NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 our financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its segment reporting from a single reportable segment to four reportable segments, three of which are geographically based. As initially changed, the three geographic segments were North America, EMEA (representing the Company’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and AJLA (representing Asian and Latin America operations). The Company’s fourth reportable segment is comprised of the Company’s Original Equipment Manufacturer and Development Services (“OEM”) businesses. In addition, in the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed the number of its reporting units. In 2011, the Company had six reporting units comprised of North America, EMEA, OEM and three reporting units in the AJLA segment. In 2012, the Company changed its North America reporting unit structure from a single reporting unit to five reporting units comprised of Vascular, Anesthesia/Respiratory, Cardiac, Surgical and Specialty. As a result of the change in the North America reporting unit structure, the Company was required to conduct a goodwill impairment test of each of the North American reporting units and determined that the goodwill of three of the reporting units was impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $332 million in the first quarter of 2012. See Note 5 for a discussion of the goodwill impairment. During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. The change did not affect the Company’s reporting unit structure. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 14 for a discussion of the Company’s segments.

As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Teleflex” and the “Company” mean Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Note 2 — New accounting standards

The Company adopted the following new accounting standards as of January 1, 2012, the first day of its 2012 fiscal year:

Amendment to Fair Value Measurement: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements so that the requirements under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) are the same. The guidance clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and requires enhanced disclosures, most significantly related to unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance became effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Amendment to Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB amended guidance relating to the presentation of comprehensive income within an entity’s financial statements. Under the guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amended guidance eliminates the previously available option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity. In addition, an entity is required to present adjustments on the face of the financial statements for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendment became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied retrospectively, with the exception of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements, which has been deferred pending further deliberation by the FASB.

The Company will adopt the following new accounting standard as of January 1, 2013, the first day of its 2013 fiscal year:

Amendment to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This updated guidance will permit companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

The Company made the following acquisitions during 2012, all of which were accounted for as business combinations:

• On June 22, 2012, the Company acquired Hotspur Technologies, a developer of catheter-based technologies designed to restore blood flow in patients with obstructed vessels. The acquisition of this business complements the dialysis access product line in the Company’s Cardiac Care division. The Company paid $15.0 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

• On May 22, 2012, the Company acquired Semprus BioSciences, a biomedical company that developed a long-lasting, covalently bonded, non-leaching polymer designed to reduce infections and thrombus related complications. While the Company will explore opportunities to apply this technology to a broad array of its product offerings, the initial focus for the technology will be with respect to vascular devices within the Company’s Critical Care division. The Company paid $30.0 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

• On May 3, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Axiom Technology Partners, LLC, constituting its EFx laparoscopic fascial closure system, which is designed for the closure of abdominal trocar defects through which access ports and instruments were used during laparoscopic surgeries. The acquisition of this business complements the surgical closure product line in the Company’s Surgical Care division. The Company paid $7.5 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

• On April 5, 2012, the Company acquired the EZ-Blocker product line, a single-use catheter used to perform lung isolation and one-lung ventilation. The acquisition of this product line complements the Anesthesia product portfolio in the Company’s Critical Care division. The Company paid $3.3 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration based on the achievement of specified objectives, including regulatory approvals and sales targets. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay for contingent consideration arrangements is between $2.0 million to $90.0 million.

The total fair value of consideration for the acquisitions is estimated at $111.6 million, which includes the initial payments of $55.8 million in cash and the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration to be paid to the sellers of $55.8 million. The fair value of each component of contingent consideration was estimated based on the probability of achieving the specified objective using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in connection with the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9, “Fair value measurements”). Any future change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income for the period in which the estimated fair value changes. A change in fair value of the contingent consideration could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position for the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Transaction expenses associated with the acquisitions, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company has recorded an aggregate operating loss of approximately $4.5 million and $6.1 million resulting from the acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The results of operations of the acquired businesses and assets are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from their respective acquisition date. Pro forma information is not presented as the operations of the acquired businesses are not significant compared to the overall operations of the Company.

The following table presents the purchase price allocation among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30 2012:

	(Dollars in millions)
Assets
Current assets	$	4.1
Property, plant and equipment		1.3
Intangible assets:
Intellectual property		46.9
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”)		45.5
Goodwill		29.0
Total assets acquired		126.8
Less:
Current liabilities		4.8
Deferred tax liabilities		10.4
Liabilities assumed		15.2
Net assets acquired	$	111.6

During the third quarter the Company refined the purchase price allocation, principally with respect to contingent consideration, due to changes in probabilities of achieving specified objectives and changes in discount rates. These changes also impacted the fair values of the acquired intangibles and deferred taxes. The Company is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation as of the respective acquisition dates. Further adjustments may be necessary as additional information related to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is assessed.

Certain assets acquired in the acquisitions qualify for recognition as intangible assets, apart from goodwill, in accordance with FASB guidance related to business combinations. The estimated fair values of intangible assets acquired include intellectual property of $46.9 million and IPR&D of $45.5 million. Intellectual property has useful lives ranging from 15 to 20 years, and IPR&D has an indefinite life and is not amortized until completion and development of the related project, at which time the IPR&D becomes an amortizable asset. If the related project is not completed in a timely manner, the Company may incur an impairment charge related to the IPR&D, calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. The goodwill resulting from the acquisitions primarily reflects the expected revenue growth attributable to anticipated increased market penetration from future products and customers. Goodwill and the step-up in basis of the intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions are not deductible for tax purposes.

2012 Restructuring Charges

The Company regularly evaluates opportunities to consolidate facilities, lower costs and optimize operating efficiencies. As a result the Company has identified an opportunity to improve its supply chain strategy by consolidating its three North American warehouses into one centralized warehouse. This project will entail termination benefits related to a reduction in force, contract termination costs related to a lease, and facility closure costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million for this project. The Company expects to complete the project over a one year period and anticipates incurring additional charges of $1.6 million related to this initiative. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $2.0 million, primarily related to the warehouse consolidation as noted above and charges related to the termination of certain distributor agreements in Europe.

2011 Restructuring Program

During 2011, the Company initiated a restructuring program at three facilities to consolidate operations and reduce costs. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company reversed $0.1 million of restructuring reserves that were determined to be no longer required. The Company expects to incur additional contract termination costs of approximately $2.7 million when it has completely exited a leased facility. All of the employee termination benefits will be paid in 2012. The payment of the lease contract termination costs will continue until 2015.

2007 Arrow Integration Program

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Arrow International, Inc. (“Arrow”), the Company implemented a program in 2007 to integrate Arrow’s businesses into the Company’s other businesses. The aspects of this program that affect Teleflex employees and facilities (such aspects being referred to as the “2007 Arrow integration program”) are charged to earnings and classified as restructuring and impairment charges. The following table provides information relating to the charges associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program that were included in restructuring and other impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented:

The reduction in the accrual for contract termination costs relates to a revised estimate for the settlement of a dispute involving the termination of a European distributor agreement that was established in connection with the acquisition of Arrow in 2007.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company expects future restructuring expenses associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program, if any, to be nominal.

Impairment Charges

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.1 million related to the decline in value of its investments in affiliates that are considered to be other than temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered multiple factors, including its intent and ability to hold investments, operating losses of investees that demonstrate an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments, the investee’s liquidity and cash position and level of market acceptance of the investee’s products and services.

Note 5 — Impairment of goodwill

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its North America reporting unit structure from a single reporting unit to five reporting units comprised of Vascular, Anesthesia/Respiratory, Cardiac, Surgical and Specialty. The Company allocated the assets and liabilities of the North America Segment among the new reporting units based on their respective operating activities, and then allocated goodwill among the reporting units using a relative fair value approach, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined based on a weighted combination of (i) estimation of the discounted cash flows of each of the reporting units based on projected earnings in the future (the income approach) and (ii) analysis of sales of similar assets in actual transactions (the market approach).

Following this allocation, the Company performed goodwill impairment tests on these new reporting units in the first quarter of 2012. As a result of these tests, the Company determined that three of the reporting units in the North America Segment were impaired, and it recorded goodwill impairment charges of $220 million in the Vascular reporting unit, $107 million in the Anesthesia/Respiratory reporting unit and $5 million in the Cardiac reporting unit in the first quarter of 2012.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its reporting structure to four reportable segments, three of which are geographically-based and one of which is comprised of the Company’s OEM business. During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 14, “Business segment information” for additional information on the Company’s new reporting structure.

Note 8 — Financial instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments for risk management purposes. Forward rate contracts are used to manage foreign currency transaction exposure. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value. The effective portion of the gains or losses on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. See Note 9, “Fair value measurement” for additional information.

There was no ineffectiveness related to the Company’s derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts for Singapore dollars and US dollars in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA International N.V. (“LMA”). In accordance with FASB guidance, a forecasted transaction is not eligible for hedge accounting if the forecasted transaction involves a business combination. Therefore, gains and losses relating to this arrangement were recognized as incurred. The Company realized a pre-tax loss of $7.6 million upon settlement of the forward exchange contracts. See Note 17, “Subsequent event” for additional information on the LMA acquisition.

