Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. It is suggested that these statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Abbott’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions.


Note 2 — New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-04, Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which requires an entity to report information about its supplier finance program. Abbott adopted the standard on January 1, 2023. The new standard did not have an impact on Abbott's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note: The Acelis Connected Health business was internally transferred from Rapid Diagnostics to Heart Failure on January 1, 2023. As a result, $28 million of sales in the second quarter of 2022 and $57 million in the first six months of 2022 were moved from Rapid Diagnostics to Heart Failure.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2023, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) was approximately $4.2 billion in the Diagnostics segment and approximately $475 million in the Medical Devices segment. Abbott expects to recognize revenue on approximately 59 percent of these remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, approximately 17 percent over the subsequent 12 months and the remainder thereafter.

These performance obligations primarily reflect the future sale of reagents/consumables in contracts with minimum purchase obligations, extended warranty or service obligations related to previously sold equipment, and remote monitoring services related to previously implanted devices. Abbott has applied the practical expedient described in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606-10-50-14 and has not included remaining performance obligations related to contracts with original expected durations of one year or less in the amounts above.

Note 3 — Revenue (Continued)
Other Contract Assets and Liabilities

Abbott discloses Trade receivables separately in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the net amount expected to be collected. Contract assets primarily relate to Abbott’s conditional right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. Contract assets at the beginning and the end of the period, as well as the changes in the balance, were not significant.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. Abbott’s contract liabilities arise primarily in the Medical Devices reportable segment when payment is received upfront for various multi-period extended service arrangements.

Changes in the contract liabilities during the period are as follows:

Note 4 — Supplemental Financial Information

Shares of unvested restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are treated as participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities. Net earnings allocated to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1.370 billion and $2.009 billion, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2.682 billion and $4.447 billion, respectively.

Other, net in Net cash from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first six months of 2023 includes $290 million of pension contributions and the payment of cash taxes of approximately $837 million. The first six months of 2022 includes $348 million of pension contributions and the payment of cash taxes of approximately $657 million.

The following summarizes the activity for the first six months of 2023 related to the allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2023:

(in millions)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
Balance at December 31, 2022$262 
Provisions/charges to income16 
Amounts charged off and other deductions(12)
Balance at June 30, 2023$266 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the accounts receivable. Abbott considers various factors in establishing, monitoring, and adjusting its allowance for doubtful accounts, including the aging of the accounts and aging trends, the historical level of charge-offs, and specific exposures related to particular customers. Abbott also monitors other risk factors and forward-looking information, such as country risk, when determining credit limits for customers and establishing adequate allowances.

Long-term Investments:

Other225 208 
Total$799 $766 

The increase in Abbott’s long-term investments as of June 30, 2023 versus the balance as of December 31, 2022 is primarily due to investments acquired as part of a business acquisition and other additional investments, partially offset by the impact of equity method investment losses.

Abbott’s equity securities as of June 30, 2023 include $305 million of investments in mutual funds that are held in a rabbi trust and were acquired as part of the St. Jude Medical, Inc. business acquisition. These investments, which are specifically designated as available for the purpose of paying benefits under a deferred compensation plan, are not available for general corporate purposes and are subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency.

Abbott also holds certain investments as of June 30, 2023 with a carrying value of $164 million that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and other equity investments with a carrying value of approximately $95 million that do not have a readily determinable fair value.

Note 6 — Business Acquisition

On April 27, 2023, Abbott completed the acquisition of Cardiovascular Systems, Inc (CSI) for $20 per common share, which equated to a purchase price of $851 million. The transaction was funded with cash on hand and accounted for as a business combination. CSI's atherectomy system, which is used in treating peripheral and coronary artery disease, adds complimentary technologies to Abbott's portfolio of vascular device offerings.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the acquisition resulted in the recording of a non-deductible developed technology intangible asset of $290 million; non-deductible in-process research and development of $60 million, which will be accounted for as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until regulatory approval or discontinuation; non-deductible goodwill of approximately $340 million; net deferred tax assets of approximately $18 million and other net assets of approximately $143 million. The goodwill is identifiable to the Medical Devices reportable segment and is attributable to expected synergies from combining operations, as well as intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Allocation of the purchase price of the acquisition will be finalized when the valuation of assets and liabilities is completed. Revenues and earnings of CSI included in Abbott's consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date are not material to Abbott's consolidated revenue and earnings. If the acquisition of CSI had taken place as of the beginning of 2022, consolidated net sales and earnings would not have been significantly different from reported amounts.

