Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of Smiths Medical 2020 Limited


We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Smiths Medical 2020 Limited and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of 31 July 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated income statements, consolidated comprehensive income statements, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statements for the years then ended.

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smiths Medical 2020 Limited and its subsidiaries as of 31 July 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

General information

These Non-statutory financial statements have been prepared in relation to the sale of Smiths Medical 2020 Limited ("SM2020") and its subsidiaries (together, the “Smiths Medical Group”, “Smiths Medical” or the "Group”) by Smiths Group plc to ICU Medical Inc. (ICU Medical), that completed on January 6, 2022. The Non-statutory financial statements being presented comprises the assets and liabilities, income and expenses and cash flows of the Group for the years ended 31 July 2021 and 31 July 2020 and has been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation as set out below.

The Group has historically operated as part of the broader Smiths Group plc group. The Group has prepared these Non-statutory financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). These Non-statutory financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred if the business had been a separate standalone entity during the period presented or the future results of the Group as a standalone entity.

SM2020 was incorporated in England and Wales on 15 July 2019 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Smiths Group International Holdings Limited (“SGIH”). On 20 December 2019, SGIH transferred all of its interest in Smiths Medical Group Limited (“SMGL”) to SM2020. Prior to 20 December 2019, SMGL was the holding company of the Group. The insertion of SM2020 as a new holding company for the Group was a common control transaction and therefore outside the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. In substance, the financial information for the year ended 31 July 2020 represents a continuation of the pre-existing group headed by SMGL and the financial information for that year has been prepared applying the principles of a capital reorganization.

The balance sheet as at 31 July 2020 represents the legal change in ownership of the Group from SMGL to SM2020, including the share capital of SM2020. The balance sheet as 31 July 2021 reflects the share capital of SM2020.

The Group consists of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of SM2020 for the years ended 31 July 2021 and 31 July 2020 as set out in note 28.

These Non-statutory financial statements are presented in millions of United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise indicated.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The following significant accounting policies apply to the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole. The Non-statutory financial statements for the two years ended 31 July 2020 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation. The Non-statutory financial statements does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The basis of preparation describes how the Non-statutory financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Group and its subsidiary undertakings that have been controlled by the Group during the financial periods presented. Control exists when the Group: (i) has power over the investee; (ii) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement in the investee; and (iii) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. The consolidated financial information of the Group’s subsidiaries is included within the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases and is prepared for the same year end date using consistent accounting policies. A list of the subsidiaries of the Group is provided in note 28.

Going Concern

ICU Medical acquired the Group on 6 January, 2022. In doing so, the related party balances receivable by the Group of $1,527m from Smiths Group plc entities (see note 15) have been restructured and balances distributed / repaid to Smiths Group. The related party loan balances of the Group falling due in November 2022 of $1,124m (see note 15) have been settled and repaid to Smiths Group. These loans have since been replaced with intercompany loan agreements between ICU Medical and Smiths Medical ASD, Inc, in the amounts of $1,124m. ICU Medical has obtained financing with lending institutions to complete the transaction and to continue to fund the Group’s operations post completion.

The Group is dependent on being able to continue to secure financing and support from its parent entity. As the sale transaction has completed and acquisition financing is in place, ICU Medical has confirmed it intends to operate and support the business as a going concern for at least 12 months after approving these financial statements and has the financing and liquidity to be able to continue to support the Group’s operations.

Management has concluded that these circumstances, taken together, indicate the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event the Group can no longer continue as a going concern.

Foreign Currencies

The Parent Company’s functional currency is the Great British pound (GBP) and the Group's presentational currency is the United States dollar (USD). The financial position of all subsidiaries and associates that have a functional currency different from USD are translated into USD at the rate of exchange at the date of that balance sheet, and the income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is sold, the cumulative amount of such exchange differences is recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.
6
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Accounting Policies

Exchange differences arising on transactions are recognized in the income statement. Those arising on trading are taken to operating profit; those arising on borrowings are classified as finance income or cost.

GBP and EUR average exchange rates to USD used for FY2021 income statement translational purposes are 0.737 and 0.836, respectively. Closing exchange rates used for FY2021 balance sheet net assets translational purposes are 0.719 and 0.843, respectively. GBP and EUR average exchange rates used for FY2020 income statement translational purposes are 0.792 and 0.903, respectively. Closing exchange rates used for FY2020 balance sheet net assets translational purposes are 0.763 and 0.848, respectively.

Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of trade discounts (including distributor rebates) and sales taxes. When the Group enters into complex contracts with multiple, separately identifiable components, the terms of the contract are reviewed to determine whether the elements of the contract should be accounted for separately. If a contract is being split into multiple components, the contract revenue is allocated to the different components at the start of the contract. The basis of allocation depends on the substance of the contract. The Group considers relative stand-alone selling prices, contractual prices and relative cost when allocating revenue.

The Group has identified the following two types of revenue:

Sale of Goods – generic products manufactured by the Group

Generic products are defined as either:

Products that are not specific to any particular customer; or
Products that may initially be specific to a customer but can be reconfigured at minimal cost, i.e. retaining a margin, for sale to an alternative customer; or
Products that are specific to a customer but are manufactured at the Group’s risk, i.e. we have no right to payment of costs plus margin if the customer refuses to take control of the goods.

For established products with simple installation requirements, revenue is recognized when the control of the product is passed to the customer. The point in time that control passes is defined in accordance with the agreed shipping terms and is determined on a case-by-case basis. The time of dispatch or delivery of the goods to the customer is normally the point at which invoicing occurs. For some generic products which are technically innovative and highly configured, revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been completed, which is often after the customer has completed its acceptance procedures and has assumed control.

Products that are sold under multiple element arrangements, i.e. contracts involving a combination of products and services, are bundled into a single performance obligation unless the product is distinct and can be sold separately with an observable standalone selling price. For contracts that pass control of the product to the customer only on completion of installation services, revenue will be recognized upon completion of the installation.

An obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognized as a provision. If the contract includes terms that either extend the warranty beyond the standard term or implies that maintenance is provided to keep the product working, these are service warranties and revenue is deferred to cover the performance obligation in an amount equivalent to the standalone selling price of that service.

Service Revenue - services relating to the installation, repair and ongoing maintenance of equipment

Services include installation, commissioning, testing, training, software hosting and maintenance, product repairs and contracts undertaking extended warranty services. For complex installations where the supply of services cannot be separated from the supply of product, revenue is recognized upon acceptance of the combined performance obligation (see Sale of Goods above). For services that can be accounted for as a separate performance obligation, revenue is recognized over time, assessed based on the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

Depending on the nature of the contract, revenue will be recognized as follows:

Installation, training and testing services (when not linked to the supply of product and subject to acceptance) will be recognized ratably as the service is provided;
Software hosting and maintenance services will be recognized ratably over the life of the contract;
Product repair services, where the product is returned to the Group’s premises for remedial action, will be recognized when the product is returned to the customer and they regain control of the asset;
On-site ad hoc product repair services will be recognized ratably as the services are performed;
Long-term product repair and maintenance contracts will be recognized ratably over the contract term; and
Extended service warranties will be recognized ratably over the contract term.

