We believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results "through the eyes of management" in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information enhances investors' understanding of the continuing performance of our business and facilitates comparison of performance to our historical and future periods. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, including industry peer companies, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The discussion below presents information about each of the non-GAAP financial measures and the company's reasons for including or excluding certain categories of income or expenses from our non-GAAP results. In future periods, we may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Accordingly, adjustments for these items and other similar items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be interpreted as implying that these items are non-recurring, infrequent or unusual. Core Revenue/Margin excludes the impact of foreign currency changes and revenue/expenses associated with acquisitions or divestitures completed within the last twelve months. We exclude from the current period, the impact of foreign currency changes as currency rates can fluctuate based on factors that are not within our control and can obscure growth trends. As the nature, size and number of acquisitions can vary significantly from period to period and as compared to our peers, we also exclude revenue/expenses associated with recently acquired businesses to facilitate comparisons of growth and analysis of underlying business trends. Free cash flow includes cash provided by operating activities adjusted for net investments in property, plant & equipment. Non-GAAP Income from Operations, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS may include the following types of adjustments: Acquisition-related Items: We exclude the impact of certain items recorded in connection with business combinations from our non-GAAP financial measures that are either non-cash or not normal, recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts and lack of predictability as to occurrence or timing. These amounts may include non-cash items such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets and amortization of items associated with fair value purchase accounting adjustments. We also exclude other acquisition and integration costs associated with business acquisitions that are not normal recurring operating expenses, including gain/loss on foreign exchange contracts and legal, accounting and due diligence costs. We exclude these charges to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance. Share-based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP financial measures because share-based compensation expense can vary significantly from period to period based on the company's share price, as well as the timing, size and nature of equity awards granted. Management believes the exclusion of this expense facilitates the ability of investors to compare the company's operating results with those of other companies, many of which also exclude share-based compensation expense in determining their non-GAAP financial measures. Restructuring and others: We exclude incremental expenses associated with restructuring initiatives including those of acquired entities, usually aimed at material changes in the business or cost structure. Such costs may include employee separation costs, asset impairments, facility-related costs, contract termination fees, and costs to move operations from one location to another. These activities can vary significantly from period to period based on the timing, size and nature of restructuring plans; therefore, we do not consider such costs to be normal, recurring operating also exclude "others," not normal, recurring, cash operating income/expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures. Such items are evaluated on an individual basis, based on both quantitative and qualitative factors and generally represent items that we do not anticipate occurring as part of our normal business. While not all-inclusive, examples of such items would include net unrealized gains on equity investments still held, significant non-recurring events like realized gains or losses associated with our employee benefit plans, costs and recoveries related to unusual events, gain on sale of assets/divestitures, adjustment attributable to non-controlling interest, etc. We believe that these costs do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company's current operating performance or comparisons to our operating performance in other periods. Estimated Tax Rate: We utilize a consistent methodology for long-term projected non-GAAP tax rate. When projecting this long-term rate, we exclude any tax benefits or expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations and which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Additionally, we evaluate our current long-term projections, current tax structure and other factors, such as existing tax positions in various jurisdictions and key tax holidays in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. This tax rate could change in the future for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to significant changes in geographic earnings mix including acquisition activity, or fundamental tax law changes in major jurisdictions where Keysight operates. The above reasons also limit our ability to reasonably estimate the future GAAP tax rate and provide a reconciliation of the expected non-GAAP earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to the GAAP equivalent. Management recognizes these items can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements, including our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, portray those effects. Although we believe it is useful for investors to see core performance free of special items, investors should understand that the excluded costs are actual expenses that may impact the cash available to us for other uses. To gain a complete picture of all effects on the company's profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company's performance.

Why Medtronic Stock Dropped Today
Key Points Medtronic beat on sales and earnings this morning. Management also upped its guidance for fiscal 2026 earnings. Sales and earnings are both growing by only single digits, and the stock costs 25 times earnings. 10 stocks we like better than Medtronic › Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) stock had declined 3.6% through 2:45 p.m. ET Tuesday despite beating forecasts for fiscal 2026 first-quarter earnings this morning. Heading into the report, analysts predicted Medtronic would earn $1.23 per share on under $8.4 billion in first-quarter revenue. In fact, earnings were $1.26 per share, and sales approached $8.6 billion. Medtronic Q1 earnings Sales at the Ireland-based maker of medical equipment grew 8% year over year, of which almost 5% was organic growth. Earnings, however, didn't. Medtronic's $0.81 per-share profit under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was weaker than its adjusted number (its $1.26 headline figure). Earnings also increased only 1% year over year, far slower than sales growth. Is the stock a buy? The good news is that CEO Geoff Martha says revenue growth will probably accelerate in the second half of fiscal 2026. The bad news is that it also might not accelerate at all. Turning to guidance, the company forecasts 5% organic sales growth for the full year, a bit better than in the first quarter, but total revenue growth for the year of only 6.5% to 6.8%. And that's less than the 8% growth seen in the first quarter. Management says earnings will increase, and it's raising guidance to predict per-share profits between $5.60 and $5.66 this year. But these are only adjusted figures and represent only 4.5% earnings growth year over year -- which would be slower than sales growth and imply narrowing profit margins. The worst news of all for investors, though, is that Medtronic stock costs a rich 25 times trailing earnings today, and that's probably too much to pay for single-digit growth in both sales and earnings. Should you buy stock in Medtronic right now? Before you buy stock in Medtronic, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Medtronic wasn't one of them.

