Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 26, 2026, Agilent Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued its press release announcing financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company provides non-GAAP financial information in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its operational performance and to enhance its investors’ overall understanding of its core current financial performance and its prospects for the future. The Company believes that its investors benefit from seeing its results “through the eyes” of management in addition to the GAAP presentation. Management measures segment and enterprise performance using measures such as those that are disclosed in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1. This information facilitates management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results. Non-GAAP financial information allows for greater transparency to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operations decision making. Historically, the Company has reported similar non-GAAP financial information to its investors and believes that the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in its financial reporting.
This non-GAAP financial information is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It excludes items, such as restructuring and amortization, that may have a material effect on the Company’s expenses and earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management monitors these items to ensure that expenses are in line with expectations and that the Company's GAAP results are correctly stated but does not use them to measure the ongoing operating performance of the Company. The non-GAAP financial information the Company provides may be different from the non-GAAP financial information provided by other companies.
Additional explanation of non-GAAP financial information is provided in Exhibit 99.1.

(1) Core or organic constant currency revenue growth excludes the impact of currency and acquisitions and divestitures within the past 12 months. Core or organic constant currency revenue is a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliations between GAAP revenue and core or organic constant currency revenue for third quarter 2026 are set forth on page 7 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure. Core or organic constant currency revenue growth rate as projected for fourth quarter 2026 and full fiscal year 2026 excludes the impact of currency and acquisitions and divestitures within the past 12 months. Most of the excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy and could differ materially. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided for the projection.
(2) Non-GAAP operating margin excludes the impacts of restructuring and other related costs, intangibles amortization, transformation initiatives and acquisition and integration costs. A reconciliation between non-GAAP operating margin and GAAP operating margin is set forth on page 5 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure. Non-GAAP operating margin as projected for full fiscal year 2026 excludes primarily the impacts of restructuring and other related costs, intangible amortization, transformation initiatives and acquisition and integration costs. Most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy and could differ materially. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided.
(3) Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the impacts of restructuring and other related costs, intangibles amortization, transformational initiatives, acquisition and integration costs and net (gain) loss on equity securities. Agilent also excludes any tax benefits or expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations, and which are either isolated or are not expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. A reconciliation between non-GAAP net income and GAAP net income and a reconciliation between non-GAAP EPS and GAAP EPS is set forth on page 4 of the attached tables along with additional information regarding the use of this non-GAAP measure.
(4) Non-GAAP EPS as projected for fourth quarter 2026 and full fiscal year 2026 exclude primarily the estimated impacts of non-cash intangibles amortization, transformational initiatives, and acquisition and integration costs. Agilent also excludes any tax benefits or expenses that are not directly related to ongoing operations, and which are either isolated or are not expected to occur again with any regularity or predictability. Most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy and could differ materially. Therefore, no reconciliation to GAAP amounts has been provided. Future amortization of intangibles is expected to be approximately $27 million per quarter.
(5) Core or organic constant currency revenue growth outlook is based on forecasted currency exchange rates.

For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026, management used a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 14.50%. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025, management used a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 12.00%.
(b) GAAP and Non-GAAP net income of $362 million and $459 million, respectively, includes a $17 million net benefit from tariff refunds. GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS of $1.28 and $1.62, respectively, includes a $0.06 net benefit from tariff refunds.
(c) GAAP and Non-GAAP net income of $1,006 million and $1,268 million, respectively, includes a $17 million net benefit from tariff refunds. GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS of $3.55 and $4.48, respectively, includes a $0.06 net benefit from tariff refunds.
We provide non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, charges related to restructuring and other related costs, asset impairments, amortization of intangibles, transformational initiatives, acquisition and integration costs, net (gain) loss on equity securities and pension settlement loss.
Restructuring and other related costs include incremental expenses incurred in the period associated with restructuring programs, usually aimed at changes in business and/or cost structure. Such costs may include one-time termination benefits including acceleration of stock-based compensation expense, facility-related costs and contract termination fees.
Asset impairments include assets that have been written down to their fair value.
Intangible amortization refers to the systematic expensing of the cost of finite‑lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Such assets, which include acquired patents, trademarks, customer lists, and other identifiable intangibles, are amortized to match the pattern in which their economic benefits are consumed. If the useful life is not reliably determinable, amortization is calculated on a straight‑line basis over the best estimate of that life.
Transformational initiatives include expenses associated with targeted cost reduction activities such as manufacturing transfers including costs to move manufacturing, site consolidations, legal entity and other business reorganizations, insourcing or outsourcing of activities. Such costs may include move and relocation costs, one-time termination benefits and other one-time reorganization costs. Included in this category are also expenses associated with company programs to transform our product lifecycle management (PLM) system and human resources and financial systems.
Acquisition and integration costs include all incremental expenses incurred to effect a business combination. Such acquisition costs may include advisory, legal, tax, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees. Such integration costs may include expenses directly related to integration of business and facility operations, the transfer of assets and intellectual property, information technology systems and infrastructure and other employee-related costs.
Net (gain) loss on equity securities relates to the realized and unrealized mark-to-market adjustments for our marketable and non-marketable equity securities.
Pension settlement loss resulted from the transfer of the Netherlands defined benefit plan to an unaffiliated insurance company.
Other includes certain legal costs and settlements, consulting costs, special compliance costs, acceleration of stock-based compensation expense and other miscellaneous adjustments.
Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to compensate employees. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors benefit from seeing our results “through the eyes” of management in addition to seeing our GAAP results. This information facilitates our management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.
Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangibles can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our 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 items 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 GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company’s performance.
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

(a) GAAP and non-GAAP income from operations of $444 million and $532 million, respectively, includes a $20 million net benefit from tariff refunds. GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin of 23.6% and 28.3%, respectively, includes a 110 basis points net benefit from tariff refunds.
We provide non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our prospects for the future. These supplemental measures exclude, among other things, charges related to restructuring and other related costs, amortization of intangibles, transformational initiatives and acquisition and integration costs.
Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangibles can have a material impact on our cash flows and/or our net income. Our GAAP financial statements including our 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 items 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 GAAP income statement. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the company’s performance.
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

We compare the year-over-year change in revenue excluding the effect of recent acquisitions and divestitures and foreign currency rate fluctuations to assess the performance of our underlying business.
(a) The constant currency year-over-year growth percentage is calculated by recalculating all periods in the comparison period at the foreign currency exchange rates used for accounting during the last month of the current quarter and then using those revised values to calculate the year-over-year percentage change.
(b) The dollar impact from the current quarter currency impact is equal to the total year-over-year dollar change less the constant currency year-over-year change.
The preliminary reconciliation of GAAP revenue adjusted for recent acquisitions and divestitures and impact of currency is estimated based on our current information.