Invoicing for services will depend on the nature of the service provided with some services charged in advance and others in arrears.

Contract Costs

The Group has taken and applies the practical expedient under IFRS 15 para 94 where an entity may recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.


7
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Accounting Policies
Allocation of costs from Smiths Group plc

The consolidated income statement includes all revenues and costs directly attributable to Smiths Medical as well as recharges of expenses from Smiths Group plc related to centralized facilities, technology functions, royalty fees and administrative services. Such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis such as cost plus benchmarking based on third party assessments and cost allocation mechanisms consistent with arm's length practices and compliance with regulatory requirements, but are not necessarily indicative that the costs were those that would have been incurred if the group had operated independently.

Taxation

The charge for taxation is based on profits for the year and takes into account taxation deferred because of temporary differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to taxation authorities. Tax benefits are not recognized unless it is likely that the tax positions are sustainable. Once considered to be likely, tax benefits are reviewed to assess whether a provision should be made based on prevailing circumstances. Tax provisions are included in current tax liabilities, including any anticipated interest and penalties. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted, or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liability method. A deferred tax asset is recognized where it is probable that future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the available relief. Tax is charged or credited to the income statement except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not discounted.

The tax effects on the Non-statutory financial statements have been presented based on the actual tax charge of the Group based on its structure as part of Smiths Group plc for the periods presented and are not necessarily representative of the tax charge that could apply in the future.

Employee Benefits

Share-Based Compensation

For the period covered by the financial statements, employees of the Group were members of share schemes operated by Smiths Group plc. Smiths Group plc accounted for these schemes as noted below.

The fair value of the shares or share options granted is recognized as an expense over the vesting period to reflect the value of the employee services received. The fair value of options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions, is calculated using established option pricing models, principally binomial models. The probability of meeting non-market vesting conditions, which include profitability targets, is used to estimate the number of share options which are likely to vest.

For cash-settled share-based payment, a liability is recognized based on the fair value of the payment earned by the balance sheet date. For equity-settled share-based payment, the corresponding credit is recognized directly in reserves.

Pension Obligations and Post-Retirement Benefits

The Group has defined benefit plans, defined contribution plans and post-retirement healthcare schemes. For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. Contributions are expensed as incurred.

Historically, the Group’s employees have also participated in defined benefit pension schemes where Smiths Group plc is responsible for settling the scheme. In accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits, the Group recognizes costs for each period of account equal to the contributions payable to Smiths Group plc in relation to defined benefit pension schemes but does not represent any assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. These costs relate to closed schemes, a legacy of previous employee pension arrangements, and are not reflective of the ongoing business performance.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.

Goodwill arising from acquisitions of subsidiaries after 1 August 1998 is included in intangible assets, tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill arising from acquisitions of subsidiaries before 1 August 1998 was set against reserves in the year of acquisition.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. Any impairment is recognized immediately in the income statement. Subsequent reversals of impairment losses for goodwill are not recognized.

Research and Development

Expenditure on research and development is charged to the income statement in the year in which it is incurred except for:
amounts recoverable from third parties; and
expenditure incurred in respect of the development of major new products where the outcome of those projects is assessed as being reasonably certain as regards viability and technical feasibility. Such expenditure is capitalized and amortized over the estimated period of sale for each product, commencing in the year that sales of the product are first made. Amortization is charged straight-line or based on the units produced, depending on the nature of the product and the availability of reliable estimates of production volumes.
8
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Accounting Policies

The cost of development projects which are expected to take a substantial period of time to complete includes attributable borrowing costs.

Intangible assets acquired in business combinations

The identifiable net assets acquired as a result of a business combination may include intangible assets other than goodwill. Any such intangible assets are amortized straight-line over their expected useful lives as follows:

Patents, licenses and trademarks
up to 20 years
Technology
up to 13 years
Customer relationships
up to 11 years

Software, patents and intellectual property

Software, patents and intellectual property intangible assets are amortized straight-line over their expected useful lives as follows:
Software
up to 7 years
Patents and intellectual property
shorter of the economic life and the period the right is legally enforceable

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset including subsequent additions and improvements when it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis from the point an asset becomes available for use. Depreciation is calculated to reduce the asset’s cost to its residual value over the asset’s estimated useful economic life. The assets’ residual values, depreciation methods and useful economic lives are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

Assets are depreciated as follows:

Asset Category
Useful Life
Land
not depreciated
Land improvements
20 years
Buildings and building improvements
20 to 50 years
Leasehold Improvements
greater of 5 years or remaining life of lease
Plant, machinery, etc.
4 to 10 years
Fixtures, fittings, tools, and other equipment
3 to 10 years

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds, less any selling expenses, and the carrying amount of the asset. This difference is recognized in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Assets under construction reflects the cost of construction or improvement of items of PP&E that are not yet available for use. Finance costs incurred in the construction of assets that take more than one year to complete are capitalized using the Group’s weighted average borrowing cost during the period in which the asset is under construction. Capitalization of finance costs ceases when the asset becomes available for use.

Impairment of Assets

The carrying values of PP&E and intangibles (including acquired intangibles, capitalized development costs, software and patents) are reviewed for indicators of impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the net present value of its expected pre-tax future cash flows (“value in use”). When an asset’s recoverable amount falls below its carrying value, an impairment is charged to the Consolidated Income Statement. In carrying out impairment reviews of intangible assets, several significant assumptions must be made when preparing cash-flow projections to determine the value in use of the cash-generating unit ("CGU"). These include growth and discount rate assumptions. See Note 10 for further discussion.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). The cost of items of inventory which take a substantial period of time to complete includes attributable borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less any appropriate provision for expected credit losses and rebates.

Provisions

Provisions for warranties and product liability, commercial disputes, litigation, reorganization and property liabilities are recognized when: the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Provisions are discounted where the time value of money is material.
9
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Accounting Policies

Where there are several similar obligations, for example where a warranty has been given, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The consolidated balance sheet includes assets and liabilities that are specifically attributable to the Group. The Group is part of cash pooling arrangements with Smiths Group plc whereby the Group’s balances are transferred to overnight central treasury accounts. This has resulted in cash balances subject to cash pooling being recognized in cash and cash equivalents and loan balances with Smiths Group recognized as related party borrowings. Amounts included in cash and cash equivalents related to balances held by the Group in cash pooling arrangements are $168m as of 31 July 2021 (FY2020: $176m).

Financial Assets

The classification of financial assets depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of an asset at initial recognition and re-evaluates the designation at each reporting date. Financial assets are classified as: measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit and loss.