In 2011, the Company terminated its interest rate swap covering a notional amount of $350 million designated as a hedge against the variability of the cash flows in the interest payments under the Company’s term loan. As of September 30, 2012, all unrealized losses within AOCI associated with this interest rate swap has been reclassified into earnings.

Based on exchange rates at September 30, 2012, approximately $0.2 million of unrealized losses, net of tax, within AOCI are expected to be reclassified from AOCI during the next twelve months. However, the actual amount reclassified from AOCI could vary due to future changes in exchange rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the Company’s large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. A portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable outside the United States, however, include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries’ national economies. Deteriorating credit and economic conditions in parts of Europe, particularly in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, may continue to increase the average length of time it takes the Company to collect its account receivable in certain regions within these countries.

The Company evaluates all receivables for potential collection risks. If the financial condition of customers or the countries’ healthcare systems continue to deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, the Company may be required to increase its allowance for doubtful accounts in future periods.

The Company’s aggregate accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal as a percent of the Company’s total accounts receivable at the end of the period are as follows:

	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
	(Dollars in thousands)
Accounts receivable, net in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal		102,664			108,545

For the nine months ending September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, net revenues to customers in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal were $101.4 million and $108.0 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company collected approximately $17.5 million from the Spanish government related to past due receivables. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company collected approximately $6.5 million from the Italian government related to past due receivables.

The carrying amount of long-term debt reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is $962.6 million. The Company uses a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality, and risk profile to determine the fair value of its debt. The Company’s implied credit rating is a factor in determining the market interest yield curve. The following table provides the fair value of the Company’s debt by fair value hierarchy level as of September 30, 2012:

	Fair value of debt
	(Dollars in thousands)
Level 1	$	773,404
Level 2		381,678
Total	$	1,155,082

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $332 million based on Level 3 inputs. See Note 5 for a discussion of the goodwill impairment.

Valuation Techniques

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities held in trust, which are available to pay benefits under certain deferred compensation plans and other compensatory arrangements. The investment assets of the trust are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts and, at September 25, 2011, an interest rate swap contract. The Company uses

TELEFLEX INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

forward rate contracts to manage currency transaction exposure and used interest rate swap to manage exposure to interest rate changes. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was developed from market-based inputs under the income approach using cash flows discounted at relevant market interest rates. The Company has taken into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties in measuring fair value. The decrease in the Company’s derivative liabilities in 2012 is due to the termination of its interest rate swap agreement. See Note 8, “Financial instruments” for additional information.

The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs are comprised of contingent consideration arrangements pertaining to the Company’s acquisitions. The Company accounts for contingent consideration in accordance with applicable guidance provided within the business combination rules. The Company is contractually obligated to pay certain contingent consideration upon the achievement of specified objectives, including regulatory approvals, sales targets and, in some instances, the passage of time, referred to as milestone payments, and therefore recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the time of the acquisitions. As a result, the Company is required to update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value until such consideration is satisfied through payment upon the achievement of the specified objectives or failure to achieve the specified objectives.

It is estimated that the payments of the various milestones may occur as early as 2012 and extend as far as 2018 or later. As of September 30, 2012, the range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay for contingent consideration arrangements is between $7.0 million and $107.0 million. The Company has determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future milestone payments was based on several factors including:

• estimated cash flows projected from the success of market launches;

• the estimated time and resources needed to complete the development of the acquired technologies;

• the uncertainty of obtaining regulatory approvals within the required time periods; and

• the risk adjusted discount rate for fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2012, of the $58.9 million of total contingent consideration, the Company has recorded approximately $21.6 million in current contingent consideration and the remaining $37.3 million in other liabilities.

Note 10 — Changes in shareholders’ equity

In 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of outstanding Company common stock. Repurchases of Company stock under the Board authorization may be made from time to time in the open market and may include privately-negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant and subject to regulatory considerations. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and the Company’s ability to execute on the program will depend on, among other factors, cash requirements for acquisitions, cash generated from operations, debt repayment obligations, market conditions and regulatory requirements. In addition, under the Company’s senior credit agreements, the Company is subject to certain restrictions relating to its ability to repurchase shares in the event the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (generally, the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit agreements) exceeds certain levels, which may limit the Company’s ability to repurchase shares under this Board authorization. Through September 30, 2012, no shares have been purchased under this Board authorization.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was

impacted by the Company’s ability to deduct only $45 million of the $332 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2012. Accordingly, the reduction in the tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the Company’s ability to realize only a limited tax benefit related to this charge.

Note 12 — Pension and other postretirement benefits

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The defined benefit pension plans are noncontributory. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and regulations. Obligations under non-U.S. plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or by book reserves. In 2008 the Company amended the Teleflex Retirement Income Plan (“TRIP”) to cease future benefit accruals for all employees, other than those subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and amended its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (“SERP”) for all executives to cease future benefit accruals for both employees and executives as of December 31, 2008. The Company replaced the non-qualified defined benefits provided under the SERP with a non-qualified defined contribution arrangement under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 2009. In addition, in 2008, the Company’s postretirement benefit plans were amended to eliminate future benefits for employees, other than those subject to a collective bargaining agreement, who had not attained age 50 and whose age plus service was less than 65.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries provide medical, dental and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors. The associated plans are unfunded and approved claims are paid from Company funds.

Net benefit cost of pension and postretirement benefit plans consisted of the following:

	Pension Three Months Ended						Postretirement Benefits Three Months Ended					Pension Nine Months Ended						Postretirement Benefits Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012		September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012		September 25, 2011

Net benefit cost	$	1,372		$	745		$	755	$	232		$	4,124		$	2,711		$	2,262	$	1,866

The increase in net amortization expense for the pension and postretirement benefit plans reflects the loss due to actuarial changes in benefit obligation recorded at December 31, 2011.

The Company is required to make minimum pension contributions totaling $19.5 million during 2012, of which $3.9 million and $15.2 million were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Note 13 — Commitments and contingent liabilities

Product warranty liability: The Company warrants to the original purchasers of certain of its products that it will, at its option, repair or replace such products, without charge, if they fail due to a manufacturing defect. Warranty periods vary by product. The Company has recourse provisions for certain products that would enable recovery from third parties for amounts paid under the warranty. The Company accrues for product warranties when, based on available information, it is probable that customers will make claims under warranties relating to products that have

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

been sold, and a reasonable estimate of the costs (based on historical claims experience relative to sales) can be made. The following table provides information regarding changes in the Company’s product warranty liability accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Balance — December 31, 2011	$	7,935
Accruals for warranties issued in 2012		72
Settlements (cash and in kind)(a)		(6,305	)
Accruals related to pre-existing warranties(a)		(1,255	)
Translation		(20	)
Balance — September 30, 2012	$	427

(a) Including those related to divested businesses. See Note 16, “Divestiture-related activities” for additional information.

Operating leases: The Company uses various leased facilities and equipment in its operations. The terms for these leased assets vary depending on the lease agreement. At September 30, 2012, the Company had no residual value guarantees related to its operating leases.

Environmental: The Company is subject to contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the Company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the Company or other parties. Much of this liability results from the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), often referred to as Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and similar state laws. These laws require the Company to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where the Company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and their enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded approximately $2.6 million in accrued liabilities and approximately $6.3 million in other liabilities relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these liabilities and, if adverse changes in circumstances occur, potential liability may exceed the amount accrued as of September 30, 2012. The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 15-20 years.

Litigation: The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment and environmental matters. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. An adverse outcome in current or future litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred.

Tax audits and examinations: The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to tax examinations by various taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2012, the most significant tax examinations in process are in Canada, the Czech Republic, France and Austria. In conjunction with these examinations and as a regular and routine practice, the Company may determine a need to establish certain reserves or to adjust existing reserves

22

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

with respect to uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, developments occurring with respect to these examinations, including resolution of uncertain tax positions, could result in increases or decreases to the Company’s recorded tax liabilities, which could impact the Company’s financial results.

Other: The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of its business. On average, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

Note 14 — Business segment information

In the first quarter of 2012, as a result of a reorganization of the Company’s internal business unit reporting structure and related internal financial reporting, the Company changed its segment reporting from a single operating segment to four operating segments. During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. The change did not affect the Company’s reporting unit structure. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change.

An operating segment is a component of the Company (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Based on these criteria, the Company has identified four operating segments, which also comprise its four reportable segments.

Three of the four reportable segments are geographically based: Americas (representing the Company’s operations in North America and Latin America), EMEA (representing the Company’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia. The fourth reportable segment is OEM.

The Company’s geographically based segments design, manufacture and distribute medical devices primarily used in critical care, surgical applications and cardiac care and generally serve two end markets: hospitals and healthcare providers, and home health. The products of the geographically based segments are most widely used in the acute care setting for a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and in general and specialty surgical applications. The Company’s OEM Segment designs, manufactures and supplies devices and instruments for other medical device manufacturers.

