and AST segments, which was partially offset by a decline in the Life Sciences segment caused by the divestiture of the Controlled Environment Certification Services ("CECS") business. Consumable revenues increased by 20.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting growth in the Healthcare and Life Sciences segments. Capital equipment revenues decreased 10.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior year, reflecting declines in the Healthcare and Life Sciences segments.

Ireland revenues increased 10.8% to $22.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $20.0 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting growth in consumable and service revenues, partially offset by a decline in capital equipment revenues.

United States revenues increased 10.6% to $946.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $855.8 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting growth in consumable and service revenues, partially offset by a decline in capital equipment revenues.

Revenues from other foreign locations increased 0.9% to $310.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $307.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase reflects growth within the EMEA region, which was partially offset by declines primarily in the Asia Pacific region.

Gross Profit.Our gross profit is affected by the volume, pricing, and mix of sales of our products and services, as well as the costs associated with the products and services that are sold. The following tables compare our gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the three months ended June 30, 2023:


	Three Months Ended June 30,	Change	Percent Change
(dollars in thousands)	2024	2023
Gross profit:

Total operating expenses	$	386,899	$	331,243	$	55,656	16.8	%

nm - not meaningful

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.Significant components of total selling, general, and administrative expenses ("SG&A") are compensation and benefit costs, fees for professional services, travel and entertainment expenses, facility costs, gains or losses from divestitures, and other general and administrative expenses. SG&A increased 9.5% in the first three months of fiscal 2025 over the same prior year period. The fiscal 2025 increase is primarily attributable to increased compensation, including incentive compensation and benefit costs, as well as increases in professional fees.

Research and Development.Research and development expenses increased 3.6% in the first three months of fiscal 2025 over the same prior year period. Research and development expenses are influenced by the number and timing of in-process projects and labor hours and other costs associated with these projects. Our research and development initiatives continue to emphasize new product development, product improvements, and the development of new technological platform innovations. During fiscal 2025, our investments in research and development have continued to be focused on, but were not limited to, enhancing capabilities of sterile processing combination technologies, procedural products and accessories, and devices and support accessories used in gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures.

Restructuring Expenses. In May 2024, we adopted and announced a targeted restructuring plan (the "Restructuring Plan"). This plan includes a strategic shift in our approach to the Healthcare surgical business in Europe, as well as other actions including the impairment of an internally developed X-ray accelerator, product rationalizations and facility consolidations. Fewer than 300 positions are being eliminated. These restructuring actions are designed to enhance profitability and improve efficiency, and we expect to be substantially complete with the actions by the end of fiscal 2025. We anticipate improvements in income from operations of approximately $25.0 million per year, with the majority of the benefit being in fiscal 2026 and beyond due to timing of actions.

Table of Contents

The following tables summarize our total pre-tax restructuring expenses recorded in fiscal 2025 related to the Restructuring Plan:



Three Months Ended June 30, 2024	Restructuring Plan
Severance and other compensation related costs	$	21,480
Lease and other contract termination costs	2,970
Product rationalization (1)	2,382

Non-Operating Expenses, Net.The following tables compare our net non-operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2024	2023	Change
Non-operating expenses, net:

Non-operating expenses, net consists of interest expense on debt, offset by interest earned on cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment balances, and other miscellaneous (income) expense.

Interest expense decreased $2.0 million during the first three months of fiscal 2025 as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the lower principal amount of debt outstanding. For more information, refer to Note 7to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Debt."

Interest and miscellaneous income decreased $0.1 million during the first three months of fiscal 2025 as compared to the prior year period.

Gain on sale of business during the first three months of fiscal 2025 was $18.8 million and relates to the sale of our CECS business. For more information, refer to Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Business Acquisitions and Divestitures."

Income Taxes.The following tables compare our tax expense and effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023:


	Three Months Ended June 30,	Change	Percent Change
(dollars in thousands)	2024	2023

Income tax expense	$	35,310	$	36,200	$	(890)	(2.5)%
Effective income tax rate	20.1	%	21.7	%

We record income tax expense during interim periods based on our estimate of the annual effective income tax rate, adjusted each quarter for discrete items. We analyze various factors to determine the estimated annual effective income tax rate, including projections of our annual earnings and taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income taxes, our ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available tax planning alternatives.