Financial assets primarily include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents (comprising cash at bank, money market funds and short-term deposits), short-term investments, derivatives (foreign exchange contracts and interest rate derivatives) and unlisted investments.

Trade receivables are classified either as ‘held to collect’ and measured at amortized cost or as ‘held to collect and sell’ and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The Group may sell trade receivables due from certain customers before the due date. Any trade receivables from such customers that are not sold at the reporting date are classified as ‘held to collect and sell’.

Cash and cash equivalents (consisting of balances with banks and other financial institutions, money-market funds, short-term deposits) and short-term investments are subject to low market risk. Cash balances and short-term investments are measured at amortized cost. Money market funds and short-term deposits are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVPL). Short term deposits that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) and are held to maturity are classified at amortized cost.

Derivatives and unlisted investments are measured at FVPL. Financial assets are derecognized when the right to receive cash-flows from the assets has expired, or has been transferred, and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments previously taken to reserves are included in the income statement.

Notes receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed and determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Related party notes to Smiths Group plc are unsecured and repayable on demand.

Financial assets are classified as current if they are expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Financial Liabilities

Borrowings are initially recognized at the fair value of the proceeds, net of related transaction costs. These transaction costs, and any discount or premium on issue, are subsequently amortized under the effective interest rate method through the income statement as interest over the life of the loan and added to the liability disclosed in the balance sheet. Related accrued interest is included in the borrowings figure.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least one year after the balance sheet date.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposures to foreign exchange arising from its operating activities.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing any resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

Where derivative financial instruments are designated into hedging relationships, the Group formally documents the risk management objective and strategy for entering the hedge, the nature of the risks being hedged and the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument and if the change in cash-flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.

Changes in the fair value of any derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the income statement.

Cash-Flow Hedge

Cash-flow hedging is used by the Group to hedge certain exposures to variability in future cash-flows.

The effective portions of changes in the fair values of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash-flow hedges are recognized in equity. The gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement. Amounts accumulated in the hedge reserve are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged items will affect profit or loss.

When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income statement.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

10
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Accounting Policies
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are the amounts at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement’ requires fair value measurements to be classified according to the following hierarchy:

level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
level 2 – valuations in which all inputs are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
level 3 – valuations in which one or more inputs that are significant to the resulting value are not based on observable market data.

See note 18 for information on the methods the Group uses to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments.

Dividends

Dividends are paid to Smiths Group plc and recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared and approved by the applicable Corporate Officers of the Group.

Government Grants

In July 2020, the Group obtained a grant from the U.S. government to increase production capacity to meet anticipated demand related to virus vaccines.

Funds received from the grant will be held on the balance sheet in deferred income. The deferred income will be amortized to other income which is in Costs of Goods Sold and not in revenue as the related expenditure that the grant relates to is incurred. The expenditures relating to this will be capitalized at their full value in accordance to our fixed assets policy. In the Consolidated Cash-Flow Statement in Cash-flows from investing activities, the relevant expenditures will be reflected as normal for other capitalized fixed asset costs and cash in-flows will be reflected in their own line such as “Cash received from government grants”. For further discussion on the details of the grant, see note 26.

Significant Judgements and Estimates and Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the accounts in conformity with international financial reporting standards 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 accounts and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The key judgements, estimates and assumptions used in these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

Management does not believe that the estimates or judgements identified below (other than in respect of Intellifuse™, as discussed in Note 9 and Medfusion® FDA Audit, as discussed in Note 20 have a significant risk of material change in the next 12 months.

Receivables Provisions

Bad Debt Provision

If the carrying value of any receivable is higher than the recoverable amount, the Group makes provisions writing down the balance to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of receivables is considered individually for each customer and incorporates past experience and progress with collecting receivables.

The provision for the allowance for expected credit losses is calculated using historical write-offs as a base with a default risk multiplier applied to reflect country risk premium. The value assigned to the risk multiplier is a source of estimation uncertainty.

Inventory Provisions

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). The cost of items of inventory which take a substantial period of time to complete includes attributable borrowing costs. The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Provisions are made for any slow-moving, obsolete or defective inventories. See note 12 for a breakdown of inventory.

Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition

The Group does not enter into material contracts that are for agreed fees and are performed across more than one accounting period.

Rebate Provisions

The Group has a number of agreements with Group Purchasing Organizations and Individual Development Networks offering variable pricing arrangements on sales creating the need for rebates. These rebates are estimated based on current sales and an applicable erosion rate, based on historical rebate trends and adjusted for inventory maintained at distributor sites, to determine an appropriate rebate accrual. There has been no recent history of material revisions to this rebate accrual methodology. See note 14 for disclosures on rebate provisions.

Impairment Testing

Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and other assets, including capitalized development costs and intangible assets acquired in business combinations, are tested if there are any indications of impairment.

Impairment testing is undertaken at the lowest level for which internal performance is monitored. Judgement is required in assessing the appropriate CGU level for impairment testing of each intangible asset (as discussed further in Note 9).

Capitalization of Development Costs

Expenditure incurred in the development of major new products is capitalized as internally generated intangible assets only when strict criteria are met, specifically in relation to the products' technical feasibility and probable future economic benefits. The carrying value of intangible assets is amortized over their expected useful lives, commencing in the year that sales are first made.

Key judgements made in the assessment of future commercial viability include:

Scope of work to achieve regulatory clearance (where required) – including the level of testing evidence and documentation;
Competitor activity – including the impact of potential competitor product launches on the marketplace and customer demand; and
Launch timeline – including time and resource required to establish and support the commercial launch of a new product.

The assessment of the future viability and technical feasibility of development projects (in particular Intellifuse™) and the determination of the underlying products' useful economic life and amortization basis require significant judgement and the use of assumptions and estimates.

Medfusion® product range - US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ‘for-cause’ audit and field remediation costs

The Smiths Medical Group is unable to control the timing or character of further FDA responses and other regulatory communications, and there can be no assurance that the FDA will accept as adequate the Smiths Medical Group’s responses to the Form 483 observations, the Response, or any remediation actions that the Smiths Medical Group has or may continue to take in relation thereto.

Critical assumptions made in the assessment of the provision include:

developing proposed remediation strategy scenarios and their acceptability to the FDA;
scope of work to achieve regulatory clearance (where required) – including the level of testing evidence and documentation;

The provision amount is subject to a level of estimation uncertainty; the key estimates and related sensitivities are set out in Note 20.

New Standards and Interpretations Effective in the Period

The significant accounting policies adopted during the period covered by the Non-statutory financial statements are set out below.

Newly Adopted Accounting Policies – IFRS 16 – Leases

The Group adopted IFRS 16 – Leases with effect from 1 August 2019. The standard fundamentally changed the accounting treatment of leased assets, requiring that all material lease liabilities and corresponding ‘right of use’ assets are recognized on the balance sheet. The operating lease rental expense previously charged to operating profit in the income statement has been replaced by a depreciation charge for the ‘right of use’ assets recognized in operating profit and an interest charge on the lease liabilities recognized in finance costs.

