Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition On January 22, 2026, Abbott Laboratories announced its results of operations for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Furnished as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated herein by reference, is the news release issued by Abbott announcing those results. In that news release, Abbott uses various non-GAAP financial measures including, among others, net earnings excluding specified items. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust for factors that are unusual or unpredictable, such as expenses primarily associated with acquisitions, restructuring actions, legal reserves, fair value adjustments to the contingent consideration related to business acquisitions, certain regulatory costs, adjustments related to prior recognition of a significant non-cash deferred tax benefit, tax benefits associated with specified items, net tax benefit as a result of the resolution of various tax positions related to prior years, and excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude intangible amortization expense to provide greater visibility on the results of operations excluding these costs, similar to how Abbott’s management internally assesses performance. Abbott’s management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding Abbott’s results of operations as these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Abbott’s management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to monitor performance of the businesses. Abbott, however, cautions investors to consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
