What Drove the Period

On June 28, 2025, Fortive completed the tax-free spin-off of Ralliant Corporation — its Precision Technologies segment (test, measurement and sensing) — into an independent public company. Continuing Fortive now comprises two segments: Intelligent Operating Solutions and Advanced Healthcare Solutions. Accordingly, revenue, cost of sales, operating profit and net income above reflect continuing operations only, with Ralliant's results shown as a single discontinued-operations line and fiscal 2024 and 2023 recast on the same basis. Continuing-operations revenue was $4.16B in fiscal 2025 (up from $4.08B in 2024 and $3.91B in 2023), gross profit was $2.64B (63.5% gross margin), and net income from continuing operations was $532.7M. Total net income of $579.2M includes $46.5M from Ralliant through the separation date. The statement of cash flows is presented on a total-company basis, including discontinued operations through the June 2025 separation, and reconciles cash of $375.5M at year-end 2025.