The Group has adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective transition approach, which does not require the restatement of comparative figures. Adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in right of use assets totaling $52m being recognized together with lease liabilities of $53m and a net $2m decrease in net assets. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 3.19%. There is no material difference between the value of the lease liabilities adopted and the discounted lease commitments at 31 July 2019.

On transition the Group applied the following available practical expedients permitted by the standard:

the exclusion of leases relating to low-value assets (less than $5,000 when new);
the exclusion of short-term leases, being those with a lease term of 12 months or less; and
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.


12
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Accounting Policies
Newly Adopted Interpretations IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Group adopted IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments on 1 August 2019. This interpretation clarifies how to recognize and measure uncertainties over income tax treatments. The Group already provides for tax uncertainties and the net impact on the Group of implementing IFRIC 23 did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

New Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

The amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 are effective from 1 January 2021 and have not been early adopted in these Non-statutory financial statements.

IBOR Amendments

The Group's related party loans payable are referenced to USD LIBOR. On 6 January 2022, ICU Medical acquired the Group. In doing so, the related party receivable balances by the Group of $1,527m from Smiths Group plc entities (see note 15) have been restructured and balances distributed / repaid to Smiths Group plc. The related party loan balances of the Group falling due in November 2022 of $1,124m (see note 15) have been settled and repaid to Smiths Group plc. These loans have since been replaced with intercompany loan agreements between ICU Medical and Smiths Medical ASD, Inc, in the amounts of $1,124m, based on a fixed borrowing rate. The Group have concluded the impact of IBOR phase 2 does not currently have a significant impact on the Group.

4 TAXATION

This note only provides information about corporate income taxes under IFRS. The Group companies operate in over 50 countries across the world. They pay and collect many different taxes in addition to corporate income taxes including: payroll taxes; value added and sales taxes; property taxes; product-specific taxes and environmental taxes. The costs associated with these other taxes are included in profit before tax. The taxation expense in the consolidated income statement for the year comprises:

The head office of the Group is domiciled in the UK, so the tax expense has been reconciled to UK tax rates.

In the Spring Budget 2020, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2020 the corporation tax rate would remain at 19% (rather than reducing to 17%, as previously enacted). The Government made a number of budget announcements on 3 March 2021. These include confirming that the rate of corporation tax will increase to 25% from 1 April 2023. This new law was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. Deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have been measured using these enacted tax rates and reflected in these financial statements.

5 EMPLOYEE SHARE SCHEMES

During the periods ended 31 July 2021 and 31 July 2020, the employees of the Group were members of the Smiths Group plc’s share schemes. Smiths Group plc is responsible for settling these schemes. Included within staff costs is an expense arising from share-based payment transactions of FY2021: $1m and FY2020: $1m. The nature of the principal schemes and plans, including general conditions, are set out below:

Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)

The LTIP is a share plan under which an award over a capped number of shares will vest after the end of the three-year performance period if performance conditions are met. LTIP awards are made to selected senior executives, including the executive directors.

LTIP Performance Conditions

Each performance condition has a threshold below which no shares vest and a maximum performance target at or above which the award vests in full. For performance between ‘threshold’ and ‘maximum’, awards vest on a straight-line sliding scale. The performance conditions are assessed separately so performance on one condition does not affect the vesting of the other elements of the award. To the extent that the performance targets are not met over the three-year performance period, awards will lapse. There is no re-testing of the performance conditions.

The Group LTIP awards have performance conditions relating to underlying revenue growth, growth in underlying EPS adjusted to exclude tax, Return on Capital Employed (“ROCE”) and cash conversion.

Smiths Excellence Plan (SEP)

In September 2016 the Smiths Excellence Plan (SEP) was introduced. The SEP is designed to reinforce value creation over the medium term by focusing on specific objectives in key areas of operational performance. Awards vest after two years, depending on performance of the operational objectives during the first year and continued employment with the Group. There is no retesting of performance. However, the Remuneration Committee of Smiths Group plc has discretion to adjust vesting rates if material misstatements in reported performance are subsequently identified and awards are subject to clawback provisions in the event of misconduct. Directors are not eligible to participate in the SEP.

As of July 31, 2021 outstanding options are for key management only, and no future awards will be made under the SEP.

Save as You Earn (SAYE)

The Group operates a Save As You Earn (‘SAYE’) scheme for all employees under which employees are granted a future option to purchase ordinary shares in Smiths Group plc at up to 20% less than the market price at invitation. Options granted are linked to a savings contract with a vesting term of either three or five years. No performance criteria are applied to the exercise of SAYE options.

Related Party Transactions

The only related party transactions with employees in the years ended 31 July 2021 and 31 July 2020 were key management compensation.

7 POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Group provides post-retirement benefits to employees in several countries. This includes defined benefit and defined contribution plans and, mainly in the United Kingdom (UK) and United States of America (US).

Defined Contribution Plans

The Group operates a number of defined contribution plans across many countries. In the UK a defined contribution plan has been offered since the closure of the UK defined benefit pension plans. In the US a 401(k) defined contribution plan operates. The total expense recognized in the consolidated income statement in respect of all these plans was FY2021: $15m and FY2020: $15m.

Defined Benefit Plans

US Pension Plans

The Group participates in a Smiths Group plc group scheme in which it is responsible for the share of contributions made in each period but in which the Group is not a sponsoring employer. The scheme will remain with Smiths Group plc and will not be retained by the Group post demerger. In line with the accounting for a group pension scheme, the Group expenses the required contributions as paid. The contributions for the periods presented were FY2021: $2m and FY2020: $nil.

Japan Pension Plans

The Group operates a funded defined benefit pension scheme in Japan for employees. The net liability for the periods presented were FY2021: $nil and FY2020: $1m.

Other Unfunded Pension Plans

In several jurisdictions, the Group is required to provide statutory payments on retirement of employees. These are unfunded and the liability for the periods presented were FY2021: $6m and FY2020: $6m.

See the accounting policies for the treatment of the Group’s participation in certain Smiths Group Plc closed defined benefit pension schemes.

Intellifuse™ Program Intangible Assets

In April 2021, Smiths Medical invested in Ivenix, Inc., the owner of a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Large Volume Pump (LVP) and also entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for the Ivenix LVP. The investment and distribution agreement meant Smiths Medical prioritized the commercialization of the Ivenix LVP and the development of the Intellifuse™ LVP was put on hold. This change led to an impairment charge for the entire value of the Intellifuse™ LVP development cost of $66m reflected as impairment charges in the table above.