Note 15 — Condensed consolidated guarantor financial information

In June 2011, Teleflex Incorporated (referred to below as “Parent Company”) issued $250 million of 6.875% senior subordinated notes through a registered public offering. The notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions. Each Guarantor Subsidiary is 100% owned by the Parent Company. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, each of which are set forth below, provide consolidated information for:

a. Parent Company, the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

b. Guarantor Subsidiaries, on a combined basis;

c. Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; and

d. Parent Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The same accounting policies as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 are used by each entity in the condensed consolidated financial information, except for the use by the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation.

Consolidating entries and eliminations in the following consolidated financial statements represent adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in subsidiaries and (c) record consolidating entries.

The marine business consisted of the Company’s businesses that were engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of steering and throttle controls and engine and drive assemblies for the recreational marine market, heaters for commercial vehicles and burner units for military field feeding appliances. The marine business represented the sole remaining business in the Company’s former Commercial Segment.

The following table presents the operating results of the operations that have been treated as discontinued operations for the periods presented:

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

(2) The $2.2 million pre-tax gain on disposition during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily reflects the gain recognized on the working capital adjustment related to the sale of the cargo systems and cargo container businesses.

(3) The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted unfavorably by the realization of an expense associated with US matters relating to prior years. In addition to the aforementioned item, the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted favorably by the realization of a tax benefit on impairment of goodwill. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 was impacted favorably by the realization of net tax benefits resulting from the resolution (including the expiration of statutes of limitation) of U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax matters relating to prior years and was further impacted favorably because taxes on the sale of the marine business were incurred at a rate that was significantly lower than the statutory tax rate.

Net assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations sold in 2012 were comprised of the following:

	(Dollars in thousands)
Net assets	$	46,209
Net liabilities		(1,457	)
	$	44,752

Note 17 — Subsequent event

On October 23, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of LMA International N.V., a global provider of laryngeal masks with a portfolio of innovative products used extensively in anesthesia and emergency care. The Company paid $292.2 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

On October 23, 2012, in a separate transaction, the Company also acquired the LMA branded laryngeal mask supraglottic airway business and certain other products in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Channel Islands from the shareholders of Intravent Direct Limited and affiliates for $19.9 million in cash. These acquisitions complement the anesthesia product portfolio in the Company’s Critical Care division.

The Company has incurred $1.8 million and $2.2 million in transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, related to these acquisitions.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including changes in business relationships with major customers or suppliers; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; our ability to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, realize planned synergies and operate such businesses profitably in accordance with expectations; our ability to effectively execute our restructuring programs; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on revenues and pricing; increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; and global economic factors, including currency exchange rates and interest rates; difficulties entering new markets; and general economic conditions. For a further discussion of the risks relating to our business, see Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise specifically stated by us or as required by law or regulation.

Overview

Teleflex is a global provider of medical technology products that enhance clinical benefits, improve patient and provider safety and reduce total procedural costs. We primarily design, develop, manufacture and supply single-use medical devices used by hospitals and healthcare providers for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. We sell our products to hospitals and healthcare providers in more than 130 countries through a combination of our direct sales force and distributors. Because our products are used in numerous markets and for a variety of procedures, we are not dependent upon any one end-market or procedure.

We categorize our products into four groups: Critical Care, Surgical Care, Cardiac Care and Original Equipment Manufacturer and Development Services (“OEM”). Critical Care, representing our largest product group, includes medical devices used in vascular access, anesthesia, urology and respiratory care applications; Surgical Care includes surgical instruments and devices; and Cardiac Care includes cardiac assist devices and equipment. OEM designs and manufactures instruments and devices for other medical device manufacturers.

Over the past several years we have evolved into a pure-play medical technology company. Through an extensive acquisition and divestiture program, we significantly changed the composition of our portfolio of businesses, expanding our presence in the medical technology industry, while divesting all of our businesses serving the aerospace and commercial markets. These divestitures included the sale of our cargo systems and container businesses, a part of our former Aerospace Segment, on December 2, 2011 and the sale of our marine business, a part of our former Commercial Segment, on March 22, 2011. The cargo systems, cargo container and marine businesses are classified as discontinued operations in our 2011 condensed consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein.

We are focused on achieving consistent, sustainable and profitable growth by increasing our market share and improving our operating efficiencies through:

• the development of new products and product line extensions;

• the investment in new technologies and broadening their applications;

• the expansion of the use of our products in existing markets, as well as in new geographic markets;

• leveraging our direct sales force and distribution network with new products, manufacturing and distribution facility rationalization and achieving economies of scale as we continue to expand; and

36

• the potential broadening of our product portfolio through select acquisitions, licensing arrangements and partnerships that enhance, extend or expedite our development initiatives or our ability to increase our market share.

During 2012, we completed four late-stage, innovative technology acquisitions to help position us for future growth. We also sold the orthopedics business line of our OEM Segment. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the acquisitions and see Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the disposition.

Our research and development initiatives focus on developing new, innovative products for existing and new therapeutic applications as well as enhancements to, and line extensions of, existing products. Our portfolio of existing products and pipeline of potential new products consist primarily of Class I and Class II devices, which require 510(k) clearance by the FDA for sale in the United States. We believe the 510(k) clearance reduces our research and development costs and risks, and typically results in a shorter timetable for new product introductions as compared to premarket approval, or PMA, process that would be required for Class III devices.

Change in Reporting Segments and Business Unit Structure

Effective January 1, 2012, we changed our segment reporting from a single reportable segment to four reportable segments. Three of which are geographically based. As initially changed, the three geographic segments were North America, EMEA (representing our operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and AJLA (representing our Asian and Latin American operations). The fourth reportable segment is comprised of our OEM business. In addition, in the first quarter of 2012, we changed the number of our reporting units. In 2011, we had six reporting units comprised of North America, EMEA, OEM, Japan, Asia Pacific and Latin America. In 2012, in addition to establishing a new North America segment, we established five reporting units in that segment: Vascular, Anesthesia/Respiratory, Cardiac, Surgical and Specialty. Due to the change in the reporting unit structure in North America, we were required to conduct a goodwill impairment test with respect to each of the North American reporting units in the first quarter of 2012, and determined that the goodwill of three of the reporting units was impaired. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $332 million in the first quarter of 2012. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the goodwill impairment. The impairment charge does not reflect any significant business change or any change in our expectations regarding the future operating results or liquidity of the North American segment. Rather, it is attributable to the creation of five new reporting units out of the North American reporting unit. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we determined the fair value of the North American reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and thus there was no further analysis to determine if there was an impairment of goodwill. In the first quarter of 2012, we determined the relative fair values of each reporting unit and allocated the goodwill assigned to the North American reporting unit to each of the new reporting units based on relative fair value. We subsequently allocated all assets and liabilities other than goodwill to the reporting unit based on specific identification and the reporting unit’s respective operating activities. The resulting allocation of the carrying amounts was different from the allocation of the relative fair value. Accordingly, while there was very little change in the total fair value and carrying value of the sum of the five reporting units compared to the North American reporting unit, the relative values were different for each of the five new reporting units. For some reporting units the fair value exceeded the carrying value, and in other situations the carrying value exceeded fair value of the reporting unit, which resulted in further analysis to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill and the resulting impairment charge. This charge was primarily attributable to the fact that the fair value of assets other than goodwill increased which results in a decrease in the assumed fair value of goodwill.

During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in our management and internal reporting structure, our Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. The change did not affect our reporting unit structure. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the segments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we provided disclosure regarding our critical accounting estimates, which are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We are including expanded disclosure below regarding our accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, which entails critical accounting estimates, to provide more detail regarding procedures and uncertainties relating to the allowance.

Accounting for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

In the ordinary course of business, we grant non-interest bearing trade credit to our customers on normal credit terms. In an effort to reduce our credit risk, we (i) establish credit limits for all of our customer relationships, (ii) perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitor the payment history and aging of our customers’ receivables, and (iv) monitor open orders against an individual customer’s outstanding receivable balance.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for accounts receivable based on our historical collection experience and expected collectability of the accounts receivable, considering the period an account is outstanding, the financial position of the customer and information provided by credit rating services.

In light of the disruptions in global economic markets that began in the fourth quarter of 2008 and have continued through 2012, we have instituted enhanced measures to facilitate customer-by-customer risk assessment when estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts. Such measures include, among others, monthly credit control committee meetings, at which customer credit risks are identified after review of, among other things, accounts that exceed specified credit limits, payment delinquencies and other customer problems. In addition, for some of our non-government customers, we have instituted measures designed to reduce our risk exposures, including issuing dunning letters, reducing credit limits, requiring that payments accompany orders and instituting legal action with respect to delinquent accounts. With respect to government customers, we evaluate receivables for potential collection risks associated with the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices.

Some of our customers, particularly in Europe, have extended or delayed payments for products and services already provided. Collectability concerns regarding our accounts receivable from these customers, for the most part in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, is the primary cause for the increase in the allowance. If the financial condition of these customers or the healthcare systems in these countries continue to deteriorate such that the ability of an increasing number of customers to make payments is uncertain, additional allowances may be required in future periods. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $7.8 million at September 30, 2012 and $6.5 million at December 31, 2011 which was 2.7% and 2.3%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable. The adequacy of this allowance is reviewed each reporting period and adjusted as necessary.

