For the quarter ended July 1, 2022, net earnings were $1.7 billion, or $2.25 per diluted common share which represents a 1.5% year-over-year decrease from the comparable 2021 period.  Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per common share were $2.76 which represents a 12.0% increase over the comparable 2021 period.

Revenues increased 7.5% year-over-year to $7.8 billion. Non-GAAP core revenue growth was 9.5%, including 8.0% non-GAAP base business core revenue growth.

Operating cash flow for the second quarter was $2.0 billion and non-GAAP free cash flow was $1.7 billion.

For the third quarter 2022, the Company anticipates that non-GAAP base business core revenue growth will be in the high-single digit percent range.  For the full year 2022, the Company continues to expect non-GAAP base business core revenue growth will be in the high-single digit percent range.

Rainer M. Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased with our strong start to 2022.  Our teams executed well in a challenging environment to deliver high-single digit core revenue growth, double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth and $2.0 billion of operating cash flow.  We were particularly encouraged with the high-single digit growth in our base business and believe we gained market share across the portfolio."

Blair continued,

"Danaher is comprised of high-quality franchises in attractive end markets with meaningful recurring revenues and durable business models.  We believe the combination of our strong portfolio and talented team—all powered by the Danaher Business System—provides a strong foundation in today's dynamic operating environment and positions us well for the balance of 2022 and beyond."