Keystone Program Intangible Assets

The Passive Valve Catheter ("Keystone") program was put on hold in September 2020 to prioritize other development programs and was expected to restart no later than 2022. Due to the delayed project timing, the Group searched for an alternative path and identified a strategic partner which would allow quicker entry to the market without a significant investment while achieving a similar product portfolio. As a result, the Keystone program was officially canceled in July 2021 leading to an impairment charge of $4m reflected as impairment charges in the table above.

9 IMPAIRMENT TESTING

Other Intangible Assets

The Group has no indefinite life intangible assets other than goodwill. During the year impairment tests are carried out for development projects which have not yet started to be amortized and acquired intangibles where there are indications of impairment. Value in use calculations were used to determine the recoverable values of these assets.

Intellifuse™ Impairment Testing

Smiths Medical's agreements with Ivenix Inc. triggered an impairment assessment for the Intellifuse™ program. The Intellifuse™ program has previously been considered a single CGU for impairment testing purposes. Following the change in circumstances for Intellifuse™ LVP, management reassessed the appropriateness of the CGU structure and concluded it is appropriate to assess the Intellifuse™ syringe pump and LVP products as separate CGUs.

The fair value model for the Intellifuse™ program had previously been supported by the cash-flows from commercializing the LVP ahead of the syringe pump revenue stream. Developments in the syringe pump market, together with the partnership with Ivenix Inc., have provided a stronger business case to prioritize the commercialization of the Intellifuse™ syringe pump. Revised impairment review cash-flow models were prepared to assess the Intellifuse™ syringe pump and LVP revenue streams as two separate CGUs.

Impairment Assessment Methodology

In light of the change in strategy, the Intellifuse project has been updated to focus on completion of the syringe pump development. The Intellifuse LVP development has been placed on hold but may be revisited depending on the success of Smiths Medical's agreement with Ivenix.

Management has separated the Intellifuse capitalized costs between the syringe pump and LVP assets, including an allocation of shared costs. A summary of the cost allocation of the capitalized development costs, tangible fixed assets, and inventory attributable to the Intellifuse program at 31 July 2021 is as follows:

Intellifuse™ LVP

As the Intellifuse™ LVP development has been placed on hold, the LVP impairment model assumes it is not probable the product will be commercialized and generate any positive cash-flows. Therefore management has impaired the entire value of the LVP, and an impairment charge of $75m has been recognized in the second half of the financial year to 31 July 2021, comprising $66m of capitalized development costs, $4m of specific inventory, and $5m of attributable fixed assets.

Intellifuse™ syringe pump

The syringe pump impairment model cash-flow forecast utilizes a 15-year model for North American revenues - with an 8 year asset life and a subsequent 7 year annuity for related software licenses. The result of this impairment testing is the estimated fair value of the Intellifuse™ syringe pump exceeded the carrying value by $16m. Therefore, no impairment charge has been determined for the Intellifuse™ syringe pump.

IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’ states the recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its ‘fair value less costs to sell’ (FVLCTS) and its ‘value in use’. Therefore, the impairment review for Intellifuse™ was completed using a discounted cash flow model. Since valuations of identical assets in active markets are not available, nor are market observations, the valuation is based on assumptions which a third party would use in estimating a fair value in an arm’s length sale process.

The discounted cash flows model utilized for impairment testing used the following key assumptions:

9% post-tax discount rate (pre-tax: 12.5%);
15.8% tax amortization benefit;
1% cost to sell;
an additional period of development to gain FDA clearance and prepare for commercial launch;
8-year sales forecast focused on North America only, being the expected primary market;
7-year annuity for Software Licenses in North America; and
manufacturing and operating expenses priced as if they were outsourced to a third party, based on the third quartile of data points in third party benchmarking studies.

If the assumptions used in the impairment review were changed to a greater extent than as presented in the following table, the changes would, in isolation, lead to an impairment loss being recognized for the year ended 31 July 2021:

Keystone Impairment Testing

Smiths Medical incurred costs as part of the Keystone program. The Keystone program was put on hold in September 2020 to prioritize other development programs and was expected to restart no later than 2022. Due to the delayed project timing, the Group searched for an alternative path and identified a strategic partner which would allow quicker entry to the market without a significant investment while achieving a similar product portfolio. As a result, the Keystone program was officially canceled in July 2021 leading to an impairment charge of $4m of capitalized development costs, and $3m of attributable fixed assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually or when there is an indication that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amounts
shown for goodwill are net of impairment of $nil at FY2021 ($nil at FY2020).

Recoverable amount is determined by value in use calculations for the cash-generating unit that goodwill is allocated to. The goodwill impairment assessment has been performed on an enterprise wide basis by grouping multiple CGUs, consistent with the management of the Group, due to the level of integration and structure within the organization. All functions for the Group are managed globally by a single Chief Operating Decision Maker, the Chief Executive Officer, and corporate leadership team. Management monitors and makes decisions considering the fully integrated Group.

Value in use is calculated as the net present value of the projected risk-adjusted cash-flows of the total grouping of CGUs. These forecast cash-flows are based on the latest budget, the five-year strategic plan approved by the Smiths Group plc Board of Directors (the “Board”) and detailed divisional strategic projections, where these have been prepared and approved by the Board.

Impairment Testing Assumptions

The Group has strong aftermarket and consumables businesses, with consistent sales trends. The key assumptions used in value in use calculations are:

Sales: projected sales are built up with reference to markets and product categories. They incorporate past performance, historical growth rates and projections of developments in key markets;

Margins: projected margins reflect historical performance and the impact of all completed projects to improve operational efficiency and leverage scale. The projections do not include the impact of future restructuring projects to which the Group is not yet committed;

Discount rate: the discount rates have been calculated on a pre-tax basis considering the Group’s weighted average cost of capital and risks specific to the total grouping of CGUs being tested. The discount rates disclosed incorporate risk adjustments where the projected sales and margins are affected by significant delivery risks.

The assumptions used in the impairment testing of the total grouping of CGUs with significant goodwill balances are as follows:
Year Ended 31 July
2021
2020
Net book value of goodwill ($m)
717

Basis of Valuation
Discount rate (pre-tax)
8.0
7.5
Period covered by management projections
5 years
5 years
Long-term growth rate
2.2
2.0

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis around the base case assumption which has indicated that no reasonable changes in key assumptions would cause the carrying amount of the total grouping of CGUs to exceed the recoverable amount.

In line with IAS 36 goodwill is tested for impairment annually or earlier if there are indicators of impairment present. The last annual assessment was performed for the year ended 31 July 2021.

Notes to the Accounts

Trade receivables do not carry interest. Management considers that the carrying value of trade and other receivables approximates to the fair value. The maximum credit exposure arising from these financial assets is $160m at 31 July 2021 (FY2020: $178m).

Trade receivables are disclosed net of rebates and provisions for bad and doubtful accounts. The provisions for bad and doubtful debts are based on specific risk assessment. Refer to Group accounting policy in the Accounting Policies section.