Although we maintain allowances for doubtful accounts to cover the estimated losses which may occur when customers cannot make their required payments, we cannot be assured that we will continue to experience the same loss rate in the future given the volatility in the worldwide economy. If our allowance for doubtful accounts is insufficient to address receivables we ultimately determine are uncollectible, we would be required to incur additional charges, which could materially adversely affect our operating results. Moreover, our inability to collect outstanding receivables could adversely affect our financial condition and cash flow from operations.

Health Care Reform

On March 23, 2010 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was signed into law. This legislation will have a significant impact on our business. For medical device companies such as Teleflex, the expansion of medical insurance coverage should lead to greater utilization of the products we manufacture, but this legislation also contains provisions designed to contain the cost of healthcare, which could negatively affect pricing of our products. In addition, commencing in 2013, the legislation imposes a 2.3% excise tax on sales of medical devices. We continue to prepare for the implementation of this tax and to evaluate its potential impact on our business in light of several uncertainties regarding its application. As we further prepare for implementation and as the taxing authorities clarify aspects of the application of the tax relevant to us, we will be in a better position to ascertain its impact on our business. We currently estimate the impact of the medical device excise tax will be approximately $15 million annually, beginning in 2013.

(1) Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure that measures the change in net revenues between current and prior year periods by excluding the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. The constant currency increase/decrease percentage is calculated by translating the prior year period’s local currency net revenues into an amount reflecting the current year period’s foreign currency exchange rates and calculating the percentage difference between net revenues for the current year period and net revenues for the prior year period, as so translated. Management believes this measure is useful to investors because it eliminates items that do not

39

reflect our day-to-day operations. In addition, management uses this financial measure for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to assist in our evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. This financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, is presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures.

Net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012 increased 1.5% to $368.1 million from $362.7 million for the three months ending September 25, 2011. The increase in net revenues was largely due to higher volume ($12.0 million), reflecting core growth, mostly in Asia, OEM and EMEA, price increases (approximately $4.5 million) across all segments and new products (approximately $5.5 million) in North America, EMEA and OEM. These increases were largely offset by a $17.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in 2012. Net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 increased 3.9% to $1,132.0 million from $1,089.5 million for the nine months ending September 25, 2011. The $42.5 million increase in net revenues was largely due to higher volume (approximately $53.7 million), which benefited from six additional days in the 2012 fiscal period compared to the 2011 period and core growth in all segments, price increases (approximately $12.9 million) across all segments and new products (approximately $14.4 million) in North America, EMEA and OEM. These increases were partly offset by a $37.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates in 2012.

Critical Care net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012 were $244.1 million, a decrease of 0.4% over the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 4.5% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of respiratory, urology, anesthesia and vascular access products. Critical Care net revenues for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 were $754.4 million, an increase of 2.5% over the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 6.1% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of vascular access, anesthesia, urology and respiratory products.

Surgical Care net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012 were $69.6 million, an increase of 5.4% compared to the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 10.1% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of ligation, closure and general surgical instruments products, partially offset by a decline in sales of chest drainage products. Surgical Care net revenues for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012 were $214.8 million, an increase of 5.3% over the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 8.9% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of ligation, general surgical instruments and closure products.

Cardiac Care net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012 were $17.2 million, a decrease of 4.8% compared to the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 1.6% compared to the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of intra-aortic balloon pumps, partially offset by a decline in sales of intra-aortic balloon catheters. Cardiac Care net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 were $57.7 million, a 0.4% decrease over the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 4.3% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of intra-aortic pumps and catheters.

OEM net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012 were $36.9 million, an increase of 11.0% compared to the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 13.0% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of specialty suture and catheter fabrication products. OEM net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 were $104.6 million, an increase of 15.1% over the corresponding prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, net revenues increased 16.7% over the corresponding prior year period. The increase in net revenues was due to higher sales of specialty suture and catheter fabrication products.

Gross profit

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011

Gross profit	$	180.6		$	175.6		$	549.0		$	519.0
Percentage of sales		49.1	%		48.4	%		48.5	%		47.6	%

For the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 2011. The increase in the three month period is primarily due to price increases in all segments and lower manufacturing costs in North America, partly offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. The increase in the nine month period is primarily due to price increases in all segments and lower manufacturing costs in North America, partly offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates and inventory write-offs for excess and slow moving product and damaged product in Asia (approximately $4.9 million).

Selling, general and administrative

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011

Percentage of sales		31.2	%		28.0	%		29.4	%		28.7	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012, increased 3.2% compared to the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to a $7.6 million loss on foreign currency forward exchange contracts entered into in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA International N.V. (“LMA”), higher general and administrative costs ($4.6 million) across all segments for employee related costs, incremental operating costs associated with the businesses acquired ($2.6 million), acquisition related costs ($2.3 million) and higher selling costs ($1.9 million) driven by the increased revenue volumes and support of new products. These increases were partly offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($4.2 million). In addition, 2011 expenses included an increase in the valuation allowance against the zero coupon Greek government bonds ($1.5 million) that we received in 2011 in settlement of trade receivables due to us from sales to the public hospital system in Greece (the “Greek Bonds”). We sold all of the Greek Bonds in 2011 and January of 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, increased 0.7% compared to the corresponding period in 2011, primarily due to a $7.6 million loss on foreign currency forward exchange contracts entered into in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA, higher general and administrative costs ($14.3 million) across all segments, principally on higher employee related costs, incremental operating costs associated with the businesses acquired ($3.1 million), acquisition related costs ($2.9 million) and higher selling costs ($6.4 million) and marketing costs ($1.5) driven by the increased revenue volumes and support of new products. These increases were partly offset by favorable foreign currency exchange rates ($9.4 million). In addition, 2011 expenses included increases in the valuation allowance with respect to the Greek Bonds ($2.8 million); approximately $2.0 million of net separation costs for our former CEO (comprised of $5 million of payments under his employment agreement, less approximately $3 million of stock option and restricted share forfeitures) and increases in litigation reserves ($1.7 million).

During the third quarter of 2012, we entered into forward exchange contracts for Singapore dollars and US dollars in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA. In accordance with FASB guidance, a forecasted transaction is not eligible for hedge accounting if the forecasted transaction involves a business combination. Therefore, gains and losses relating to this arrangement were recognized as incurred. We

41

realized a pre-tax loss of $7.6 million upon settlement of the forward exchange contracts. For additional information regarding the forward exchange contracts and the acquisition of LMA, see Note 8 and Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Research and development

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011

Percentage of sales		4.0	%		3.4	%		3.5	%		3.3	%

The increase in research and development expenses for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding periods of 2011, principally reflects increased investments related to vascular products in North America and continued investment in the new technologies obtained in the second quarter of 2012 through acquisitions.

Interest expense

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011

Average interest rate on debt		4.1	%		5.5	%		4.2	%		5.2	%

The decrease in interest expense for the three month period ending September 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period of 2011, is due to a reduction of approximately $26 million in average outstanding debt and lower average interest rates on debt. The increase in interest expense for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, compared to the corresponding period of 2011, is due to higher average outstanding debt of approximately $24 million, partly offset by lower average interest rates on debt.

Loss on extinguishments of debt

During the nine months ended September 25, 2011, we recorded losses on the extinguishment of debt of $15.4 million as a result of the prepayment, in the first quarter of 2011, of our Senior Notes issued in 2004 (the “2004 Notes”) and our repayment, in the second quarter of 2011, of $125 million in term loan borrowings under our senior credit facility. In connection with the prepayment of our 2004 Notes, we recognized debt extinguishment costs of approximately $14.6 million relating to the payment of a “make-whole” prepayment premium of $13.9 million paid to the holders of the 2004 Notes and the write-off of $0.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs incurred prior to the prepayment of the 2004 Notes. In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a $0.8 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs as a loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the $125 million repayment of the term loan borrowing.

2012 was impacted by our ability to deduct only $45 million of the $332 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2012. Accordingly, the reduction in the tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects our ability to realize only a limited tax benefit related to this charge.

Restructuring and other impairment charges

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012		September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012		September 25, 2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Restructuring and other impairment charges	$	1.1	$	(0.2	)	$	0.1	$	3.6

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million primarily related to the consolidation of our North American warehouses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred restructuring charges of approximately $2.1 million for termination benefit costs, facility closure costs and contract termination costs, of which, $1.3 million related to the consolidation of our North American warehouses. These charges were almost entirely offset by a reversal of approximately $2.0 million of contract termination costs related to a settlement of a dispute involving the termination of a European distributor agreement that was established in connection with our acquisition of Arrow International Inc. in 2007.

Restructuring and other impairment charges were $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2011, which primarily consisted of impairment charges of $3.1 million related to the decline in value of certain investments in affiliates that are considered to be other than temporary recorded in the second quarter of 2011. The determination that the declines in value of these investments were other than temporary resulted from our determination that the operating losses of the entities in which we invested demonstrated that we would be unable to recover the carrying value of the investments. The impairment charges reduce the net carrying amount of our investments to the expected recovery amount negotiated with the remaining partners to the investment. Additionally, restructuring and other impairment charges during the nine months ended September 25, 2011 also included $0.5 million of costs associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program.