The effective income tax rates from continuing operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were 20.1% and 21.7%, respectively. The fiscal 2025 effective tax rate decreased when compared to fiscal 2024, primarily due to changes in geographic mix of projected profits and an increase in favorable discrete items.

Business Segment Results of Operations.

Our Life Sciences segment provides a comprehensive offering of products and services designed to support biopharmaceutical and medical device research and manufacturing facilities, in particular those focused on aseptic manufacturing. Our portfolio includes a full suite of consumable products, equipment maintenance, specialty services, and capital equipment.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenues from a single Customer did not represent ten percent or more of the Healthcare, AST or Life Sciences segment revenues.

The following tables compare business segment revenues as well as impacts from acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency movements for the three and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note:Organic revenue growth and constant currency organic revenue growth are non-GAAP financial measures of revenue performance. Organic revenue growth is calculated by removing the impact of acquisitions and divestitures for one year following the respective transaction from the GAAP revenue growth. Constant currency organic revenue growth is subject to a further adjustment to eliminate the impact of foreign currency movements.

Healthcare revenues increased 10.1% to $901.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $818.9 million for the same prior year period. This increase reflects growth in consumable and service revenues of 22.5% and 14.2%, respectively, which was partially offset by a decline in capital equipment revenues of 9.9%. The constant currency organic growth of 5.2% is primarily due to increased volume, impacting revenues by a low single digit percentage, as well as increased pricing.

The Healthcare segment's backlog at June 30, 2024 was $362.0 million. The Healthcare segment's backlog at June 30, 2023 was $491.7 million. The decrease is due to shortened lead times in fiscal 2024 due to improving supply chains, which drove strong shipments throughout fiscal 2024.

AST revenues increased 7.2% to $249.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $233.1 million for the same prior year period. The constant currency organic growth of 7.7% is primarily due to increased pricing, impacting revenues by a mid-single digit percentage, as well as increased volume.

Life Sciences revenues decreased 2.2% to $128.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $131.4 million for the same prior year period. This decrease is partially due to the sale of the CECS business during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which impacted service revenue, resulting in a decline of 16.9%. This decrease also reflects declines in capital equipment revenues of 14.6% and was partially offset by an increase in consumable revenues of 13.2%. The constant currency organic growth of 4.3% is primarily due to increased pricing, impacting revenues by a low single digit percentage.

The Life Sciences backlog at June 30, 2024 was $72.2 million. The Life Sciences backlog at June 30, 2023 was $104.9 million. The decrease is primarily due to softening demand, as anticipated.

The Healthcare segment's operating income increased 9.4% to $216.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $198.2 million in the same prior year period. The segment's operating margins were 24.1% and 24.2% for the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the benefits of higher volume, including added volume from the acquisition of assets from BD, and pricing, which were partially offset by increased compensation costs. The decrease in operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to increased compensation costs, primarily due to increased headcount.

The AST segment's operating income increased 7.4% to $117.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $109.6 million during the same prior year period. The segment's operating margins were 47.1% and 47.0% for the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in operating income and operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to favorable pricing, which was partially offset by increased labor costs.

The Life Sciences segment's operating income increased 5.5% to $52.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $49.8 million for the same prior year period. The segment's operating margins were 40.9% and 37.9% for the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in operating income and operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to favorable pricing and mix following the divestiture of CECS.

•Payments on term loans- During the first three months of fiscal 2025 and 2024, we repaid $638.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of our term loans. The fiscal 2025 increase was primarily due to the use of proceeds from the sale of the Dental segment to pay off our outstanding term loans. For more information on our term loans, refer to Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements titled, "Debt" and to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024.

Cash Flow Measures.The net cash provided by our operating activities was $303.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2025 and $281.1 million for the first three months of fiscal 2024. Free cash flow was $195.7 million in the first three months of fiscal 2025 compared to $214.5 million in the first three months of fiscal 2024 (see the subsection above titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for additional information and related reconciliation of cash flows from operations to free cash flow). The fiscal 2025 decrease in free cash flow is primarily due to the timing of capital spending.

Our debt-to-total capital ratio was 26.7% at June 30, 2024 and 32.2% at June 30, 2023.

