Danaher Confirms Third Quarter and Full Year 2024 Guidance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE:DHR) (the "Company") confirmed its previously issued guidance for the third quarter and full year 2024 ahead of a previously scheduled analyst event.
The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP core revenue basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP revenue, such as currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines. For both the third quarter and full year 2024, the Company continues to expect that non-GAAP core revenue will be down low-single digits year-over-year.
As previously announced, Danaher will hold an analyst meeting in Washington, D.C. on September 5, 2024 beginning at approximately 10:00 a.m. ET. The event will be hosted by Julie Sawyer Montgomery, Executive Vice President, Diagnostics. A link to the webcast and accompanying slide presentation will be available on the "Investors" section of Danaher's website, www.danaher.com, under the subheading "Events & Presentations." A replay of the video webcast will be available following the presentation.