Smiths Medical has a number of agreements with Group Purchasing Organizations and Individual Development Networks offering variable pricing arrangements on sales creating the need for rebates to be paid. These rebates are estimated based on current sales and an applicable erosion rate, based on historical rebate trends and adjusted for inventory maintained at distributor sites, to determine an appropriate rebate accrual. There has been no recent history of material revisions to this rebate accrual methodology. The rebate accrual for the periods presented are FY2021:$42m and FY2020: $45m.

Contract assets comprise balances not yet due on contracts, where period revenue recognition does not align with the agreed payment schedules.

Credit risk is managed separately for each customer and, where appropriate, a credit limit is set for the customer based on previous experience of the customer and third-party credit ratings. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of customers. No single customer represented over 10% of Group revenue in the periods presented herein.

Netting

Cash and overdraft balances in interest compensation cash pooling systems are reported gross on the balance sheet. The cash pooling agreements incorporate a legally enforceable right of net settlement. However, as there is no intention to settle the balances net, these arrangements do not qualify for net presentation. For fiscal year 2021 the Group exited cash pooling agreements. The total value of overdrafts on accounts in interest compensation cash pooling systems was $nil for FY2020.

The Group has entered into the following borrowing and debt arrangements and related amendments during the years presented within the financial statements and subsequently through the date of the financial statements issuance. The financial statements do not reflect any activity subsequent to the year ending 31 July 2021. The debt arrangements having the largest impact are as follows:

(i)The Group entered into a loan with Smiths Group plc for a total principal of $1,124m on 25 July 2019. On 25 November 2019, the loan was amended to extend the maturity of the loan to 21 November 2020 and adjust the interest rate to 1-year USD LIBOR plus 0.2% margin per annum. On 18 November 2020, the loan was amended to extend the maturity of the loan to 20 November 2021 and adjust the interest rate to 1-year USD LIBOR plus 1.29% margin per annum. On 20 October 2021, the loan was amended to extend the maturity of the loan to 20 November 2022.

16 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

During the years presented within these financial statements, the Group operated as subsidiaries of Smiths Group plc. The policies presented below, with the exception of Transactional currency exposure, were performed by Smiths Group plc on behalf of the Group. While the policies were maintained by Smiths Group plc on behalf of the Group, we believe the policies accurately reflect our financial risk management positions, except as further described below.

Smiths Group plc’s international operations and debt financing expose it to financial risks which include the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, changes in debt market prices, interest rates, credit risks and liquidity risks. The management of operational credit risk is discussed in note 16(c).

Treasury Risk Management Policy

Foreign Exchange Risk

Transactional Currency Exposure

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risks arising from sales or purchases by businesses in currencies other than their functional currency. It is Group policy that, when the net foreign exchange exposure to known future sales and purchases is material, this exposure is hedged using forward foreign exchange contracts. The net exposure is calculated by adjusting the expected cash-flow for payments or receipts in the same currency linked to the sale or purchase. This policy minimizes the risk that the profits generated from the transaction will be affected by foreign exchange movements which occur after the price has been determined. Hedge accounting documentation and effectiveness testing are only undertaken if it is cost-effective.

Financial instruments included in trade and other receivables comprise trade receivables, accrued income and other receivables which qualify as financial instruments. Similarly, financial instruments included in trade and other payables comprise trade payables, accrued expenses and other payables that qualify as financial instruments.

Based on the assets and liabilities held at the period-end, if the specified currencies were to strengthen 10% while all other market rates remained constant, the change in the fair value of financial instruments would have the following effect:

Cash-flow Hedging

The Group uses foreign currency contracts to hedge future foreign currency sales and purchases. Contracts with a nominal value of FY2021 $336m and FY2020: $273m were designated as hedging instruments. The fair value of the contracts is disclosed in note 17.

The majority of hedged transactions will be recognized in the consolidated income statement in the same period that the cash flows are expected to occur, with the only differences arising because of normal commercial credit terms on sales and purchases. It is the Group’s policy to hedge 85% of ‘highly probable’ exposures for the current and upcoming fiscal year and 50% of ‘highly probable’ exposures for the next subsequent rolling 15 months.

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. The foreign exchange forward contracts have similar critical terms to the hedged items, such as the notional amounts and maturities. Therefore, there is an economic relationship and the hedge ratio is established as 1:1.

Notes to the Accounts
The main sources of hedge ineffectiveness are the risk of over-hedging where the hedge relationship requires re-balancing. No other sources of ineffectiveness emerged from these hedging relationships. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recognized immediately in the income statement in the period that it occurs. Of the foreign exchange contracts designated as hedging instruments, as of FY2021 87% of the notional amounts are for periods of 12 months or less (FY2020 87%).

The following table presents a reconciliation by risk category of the cash flow hedge reserve and analysis of other comprehensive income in relation to hedge accounting for continuing hedges:

During the year ended 31 July 2021, charges to finance cost within the income statement include an immaterial amount (FY2020: $nil) in relation to ineffectiveness of hedges.

Translational Currency Exposure

The Group has significant operations with a functional currency other than USD, particularly in the United Kingdom and Europe. As a result, the dollar value of the Group balance sheet can be significantly affected by movements in exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through it holding floating rate interest-bearing loans receivable and payable. Any changes to interest rate metrics would, therefore, impact the Group. All loans are held with related parties who are deemed such by virtue of them being part of Smiths Group plc. The Group does not hold other interest rate risk-generating instruments such as interest rate swaps.

During the Non-statutory financial statements period, the interest rate policy and risk has been managed for the entire Smiths Group plc centrally rather than separately for the Group. The Smiths Group plc policy pertaining to the management of external debt therefore is not deemed relevant for the Group.

The Group has exposure to sterling, US dollar and euro receivables and payables, which are subject to floating interest rates. The interest rates on floating rate related party notes receivable and related party borrowings are reset annually. If the average floating interest rates for all three currencies were to change by one percentage point (100 basis points), this would have a net impact of less than $4m (FY2020: $3m impact) on the Group’s profit before tax as at 31 July 2021.

The following table shows the interest rate risk exposure of investments, cash and borrowings; the other financial assets and liabilities do not earn or bear interest and for all financial instruments except for borrowings the carrying value is a reasonable approximation for their fair value.

Financial Credit Risk

The Group is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments but does not currently expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. Credit risk is mitigated by the Board-approved policy of only placing cash deposits with highly rated relationship bank counterparties within counterparty limits established by reference to their Standard & Poor’s long-term debt rating. In the normal course of business, the Group operates cash pooling systems, where a legal right of set-off applies.

The maximum credit risk exposure in the event of other parties failing to perform their obligations under financial assets, excluding trade and other receivables and derivatives, totals FY2021: $211m and FY2020: $181m.