For additional information regarding our restructuring programs, see Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

The following is a discussion of our segment operating results.

Comparison of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011

Americas

Americas net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012, increased 1.4% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was primarily due to new product sales ($3.3 million), primarily in Vascular and price increases, partly offset by lower volumes. Americas net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, increased 4.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was due to higher volume of approximately $13.0 million, which benefited from six additional days in the 2012 fiscal period compared to 2011, price increases, primarily in Surgical and Vascular, and new product sales, primarily in Vascular and Anesthesia/Respiratory.

Americas segment operating profit for the three month period ending September 30, 2012 decreased 18.8% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses, largely due to employee related costs, increased Research and Development costs ($2.9 million) largely associated with the continued investment in new technologies obtained in the second quarter of 2012 through acquisitions and incremental operating costs associated with the businesses acquired ($2.5 million). The decreases were partly offset by lower manufacturing costs and higher revenues. Americas segment operating profit for the nine period ending September 30, 2012 increased 2.0% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase reflects the favorable impact of higher net revenues and lower manufacturing costs. These increases were partly offset by higher general and administrative expenses, largely due to employee related costs, increased research and development costs ($6.3 million), including costs associated with the new technologies obtained in the second quarter of 2012 through acquisitions ($2.7 million), higher sales and marketing expenses (approximately $4.8 million), primarily in support of new products and the technologies obtained in the second quarter of 2012 through acquisitions, and incremental operating expenses associated with the businesses acquired ($2.9 million).

EMEA

EMEA net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012, decreased 8.7% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease reflects the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates (approximately $15.0 million), partly offset by higher volumes, new products and price increases. EMEA net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 decreased 3.3% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease reflects the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates (approximately $33.7 million). The foreign currency exchange rate impact was partly offset by higher volume of approximately $16.8 million, which benefited from six additional days in the 2012 fiscal period compared to 2011, new product sales and price increases.

EMEA segment operating profit for the three month period ending September 30, 2012, decreased 74.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a loss on foreign currency forward exchange contracts entered into in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA, higher manufacturing costs and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partly offset by higher revenues. EMEA segment operating profit for the nine month period ending September 30, 2012, decreased 16.5% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a loss on foreign currency forward exchange contracts entered into in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA, higher manufacturing costs and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partly offset by higher revenues. In addition, EMEA segment operating profit in 2011 included an increase in the valuation allowance related to the Greek Bonds.

Asia

Asia net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012, increased 29.8% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was due to higher volume, mostly due to sales growth in the Asia

44

Pacific region, particularly in China and Singapore, and price increases, partly offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Asia net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, increased 17.4% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was due to higher volume of approximately $16.4 million, mostly due to sales growth in the Asia Pacific region, particularly in China and Singapore, and six additional days in the 2012 fiscal period compared to 2011, and price increases, partly offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Asia segment operating profit for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, increased 52.7% and 20.0%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2011. The increase in the three month period is due to the increase in revenues, partly offset by higher manufacturing costs. The increase in the nine month period is due to the increase in revenues, partly offset by inventory write-offs for excess, slow moving and damaged product (approximately $4.9 million).

OEM

OEM net revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2012, increased 11.0% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was due to higher volume, higher capacity as a result of plant expansions, new products and price increases. OEM net revenues for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, increased 15.1% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase was due to higher volume of approximately $7.5 million, which benefited from core growth and six additional days in the 2012 fiscal period compared to 2011, new products and price increases.

OEM segment operating profit for the three months ending September 30, 2012, increased 33.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase reflects the higher net revenues and lower manufacturing costs. OEM segment operating profit for the nine months ending September 30, 2012, increased 44.3% compared to the corresponding period in 2011. The increase reflects the higher net revenues and lower manufacturing costs, partly offset by higher general and administrative costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Operating activities from continuing operations provided net cash of approximately $139.1 million during the first nine months of 2012 compared to $60.2 million during the first nine months of 2011. The $78.9 million increase is primarily due to favorable year-over-year changes in working capital items, primarily accounts receivable (favorable year-over-year by $42.9 million), inventory (favorable year-over-year by $37.0 million) and prepaid expenses and other current assets (favorable year-over-year by $17.6 million). The year-over-year improvement in working capital from accounts receivable reflects a significant collection of receivables from the Spanish government (approximately $17.5 million) during the second quarter of 2012, largely offset by higher net revenues in 2012 in the Americas and EMEA. The comparatively unfavorable change in accounts receivable in 2011 reflected the effect of the termination of a factoring agreement in Italy (approximately $21.7 million) and a slowdown in collections particularly in Italy, Spain and Greece (approximately $14.0 million). The year-over-year improvement in working capital from inventories reflects a build-up of inventory in 2011 and inventory write-offs for excess, slow moving and damaged product in Asia in 2012. The 2011 increase in inventory reflected a planned worldwide build-up of inventory (approximately $40.5 million) primarily to improve service levels by accelerating fulfillment of customer orders. The inventory increases in 2011 also included a $12.8 million increase in the Asia Pacific region to stock a new distribution facility in Singapore. The year-over-year improvement in working capital from prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily reflects the collection of outstanding VAT claims in 2012; these claims were outstanding in 2011. These favorable year-over-year comparisons were partly offset by a $7.7 million non-cash adjustment to income taxes receivable and payable, net, as a result of the settlement of foreign tax audits in 2012 and a reduction in deferred tax liability associated with potential future repatriation of non-permanently reinvested foreign earnings in 2012.

45

We currently do not foresee any difficulties in meeting our cash requirements or accessing credit as needed in the next twelve months. To date, we have not experienced an inordinate amount of payment defaults by our customers, and we have sufficient lending commitments in place to enable us to fund our anticipated additional operating needs. However, in light of the ongoing volatility in the domestic and global financial markets, we continue to monitor our credit risk related to countries affected by the sovereign debt issues in Europe, particularly Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. As of September 30, 2012, our net receivables from publicly funded hospitals in these countries were $70.6 million compared to $75.5 million as of September 25, 2011. For the nine month periods ending September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, net revenues from Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece were approximately 9% and 10%, respectively, of our total net revenues. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, net trade receivables from these countries were approximately 38% of our consolidated accounts receivable, net. If global economic conditions deteriorate, we may experience delays in customer payments and reductions in customer purchases. Moreover, we may incur higher credit losses related to the public hospital systems in these countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows during the remainder of 2012 and in future years.

We completed four acquisitions during the second quarter of 2012, consisting of two asset purchases and two stock purchases. The aggregate fair value of the consideration paid was approximately $111.6 million, which includes initial consideration of approximately $55.8 million and contingent consideration arrangements related to the businesses acquired, which were valued at $55.8 million. The aggregate amount of actual contingent consideration could be up to $90 million. We allocated the fair value of the $111.6 consideration paid to assets acquired of $126.8 million, net of liabilities assumed of $15.2 million. The assets acquired included intangibles for technology, in-process research and development and goodwill, aggregating approximately $121.4 million. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the acquisitions.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $42.2 million during the first nine months of 2012 reflecting payments for businesses acquired of $62.6 million and capital expenditures of $46.1 million, partly offset by the proceeds from sales of businesses and assets of $66.6 million. The payments for businesses acquired includes the aggregate initial consideration we paid in connection with the acquisitions and approximately $6.9 million for contingent consideration payments related to our acquisitions of VasoNova, Inc. (“VasoNova”) in 2011 and Axiom Technology Partners LLC in 2012. The proceeds from sales of businesses and assets includes $45.0 million from the sale of the orthopedic business, $16.8 million that we received as a working capital adjustment pursuant to the terms of the agreement related to the sale of the cargo systems and container businesses of our former Aerospace Segment, $4.5 million from the payment of a subordinated promissory related to the sale of the marine business of our former Commercial Segment and proceeds of $0.3 million from the sale of a building. During the first nine months of 2011, investing activities from continuing operations provided net cash of $43.0 million. In 2011, we received net cash proceeds of approximately $100.9 million from the sale of our marine business, partly offset by payments in connection with our acquisition of VasoNova for $30.6 million and capital expenditures of $27.3 million. The $30.6 million paid for the acquisition of VasoNova included the initial payment of $25.0 million plus a $6.0 million contingent payment made to the former VasoNova security holders upon receiving 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration related to a VasoNova product, less a hold back fee and cash in the business obtained in the acquisition. The increase in capital expenditures reflects plant expansion activities in OEM and increased investments in information technology systems.

Net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $34.7 million in the first nine months of 2012, primarily due to dividend payments of $41.7 million, partly offset by $7.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of outstanding stock options issued under our stock compensation plans, compared to net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations of $32.3 million in 2011. In 2011, we received proceeds from borrowings of $515 million, including the issuance of $250.0 million of 6.875% Senior Subordinated Notes. This additional indebtedness was partially offset by repayments of outstanding debt totaling $455.8 million, including the prepayment of the 2004 Notes totaling $165.8 million and the repayment of $125.0 million under our senior

46

credit facility. We incurred debt extinguishment costs of $18.5 million associated with repayments of these amounts (including the related make whole payments to the holders of the 2004 Notes and related fees). We also made dividend payments of $41.3 million and recognized proceeds of $32.9 million from the exercise of outstanding stock options issued under our stock compensation plans.