Note 7 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The total amount of goodwill reported was $23.3 billion at June 30, 2023 and $22.8 billion at December 31, 2022. The acquisition of CSI increased goodwill by approximately $340 million and foreign currency translation adjustments increased goodwill by approximately $120 million in the first six months of 2023. The amount of goodwill related to reportable segments at June 30, 2023 was $2.7 billion for the Established Pharmaceutical Products segment, $286 million for the Nutritional Products segment, $3.5 billion for the Diagnostic Products segment, and $16.7 billion for the Medical Devices segment. There was no reduction of goodwill relating to impairments in the first six months of 2023.

Note 7 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets (continued)
The gross amount of amortizable intangible assets, primarily product rights and technology, was $27.7 billion and $27.2 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The gross amount of amortizable intangible assets increased by $290 million due to the CSI acquisition. Accumulated amortization was $18.7 billion and $17.6 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Foreign currency translation adjustments increased intangible assets by $47 million in the first six months of 2023. Abbott’s estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $2.0 billion in 2023, $1.9 billion in 2024, $1.7 billion in 2025, $1.6 billion in 2026 and $1.3 billion in 2027.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, which relate to in-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired in a business combination, were approximately $822 million as of June 30, 2023 and $807 million as of December 31, 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, the acquisition of CSI increased IPR&D by $60 million. This increase was partially offset by $45 million of charges recorded on the Research and development line of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the Medical Devices reportable segment.

Note 8 — Restructuring Plans

In 2022 and 2023, Abbott management approved various plans to streamline operations in order to reduce costs and improve efficiencies in its medical devices, nutritional, diagnostic, and established pharmaceutical businesses. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, Abbott recorded employee related severance and other charges of approximately $49 million, of which approximately $17 million was recorded in Cost of products sold, approximately $5 million was recorded in Research and development, and approximately $27 million was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, Abbott recognized fixed asset impairment charges of approximately $17 million related to these restructuring plans.

The following summarizes the activity related to these restructuring actions and the status of the related accruals as of June 30, 2023:

(in millions)Total
Accrued balance at December 31, 2022$228

On March 15, 2022, Abbott repaid the $750 million outstanding principal amount of its 2.55% Notes upon maturity.

Note 11 — Financial Instruments, Derivatives and Fair Value Measures

Certain Abbott foreign subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates primarily for anticipated intercompany purchases by those subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. These contracts, with gross notional amounts totaling $7.1 billion at June 30, 2023 and $7.7 billion at December 31, 2022, are designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of the cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates and are recorded at fair value. Accumulated gains and losses as of June 30, 2023 will be included in Cost of products sold at the time the products are sold, generally through the next twelve to eighteen months.

Abbott enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to manage currency exposures for foreign currency denominated third-party trade payables and receivables, and for intercompany loans and trade accounts payable where the receivable or payable is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity. For intercompany loans, the contracts require Abbott to sell or buy foreign currencies, primarily European currencies, in exchange for primarily U.S. dollars and other European currencies. For intercompany and trade payables and receivables, the currency exposures are primarily the U.S. dollar and European currencies. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Abbott held the gross notional amounts of $12.3 billion and $12.0 billion, respectively, of such foreign currency forward exchange contracts.

Abbott has designated a yen-denominated, 5-year term loan of approximately $413 million and $446 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, as a hedge of the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The change in the value of the debt, which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates, is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Abbott is a party to interest rate hedge contracts with a notional amount totaling approximately $2.9 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt. These contracts are designated as fair value hedges of the variability of the fair value of fixed-rate debt due to changes in the long-term benchmark interest rates. The effect of the hedge is to change a fixed-rate interest obligation to a variable rate for that portion of the debt. Abbott records the contracts at fair value and adjusts the carrying amount of the fixed-rate debt by an offsetting amount.