Other financial assets

In April 2021 the Group invested in $19m of convertible debt in Ivenix Inc., the owner of an US Food and Drug Administration approved Large Volume Pump (LVP). The Group has also entered into an exclusive distribution agreement for the Ivenix LVP. After reviewing the commercial terms of the convertible debt and the distribution agreement it has been concluded that the investment in convertible notes should be accounted for as a Financial Asset at Fair Value through Profit or Loss.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price at which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Fair values have been determined with reference to available market information at the balance sheet date, using the methodologies described below:

A.Carrying value is assumed to be a reasonable approximation to fair value for all of these assets and liabilities (Cash and cash equivalents are level 1 and the other financial assets and liabilities are level 2 as defined by IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement).

B.Fair values of derivative financial assets and liabilities are estimated by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using prevailing interest rate curves. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are valued at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. These financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value, derived from observable market prices (Level 2 as defined by IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurement).

C.Notes receivable and borrowings are carried at amortized cost. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are valued at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting expected future contractual cash flows using prevailing interest rate curves. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are valued at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. (Level 2 as defined by IFRS 13).

D.Leases are carried at amortized cost. Amounts denominated in foreign currencies are valued at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The disclosure of the fair value of lease liabilities is not required under IFRS 7 paragraph 29.

IFRS 13 defines a three-level valuation hierarchy:

Level 1 – quoted prices for similar instruments

Level 2 – directly or indirectly observable market inputs other than Level 1 inputs

32
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Notes to the Accounts
Level 3 – inputs not based on observable market data

19 COMMITMENTS

At 31 July 2020, we adopted IFRS 16, see Note 11 for Right of Use Assets. At 31 July 2021, commitments, comprising bonds and guarantees arising in the normal course of business, amounted to $44m (FY2020 $49m).

Warranty Provision and Product Liability

On 17 August 2020, the Group initiated a voluntary recall notification for certain Medfusion® (models 3500 and 4000) syringe pump products. The specific concerns were focused on potential incorrect dose delivery when the device is used in an unexpected manner. The recall notification did not require product removal from the field if used in conjunction with an Operators Manual Insert that was sent with the recall notification.

In February 2021 the FDA commenced a for-cause audit inspection of Smiths Medical’s product development documentation as a result of an initial review into the Medfusion® product range of syringe pumps. At the conclusion of the inspection, in April 2021 the FDA issued a Form 483 (a form issued by the FDA to Smiths Medical management at the conclusion of an inspection when an investigator has observed any conditions that in their judgement may constitute violations of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and related acts). The Form 483 contained certain observations and discussion items, the majority of which related to an aged regulatory submission, design changes done through letters to the file and several field issues for certain Medfusion® products. The Group submitted an initial written response to the Form 483 to the FDA, in which the Group described the actions it had already completed, as well as a number of promised actions to address each of the observations and discussion items.

On 1 October 2021, the Group received a Warning Letter from the FDA (the “Warning Letter”). The Warning Letter details certain “significant violations” of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “Act”) and related regulations pertaining to the observations and discussion items raised in the Form 483. The Group provided a written response to the Warning Letter 22 October 2021, which contained additional commitments to holistically address the underlying concerns raised by the FDA, including by taking an approach that looks deeper and broader across the entirety of the Groups’ quality management system and product offerings.

As a result, the Group developed a provision, which represents the expected value of the cost to remediate pumps currently in use in the market ("Field Remediation Costs"). Management based the provision on it's current Medfusion® bolus dose delivery field remediation strategy using multiple probability weighted expected scenarios.

Management have exercised judgement as to the potential remediation scenarios that may occur and be agreed with the FDA, and have identified the following key estimates and assumptions:

Number of addressable Medfusion® pumps in market
Field upgrade and pump replacement costs per unit
The relative probability of scenarios identified

In FY2021, the Group recorded a provision of $44M, which represents the probability weighted estimate of the costs required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The Group expects to incur the costs over a 24-month period commencing at the initiation of the Medfusion® Field Service Corrective Action and considered the effects of discounting to not be material.
33
Smiths Medical FY21 Financials

Notes to the Accounts

The Group considered the risks and uncertainties regarding FDA approval of the Medfusion® bolus dose field remediation strategy and the uncertainty of the number of pumps active in the marketplace in determining its provision. The expected scenarios ranged between $27m - $64m.

The following table summarized the effect on the provision given changes in the provision model's assumptions and relative probability:
Increase in remediation provision resulting from:
10% Increase in cost to upgrade pumps
1
10% Increase in cost to replace pumps
2
10% Increase in the probability of the high end scenario

Commercial Disputes and Litigation in Respect of Ongoing Business Activities

The Group has on occasion been required to take legal action to protect its intellectual property and other rights against infringement. It has also had to defend itself against proceedings brought by other parties, including product liability claims. Provision is made for any expected costs and liabilities in relation to these proceedings where appropriate, though there can be no guarantee that such provisions (which may be subject to potentially material revision from time to time) will accurately predict the actual costs and liabilities that may be incurred.

Reorganization and Property

The amounts related to dilapidation provisions are FY2021: $3m and FY2020: $2m. For all periods, there were no provisions related to actual and potential environmental issues for sites which were no longer occupied by Group operations.

Contingent Liabilities

In the ordinary course of its business, the Group is subject to commercial disputes and litigation such as product liability claims, employee disputes and other kinds of lawsuits, and faces different types of legal issues in different jurisdictions. The high level of activity in the US, for example, exposes the Group to the likelihood of various types of litigation commonplace in that country, such as ‘mass tort’ and ‘class action’ litigation, legal challenges to the scope and validity of patents, and product liability claims. These types of proceedings (or the threat of them) are also used to create pressure to encourage negotiated settlement of disputes. Any claim brought against the Group (with or without merit) could be costly to defend. These matters are inherently difficult to quantify. In appropriate cases a provision is recognized based on best estimates and management judgement but there can be no guarantee that these provisions (which may be subject to potentially material revision from time to time) will result in an accurate prediction of the actual costs and liabilities that may be incurred. There are also contingent liabilities in respect of litigation for which no provisions are made.

The Group operates in some markets where the risk of unethical or corrupt behavior is material and has procedures, including an employee ‘Ethics Alert Line’, to help it identify potential issues. Such procedures will, from time to time, give rise to internal investigations, sometimes conducted with external support, to ensure that the Group properly understands risks and concerns and can take steps both to manage immediate issues and to improve its practices and procedures for the future. The Group also co-operates with relevant authorities in investigating business conduct issues whenever requested to. The Group is not aware of any issues which are expected to generate material financial exposures.