Stock Repurchase Program

In 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases of our stock under the Board authorization may be made from time to time in the open market and may include privately-negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant and subject to regulatory considerations. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and our ability to execute on the program will depend on, among other factors, cash requirements for acquisitions, cash generated from operations, debt repayment obligations, market conditions and regulatory requirements. In addition, under our senior credit agreements, we are subject to certain restrictions relating to our ability to repurchase shares in the event our consolidated leverage ratio (generally, the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit agreements) exceeds certain levels, which may limit our ability to repurchase shares under this Board authorization. Through September 30, 2012, no shares have been purchased under this Board authorization.

Net Debt to Total Capital Ratio

The following table provides our net debt to total capital ratio:

	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
	(Dollars in millions)
Net debt includes:
Current borrowings	$	4.7		$	5.0
Long-term borrowings		962.6			954.8
Total debt		967.3			959.8
Less: Cash and cash equivalents		634.8			584.1
Net debt	$	332.5		$	375.7
Total capital includes:
Net debt	$	332.5		$	375.7
Total common shareholders’ equity		1,753.0			1,980.6
Total capital	$	2,085.5		$	2,356.3
Percent of net debt to total capital		16	%		16	%

Our senior credit agreement and the indenture under which we issued our 6.875% senior subordinated notes due 2019 contain covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to incur debt, create liens, consolidate, merge or dispose of certain assets, make certain investments, engage in acquisitions, pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock and enter into swap agreements. Our senior credit agreement also requires us to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (generally, Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, each as defined in our senior credit agreement) of not more than 4.0:1 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio (generally, Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense, each as defined in the senior credit agreement) of not less than 3.5:1 as of the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters calculated pursuant to the definitions and methodology set forth in the senior credit agreement. Non-recurring, non-cash charges, such as the goodwill impairment charge we recorded in the first nine months of 2012, are excluded from the calculation of these ratios and, therefore, do not affect our compliance with these covenants.

47

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and our ability to access additional funds through credit facilities will enable us to fund our operating requirements, capital expenditures and debt obligations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. Depending on conditions in the capital markets and other factors, we will from time to time consider other financing transactions, the proceeds of which could be used to refinance current indebtedness or for other purposes.

Acquisitions

On October 23, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of LMA International N.V., a global provider of laryngeal masks with a portfolio of innovative products used extensively in anesthesia and emergency care. We paid $292.2 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

On October 23, 2012, in a separate transaction, we also acquired the LMA branded laryngeal mask supraglottic airway business and certain other products in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Channel Islands from the shareholders of Intravent Direct Limited and affiliates for $19.9 million in cash. These acquisitions complement the anesthesia product portfolio in our Critical Care division.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

48

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment and environmental matters. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

There have been no significant changes in risk factors for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. See the information set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

(1) During nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $9.7 million to adjust the carrying value of the orthopedic business to its estimated fair value.

(2) The $2.2 million pre-tax gain on disposition during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily reflects the gain recognized on the working capital adjustment related to the sale of the cargo systems and cargo container businesses.

(3) The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted unfavorably by the realization of an expense associated with US matters relating to prior years. In addition to the aforementioned item, the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted favorably by the realization of a tax benefit on impairment of goodwill. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 was impacted favorably by the realization of net tax benefits resulting from the resolution (including the expiration of statutes of limitation) of U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax matters relating to prior years and was further impacted favorably because taxes on the sale of the marine business were incurred at a rate that was significantly lower than the statutory tax rate.

Divestiture-related activities

Divestiture-related activities

Note 16 — Divestiture-related activities

When dispositions occur in the normal course of business, gains or losses on the sale of such businesses or assets are recognized in the income statement line item Gain on sales of businesses and assets. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold a building, with a net book value of zero, that had been classified as an asset held for sale and realized a gain of approximately $0.3 million.

Discontinued Operations

The Company has recorded $0.9 million and $1.1 million of expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, associated with retained liabilities related to businesses that have been divested.

On August 26, 2012, the Company completed the sale of the orthopedic business of its OEM Segment to Tecomet for $45.0 million in cash and realized a loss of $25 thousand, net of tax, from the sale of the business.

On December 2, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its business units that design, engineer and manufacture air cargo systems and air cargo containers and pallets to a subsidiary of AAR CORP. for $280.0 million in cash and realized a gain of $126.8 million, net of tax, from the sale. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company received an additional $16.8 million in proceeds as a working capital adjustment pursuant to the terms of the agreement related to the sale of the business, which resulted in recognition of an additional gain on sale of $2.2 million, net of tax. These business units represented the sole remaining businesses in the Company’s former Aerospace Segment.

On March 22, 2011, the Company completed the sale of its marine business to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, LLC for consideration of $123.1 million (consisting of $103.1 million in cash, plus a subordinated promissory note in the amount of $4.5 million and the assumption by the buyer of approximately $15.5 million in liabilities related to the marine business). Net assets transferred to the buyer in the sale included $1.5 million of cash, resulting in net cash proceeds to the Company of $101.6 million. The Company realized a gain of $57.3 million, net of tax benefits, from the sale of the business. As a result of the disposition, the Company realized accumulated losses from pension and postretirement obligations of approximately $8.4 million and cumulative translation gains of approximately $33.4 million as part of the gain on sale, resulting in a net change of approximately $25.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive income. In September of 2012, the $4.5 million subordinated promissory note plus related accrued interest of $0.7 million was paid by the buyer. The marine business consisted of the Company’s businesses that were engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of steering and throttle controls and engine and drive assemblies for the recreational marine market, heaters for commercial vehicles and burner units for military field feeding appliances. The marine business represented the sole remaining business in the Company’s former Commercial Segment.

The following table presents the operating results of the operations that have been treated as discontinued operations for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to common shareholders	$	(2,521	)	$	11,019		$	(6,283	)	$	78,784

(1) During nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $9.7 million to adjust the carrying value of the orthopedic business to its estimated fair value.

(2) The $2.2 million pre-tax gain on disposition during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily reflects the gain recognized on the working capital adjustment related to the sale of the cargo systems and cargo container businesses.

(3) The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted unfavorably by the realization of an expense associated with US matters relating to prior years. In addition to the aforementioned item, the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted favorably by the realization of a tax benefit on impairment of goodwill. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 25, 2011 was impacted favorably by the realization of net tax benefits resulting from the resolution (including the expiration of statutes of limitation) of U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax matters relating to prior years and was further impacted favorably because taxes on the sale of the marine business were incurred at a rate that was significantly lower than the statutory tax rate.

Net assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations sold in 2012 were comprised of the following:

Commitments and contingent liabilities

Note 13 — Commitments and contingent liabilities

Product warranty liability: The Company warrants to the original purchasers of certain of its products that it will, at its option, repair or replace such products, without charge, if they fail due to a manufacturing defect. Warranty periods vary by product. The Company has recourse provisions for certain products that would enable recovery from third parties for amounts paid under the warranty. The Company accrues for product warranties when, based on available information, it is probable that customers will make claims under warranties relating to products that have been sold, and a reasonable estimate of the costs (based on historical claims experience relative to sales) can be made. The following table provides information regarding changes in the Company’s product warranty liability accruals for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Balance — December 31, 2011	$	7,935
Accruals for warranties issued in 2012		72
Settlements (cash and in kind)(a)		(6,305	)
Accruals related to pre-existing warranties(a)		(1,255	)
Translation		(20	)
Balance — September 30, 2012	$	427

(a) Including those related to divested businesses. See Note 16, “Divestiture-related activities” for additional information.

Operating leases: The Company uses various leased facilities and equipment in its operations. The terms for these leased assets vary depending on the lease agreement. At September 30, 2012, the Company had no residual value guarantees related to its operating leases.

Environmental: The Company is subject to contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the Company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the Company or other parties. Much of this liability results from the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), often referred to as Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and similar state laws. These laws require the Company to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where the Company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and their enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded approximately $2.6 million in accrued liabilities and approximately $6.3 million in other liabilities relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these liabilities and, if adverse changes in circumstances occur, potential liability may exceed the amount accrued as of September 30, 2012. The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 15-20 years.

Litigation: The Company is a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment and environmental matters. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, the Company does not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of litigation is not predictable with assurance. An adverse outcome in current or future litigation could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred.

Tax audits and examinations: The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely subject to tax examinations by various taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2012, the most significant tax examinations in process are in Canada, the Czech Republic, France and Austria. In conjunction with these examinations and as a regular and routine practice, the Company may determine a need to establish certain reserves or to adjust existing reserves with respect to uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, developments occurring with respect to these examinations, including resolution of uncertain tax positions, could result in increases or decreases to the Company’s recorded tax liabilities, which could impact the Company’s financial results.

Other: The Company has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items of permanent investment incident to the ordinary conduct of its business. On average, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market.

