NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries are prepared on the same basis as its annual consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and with Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements, but, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, the Company's quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Teleflex” and the “Company” mean Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.

Note 2 — New accounting standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in a joint effort with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued new accounting guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The new guidance is designed to enhance the comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, and will affect any entity that enters into contracts with customers or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The new guidance establishes principles for reporting information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the new guidance that deferred the effective date. The amendment provides that the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years; early application is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance for the reporting of debt issuance costs within the balance sheet. Under the new guidance, debt issuance costs related to term loans are to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Previously, debt issuance costs were presented as a deferred charge (i.e., an asset) on the balance sheet. The guidance provides uniform treatment for debt issuance costs and debt discounts and eliminates inconsistencies that previously existed with other FASB guidance. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2016.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that will change the requirements for accounting for leases. The principal change under the new accounting guidance is that lessees under leases classified as operating leases will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Current lease accounting does not require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities arising under operating leases on the balance sheet. Under the new guidance, lessees (including lessees under leases classified as finance leases and operating leases) will recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease

(Unaudited)

liability on the balance sheet, initially measured as the present value of lease payments under the lease. Expense recognition and cash flow presentation guidance will be based upon whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease (the classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases is substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under current guidance). The standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements; the guidance provides certain practical expedients. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance designed to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including guidance providing generally that excess tax benefits related to share-based awards should be recorded as a reduction to income tax expense (currently, excess tax benefits generally are recorded as additional-paid-in-capital) and addressing other, related guidance on accounting for income taxes with respect to share-based payment awards; providing generally that excess tax benefits related to share-based awards should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity (currently, excess tax benefits generally are separated from other income tax cash flows and classified as a financing activity); providing that an entity may make an accounting policy election either to base compensation cost accruals on the number of awards expected to vest (as required by current guidance) or to account for forfeitures when they occur; modifying the current exception to liability classification such that partial cash settlement of an award for tax withholding purposes would not result, by itself, in liability classification of the award if the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum statutory tax rate in the employees' applicable jurisdictions (currently, an award cannot qualify for equity classification, rather than liability classification, if the amount withheld exceeds the minimum statutory withholding requirements); and providing that cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows (currently there is no authoritative guidance addressing this classification issue). The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted (if early adoption occurs in an interim period, any adjustments will be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period). Depending on the particular issue addressed by the guidance, application of the guidance will be made prospectively, retrospectively or subject to a retrospective transition method. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

In August 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new guidance should be adopted using a retrospective transition method for each period presented; if it is impractical to apply the new standard retrospectively for some of the issues addressed by the new guidance, application of the new guidance with respect to those issues would be made prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on the Company’s cash flows.

From time to time, new accounting guidance is issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that is adopted by the Company as of the effective date or, in some cases where early adoption is permitted, in advance of the effective date. The Company has assessed the recently issued guidance that is not yet effective and, unless otherwise indicated above, believes the new guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

The Company made the following acquisitions during 2016 (the "2016 acquisitions"), which, with the exception of its acquisition of the outstanding noncontrolling interest in Teleflex Medical Private Limited, were accounted for as business combinations:

• On September 2, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of CarTika Medical, Inc., ("CarTika"), an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of catheters and other medical devices that complement the Company's OEM product portfolio.

(Unaudited)

• On July 1, 2016, the Company, which previously owned a 74% controlling interest in its Indian affiliate, Teleflex Medical Private Limited, acquired the remaining 26% ownership interest from the noncontrolling shareholders. Teleflex Medical Private Limited is part of the Company's Asia reportable operating segment. As this acquisition did not result in a change in the Company's control of the entity, the Company recognized the $7.5 million excess of the purchase price of the noncontrolling interest over its carrying value as equity.

• During the second quarter 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of two medical device and supplies distributors in New Zealand.

The aggregate purchase price paid in connection with the 2016 acquisitions was $22.8 million . Transaction expenses associated with the 2016 acquisitions, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of income were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 , respectively. The results of operations of the 2016 acquisitions are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income from their respective acquisition dates. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 , the Company recorded revenue and income from continuing operations before taxes related to the acquired businesses of $0.9 million and $0.2 million , respectively. Pro forma information is not presented, as the operations of the acquired businesses are not significant to the overall operations of the Company.

The following table presents the preliminary fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with respect to those 2016 acquisitions that were accounted for as a business combination:

	(Dollars in thousands)
Assets
Current assets	$ 2,480
Property, plant and equipment	537
Intangible assets:
Non-compete agreements	608
Customer relationships	6,445
Goodwill	3,947
Total assets acquired	14,017
Less:
Current liabilities	597
Liabilities assumed	597
Net assets acquired	$ 13,420

The Company is continuing to evaluate the 2016 acquisitions, and further adjustments may be necessary as a result of the Company's assessment of additional information related to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, primarily deferred tax liabilities and goodwill. Among the acquired assets, customer lists have useful lives ranging from 10 to 16 years and non-compete arrangements have useful lives of 2 years. The goodwill resulting from the acquisitions primarily reflects synergies currently expected to be realized from the integration of the acquired businesses.

