Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

No period on file has changed between its first report and the latest filing carrying it.

First filing reporting each period vs the latest filing carrying it (10-K and 10-Q only, periods since 2020, the extractor's winning tag per concept); a change under 0.5% is treated as rounding. A change can be a restatement, a reclassification or a re-tagging in a later comparative column; the two filings are linked so the reader can see which. Descriptive, not a verdict.

Business combinations · 2,069 characters as filed

Business Combinations The Company completed individually and in the aggregate immaterial acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Companys assessment of fair value, including the valuation of certain identified intangibles, and the purchase price allocation related to these acquisitions is preliminary and subject to change upon completion. Further adjustments, largely related to acquired intangible assets and related deferred taxes, may be necessary as additional information related to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is assessed during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The Company recorded goodwill from these acquisitions, primarily attributable to assembled workforce, expected synergies and new customer relationships. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of the acquisitions subsequent to their respective closing dates. Pro forma information is not presented as pro forma results of operations would not be materially different to the actual results of operations of the Company. The following table provides certain preliminary financial information for these acquisitions: (in millions) June 30, 2026 Assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents $ 14 Accounts receivable 36 Other assets 92 Goodwill 135 Other identifiable intangibles 87 Liabilities assumed: Other liabilities (86) Deferred income taxes, long-term (38) Net assets acquired (1) $ 240 (1) Net assets acquired inclu

Commitments and contingencies · 2,175 characters as filed

Contingencies The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in legal and tax proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management periodically assesses the Companys liabilities and contingencies in connection with these matters based upon the latest information available. For those matters where management currently believes it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and that the probable loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company has recorded an accrual in the consolidated financial statements based on its best estimates of such loss. In other instances, because of the uncertainties related to either the probable outcome or the amount or range of loss, management is unable to make a reasonable estimate of a liability, if any. However, even in many instances where the Company has recorded an estimated liability, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the final outcome of the matter or whether resolution of the matter will materially affect the Companys results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As additional information becomes available, the Company adjusts its assessments and estimates of such liabilities accordingly. The Company routinely enters into agreements with third parties, including its clients and suppliers, all in the normal course of business. In these agreements, the Company sometimes agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party for any damages such other party may s

Fair value · 5,597 characters as filed

Fair Value Measurements The Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is described below. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31,

Income taxes · 1,934 characters as filed

Income Taxes The Company's effective income tax rate was 19.9% and 17.3% in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was 18.9% and 18.1% in the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective income tax rate in the second quarter and in the first six months of 2026 and 2025 was impacted due to changes in the geographical mix of earnings amongst the United States and foreign tax jurisdictions. On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Developments (OECD) Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% on companies with revenues of at least 750 million, which went into effect in 2025. In January 2026, the OECD released Administrative Guidance establishing a side-by-side system that is intended to reduce the compliance burden of calculating the Pillar Two top-up-tax amounts for jurisdictions with similar regimes with minimum tax requirements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, subject to adoption by relevant jurisdictions. This is achieved by deeming a top-up tax amount of zero as it relates to Income Inclusion Rules and Undertaxed Profits Rules for Multinational Enterprise groups with an ultimate parent entity in such jurisdictions; however, this guidance does not affect the application of local minimum or qualified domestic top-up taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

Restructuring The Company has continued to take restructuring actions in 2026 to align its resources and reduce overcapacity to adapt to changing market conditions and integrate acquisitions. These actions include consolidating functional activities, eliminating redundant positions, and aligning resources with customer requirements. These restructuring actions are expected to continue throughout 2026 and into 2027. The following amounts were recorded for the restructuring plans: (in millions) Severance and Related Costs Balance as of December 31, 2025 $ 31 Expense, net of reversals 114 Payments (77) Foreign currency translation and other (1) Balance as of June 30, 2026 $ 67 The reversals were due to changes in estimates primarily resulting from the redeployment of staff and higher than expected voluntary terminations. Restructuring costs are not allocated to the Companys reportable segments as they are not part of the segment performance measures regularly reviewed by management. The Company expects that the majority of the restructuring accruals as of June 30, 2026 will be paid in 2026 and 2027.

"Segments The following table presents the Companys operations by reportable segment. The Company was previously managed through three reportable segments, Technology & Analytics Solutions, Research & Development Solutions and Contract Sales & Medical Solutions. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company updated its segment reporting to align with industry evolution, its updated operating model, and how internal reporting is provided to the chief operating decision maker (""CODM""). As a result, the Contract Sales & Medical Solutions segment, which had become more closely related operationally to the Technology & Analytics Solutions segment commercial offerings, was incorporated into the Technology & Analytics Solutions segment, which is renamed Commercial Solutions. Additionally, Real-World Late Phase and certain other Real-World offerings that had become more closely related operationally to the clinical research business, were moved from the Technology & Analytics Solutions segment to the Research & Development Solutions segment. The Company is reflecting the recast of segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 on this basis in the table below.