Auna Announces 2Q25 Financial Results
Adjusted EBITDA increases 5% FXN YoY with all segments contributing positively to quarterly results in their local currency LUXEMBOURG, August 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Auna (NYSE: AUNA) ("Auna" or the "Company"), a leading healthcare platform in Latin America with operations in Mexico, Peru, and Colombia, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 ("second quarter 2025" or "2Q25"). Financial results are expressed in Peruvian Soles ("S/" or PEN") and are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), unless otherwise noted. 2Q25 Consolidated Highlights Consolidated Revenue increased 4% FXN while decreasing 2% YoY on reported basis to S/1,094 million Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% FXN, and decreased 3% YoY to S/241 million Adjusted EBITDA Margin remained flat at 22.1% Adjusted Net Income was S/89 million, up from S/13 million in 2Q24 and S/55 million in 1Q25 Leverage Ratio was 3.6x, in line with 3.6x in 1Q25 Oncology MLR reached a record low level of 49.8% Message from Auna's Executive Chairman and President Auna grew its year-over-year ("YoY") FX-neutral Adjusted EBITDA by 5%, with all three country segments contributing positively to our performance recovery in local currency terms. Despite significant foreign exchange headwinds—particularly the depreciation of the Mexican and Colombian currencies versus the Peruvian Sol— each operation demonstrated resilience to execute its strategy with utmost discipline with the goal of delivering clinical and operational excellence, showcasing the power of our diversified geographic footprint. We continue to build a stronger, more efficient organization, while positioning Auna to effectively seize the near to long-term growth opportunities in Mexico's massive private healthcare market. In Mexico, we have contained and stabilized the adverse effects related to physician/supplier relationships that temper the implementation of the AunaWay, in particular with respect to patient/physician alignment and cost containment for payors. Improvements in pricing and service mix, coupled with continued cost discipline, enabled us to grow EBITDA despite lower surgical volumes. This quarter also marked significant progress on key strategic initiatives in Mexico, including recruitment and integration of lead medical directors and physicians, productivity programs, expansion of the Oncosalud network outside of Monterrey, and selective capital deployment. In Peru, revenue growth across both Oncosalud and our healthcare network was supported by plan membership expansion, further price adjustments, and service volume increases, even as we expanded healthcare capacity. In Colombia, the risk-sharing models we have been implementing since last year are gaining additional traction, while collections commitments from intervened payors have been received on time as of the end of the quarter, reducing the need for impairment provisions as well as improvement in margins and cash flow. Looking ahead, we continue to work on the optimization of our capital structure. We improved our maturity profile and maintained our Leverage Ratio at 3.6x, while continuing to target a medium-term goal of below 3.0x. We are confident that the regional healthcare platform we are building—focused on high-complexity care, integrated care delivery, and disciplined capital allocation—positions Auna for further growth and long-term value for all stakeholders. Overview of 2Q25 Consolidated Results Revenues decreased 2% YoY to S/1,094 million, increasing 4% FXN, with revenues in local currency ("L.C.") increasing 5% in Mexico and 8% in Peru while remaining flat versus 2Q24 in Colombia. In Mexico, healthcare network revenue increased, supported by higher tickets associated with high complexity services and an improved pricing mix in other non-core services. The Peruvian healthcare network benefited from higher demand for surgeries, membership growth, as well as price adjustments. In Colombia, the YoY growth in risk-sharing models supported the top line amidst a reduced service offering for intervened EPSs, the local insurance companies. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3% YoY, increasing 5% FXN, to S/241 million, with the margin flat at 22.1%. In L.C. terms, Adjusted EBITDA increased 2% in Mexico, 8% in Peru and 9% in Colombia. The increase in FXN Adjusted EBITDA reflects revenue growth in Mexico and Peru, as well as expenses that support growth, including investments in medical talent in Mexico and Peru, and sales commissions at Oncosalud. In Colombia, Adjusted EBITDA, included lower impairment provisions. Additionally, the results in Auna's reporting currency were impacted by a 16% depreciation of MXN versus PEN and 9% depreciation of COP versus PEN. Net finance costs were S/46 million in 2Q25 versus S/182 million in 2Q24. Net finance costs, excluding FX effects, would have been S/115 million in 2Q25 and S/133 million in 2Q24, a decrease of S/18 million or 13%. The FX impact in 2Q25 includes a positive non-cash amount of S/68 million versus a negative S/49 million non-cash FX impact from 2Q24, mainly due to the effect of the appreciation of the Peruvian Sol against the US Dollar outside the range of Auna's call-spread hedge. Net Income was S/84 million in 2Q25 compared to S/8 million in 2Q24. On a per-share basis, Auna reported Net Income of S/1.10, based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted shares of 74,217,754. Adjusted Net Income was S/89 million in 2Q25, versus S/13 million in 2Q24. On a per-share basis, Auna reported Adjusted Net Income of S/1.17, based on a weighted average number of basic and diluted shares of 74,217,754.