Material Future Cash Obligations and Commercial Commitments. Information related to our material future cash obligations and commercial commitments is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024. Our commercial commitments were approximately $112.2 million at June 30, 2024, reflecting a net increase of $1.8 million in surety bonds and other commercial commitments from March 31, 2024. Outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024 were $231.3 million. We had $12.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2024.

Cash Requirements. We intend to use our existing cash and cash equivalent balances and cash generated from operations for short-term and long-term capital expenditures and our other liquidity needs. Our capital requirements depend on many uncertain factors, including our rate of sales growth, our Customers' acceptance of our products and services, the costs of obtaining adequate manufacturing capacities, the timing and extent of our research and development projects, changes in our expenses and other factors. To the extent that existing and anticipated sources of cash are not sufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to raise additional funds through additional borrowings or the sale of equity securities. There can be no assurance that our existing financing arrangements will provide us with sufficient funds or that we will be able to obtain any additional funds on terms favorable to us or at all.

STERIS plc ("Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,STERIS Limited and STERIS Corporation (collectively "Guarantors" and each a "Guarantor"), each have provided guarantees of the obligations of STERIS Irish FinCo Unlimited Company ("FinCo", "STERIS Irish FinCo", "Issuer") a wholly-owned subsidiary issuer, under Senior Public Notes issued by FinCo on April 1, 2021 and of certain other obligations relating to the Senior Public Notes. The Senior Public Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis. The Senior Public Notes and the related guaranteesare senior unsecured obligations of FinCo and the Guarantors, respectively, and are equal in priority with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Issuer and the Guarantors, respectively, from time to time outstanding, including, as applicable, under thePrivate Placement Senior Notes and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

All of the liabilities of non-guarantor direct and indirect subsidiaries of STERIS, other than STERIS Irish FinCo, STERIS Limited and STERIS Corporation, including any claims of trade creditors, are effectively senior to the Senior Public Notes.

STERIS Irish FinCo's main objective and source of revenues and cash flows is the provision of short- and long-term financing for the activities of STERIS plc and its subsidiaries.

The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends, interest and other fees to the Issuer and ability of the Issuer and Guarantors to service the Senior Public Notes may be restricted by, among other things, applicable corporate and other laws and regulations as well as agreements to which our subsidiaries are or may become a party.

The following is a summary of these guarantees:

Guarantees of Senior Notes

•Parent Company Guarantor - STERIS plc

•Subsidiary Issuer - STERIS Irish FinCo Unlimited Company

•Subsidiary Guarantor - STERIS Limited

•Subsidiary Guarantor - STERIS Corporation

The guarantee of a Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged:

•in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the sale, transfer or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor, other than to the Parent or a subsidiary of the Parent and as permitted by the indenture;

•in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor, other than to the Parent or a subsidiary of the Parent and as permitted by the indenture;

•in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor, at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a borrower under or no longer guarantees any material credit facility (subject to restatement in specified circumstances);

•upon the legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the Senior Public Notes or the discharge of the Issuer's obligations under the indenture in accordance with the terms of the indenture;

•as described in accordance with the terms of the indenture; or

•in the case of the Parent, if the Issuer ceases for any reason to be a subsidiary of the Parent; provided that all guarantees and other obligations of the Parent in respect of all other indebtedness under any material credit facility of the Issuer terminate upon the Issuer ceasing to be a subsidiary of the Parent; and

•upon such Guarantor delivering to the trustee an officer's certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the indenture relating to such transaction or release have been complied with.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its guarantee are expressly limited to the maximum amount that such Guarantor could guarantee without such guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the indenture to a contribution from each Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor's pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

Information related to our critical accounting estimates and assumptions is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024. Our critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions have not changed materially from March 31, 2024.

Contingencies

Table of Contents

investigations and claims generally involve a variety of legal theories and allegations, including, without limitation, personal injury (e.g., slip and falls, burns, vehicle accidents), product liability or regulation (e.g., based on product operation or claimed malfunction, failure to warn, failure to meet specification, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements), product exposure (e.g., claimed exposure to chemicals, gases, asbestos, contaminants, radiation), property damage (e.g., claimed damage due to leaking equipment, fire, vehicles, chemicals), commercial claims (e.g., breach of contract, economic loss, warranty, misrepresentation), financial (e.g., taxes, reporting), employment (e.g., wrongful termination, discrimination, benefits matters), and other claims for damage and relief.