The Company made the following acquisitions during 2015 (the "2015 acquisitions"), which, with the exception of the Company's acquisition of certain assets of Ace Medical US, LLC ("Ace Medical"), were accounted for as business combinations:

Note 4 — Restructuring charges

2016 Other Restructuring Program

During the third quarter 2016, the Company committed to actions associated with consolidation of operations impacting three manufacturing facilities, including certain of those obtained in recent acquisitions, as well as certain global administrative functions. The actions commenced in the third quarter 2016 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter 2018. The Company estimates that it will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $2.5 million to $3.5 million related to these actions, substantially all of which constitute termination benefits that will result in future cash outlays. Additionally, the Company expects to incur approximately $1 million of accelerated depreciation and other costs directly related to the program and expect these costs to be recognized in cost of goods sold, of which, approximately $0.5 million is expected to result in future outlays.

The Company recorded restructuring charges, specifically, employee termination benefits, of $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 related to these actions. As of September 25, 2016 , the Company has a reserve of $1.7 million related to this program.

2016 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan

On February 23, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “2016 Plan") designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiencies and enhance the Company’s long term competitive position. The 2016 Plan, which was developed in response to continuing cost pressures in the healthcare industry, primarily involves the relocation of certain manufacturing operations, the relocation and outsourcing of certain distribution operations and a related workforce reduction at certain of the Company's facilities. These actions commenced in the first quarter 2016 and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2018.

The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with the 2016 Plan of between approximately $34 million to $44 million , of which an estimated $27 million to $31 million are expected to result in future cash outlays. Most of these charges, and the related cash outlays, are expected to be made prior to the end of 2018.

2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan

In April 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the "2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan") involving the consolidation of operations and a related reduction in workforce at certain facilities, and the relocation of manufacturing operations from certain higher-cost locations to existing lower-cost locations. These actions commenced in the second quarter 2014.

During the third quarter 2016, the Company revised its expense and timing estimates related to the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan to reflect the impact of changes the Company has implemented with respect to medication delivery devices included in certain of the kits primarily sold by the Company’s Vascular North America operating segment and, to a lesser extent, the Company's Anesthesia North America operating segment. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan of approximately $43 million to $48 million , compared to the Company’s prior estimate of approximately $37 million to $44 million . The Company expects aggregate cash outlays associated with the plan to be in the range of $33 million to $38 million , compared to its prior estimate of approximately $26 million to $31 million . Most of these charges and cash outlays are expected to be incurred prior to 2020. Additionally, as of September 25, 2016, the Company continues to expect to incur $24 million to $30 million in aggregate capital expenditures under the plan.

The Company currently expects that the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the first half of 2020 rather than the end of 2017, which was previously estimated.

In May 2012, the Company acquired Semprus BioSciences Corp. ("Semprus"), a biomedical research and development company that developed a polymer surface treatment technology intended to reduce thrombus related complications. As previously disclosed, the Company experienced difficulties with respect to the development of the Semprus technology, and devoted further research and testing towards attempting to resolve the issue. As a result of these efforts, the Company believes it has resolved the issue and is focused on seeking regulatory approval and engaging in additional research and development efforts to achieve commercialization of the technology. Despite the progress made since these issues were first identified, significant challenges to commercialization of the Semprus technology remain, and the Company ultimately may find it necessary to recognize impairment charges with respect to the related assets, which could be material. As of September 25, 2016 , the Company has in-process research and development intangible assets of $41.0 million related to this investment, which is recorded in intangible assets, net.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $16.1 million and $15.5 million for the three months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 , respectively, and $47.5 million and $45.3 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 , respectively.

4.875% Senior Notes

On May 16, 2016, the Company issued $400.0 million of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). The Company will pay interest on the 2026 Notes semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2016, at a rate of 4.875% per year. The 2026 Notes mature on June 1, 2026 unless earlier redeemed by the Company at its option, as described below, or purchased by the Company at the holder’s option under specified circumstances following a Change of Control or Asset Sale (each as defined in the Indenture related to the 2026 Notes) or upon the Company’s election to exercise its optional redemption rights, as described below. The Company incurred transaction fees of approximately $6.5 million , including underwriters’ discounts and commissions, in connection with the offering of the 2026 Notes, which were recorded as a reduction to long-term borrowings and are being amortized over the term of the 2026 Notes. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.

The Company's obligations under the 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s existing and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor or other obligor under the Company’s revolving credit facility and by certain of the Company’s other 100% owned domestic subsidiaries.

At any time on or after June 1, 2021, the Company may, on one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price of 102.438% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes subject to redemption, declining, in annual increments of 0.813% , to 100% of the principal amount on June 1, 2024, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2021, the Company may, on one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium and any accrued and unpaid interest. The “make-whole” premium is the greater of (a) 1.0% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes subject to redemption or (b) the excess, if any, over the principal amount of the 2026 Notes of the present value, on the redemption date of the sum of (i) the June 1, 2021 optional redemption price plus (ii) all required interest payments on the 2026 Notes through June 1, 2021 (other than accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date), generally computed using a discount rate equal to the yield to maturity of U.S. Treasury securities with a constant maturity for the period most nearly equal to the period from the redemption date to June 1, 2021, plus 50 basis points.

