10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2024
Filed Feb 7, 2025 · Read the filing on EDGAR
- Sales rose 2% to $3.9 billion (3% in local currencies). Excluding the 2023 shipping delays that were recovered in early 2024, local-currency sales were flat.
- China stayed weak: local-currency sales fell 11% and Chinese segment profit fell 6%. Europe, other emerging markets and service revenue grew solidly.
- Gross margin improved to 60.1% from 59.2%, helped by pricing and cost savings. Operating cash flow held steady at $968 million.
- Buybacks were $850 million in 2024, with about $875 million planned for 2025. New risk language covers possible 60% US tariffs on Chinese goods.
Business momentum
Improving
“Net sales in U.S. dollars increased 2% in 2024 and decreased 3% in 2023.”
Outlook
Cautious
“However, many of our end-markets, including pharma/biopharmaceutical, food, and chemical, remain challenged after significant growth during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Financial stress
Low
“Cash provided by operating activities totaled $968.3 million in 2024, compared to $965.9 million in 2023 and $859.1 million in 2022.”
Tone against the previous report

Positives
Better gross margin
“Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 60.1% for 2024, 59.2% for 2023, and 58.9% for 2022.”
Strong growth in service revenue
“Service revenue (including spare parts) increased 7% in both U.S. dollars and local currencies in 2024”
Lab business returned to growth
“Net sales of our laboratory products and services, which represented approximately 56% of our total net sales in 2024, increased 6% in both U.S. dollars and local currencies during 2024.”
Concerns
China sales kept falling
“Overall, versus the prior year, we experienced a 1% decrease in emerging market local currency sales by destination during 2024, which included an 11% local currency sales decline in China”
Underlying growth was flat
“We estimate local currency net sales were flat in 2024 and decreased 1% in 2023 excluding the impact of the delayed shipments.”
Food retailing sales dropped sharply
“Net sales of our food retailing products and services, which represented approximately 5% of our total net sales in 2024, decreased 14% in both U.S. dollars and local currencies during 2024.”
New risks since the previous report
Possible steep US tariffs on Chinese imports
“Additionally, before taking office, President Trump pledged to impose 60% tariffs on all Chinese imports in his first year.”
Heavy reliance on China for production and profit
“our Chinese operations accounted for 16% of sales to external customers, 29% of total segment profit, and approximately 30% of our global production during 2024.”
New rules on artificial intelligence
“As we introduce AI and machine learning into our technology platform (as well as those of our customers through provision of our services), we could become subject to these new regulations, which may be difficult to comply with.”
Regulatory uncertainty after the Supreme Court ended the Chevron doctrine
“In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrine, ending judicial deference to regulatory agencies.”
Biggest risks named
- Weak demand in China and US-China tariffs
- Prolonged slowdown in pharma, food and chemical customers
- Economic slowdown and inflation
- Currency swings in the Swiss franc, euro and renminbi
- Geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruption

How these scores work
An AI model reads the management discussion, risk factors and legal sections of each report and records what they say, quoting the filing word for word. Fixed rules then turn those findings into a score from 0 to 100, where 60 means nothing notable either way. A score describes the report, not whether the stock is a good investment, and the AI may know how things turned out later, which can colour older scores. Read the methodology