We record a liability for such contingencies to the extent we conclude that their occurrence is both probable and estimable. We consider many factors in making these assessments, including the professional judgment of experienced members of management and our legal counsel. We have made estimates as to the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and the amounts of such potential losses. In our opinion, the ultimate outcome of these proceedings and claims is not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the ultimate outcome of proceedings, government investigations, and claims is unpredictable and actual results could be materially different from our estimates. We record expected recoveries under applicable insurance contracts when we are assured of recovery. Refer to Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements titled, "Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information.

We are subject to taxation from United States federal, state and local, and non-U.S. jurisdictions. Tax positions are settled primarily through the completion of audits within each individual tax jurisdiction or the closing of a statute of limitation. Changes in applicable tax law or other events may also require us to revise past estimates. The IRS routinely conducts audits of our federal income tax returns.

Refer to Note 9 of our consolidated financial statements titled, "Income Taxes" for more information.

Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report may contain statements concerning certain trends, expectations, forecasts, estimates, or other forward-looking information affecting or relating to STERIS or its industry, products or activities that are intended to qualify for the protections afforded "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other laws and regulations. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date the statement is made and may be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as "may," "will," "expects," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "projects," "targets," "forecasts," "outlook," "impact," "potential," "confidence," "improve," "optimistic," "deliver," "orders," "backlog," "comfortable," "trend," and "seeks," or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Many important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements related to the expected benefits of and timing of completion of the Restructuring Plan, disruption of production or supplies, changes in market conditions, political events, pending or future claims or litigation, competitive factors, technology advances, actions of regulatory agencies, and changes in laws, government regulations, labeling or product approvals or the application or interpretation thereof. Many of these important factors are outside of STERIS's control. No assurances can be provided as to any result or the timing of any outcome regarding matters described in STERIS's securities filings or otherwise with respect to any regulatory action, administrative proceedings, government investigations, litigation, warning letters, cost reductions, business strategies, earnings or revenue trends or future financial results. References to products are summaries only and should not be considered the specific terms of the product clearance or literature. Unless legally required, STERIS does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements even if events make clear that any projected results, express or implied, will not be realized. Other potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, (a) the impact of public health crises on STERIS's operations, supply chain, material and labor costs, performance, results, prospects, or value, (b) STERIS's ability to achieve the expected benefits regarding the accounting and tax treatments of the redomiciliation to Ireland, (c) operating costs, Customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, Customers, clients or suppliers) being greater than expected, (d) STERIS's ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses into its existing businesses, including unknown or inestimable liabilities, impairments, or increases in expected integration costs or difficulties in connection with the integration of such businesses, (e) uncertainties related to tax treatments under the TCJA and the IRA, (f) the possibility that Pillar Two Model Rules could increase tax uncertainty and adversely impact STERIS's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate and subject STERIS to additional income tax in jurisdictions who adopt Pillar Two Model Rules, (g) STERIS's ability to continue to qualify for benefits under certain income tax treaties in light of ratification of more strict income tax treaty rules (through the MLI) in many jurisdictions where STERIS has operations, (h) changes in tax laws or interpretations that could increase our consolidated tax liabilities, including changes in tax laws that would result in STERIS being treated as a domestic corporation for United States federal tax purposes, (i) the potential for increased pressure on pricing or costs that leads to erosion of profit margins, including as a result of inflation, (j) the possibility that market demand will not develop for new technologies, products or applications or services, or business initiatives will take longer, cost more or produce lower benefits than anticipated, (k) the possibility that application of or compliance with laws, court rulings, certifications, regulations, or regulatory actions, including without limitation any of the same relating to FDA, EPA or other regulatory authorities, government investigations, the outcome of any pending or