In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2019, the Company may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes, using the proceeds of specified types of Company equity offerings

For a discussion regarding the classification of the Convertible Notes as a current liability, see Note 8 to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Exchange Transactions

On April 4, 2016, pursuant to separate, privately negotiated agreements between the Company and certain of the holders (the "Holders") of its 3.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the "Convertible Notes"), the Company paid cash and common stock (the "Exchange Consideration") to the Holders in exchange for $219.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the "Exchange Transactions"). The Exchange Consideration paid to each of the Holders per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes is equal to: (i) $1,000 in cash, (ii) a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the amount of the conversion value of the Convertible Notes in excess of the $1,000 principal amount (the "Conversion Shares"), calculated on the basis of the average daily volume weighted average price per share of Company common stock over a specified period (the "Average Daily VWAP"), (iii) an inducement payment in additional shares of common stock (the "Inducement Shares"), calculated based on the Average Daily VWAP and (iv) cash in an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the closing date. As a result of the Exchange Transactions, the Company paid the Holders aggregate cash consideration of $220.7 million (which includes $1.5 million in accrued but previously unpaid interest) and issued and delivered to the Holders 2.17 million shares of Company common stock (including both Conversion Shares and Inducement Shares).The Company funded the $220.7 million cash payment constituting part of the Exchange Consideration through borrowings under its revolving credit agreement. The issuance of the shares of the Company’s common stock to the Holders pursuant to the Exchange Transactions was made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. As a result of the Exchange Transactions, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $16.3 million .

In connection with entering into the Exchange Transactions, the Company also entered into bond hedge unwind agreements (the "Hedge Unwind Agreements") with the dealer counterparties to the convertible note hedge transactions that were effected at the time of the initial issuance of the Convertible Notes. Under the Hedge Unwind Agreements, the number of call options subject to the Convertible Note hedge transactions was reduced to reflect proportionately the reduction in the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes following the Exchange Transactions. In addition, the Company entered into warrant unwind agreements (the “Warrant Unwind Agreements”) with the dealer counterparties to reduce the number of warrants initially issued to the dealer counterparties, also in connection with the initial issuance of the Convertible Notes. On a net basis, after giving effect to the Hedge Unwind Agreements and Warrant Unwind Agreements, the Company received 0.3 million shares of Company common stock from such dealer counterparties.

Conversions

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company settled conversion notices previously received by the Company in respect of $44.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the "Converted Notes"). In accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture relating to the Convertible Notes, the Company delivered to each holder of the Converted Notes (the "Converting Holders") a combination of cash and shares of Company common stock, based on the conversion methodology set forth in the supplemental indenture. The Company provided the Converting Holders, in the aggregate, $44.3 million in cash and 0.4 million shares of Company common stock. As a result of the conversions, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million .

Under the terms of the agreements related to the Convertible Note hedge transactions, and in connection with the conversions described above, the counterparties to the Convertible Note hedge transactions delivered to the Company a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of shares of Company common stock delivered to the Converting Holders. Additionally, the Company entered into warrant unwind agreements with the dealer counterparties to reduce the number of warrants initially issued. The Company delivered 0.4 million shares of Company common stock to the dealer counterparties in connection with the warrant unwind agreements.

Fair Value of Long-Term Borrowings

To determine the fair value of the debt categorized as Level 2 in the table below, the Company uses a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile. The Company’s implied credit rating is a factor in determining the market interest yield curve. The following table provides the fair value of the Company’s debt as of September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015, categorized by the level of inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to measure fair value (see Note 10, “Fair value measurement,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for further information):

These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair market value. The effective portion of the gains or losses on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and thereafter is recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, if any, are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of income in the period in which such gains and losses occur.

Non-designated Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as part of its strategy to manage exposure related to near term foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges; therefore, the changes in fair value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income as a selling, general and administrative expense. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts for periods consistent with its currency translation exposures, which generally approximate one month. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 , the Company recognized a loss related to non-designated foreign currency forward contracts of $0.1 million and $1.7 million , respectively.

There was no ineffectiveness related to the Company’s cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 .

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the Company’s large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. A portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable outside the United States, however, include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the creditworthiness of those countries and the financial stability of their economies.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for trade accounts receivable based on the Company’s historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable, considering the time an account is outstanding, the financial position of the customer and information provided by credit rating services. The adequacy of this allowance is reviewed each reporting period and adjusted as necessary. The allowance for doubtful accounts

was $9.0 million and $8.0 million at September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The current portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts at September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $2.1 million and $2.0 million , respectively, was reflected in accounts receivable, net. The allowance for doubtful accounts on receivables outstanding for greater than one year at September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $6.9 million and $6.0 million , respectively, was reflected in other assets.

Certain of the Company’s customers, particularly in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, have extended or delayed payments for products and services already provided, raising collectability concerns regarding the Company’s accounts receivable from these customers. As a result, the Company continues to closely monitor the allowance for doubtful accounts with respect to these customers. The aggregate net current and long-term trade accounts receivable for customers in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal and the percentage of the Company’s total net current and long-term trade accounts receivable represented by the net current and long-term trade accounts receivable for customers in those countries at September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

	September 25, 2016	December 31, 2015
	(Dollars in thousands)
Current and long-term trade accounts receivable (net of allowances of $8.0 million and $7.2 million at September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively) in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal (1)	$ 59,785	$ 62,272
Percentage of total net current and long-term trade accounts receivable - Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal	22.9 %	23.9 %

(1) The long-term portion of trade accounts receivable, net from customers in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal at September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $7.7 million and $8.1 million , respectively, and is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other assets.

For the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 , net revenues from customers in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal were $95.8 million and $94.4 million , respectively.

Note 9 — Fair value measurement

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities reported at fair value among Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 25, 2016 .