Medfusion® product range - US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ‘for-cause’ audit

The Smiths Medical Group has provided its written response to the Warning Letter on 22 October 2021, 30 November 2021 and 28 January 2022 (the “Responses”), which contained additional commitments to holistically address the underlying concerns raised by the FDA, including by taking an approach that looks deeper and broader across the entirety of the Smiths Medical Groups’ quality management system and product offerings. The Smiths Medical Group is aiming to complete the outstanding remediation actions to address the specific Form 483 and Warning Letter observations and discussion items by mid-2024. The Smiths Medical Group is committing significant resources, to address the FDA’s observations and to strengthen its quality systems. Management have recorded a provision of $44m as described above in respect of the field remediation of pumps currently in use in the market. Expenditure to remediate Smiths Medical Group’s quality management system and product offerings is accounted for as incurred. The extent of the required expenditure is uncertain and may change considering the FDA’s responses to Smiths Medical Group’s proposed and current remediation actions. Smiths Medical Group’s current views, based on its current plans and estimates, is that the remediation expenditure will be approximately $100 million in addition to the provision for Field Remediation Costs.

The Smiths Medical Group is unable to control the timing or character of further FDA responses and other regulatory communications, and there can be no assurance that the FDA will accept as adequate the Smiths Medical Group’s responses to the Form 483 observations, the Responses, or any remediation actions that the Smiths Medical Group has or may continue to take in relation thereto. While the Company is not currently aware of any pending or threatened action, including any potential fines or penalties, as a follow-up or pursuant to the foregoing, there can be no assurance that no such action will be taken in the future. If the FDA is not satisfied with the Smiths Medical Group’s remediation actions, the Smiths Medical Group could be subject to additional FDA actions, including but not limited to prohibiting the Smiths Medical Group from selling the affected Medfusion® products (which represented c.0.3 per cent. of the Smiths Medical Group revenues in the twelve months to 31 July 2021), prohibiting the Smiths Medical Group from selling other products and devices, limitations on the company’s ability to export its products, refusal to approve future medical devices, requiring the company to enter into a consent decree of permanent injunction, as well as other potential fines and penalties, until the FDA is satisfied that the Smiths Medical Group is operating in substantial compliance with the Act and associated regulations. Any of the above mentioned actions could have a significant effect on the Smiths Medical Group’s reputation, financial position, profitability and prospects.

Share Capital Structure

Through 19 December 2019, Smiths Medical Group Limited (SMGL) was the parent and sole owner of the Group, and Smiths Group International Holdings Limited (SGIH) in turn owned all of the issued share capital (416 shares of £1 each) of SMGL. On December 20, 2019, SGIH transferred all of its interest in SMGL to Smiths Medical 2020 Limited (SM2020), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGIH incorporated on 15 July 2019 with 1 share of issued capital, which now acts as the new holding company for the Group.

The total consideration for the shares transferred was satisfied by the allotment and issuance of 9,999,999 its ordinary shares of £1 each from SM2020 to SGIH. Therefore, as at July 31, 2020, the Group’s issued share capital was 10,000,000 Ordinary shares with a nominal value of 100p per share. As at 31 July 2019 the Group’s issued share capital was 225 (FY2018: 225) Ordinary A shares with a nominal value of 100p per share, 48 (FY2018: 48) Ordinary B shares with a nominal value of 100p per share and 143 (FY2018: 143) Ordinary C shares with a nominal value of 100p per share. All of the issued share capital was fully paid.

This transaction was a common control transaction which is outside of the scope of IFRS 3. SM2020 is a holding company and not a business and hence it is not appropriate to apply reverse acquisition principles. This has therefore been accounted for as a capital reorganization. Thus the full results and net assets of the existing group are shown as if the insertion of SM2020 had occurred at the start of the comparative year, and without any fair value uplift to the assets and liabilities on the basis that there is no substantive economic change. The equity effects of the capital reorganization are shown in FY 2020 as that is the period when SM2020 legally issued new shares. Hence, the $13m of share capital and $1,487m share premium represents the share capital and premium issued by SM2020 as consideration for SMGL in the year ended 31 July 2020 only. The CTA, Retained Earnings and Hedge Reserve represent those of the historical SMGL Group and any balance is included within the Group Reconstruction Reserve in the Non-statutory financial statements.

The GBP to USD exchange rate on the date of the transfer (December 20, 2019) was 1.3037 and therefore Share capital is presented as $13 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at 31 July 2021 and 2020.

FY2021 Bonus issue of shares and capital reduction

On 19 May 2021 the Directors approved a number of actions to effect a bonus issue of shares and a reduction in the capital of SM2020, the parent entity of the Group. The steps are set out below:

The Company undertook a bonus issue of 110 million £1 ordinary shares, with a total nominal value of £110m ($155m). This increased the share capital of SM2020 from £10m ($13m) to £120m ($168m);
The Directors, having considered the financial position of SM2020, and its ability to discharge its debts, approved a Solvency Statement pursuant to section 643 of the Companies Act 2006;
By way of special resolution, approved by the Directors, a Reduction of Capital was approved. This reduced the Share Capital of SM2020 from £120m ($168m) to £10m ($13m) and reduced the Share Premium from £1,141m ($1,487m USD) to £nil. The effect of this capital reduction was to increase distributable profits, in the profit and loss account in reserves, by £1,251m ($1,765m) and $123m reduction to the cumulative translation reserve.

22 DIVIDENDS

Smiths Medical has not declared and paid any dividends for all periods presented in these financial statements.

23 RESERVES

Capital Management

During the periods covered by the Non-statutory financial statements, Smiths Medical Group has been controlled by Smiths Group plc. The capital management objectives, policies and processes have been performed and assessed at the consolidated Smiths Group plc level rather than being managed within Smiths Medical.

Group Reconstruction Reserve

During the periods covered by the Non-statutory financial statements, the group reconstruction reserve arises from the application of group reconstruction relief when undertaking the capital reorganization. This provides partial relief from recording the share premium in a group reconstruction. Following The Companies Act 2006 requirements, SM2020 recorded a higher share premium than was recorded by the former parent with all the other equity reserves remaining the same. This reallocation of reserves results in a negative Group reconstruction reserve being recorded in equity on consolidation of the Group.

Hedge Reserve

During the periods covered by the Non-statutory financial statements, all hedge reserves for Smiths Medical Group are cash flow hedges which are shown accordingly on the balance sheet.

See transactional currency exposure risk management disclosures in note 16 for additional details of cash-flow hedges, and translational currency exposure risk management disclosure also in note 16 for additional details of net investment hedges.

24 ACQUISITIONS

In May 2020 Smiths Medical entered into an agreement to purchase a set of both tangible and intangible assets, that represents a business, of Access Scientific. The acquisition of Access Scientific, LLC extends Smiths Medical’s vascular access product portfolio.

Notes to the Accounts

Ivenix investment

In connection with the ICU Medical acquisition of the Group, a commercial decision was taken to exit the Group’s commercial agreement with Ivenix Inc. These circumstances have resulted in a change in strategy for the Group’s investment in Ivenix Inc. and has triggered an indicator of impairment to the carrying value of the Group’s investment in Ivenix Inc. As this change in circumstances indicates that the investment is not probable to receive the economic benefits, management has impaired the entire value of the Group’s Ivenix Inc. investment.