Table of Contents

threatened FDA, EPA or other regulatory warning notices, actions, requests, inspections or submissions, the outcome of any pending or threatened litigation brought by private parties, or other requirements or standards may delay, limit or prevent new product or service introductions, affect the production, supply and/or marketing of existing products or services, result in costs to STERIS that may not be covered by insurance, or otherwise affect STERIS's performance, results, prospects or value, (l) the potential of international unrest, including the Russia-Ukraine or Israel-Hamas military conflicts, economic downturn or effects of currencies, tax assessments, tariffs and/or other trade barriers, adjustments or anticipated rates, raw material costs or availability, benefit or retirement plan costs, or other regulatory compliance costs, (m) the possibility of reduced demand, or reductions in the rate of growth in demand, for STERIS's products and services, (n) the possibility of delays in receipt of orders, order cancellations, or delays in the manufacture or shipment of ordered products, due to supply chain issues or otherwise, or in the provision of services, (o) the possibility that anticipated growth, cost savings, new product acceptance, performance or approvals, or other results may not be achieved, or that transition, labor, competition, timing, execution, impairments, regulatory, governmental, or other issues or risks associated with STERIS's businesses, industry or initiatives including, without limitation, those matters described in STERIS's various securities filings, may adversely impact STERIS's performance, results, prospects or value, (p) the impact on STERIS and its operations, or tax liabilities, of Brexit or the exit of other member countries from the EU, and the Company's ability to respond to such impacts, (q) the impact on STERIS and its operations of any legislation, regulations or orders, including but not limited to any new trade or tax legislation (including CAMT and excise tax on stock buybacks), regulations or orders, that may be implemented by the U.S. administration or Congress, or of any responses thereto, (r) the possibility that anticipated financial results or benefits of recent acquisitions, of STERIS's restructuring efforts, or of recent divestitures, including anticipated revenue, productivity improvement, cost savings, growth synergies and other anticipated benefits, will not be realized or will be other than anticipated, (s) the level of STERIS's indebtedness limiting financial flexibility or increasing future borrowing costs, (t) rating agency actions or other occurrences that could affect STERIS's existing debt or future ability to borrow funds at rates favorable to STERIS or at all, (u) the effects of changes in credit availability and pricing, as well as the ability of STERIS's Customers and suppliers to adequately access the credit markets, on favorable terms or at all, when needed, and (v) the possibility that our expectations about the pre-tax savings resulting from the Restructuring Plan, the number of positions eliminated pursuant to the Restructuring Plan and the costs, charges and cash expenditures associated with the announced restructuring plan may not be realized on the timeline or timelines we expect, or at all.

Availability of Securities and Exchange Commission Filings

We make available free of charge on or through our website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such material with, or furnish such material to, the SEC. You may access these documents on the Investor Relations page of our website at http://www.steris-ir.com. The information on our website and the SEC's website is not incorporated by reference into this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to interest rate, currency, and commodity risks. Information related to these risks and our management of these exposures is included in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on May 29, 2024. Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially since March 31, 2024.

Fluctuations in currency rates could affect our revenues, Cost of revenues and income from operations and could result in currency exchange gains and losses. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we held forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of our expected non-U.S. dollar-denominated earnings against our reporting currency, the US dollar. These foreign currency exchange contracts will mature during fiscal 2025. We did not elect hedge accounting for these forward currency contracts; however, we may seek to apply hedge accounting in future scenarios. As a result, we may experience volatility due to (i) the timing mismatch of unrealized hedge gains or losses versus recognition of the underlying hedged earnings, and (ii) the impact of unrealized and realized hedge gains or losses being reported in selling, general and administrative expenses, whereas the offsetting economic gains and losses of the underlying hedged earnings are reported in the various line items of our Consolidated Statements of Income.

We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, including inter-company transactions. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. At June 30, 2024, we held net foreign currency forward contracts to buy 50.0 million British pounds sterling; and to sell 100.0 million Mexican pesos, 25.0 million Canadian dollars, 18.2 million euros, and 15.0 million Australian dollars,

We are dependent on basic raw materials, sub-assemblies, components, and other supplies used in our operations. Our financial results could be affected by the availability and changes in prices of these materials. The costs of these materials can rise suddenly and result in significantly higher costs of production. Where appropriate, we enter into long-term supply contracts as a basis to guarantee a reliable supply. We may also enter into commodity swap contracts to hedge price changes in a certain commodity that impacts raw materials included in our Cost of revenues. At June 30, 2024, we held commodity swap contracts to buy 591.8 thousandpounds of nickel.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on that evaluation, including the assessment and input of our management, the PEO and PFO concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