The following table provides information regarding changes, during the nine months ended September 25, 2016 , in Level 3 financial liabilities related to contingent consideration, which are described below in this Note 9 under "valuation techniques":

	Contingent consideration

Valuation Techniques

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities held in trust, which are available to satisfy benefit obligations under Company benefit plans and other arrangements. The investment assets of the trust are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency transaction exposure as well as exposure to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts by calculating the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities, based on quoted market prices, and taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs are comprised of contingent consideration arrangements pertaining to the Company’s acquisitions. In connection with several of its acquisitions, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration upon the achievement of specified objectives, including receipt of regulatory approvals, commercialization of a product or achievement of sales targets. The Company accounts for contingent consideration in accordance with applicable accounting guidance related to business combinations, recording contingent consideration liabilities at the time of an acquisition based on the fair value of future payments under its contingent consideration arrangement. The Company determines the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. In determining the fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future payments under contingent consideration arrangements, the Company considers several factors, including:

l estimated cash flows projected from the success of market launches;

l the estimated time and resources needed to complete the development of acquired technologies;

l the uncertainty of obtaining regulatory approvals within the required time periods; and

TELEFLEX INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

l the risk adjusted discount rate for fair value measurement.

As the fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market, it represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with the Company's contingent consideration arrangements, the Company estimates that it will make payments from 2016 through 2029. As of September 25, 2016 , the range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay under contingent consideration arrangements is between $7.0 million and $46.3 million . The Company is required to reevaluate the fair value of contingent consideration each reporting period based on new developments and record changes in fair value until such consideration is satisfied through payment upon the achievement of the specified objectives or is no longer payable due to failure to achieve the specified objectives.

The following table provides information regarding the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 measurements as of September 25, 2016 :

	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Input	Range (Weighted Average)
Contingent consideration	Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	2.3% - 10% (8.4%)
Contingent consideration		Probability of payment	2% - 100% (71.3%)

As of September 25, 2016 , the Company recorded $22.4 million of total liabilities for contingent consideration, of which $7.5 million was recorded as the current portion of contingent consideration and $14.9 million was recorded as other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 10 — Changes in shareholders’ equity

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner except that the weighted average number of shares is increased to include dilutive securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Shares in thousands)
Basic	44,045	41,597	43,081	41,542
Dilutive effect of share-based awards	639	511	574	483
Dilutive effect of 3.875% Convertible Notes and warrants	2,762	6,424	4,169	5,944
Diluted	47,446	48,532	47,824	47,969

Weighted average shares that were antidilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share were 1.4 million and 3.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 , respectively, and 5.4 million and 5.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2015 , respectively.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge and warrant agreements. The convertible note hedge, consisting of call options held by the Company, economically reduces the dilutive impact of the Convertible Notes. However, applicable accounting guidance requires the Company to separately address the dilutive impact of the warrants issued under the warrant agreements in computing diluted weighted average shares outstanding, without giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the call options. The reduction in the number of diluted shares that would result from giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the call options would have been 1.5 million and 2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 , respectively, and 3.5 million and 3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2015 , respectively. The treasury stock method is applied to the warrants when the average market price of the Company's common stock during the reporting

period presented exceeds the warrant exercise price of $74.65 per share, and assumes the proceeds from the exercise of the warrants are used by the Company to repurchase shares based on such average market price. Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants that were included in the total diluted shares outstanding were 1.3 million and 1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and 2.9 million and 2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2015 , respectively.

See Note 7 for information regarding the reduction in the outstanding principal amount of Convertible Notes as a result of the Company's acquisition of Convertibles Notes in exchange for cash and shares of Company common stock, as well as the conversion of a portion of the Convertible Notes, and the related reduction in the number of call options and warrants outstanding under the convertible note hedge and warrant agreements.

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016, as compared to the prior year period, reflects an increased tax expense associated with a shift in income to jurisdictions with higher tax rates. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2015 also reflects a benefit associated with a legislative tax rate change.

Note 12 — Pension and other postretirement benefits

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The defined benefit pension plans are noncontributory. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and regulations. Obligations under non-U.S. plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or by book reserves. As of September 25, 2016 , no further benefits are being accrued under the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans and the Company’s other postretirement benefit plans, other than certain postretirement benefit plans covering employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Note 13 — Commitments and contingent liabilities

Operating leases: The Company uses various leased facilities and equipment in its operations.

In the first quarter 2016, the Company entered into a build-to-suit lease with respect to a facility in Ireland that will be used for the Company's European and global operations headquarters. Under the build-to-suit lease, the landlord is responsible for the construction and configuration of the facility to the Company's specifications, and the Company is obligated to lease the facility following construction completion. In accordance with applicable accounting principles, the Company is deemed the owner of the facility during the construction period and is required to record, during the construction period, the estimated fair value of the incurred construction costs as construction in progress, and a liability for the costs not funded by the Company. As of September 25, 2016, the Company recorded $14.6 million in property, plant and equipment representing the estimated fair value of the incurred construction costs. The construction of the building and tenant improvements were completed and the Company took occupancy of the entire building in October 2016, at which point, the Company derecognized the assets and related liabilities pertaining to the leased facility.

Environmental: The Company is subject to contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the Company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the Company or other parties. Much of this liability results from the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, often referred to as Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and similar state laws. These laws require the Company to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where the Company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and their enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At September 25, 2016 , the Company has recorded $1.0 million and $5.3 million in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these liabilities and, if adverse changes in circumstances occur, the potential liability may exceed the amount accrued as of September 25, 2016 . The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 15 - 20 years.

Litigation: The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment, environmental and other matters. As of September 25, 2016 , the Company has recorded accrued liabilities of $2.5 million in connection with such contingencies, representing its best estimate of the cost within the range of estimated possible losses that will be incurred to resolve these matters. Of the amount accrued as of September 25, 2016 , $1.5 million pertains to discontinued operations.