Financial instruments

Note 8 — Financial instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments for risk management purposes. Forward rate contracts are used to manage foreign currency transaction exposure. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded on the balance sheet at fair market value. The effective portion of the gains or losses on derivatives is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. See Note 9, “Fair value measurement” for additional information.

The following table presents the location and fair values of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

There was no ineffectiveness related to the Company’s derivatives for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011.

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts for Singapore dollars and US dollars in anticipation of the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of LMA International N.V. (“LMA”). In accordance with FASB guidance, a forecasted transaction is not eligible for hedge accounting if the forecasted transaction involves a business combination. Therefore, gains and losses relating to this arrangement were recognized as incurred. The Company realized a pre-tax loss of $7.6 million upon settlement of the forward exchange contracts. See Note 17, “Subsequent event” for additional information on the LMA acquisition.

In 2011, the Company terminated its interest rate swap covering a notional amount of $350 million designated as a hedge against the variability of the cash flows in the interest payments under the Company’s term loan. As of September 30, 2012, all unrealized losses within AOCI associated with this interest rate swap has been reclassified into earnings.

Based on exchange rates at September 30, 2012, approximately $0.2 million of unrealized losses, net of tax, within AOCI are expected to be reclassified from AOCI during the next twelve months. However, the actual amount reclassified from AOCI could vary due to future changes in exchange rates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the Company’s large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. A portion of the Company’s trade accounts receivable outside the United States, however, include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries’ national economies. Deteriorating credit and economic conditions in parts of Europe, particularly in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal, may continue to increase the average length of time it takes the Company to collect its account receivable in certain regions within these countries.

The Company evaluates all receivables for potential collection risks. If the financial condition of customers or the countries’ healthcare systems continue to deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, the Company may be required to increase its allowance for doubtful accounts in future periods.

The Company’s aggregate accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal as a percent of the Company’s total accounts receivable at the end of the period are as follows:

	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011
	(Dollars in thousands)
Accounts receivable, net in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal		102,664			108,545
Percentage of total accounts receivable, net		38	%		38	%

For the nine months ending September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, net revenues to customers in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal were $101.4 million and $108.0 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company collected approximately $17.5 million from the Spanish government related to past due receivables. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company collected approximately $6.5 million from the Italian government related to past due receivables.

The carrying amount of long-term debt reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is $962.6 million. The Company uses a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality, and risk profile to determine the fair value of its debt. The Company’s implied credit rating is a factor in determining the market interest yield curve. The following table provides the fair value of the Company’s debt by fair value hierarchy level as of September 30, 2012:

	Fair value of debt
	(Dollars in thousands)
Level 1	$	773,404
Level 2		381,678
Total	$	1,155,082

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $332 million based on Level 3 inputs. See Note 5 for a discussion of the goodwill impairment.

Valuation Techniques

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities held in trust, which are available to pay benefits under certain deferred compensation plans and other compensatory arrangements. The investment assets of the trust are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company’s financial assets valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts and, at September 25, 2011, an interest rate swap contract. The Company uses forward rate contracts to manage currency transaction exposure and used interest rate swap to manage exposure to interest rate changes. The fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts represents the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted market prices. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract was developed from market-based inputs under the income approach using cash flows discounted at relevant market interest rates. The Company has taken into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties in measuring fair value. The decrease in the Company’s derivative liabilities in 2012 is due to the termination of its interest rate swap agreement. See Note 8, “Financial instruments” for additional information.

The Company’s financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs are comprised of contingent consideration arrangements pertaining to the Company’s acquisitions. The Company accounts for contingent consideration in accordance with applicable guidance provided within the business combination rules. The Company is contractually obligated to pay certain contingent consideration upon the achievement of specified objectives, including regulatory approvals, sales targets and, in some instances, the passage of time, referred to as milestone payments, and therefore recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the time of the acquisitions. As a result, the Company is required to update its assumptions each reporting period based on new developments and record such amounts at fair value until such consideration is satisfied through payment upon the achievement of the specified objectives or failure to achieve the specified objectives.

It is estimated that the payments of the various milestones may occur as early as 2012 and extend as far as 2018 or later. As of September 30, 2012, the range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay for contingent consideration arrangements is between $7.0 million and $107.0 million. The Company has determined the fair value of the liabilities for the contingent consideration based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with future milestone payments was based on several factors including:

• estimated cash flows projected from the success of market launches;

• the estimated time and resources needed to complete the development of the acquired technologies;

• the uncertainty of obtaining regulatory approvals within the required time periods; and

• the risk adjusted discount rate for fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2012, of the $58.9 million of total contingent consideration, the Company has recorded approximately $21.6 million in current contingent consideration and the remaining $37.3 million in other liabilities.

Acquisitions

Note 3 — Acquisitions

The Company made the following acquisitions during 2012, all of which were accounted for as business combinations:

• On June 22, 2012, the Company acquired Hotspur Technologies, a developer of catheter-based technologies designed to restore blood flow in patients with obstructed vessels. The acquisition of this business complements the dialysis access product line in the Company’s Cardiac Care division. The Company paid $15.0 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

• On May 22, 2012, the Company acquired Semprus BioSciences, a biomedical company that developed a long-lasting, covalently bonded, non-leaching polymer designed to reduce infections and thrombus related complications. While the Company will explore opportunities to apply this technology to a broad array of its product offerings, the initial focus for the technology will be with respect to vascular devices within the Company’s Critical Care division. The Company paid $30.0 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

• On May 3, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Axiom Technology Partners, LLC, constituting its EFx laparoscopic fascial closure system, which is designed for the closure of abdominal trocar defects through which access ports and instruments were used during laparoscopic surgeries. The acquisition of this business complements the surgical closure product line in the Company’s Surgical Care division. The Company paid $7.5 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

• On April 5, 2012, the Company acquired the EZ-Blocker product line, a single-use catheter used to perform lung isolation and one-lung ventilation. The acquisition of this product line complements the Anesthesia product portfolio in the Company’s Critical Care division. The Company paid $3.3 million in cash as initial consideration for the business.

In connection with the acquisitions, the Company agreed to pay contingent consideration based on the achievement of specified objectives, including regulatory approvals and sales targets. The range of undiscounted amounts the Company could be required to pay for contingent consideration arrangements is between $2.0 million to $90.0 million.

The total fair value of consideration for the acquisitions is estimated at $111.6 million, which includes the initial payments of $55.8 million in cash and the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration to be paid to the sellers of $55.8 million. The fair value of each component of contingent consideration was estimated based on the probability of achieving the specified objective using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in connection with the fair value hierarchy (see Note 9, “Fair value measurements”). Any future change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration will be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of income for the period in which the estimated fair value changes. A change in fair value of the contingent consideration could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position for the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Transaction expenses associated with the acquisitions, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, were $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The Company has recorded an aggregate operating loss of approximately $4.5 million and $6.1 million resulting from the acquisitions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The results of operations of the acquired businesses and assets are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from their respective acquisition date. Pro forma information is not presented as the operations of the acquired businesses are not significant compared to the overall operations of the Company.

The following table presents the purchase price allocation among the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30 2012:

	(Dollars in millions)
Assets
Current assets	$	4.1
Property, plant and equipment		1.3
Intangible assets:
Intellectual property		46.9
In-process research and development (“IPR&D”)		45.5
Goodwill		29.0
Total assets acquired		126.8
Less:
Current liabilities		4.8
Deferred tax liabilities		10.4
Liabilities assumed		15.2
Net assets acquired	$	111.6

During the third quarter the Company refined the purchase price allocation, principally with respect to contingent consideration, due to changes in probabilities of achieving specified objectives and changes in discount rates. These changes also impacted the fair values of the acquired intangibles and deferred taxes. The Company is continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation as of the respective acquisition dates. Further adjustments may be necessary as additional information related to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is assessed.

Certain assets acquired in the acquisitions qualify for recognition as intangible assets, apart from goodwill, in accordance with FASB guidance related to business combinations. The estimated fair values of intangible assets acquired include intellectual property of $46.9 million and IPR&D of $45.5 million. Intellectual property has useful lives ranging from 15 to 20 years, and IPR&D has an indefinite life and is not amortized until completion and development of the related project, at which time the IPR&D becomes an amortizable asset. If the related project is not completed in a timely manner, the Company may incur an impairment charge related to the IPR&D, calculated as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. The goodwill resulting from the acquisitions primarily reflects the expected revenue growth attributable to anticipated increased market penetration from future products and customers. Goodwill and the step-up in basis of the intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions are not deductible for tax purposes.

New accounting standards

Note 2 — New accounting standards

The Company adopted the following new accounting standards as of January 1, 2012, the first day of its 2012 fiscal year:

Amendment to Fair Value Measurement: In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements so that the requirements under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) are the same. The guidance clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements and requires enhanced disclosures, most significantly related to unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement that is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance became effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Amendment to Comprehensive Income: In June 2011, the FASB amended guidance relating to the presentation of comprehensive income within an entity’s financial statements. Under the guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amended guidance eliminates the previously available option of presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity. In addition, an entity is required to present adjustments on the face of the financial statements for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendment became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied retrospectively, with the exception of the requirement to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements, which has been deferred pending further deliberation by the FASB.

