Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

    The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

    On July 29, 2021 Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (“Mettler-Toledo”) issued a press release (the “Release”) setting forth its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. A copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth.

Adjusted Earnings per Share

    Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share excluding certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is diluted earnings per common share.

    Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax, which management believes are not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.

    Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material limitations as follows:

    It does not include certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. Because non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges are components of diluted earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges, has material limitations.

2

Adjusted Operating Profit

    Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Profit as gross profit less research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before taxes.

    Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is important supplemental information for investors. Adjusted Operating Profit is used internally as the principal profit measurement by its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to the segments.

    On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Profit is an important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is an important performance measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges related to intangible assets.

    Adjusted Operating Profit is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Profit is not intended to represent operating income under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit, has certain material limitations as follows:

• It excludes amortization expense. Because this item is recurring, any measure that excludes amortization expense has material limitations.

• It does not include interest expense. Because Mettler-Toledo has borrowed money to finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted Mettler-Toledo in generating revenue. Therefore any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.

• It excludes restructuring charges. Because restructuring charges are a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes restructuring charges, has material limitations.

• It excludes other charges (income), net. Because other charges (income), net is a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes other charges (income), net, has material limitations.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, less capital expenditures, and before restructuring, acquisition cost payments, and tax reform payments. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities

3

    Mettler-Toledo believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors. It is used internally by senior management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of providing guidance on possible future cash flows.

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities recorded under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, has certain material limitations as follows:

• It includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment, which are not considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. It excludes the portion of purchases of property, plant and equipment relating to government contract. Therefore any measure that includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the portion of purchases of property, plant and equipment relating to government contracts.

• It excludes restructuring, acquisition payments, and tax reform payments which are considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that excludes these items has material limitations.

Local Currency Sales Growth

    Mettler-Toledo defines Local Currency Sales Growth as sales growth excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is U.S. dollar sales growth.

    Mettler-Toledo believes that Local Currency Sales Growth is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo believes local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods.

    Local Currency Sales Growth is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Local Currency Sales Growth is not intended to represent U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. dollar sales growth as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth, has certain material limitations as follows:

    It does not include the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. Because the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is a component of sales growth under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, has material limitations.

    Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures, but reflect additional measures of comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo’s operations that, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net

4

earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

    Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

    The Release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures recorded under U.S. GAAP. The Release also presents Local Currency Sales Growth in conjunction with its most comparable financial measure recorded under U.S. GAAP.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, USA – July 28, 2022 – Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (NYSE: MTD) today announced second quarter results for 2022. Provided below are the highlights:

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to EPS is included on the last page of the attached schedules.

Second Quarter Results

Patrick Kaltenbach, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We reported strong second quarter results as our team executed very well on our growth strategies and successfully navigated global supply chain challenges. Sales growth in our Laboratory and Core Industrial businesses was robust. We are particularly pleased with our very good growth in China. Excellent sales growth combined with good margin improvement drove very strong growth in EPS despite adverse foreign currency.”

GAAP Results

EPS in the quarter was $9.29, compared with the prior-year amount of $7.85.

Compared with the prior year, total reported sales increased 6% to $978.4 million. By region, reported sales increased 11% in the Americas, decreased 7% in Europe and increased 10% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $256.7 million, compared with $230.4 million in the prior year.

By region, local currency sales increased 12% in the Americas, 4% in Europe and 14% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $285.4 million, a 12% increase from the prior-year amount of $255.3 million.

By region, local currency sales increased 14% in the Americas, 7% in Europe and 15% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $526.7 million, a 13% increase from the prior-year amount of $465.9 million.

Outlook

The Company stated that forecasting continues to be challenging. Management cautions that market conditions are dynamic and changes to the business environment can happen quickly. There is uncertainty in the economic environment today including challenges in the global supply chain, inflationary pressures, unfavorable foreign currency, and the potential impacts of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine. The estimates include uncertainty and management acknowledges that market conditions are subject to change.

The Company said that based on its assessment of market conditions today, management anticipates local

currency sales growth in 2022 will be between 9% and 10%. This sales growth is expected to result in Adjusted EPS in the range of $38.85 to $39.05, which represents a growth rate of 14% to 15%. This compares with previous local currency sales guidance of approximately 8% and Adjusted EPS guidance of $38.20 to $38.50. Management notes that current foreign exchange rates represent a greater headwind to Adjusted EPS in the second half of 2022 compared with previous guidance.

Based on today's assessment of market conditions, management anticipates local currency sales growth for the third quarter of 2022 will be approximately 8%, and Adjusted EPS is forecasted to be $9.75 to $9.85, a growth rate of 12% to 13%. Included in the third quarter guidance is an estimated 6% headwind to Adjusted EPS growth due to adverse currency.

While the Company has provided an outlook for local currency sales growth and Adjusted EPS, it has not provided an outlook for reported sales growth or EPS as it would require an estimate of currency exchange fluctuations and non-recurring items, which are not yet known.

Conclusion

Kaltenbach concluded, “Our culture of agility and focused execution have allowed us to capitalize on favorable market demand and navigate challenging supply chain and inflationary conditions. We will continue to leverage our best-in-class Spinnaker sales and marketing initiatives and excellent product portfolio to identify and target profitable growth opportunities. Our sales growth combined with our margin initiatives will continue to drive margin expansion and robust earnings growth in 2022 and beyond.”