In 2006, the Company was named as a defendant in a wrongful death product liability lawsuit filed in the Louisiana State District Court for the Parish of Calcasieu, involving a product manufactured by the Company’s former marine business. In September 2014, the case was tried before a jury, which returned a verdict in favor of the Company. The plaintiff subsequently filed a motion for a new trial, which was granted, and the case was re-tried before a jury in December 2014. On December 5, 2014, the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, awarding $0.1 million in compensatory damages and $23.0 million in punitive damages, plus pre-judgment and post-judgment interest on the compensatory damages and post-judgment interest on the punitive damages. The Company's post-trial motions seeking to overturn the verdict or reduce the amount of damages were denied in June 2015. The Company appealed to the Louisiana Court of Appeal, and the plaintiff filed a cross-appeal, seeking to overturn the trial court’s denial of pre-judgment interest on the punitive damages award. On June 29, 2016, the Louisiana Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court verdict in all respects. The Company filed a motion for rehearing with the Louisiana Court of Appeal, which was denied on August 3, 2016. The Company and the plaintiff have filed motions for writ of certiorari (a request for review) to the Louisiana Supreme Court, which are currently pending. As of September 25, 2016 , the Company has accrued a liability representing its best estimate of probable loss associated with this matter, which is included in the Company’s accrued liabilities for litigation matters relating to discontinued operations discussed in the preceding paragraph. The Company believes that any liability arising from this matter in excess of $10.0 million will be covered by the Company’s product liability insurance.

Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any outstanding litigation and claims is likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period incurred.

Tax audits and examinations: The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to tax examinations by various tax authorities. As of September 25, 2016 , the most significant tax examinations in process are in Austria and Canada. The Company may establish reserves with respect to its uncertain tax positions, after which it adjusts its reserves to address developments with respect to these uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, developments in tax audits and examinations, including resolution of uncertain tax positions, could result in increases or decreases to the Company’s recorded tax liabilities, which could impact the Company’s financial results.

Other: The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of its business. On average, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market prices.

Note 14 — Segment information

An operating segment is a component of the Company (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. The Company does not evaluate its operating segments using discrete asset information.

The Company has the following six reportable operating segments: Vascular North America, Anesthesia North America, Surgical North America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Asia and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer and Development Services). The Company's reportable segments, other than the OEM segment, design, manufacture and distribute medical devices primarily used in critical care, surgical applications and cardiac care and

generally serve two end markets: hospitals and healthcare providers, and home health. The products of these segments are most widely used in the acute care setting for a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and in general and specialty surgical applications. The Company’s OEM segment designs, manufactures and supplies devices and instruments for other medical device manufacturers.

Operating segments other than the reportable operating segments are collectively presented in the “All other” category within the tabular information set forth below.

The following tables present the Company’s segment results for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 :

Note 15 — Condensed consolidating guarantor financial information

The 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes are issued by Teleflex Incorporated (the "Parent Company"), and payment of the Parent Company's obligations under the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions. Each Guarantor Subsidiary is directly or indirectly 100% owned by the Parent Company. The Company’s condensed consolidating statements of income and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 , condensed consolidating balance sheets as of September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015 , provide consolidated information for:

a. Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

b. Guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis;

c. Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (i.e., those subsidiaries of the Parent Company that have not guaranteed payment of the 2024 Notes and 2026 Notes), on a combined basis; and

d. Parent Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The same accounting policies as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 are used by the Parent Company and each of its subsidiaries in connection with the condensed consolidating financial information, except for the use of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

Consolidating entries and eliminations in the following condensed consolidated financial statements represent adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in subsidiaries and (c) record consolidating entries.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” “prospects” and similar expressions typically are used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about our business and the industry and markets in which we operate. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers or suppliers; delays or cancellations in shipments; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; our ability to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, realize planned synergies and operate such businesses profitably in accordance with expectations; our ability to effectively execute our restructuring programs; our inability to realize savings resulting from restructuring plans and programs at anticipated levels; the impact of recently passed healthcare reform legislation and changes in Medicare, Medicaid and third party coverage and reimbursements; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on revenues and pricing; increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; global economic factors, including currency exchange rates, interest rates, sovereign debt issues and the impact of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union; difficulties entering new markets; and general economic conditions. For a further discussion of the risks relating to our business, see Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 . We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise specifically stated by us or as required by law or regulation.

Overview

Teleflex is a global provider of medical technology products that enhance clinical benefits, improve patient and provider safety and reduce total procedural costs. We primarily design, develop, manufacture and supply single-use medical devices used by hospitals and healthcare providers for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. We market and sell our products worldwide through a combination of our direct sales force and distributors. Because our products are used in numerous markets and for a variety of procedures, we are not dependent upon any one end-market or procedure. We are focused on achieving consistent, sustainable and profitable growth by increasing our market share and improving our operating efficiencies.

We evaluate our portfolio of products and businesses on an ongoing basis to ensure alignment with our overall objectives. Based on our evaluation, we may identify opportunities to divest businesses and product lines that do not meet our objectives. In addition, we may seek to optimize utilization of our facilities through restructuring initiatives designed to further reduce our cost base and enhance our competitive position. For a discussion of our ongoing restructuring programs, see "Restructuring charges" under “Results of Operations” below.