The Company will adopt the following new accounting standard as of January 1, 2013, the first day of its 2013 fiscal year:

Amendment to Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: In July 2012, the FASB issued updated guidance on the periodic testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. This updated guidance will permit companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more-likely-than-not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test required under current accounting standards. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted.

Business segment information

Note 14 — Business segment information

In the first quarter of 2012, as a result of a reorganization of the Company’s internal business unit reporting structure and related internal financial reporting, the Company changed its segment reporting from a single operating segment to four operating segments. During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. The change did not affect the Company’s reporting unit structure. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change.

An operating segment is a component of the Company (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. Based on these criteria, the Company has identified four operating segments, which also comprise its four reportable segments.

Three of the four reportable segments are geographically based: Americas (representing the Company’s operations in North America and Latin America), EMEA (representing the Company’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia. The fourth reportable segment is OEM.

The Company’s geographically based segments design, manufacture and distribute medical devices primarily used in critical care, surgical applications and cardiac care and generally serve two end markets: hospitals and healthcare providers, and home health. The products of the geographically based segments are most widely used in the acute care setting for a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and in general and specialty surgical applications. The Company’s OEM Segment designs, manufactures and supplies devices and instruments for other medical device manufacturers.

The following tables present the Company’s segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011:

Changes in shareholders' equity

Note 10 — Changes in shareholders’ equity

In 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of outstanding Company common stock. Repurchases of Company stock under the Board authorization may be made from time to time in the open market and may include privately-negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant and subject to regulatory considerations. The stock repurchase program has no expiration date and the Company’s ability to execute on the program will depend on, among other factors, cash requirements for acquisitions, cash generated from operations, debt repayment obligations, market conditions and regulatory requirements. In addition, under the Company’s senior credit agreements, the Company is subject to certain restrictions relating to its ability to repurchase shares in the event the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (generally, the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the senior credit agreements) exceeds certain levels, which may limit the Company’s ability to repurchase shares under this Board authorization. Through September 30, 2012, no shares have been purchased under this Board authorization.

The following table provides a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

2012 Restructuring Charges

The Company regularly evaluates opportunities to consolidate facilities, lower costs and optimize operating efficiencies. As a result the Company has identified an opportunity to improve its supply chain strategy by consolidating its three North American warehouses into one centralized warehouse. This project will entail termination benefits related to a reduction in force, contract termination costs related to a lease, and facility closure costs. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $1.1 million for this project. The Company expects to complete the project over a one year period and anticipates incurring additional charges of $1.6 million related to this initiative. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $2.0 million, primarily related to the warehouse consolidation as noted above and charges related to the termination of certain distributor agreements in Europe.

2011 Restructuring Program

During 2011, the Company initiated a restructuring program at three facilities to consolidate operations and reduce costs. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company reversed $0.1 million of restructuring reserves that were determined to be no longer required. The Company expects to incur additional contract termination costs of approximately $2.7 million when it has completely exited a leased facility. All of the employee termination benefits will be paid in 2012. The payment of the lease contract termination costs will continue until 2015.

2007 Arrow Integration Program

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Arrow International, Inc. (“Arrow”), the Company implemented a program in 2007 to integrate Arrow’s businesses into the Company’s other businesses. The aspects of this program that affect Teleflex employees and facilities (such aspects being referred to as the “2007 Arrow integration program”) are charged to earnings and classified as restructuring and impairment charges. The following table provides information relating to the charges associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program that were included in restructuring and other impairment charges in the condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

The following table provides information relating to changes in the accrued liability associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program during the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

	Balance at December 31, 2011		Subsequent Accruals			Payments			Translation			Balance at September 30, 2012

Other restructuring costs		21		—			—			—			21
	$	2,474	$	(1,834	)	$	(193	)	$	(3	)	$	444

The reduction in the accrual for contract termination costs relates to a revised estimate for the settlement of a dispute involving the termination of a European distributor agreement that was established in connection with the acquisition of Arrow in 2007.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company expects future restructuring expenses associated with the 2007 Arrow integration program, if any, to be nominal.

Impairment Charges

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.1 million related to the decline in value of its investments in affiliates that are considered to be other than temporary. In making this determination, the Company considered multiple factors, including its intent and ability to hold investments, operating losses of investees that demonstrate an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments, the investee’s liquidity and cash position and level of market acceptance of the investee’s products and services.

Impairment of goodwill

Note 5 — Impairment of goodwill

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its North America reporting unit structure from a single reporting unit to five reporting units comprised of Vascular, Anesthesia/Respiratory, Cardiac, Surgical and Specialty. The Company allocated the assets and liabilities of the North America Segment among the new reporting units based on their respective operating activities, and then allocated goodwill among the reporting units using a relative fair value approach, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 350. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined based on a weighted combination of (i) estimation of the discounted cash flows of each of the reporting units based on projected earnings in the future (the income approach) and (ii) analysis of sales of similar assets in actual transactions (the market approach).

Following this allocation, the Company performed goodwill impairment tests on these new reporting units in the first quarter of 2012. As a result of these tests, the Company determined that three of the reporting units in the North America Segment were impaired, and it recorded goodwill impairment charges of $220 million in the Vascular reporting unit, $107 million in the Anesthesia/Respiratory reporting unit and $5 million in the Cardiac reporting unit in the first quarter of 2012.

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its reporting structure to four reportable segments, three of which are geographically-based and one of which is comprised of the Company’s OEM business. During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 14, “Business segment information” for additional information on the Company’s new reporting structure.

The increase in intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily reflects the effect of the Company’s acquisitions. See Note 3 for discussion of Company’s acquisitions.

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $11.1 million and $10.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, respectively, and $32.3 million and $32.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 25, 2011, respectively.

Pension and other postretirement benefits

Note 12 — Pension and other postretirement benefits

The Company has a number of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The defined benefit pension plans are noncontributory. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. The Company’s funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and regulations. Obligations under non-U.S. plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or by book reserves. In 2008 the Company amended the Teleflex Retirement Income Plan (“TRIP”) to cease future benefit accruals for all employees, other than those subject to a collective bargaining agreement, and amended its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (“SERP”) for all executives to cease future benefit accruals for both employees and executives as of December 31, 2008. The Company replaced the non-qualified defined benefits provided under the SERP with a non-qualified defined contribution arrangement under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan, effective January 1, 2009. In addition, in 2008, the Company’s postretirement benefit plans were amended to eliminate future benefits for employees, other than those subject to a collective bargaining agreement, who had not attained age 50 and whose age plus service was less than 65.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries provide medical, dental and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors. The associated plans are unfunded and approved claims are paid from Company funds.

Net benefit cost of pension and postretirement benefit plans consisted of the following:

Net benefit cost	$	1,372		$	745		$	755	$	232		$	4,124		$	2,711		$	2,262	$	1,866

The increase in net amortization expense for the pension and postretirement benefit plans reflects the loss due to actuarial changes in benefit obligation recorded at December 31, 2011.

The Company is required to make minimum pension contributions totaling $19.5 million during 2012, of which $3.9 million and $15.2 million were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated on the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, our financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 our financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X, does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Accordingly, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year’s presentation. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed its segment reporting from a single reportable segment to four reportable segments, three of which are geographically based. As initially changed, the three geographic segments were North America, EMEA (representing the Company’s operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and AJLA (representing Asian and Latin America operations). The Company’s fourth reportable segment is comprised of the Company’s Original Equipment Manufacturer and Development Services (“OEM”) businesses. In addition, in the first quarter of 2012, the Company changed the number of its reporting units. In 2011, the Company had six reporting units comprised of North America, EMEA, OEM and three reporting units in the AJLA segment. In 2012, the Company changed its North America reporting unit structure from a single reporting unit to five reporting units comprised of Vascular, Anesthesia/Respiratory, Cardiac, Surgical and Specialty. As a result of the change in the North America reporting unit structure, the Company was required to conduct a goodwill impairment test of each of the North American reporting units and determined that the goodwill of three of the reporting units was impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $332 million in the first quarter of 2012. See Note 5 for a discussion of the goodwill impairment. During the third quarter of 2012, due to changes in the Company’s management and internal reporting structure, the Company’s Latin America operations were moved from the AJLA Segment into the North America Segment. As a result of this change, the North America Segment is now referred to as the Americas Segment and the AJLA Segment is now referred to as the Asia Segment. The change did not affect the Company’s reporting unit structure. All prior comparative periods have been restated to reflect this change. See Note 14 for a discussion of the Company’s segments.

As used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Teleflex” and the “Company” mean Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.

Taxes on income from continuing operations

Taxes on income from continuing operations

Note 11 — Taxes on income from continuing operations

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011			September 30, 2012			September 25, 2011
Effective income tax rate		22.8	%		23.5	%		(1.4	)%		23.0	%

The effective income tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 22.8% and (1.4)%, respectively, compared to 23.5% and 23.0% for the three months and nine months ended September 25, 2011, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was impacted by the Company’s ability to deduct only $45 million of the $332 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2012. Accordingly, the reduction in the tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the Company’s ability to realize only a limited tax benefit related to this charge.