During the first nine months of 2016, we completed acquisitions of businesses that complement our OEM and Asia reportable operating segments. In addition, during this period, we acquired the remaining 26% ownership interest in an Indian affiliate from the noncontrolling shareholders. The total fair value of the consideration for these transactions was $22.8 million .

During 2015, we completed several acquisitions of businesses that complement the anesthesia, surgical ligation, vascular and OEM product portfolios, as well as several acquisitions of distributors of medical devices and supplies. The total fair value of consideration for these acquisitions was $96.5 million .

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 , we provided disclosure regarding our critical accounting estimates, which are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

Results of Operations

As used in this discussion, "new products" are products that we have sold for 36 months or less, and “existing products” are products that we have sold for more than 36 months. Discussion of results of operations items that reference the effect of one or more acquired businesses (except as noted below with respect to acquired distributors) generally reflects the impact of the acquisitions within the first 12 months following the date of the acquisition. In addition to increases and decreases in the per unit selling prices of our products to our customers, our discussion of the impact of product price increases and decreases also reflects, for the first 12 months following the acquisition or termination of a distributor, the impact on the pricing of our products resulting from the elimination of the distributor from the sales channel. If an acquired distributor had pre-acquisition sales of products other than ours, the impact of the post-acquisition sales of those products on our results of operations is included within our discussion of the impact of acquired businesses.

Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.

Net Revenues

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Net Revenues	$ 455.6	$ 443.7	$ 1,354.1	$ 1,325.2

Net revenues for the three months ended September 25, 2016 increased $11.9 million , or 2.7% , compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in new product sales of $5.8 million, primarily in the Surgical North America, Vascular North America and Anesthesia North America segments, an increase in sales volumes of existing products of $4.1 million, primarily in the EMEA and OEM segments, price increases of $2.9 million and net revenues generated by acquired businesses, partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations on foreign currency exchange rates of $1.6 million.

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 increased $28.9 million , or 2.2% , compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in new product sales of $16.4 million and an increase in sales volumes of existing products of $15.7 million, both in most of our segments, price increases of $6.0 million, primarily in the Surgical North America, Vascular North America, and Asia segments and net revenues generated by acquired businesses of $2.6 million, partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of $11.7 million.

Gross profit

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Gross profit	$ 241.6	$ 228.2	$ 723.1	$ 684.1
Percentage of sales	53.0 %	51.4 %	53.4 %	51.6 %

Gross margin for the three months ended September 25, 2016 improved 160 basis points, or 3.1% , compared to the prior year period. The increase in gross margin reflects the impact of favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of lower manufacturing costs, and the impact of price increases, primarily in the Asia, Vascular North America and Surgical North America segments.

Gross margin for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 improved 180 basis points, or 3.5% , compared to the prior year period. The increase in gross margin reflects the impact of an increase in sales of higher margin products, primarily in the Anesthesia North America and EMEA segments, and the impact of favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including the impact of lower manufacturing costs. Manufacturing costs were also favorably impacted by cost improvement initiatives, including the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan, and the resolution of certain product recall and quality issues impacting prior periods, partially offset by inflationary cost increases.

Selling, general and administrative

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Selling, general and administrative	$ 139.8	$ 138.8	$ 419.1	$ 420.8
Percentage of sales	30.7 %	31.3 %	31.0 %	31.8 %

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 25, 2016 increased $1.0 million compared to the prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $3.1 million and a reduction in the net benefit resulting from contingent consideration liability reversals of $1.4 million, partially offset by the favorable impact of the suspension of the excise tax under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the "Affordable Care Act") of $3.5 million and the favorable impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates of $1.3 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 decreased $1.7 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to the favorable impact of the suspension of the excise tax under the Affordable Care Act of $10.0 million, partially offset by a reduction in the net benefit resulting from contingent consideration liability reversals of $4.9 million and an increase in selling and marketing expenses of $3.4 million.

Research and development

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Research and development	$ 15.1	$ 12.6	$ 42.9	$ 38.9
Percentage of sales	3.3 %	2.8 %	3.2 %	2.9 %

The increase in research and development expense for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2016 compared to the prior year periods is primarily attributable to increased spending on new product development with respect to several of our segments.

Restructuring charges

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Restructuring charges	$ 3.0	$ 0.7	$ 12.9	$ 5.7

For the three months and nine ended September 25, 2016 , we recorded $3.0 million and $12.9 million respectively, in restructuring charges primarily related to termination benefits associated with the 2016 Other Restructuring Program and the 2016 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan.

For the three months ended September 27, 2015 , we recorded $0.7 million in restructuring charges, which were primarily related to termination benefits associated with the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan.

For the nine months ended September 27, 2015 , we recorded $5.7 million in restructuring charges, which primarily related to termination benefits and contract termination costs recorded in connection with our 2015 restructuring programs and 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan.

2016 Other Restructuring Program

During the third quarter 2016, we committed to certain actions designed to further improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs. These actions include the consolidation of global administrative functions and manufacturing operations. This program commenced in the third quarter of 2016 and is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the first quarter of 2018. We estimate that we will record aggregate pre-tax charges of $2.5 million to $3.5 million related to this program, substantially all of which constitute termination benefits that will result in future cash outlays. Additionally, we expect to incur approximately $1 million of accelerated depreciation and other costs directly related to the plan, which will be recognized in cost of goods sold, of which, approximately $0.5 million is expected to result in future outlays.

We expect to achieve annualized pre-tax savings of $4.5 million to $5.5 million once this program has been fully implemented and expect that we will begin realizing plan-related savings in 2017.

2016 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan

On February 23, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan that involves the consolidation of operations and a related workforce reduction at certain of our facilities (the "2016 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan"). We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with these restructuring activities of approximately $34 million to $44 million, of which, we estimate $27 million to $31 million will result in future cash outlays. Additionally, we expect to incur aggregate capital expenditures of approximately $17 million to $19 million in connection with the 2016 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan. We currently expect to achieve annualized savings of $12 million to $16 million once the plan is fully implemented and currently expect to realize plan-related savings beginning in 2017.

2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan

In April 2014, our Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan (the "2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan") involving the consolidation of operations and a related reduction in workforce at certain facilities, and the relocation of manufacturing operations from certain higher-cost locations to existing lower-cost locations. These actions commenced in the second quarter 2014 and were initially expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2017.

To date, we have completed the consolidation and relocation of a significant portion of the operations subject to the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan, and estimate that we will achieve annualized savings of approximately $17 million by the end of 2016 directly related to these actions. With respect to the remaining actions to be taken under the plan, we revised our savings, expense and timing estimates during the third quarter 2016 to reflect the impact of changes we have implemented with respect to medication delivery devices included in certain kits primarily sold by our Vascular North America operating segment and, to a lesser extent, certain kits primarily sold by our Anesthesia North America operating segment. As a result of these changes, we have reduced our estimate with respect to the overall annualized savings we expect to realize under the plan from our prior estimate of $28 million to $35 million to a range of $23 million to $27 million. We anticipate that this decrease in projected savings will be offset, in large part, by an expected increase in annual revenues resulting from improved pricing on the affected Vascular kits directly related to the changes described above. We anticipate that this projected increase in annual revenues, taken together with the projected annualized savings we expect to realize under the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan, should enable us to improve our pre-tax income on an annualized basis by approximately $28 million to $33 million once the plan has been completed.

As a result of the changes described above, we also revised our estimates with respect to the charges we expect to incur in connection with the plan. Specifically, we now estimate that we will incur $43 million to $48 million in aggregate pre-tax charges associated with the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan, compared to our prior estimate of approximately $37 million to $44 million. In addition, we expect cash outlays associated with the plan to be in the range of $33 million to $38 million, compared to our prior estimate of approximately $26 million to $31 million. We continue to expect to incur $24 million to $30 million in aggregate capital expenditures under the plan.

We currently expect that the 2014 Manufacturing Footprint Realignment Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the first half of 2020 rather than the end of 2017, which we previously anticipated.

We currently are evaluating the feasibility of alternative measures designed to mitigate the loss of expected savings and accelerate the currently estimated timetable for completion of the plan.

Interest expense

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Interest expense	$ 12.9	$ 14.3	$ 38.6	$ 47.7
Average interest rate on debt	4.1 %	3.4 %	3.7 %	4.0 %

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 25, 2016 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to repayment of a portion of our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and 3.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017, resulting in lower average debt outstanding compared to the prior period. These decreases were partially offset by our issuance of the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and an increase in the variable interest rates associated with the Revolving Credit Facility.

The decrease in interest expense for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 compared to the prior year periods primarily reflects the impact of our June 2015 redemption of $250 million in principal amount of our 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2019 (the "2019 Notes") using borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which bears interests at a variable interest rate that is lower than the interest rate on the 2019 Notes. Our 2026 Notes, which we issued in May 2016, also carry a lower interest rate than the 2019 Notes, but as we used the net proceeds from the sale of our 2026 Notes to reduce outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility, the effect of our issuance of the 2026 Notes was a marginal increase in our interest expense, although still below 2015 levels.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015
	(Dollars in millions)		(Dollars in millions)
Loss on extinguishment of debt	$ —	$ —	$ 19.3	$ 10.5

For the nine months ended September 25, 2016 , we recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $19.3 million, of which, $16.3 million related to the settlement of exchange transactions we entered into with certain holders of our 3.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the "Convertible Notes") and $3.0 million related to the settlement of conversions with respect to $44.3 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information. During the nine months ended September 27, 2015, we recognized a $10.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from our redemption of $250 million in principal amount of the 2019 Notes.

Gain on sale of assets

	Three Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015	Nine Months Ended — September 25, 2016	September 27, 2015

Gain on sale of assets	$ 2.8	$ 0.4	$ 4.2	$ 0.4

During the three months ended September 25, 2016 , we recognized a gain of $2.8 million , primarily as a result of the sale, for $6.0 million, of a building that previously was classified as held for sale.

During the nine months ended September 25, 2016 , we recognized a gain of $4.2 million , primarily as a result of the sale, for $8.9 million, of two buildings, one of which was previously classified as held for sale.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility will enable us to fund our operating requirements, capital expenditures and debt obligations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. We have net cash provided by United States based operating activities as well as non-United States sources of cash available to help fund our debt service requirements in the United States. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by monitoring the funds available among our subsidiaries and determining the extent to which we can access those funds on a cost effective basis. We are not aware of any restrictions on repatriation of these funds and, subject to cash payment of additional United States income taxes or foreign withholding taxes, these funds could be repatriated, if necessary. Any resulting additional taxes could be offset, at least in part, by foreign tax credits. The amount of any taxes required to be paid, which could be significant, and the application of tax credits would be determined based on income tax laws in effect at the time of such repatriation. We do not expect any such repatriation to result in additional tax expense because taxes have been provided for on unremitted foreign earnings that we do not consider permanently reinvested.

To date, we have not experienced significant payment defaults by our customers, and we have sufficient lending commitments in place to enable us to fund our anticipated additional operating needs. However, although there have been recent improvements in certain countries, global financial markets remain volatile and the global credit markets are constrained, which creates a risk that our customers and suppliers may be unable to access liquidity. Consequently, we continue to monitor our credit risk, particularly related to certain countries in Europe. As of September 25, 2016 , our net current and long-term trade accounts receivable from publicly funded hospitals in Italy, Spain, Portugal and

Greece were $34.7 million compared to $37.4 million as of December 31, 2015 . For the nine months ended September 25, 2016 and September 27, 2015, net revenues from customers in these countries were 7.1% of total net revenues, and average days that current and long-term trade accounts receivables were outstanding were 190 days and 229 days, respectively. As of September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , net current and long-term accounts receivables from these countries were approximately 22.9% and 23.9% , respectively, of our consolidated net current and long-term trade accounts receivable. If economic conditions in these countries deteriorate, we may experience significant credit losses related to the public hospital systems in these countries. Moreover, if global economic conditions generally deteriorate, we may experience further delays in customer payments, reductions in our customers’ purchases and higher credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows in 2016 and future years.

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations provided net cash of approximately $301.6 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 as compared to $176.8 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2015. The $124.8 million increase is attributable to improved operating results, a net favorable impact from changes in working capital and a reduction in income tax payments. The increase in net cash inflow from working capital is primarily the result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, a decrease in accounts receivable and a decrease in cash outflow for inventories. The cash inflow for accounts payable and accrued expenses was $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 as compared to an outflow of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2015. The decrease in cash outflows for accounts payable and accrued expenses, excluding the net increase in the restructuring reserve of $7.9 million, is primarily the result of higher accrued interest due to the timing of interest payments associated with the 2026 Notes and certain non-recurring accrued expense payments made during the nine months ended September 27, 2015, partially offset by a reduction in the cash outflow for accounts payable related to the reduced need for inventory builds for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2015. The cash inflow for accounts receivable was $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 as compared to an outflow of $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2015. The increase is attributable to improved collections. The net cash outflow for purchase of inventories for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 was $5.6 million as compared to $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2015 . The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduced need for inventory builds in support of distributor to direct conversions and our 2014 manufacturing footprint realignment plan.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $40.2 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 , primarily resulting from capital expenditures of $35.9 million and payments for businesses and intangibles acquired of $14.0 million including CarTika and certain distributor acquisitions in New Zealand, which were comprised primarily of intangible assets, including goodwill, and inventory. These payments were partially offset by proceeds from asset sales, primarily two buildings, of $9.8 million .

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $97.9 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2016 , primarily resulting from dividends paid of $44.0 million , a net reduction in borrowings of $42.8 million resulting from a $50 million repayment of borrowings under our revolving credit agreement as well as borrowing activity described in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report, a $9.2 million payment for the acquisition of the remaining 26% noncontrolling interest of our Indian affiliate and debt extinguishment and issuance fees, including transaction fees associated with the issuance of the 2026 Notes, of $9.0 million , partially offset by $7.6 million of net proceeds from shared based compensation plans and the related tax benefits, primarily stock option exercises .

Borrowings

Our 3.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017 (the "Convertible Notes") are convertible under certain circumstances, as described in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Since the fourth quarter 2013, our closing stock price has exceeded the threshold for conversion and, accordingly, the Convertible Notes were classified as a current liability as of September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We have elected a net settlement method to satisfy our conversion obligations, under which we settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash and settle the excess of the conversion value of the Convertible Notes over the principal amount of the notes in shares; however, cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

In April 2016, we exchanged $219.2 million in cash and 2.17 million shares of our common stock for $219.2 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes (the “Exchange Transactions”). We funded

the $219.2 million cash portion of the consideration paid in connection with the Exchange Transactions through borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In addition, during the second quarter of 2016, we delivered $44.3 million in cash and 0.4 million shares of our common stock to holders of $44.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes who exercised their conversion rights under the Convertible Notes. We funded the cash portion of the conversion obligation through borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

In May 2016, we issued $400.0 million of the 2026 Notes in a public offering. We used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the Exchange Transactions, the conversions and the 2026 Notes.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Convertible Notes due through a combination of our existing cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility, our use of these funds could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity.

Our senior credit agreement and the indentures under which we issued our 5.25% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and 2026 Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock or other disqualified stock; create liens; pay dividends, make investments or make other restricted payments; sell assets; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; or enter into transactions with our affiliates. Our senior credit agreement also requires us to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (generally, the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in our senior credit agreement) of not more than 4.0:1 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (generally, Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense, each as defined in the senior credit agreement) of not less than 3.50:1 as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters calculated in accordance with the definitions and methodology set forth in the senior credit agreement. As of September 25, 2016, we are in compliance with these covenants. The obligations under the senior credit agreement, the 2024 Notes and the 2026 Notes are guaranteed (subject to certain exceptions) by substantially all of our material domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations under the senior credit agreement are (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) secured by a pledge on substantially all of the equity interests owned by us and each guarantor.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards, including estimated effects, if any, on our financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability and product warranty, intellectual property, contracts, employment and environmental matters. As of September 25, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we have accrued liabilities of approximately $2.5 million in connection with these matters, representing our best estimate of the cost within the range of estimated possible loss that will be incurred to resolve these matters. Of the $2.5 million accrued at September 25, 2016 , $1.5 million pertains to discontinued operations. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See “Litigation” within Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
