PERKINELMER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by PerkinElmer, Inc. (the “Company”), without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S.” or the "United States") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information in the footnote disclosures of the financial statements has been condensed or omitted where it substantially duplicates information provided in the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial statements, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013, filed with the SEC (the “2013 Form 10-K”). The balance sheet amounts at December 29, 2013 in this report were derived from the Company’s audited 2013 consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classifications 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. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year or any future period. The Company has evaluated subsequent events from June 29, 2014 through the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and has determined that no material subsequent events have occurred that would affect the information presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements or would require additional disclosure.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, such pronouncements did not have or will not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows or do not apply to the Company’s operations.

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Under this new guidance, only disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results will be presented as discontinued operations. The standard also requires new disclosures related to individually significant disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The provisions of this guidance are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this new guidance, an entity should use a five-step process to recognize revenue, which depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires new disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The provisions of this guidance are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of its adoption on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2: Business Combinations

During fiscal year 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of four businesses for total consideration of $11.4 million, in cash. During the first six months of fiscal year 2014, the Company paid $0.4 million in additional deferred consideration for one of these acquisitions. As of the closing date of that acquisition, the Company potentially had to pay additional contingent consideration for the business of up to $2.2 million, which at closing had an estimated fair value of $1.1 million. The excess of the purchase prices over the fair values of each of the acquired businesses' net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and have been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible. The Company reported the operations for these acquisitions within the results of the Company's operations from the acquisition dates. As of June 29, 2014, the purchase

7

Table of Contents

accounting allocations related to these acquisitions were preliminary, with the exception of those acquisitions completed during the first six months of fiscal year 2013.

The preliminary allocations of the purchase prices for these acquisitions were based upon initial valuations. The Company's estimates and assumptions underlying the initial valuations are subject to the collection of information necessary to complete the Company's valuations within the measurement periods, which are up to one year from the acquisition dates. The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocations that are not yet finalized relate to the fair value of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assets and liabilities related to income taxes and related valuation allowances, and residual goodwill. The Company expects to continue to obtain information to assist in determining the fair values of the net assets acquired at the acquisition dates during the measurement periods. During the measurement periods, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition dates that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of those dates. Adjustments to the preliminary allocations of the purchase prices during the measurement periods require the revision of comparative prior period financial information when reissued in subsequent financial statements. The effect of adjustments to the allocations of the purchase prices made during the measurement periods would be as if the adjustments had been completed on the acquisition dates. The effects of any such adjustments, if material, may cause changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income or expense recognized in prior periods. All changes that do not qualify as adjustments made during the measurement periods are included in current period earnings.
Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair values for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on the probability that revenue thresholds or product development milestones will be achieved during the earnout period, with changes in the fair value after the acquisition date affecting earnings to the extent it is to be settled in cash. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily result from changes in the estimated probabilities of achieving revenue thresholds or product development milestones during the earnout period. The Company may have to pay contingent consideration, related to all acquisitions with open contingency periods, of up to $28.6 million as of June 29, 2014. As of June 29, 2014, the Company has recorded contingent consideration obligations relating to its acquisitions of Dexela Limited, Haoyuan Biotech Co. and Tetra Teknolojik Sistemler Limited Sirketi, with an estimated fair value of $3.4 million. The earnout period for each of these acquisitions does not exceed three years from the respective acquisition date. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these fair values, the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of definite-lived intangible assets or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.
Total transaction costs related to acquisition activities for each of the three and six months ended June 29, 2014 were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Total transaction costs related to acquisition activities were $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. These transaction costs were expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 3: Discontinued Operations

As part of the Company’s continuing efforts to focus on higher growth opportunities, the Company has discontinued certain businesses. The Company has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and, accordingly, has presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Any remaining assets and liabilities of these businesses have been presented separately, and are reflected within the assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013.

In May 2014, the Company’s management approved the shutdown of its microarray-based diagnostic testing laboratory in the United States, which has been reported within the Human Health segment. The Company determined that, with the lack of adequate reimbursement from health care payers, the microarray-based diagnostic testing laboratory in the United States would need significant investment in its operations to reduce costs in order to effectively compete in the market. The shutdown of the microarray-based diagnostic testing laboratory in the United States resulted in a $0.3 million pre-tax loss related to the disposal of fixed assets and inventory during the three months ended June 29, 2014.
In June 2010, the Company sold its Photoflash business, which was included in the Company's Environmental Health segment, for $13.5 million, including an adjustment for net working capital, plus potential additional contingent consideration. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.5 million for contingent consideration related to this sale. This gain was recognized as a gain on disposition of discontinued operations.
During the first six months of both fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Company settled various commitments related to the divestiture of other discontinued operations. The Company recognized pre-tax gains and losses in the first six months of both fiscal years 2014 and 2013. These gains and losses were recognized as a (loss) gain on disposition of discontinued operations.
Summary pre-tax operating results of the discontinued operations for the periods prior to disposition, which included a $1.0 million pre-tax charge related to workforce reductions in the microarray-based diagnostic testing laboratory in the United States during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, were as follows:

Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2012 were workforce reductions and the closure of excess facility space related to the integration of the Company’s businesses in order to realign operations, reduce costs, achieve operational efficiencies and shift resources into geographic regions and end markets that are more consistent with the Company’s growth strategy. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, the Company paid $3.6 million related to these plans and recorded an additional charge of $0.1 million related to higher than expected costs associated with workforce reductions within the Human Health Segment. As of June 29, 2014, the Company had $9.7 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities and remaining severance payments for workforce reductions in both the Human Health and Environmental Health segments. The Company expects to make payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, through fiscal year 2022. The Company anticipates the remaining severance payments for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, as local law requires some severance to be paid in monthly installments through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Contract Termination Charges
The Company has terminated various contractual commitments in connection with certain disposal activities and has recorded charges, to the extent applicable, for the costs of terminating these contracts before the end of their terms and the costs that will continue to be incurred for the remaining terms without economic benefit to the Company. The Company recorded an additional pre-tax charge of $1.5 million, primarily as a result of terminating various contractual commitments in the

Environmental Health segment, and the Company made payments for these obligations of $1.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. The remaining balance of these accruals as of June 29, 2014 was $0.6 million.

Note 7: Income Taxes

The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company makes adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority at a differing amount; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position.
At June 29, 2014, the Company had gross tax effected unrecognized tax benefits of $33.9 million, of which $28.6 million, if recognized, would affect the continuing operations effective tax rate. The remaining amount, if recognized, would affect discontinued operations.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $2.4 million of its uncertain tax positions at June 29, 2014, including accrued interest and penalties, and net of tax benefits, may be resolved over the next twelve months as a result of lapses in applicable statutes of limitations and potential settlements. Various tax years after 2006 remain open to examination by certain jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations, such as China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction.
During the first six months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded net discrete income tax benefits of $4.0 million and $15.4 million, respectively, primarily for reversals of uncertain tax position reserves and resolution of other tax matters. The $15.4 million discrete income tax benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included $9.4 million of reversals as a result of lapses in statutes of limitation during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Note 8: Debt

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On January 8, 2014, the Company refinanced its debt held under a previous senior unsecured revolving credit facility and entered into a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The new senior unsecured revolving credit facility provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans and has an initial maturity of January 8, 2019. As of June 29, 2014, undrawn letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $12.2 million were treated as issued and outstanding under the new senior unsecured revolving credit facility. As of June 29, 2014, the Company had $329.8 million available for

13

Table of Contents

additional borrowing under the new facility. The Company uses the senior unsecured revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, refinancing existing indebtedness, capital expenditures, share repurchases, acquisitions and strategic alliances. The interest rates under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility are based on the Eurocurrency rate or the base rate at the time of borrowing, plus a margin. The base rate is the higher of (i) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its "prime rate," (ii) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points or (iii) one-month Libor plus 1.00%. At June 29, 2014, borrowings under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility were accruing interest based on the Eurocurrency rate. The Eurocurrency margin as of June 29, 2014 was 108 basis points. The weighted average Eurocurrency interest rate as of June 29, 2014 was 0.18%, resulting in a weighted average effective Eurocurrency rate, including the margin, of 1.26%. At June 29, 2014, the Company had $358.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars outstanding under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit agreement for the facility contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default similar to those contained in the Company's credit agreement for its previous facility. The financial covenants in the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility include a debt-to-capital ratio, and two contingent covenants, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, applicable if the Company's credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, the Company capitalized $1.8 million of debt issuance costs for the refinancing of debt held under its previous senior unsecured revolving credit facility. These debt issuance costs are being amortized into interest and other expense, net, on a straight-line basis, over the term of the new senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

The Company's previous senior unsecured revolving credit facility provided for $700.0 million of revolving loans and had an initial maturity of December 16, 2016. At December 29, 2013, the Company had $397.0 million of borrowings in U.S. Dollars outstanding under the previous senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The credit agreement for the previous facility contained affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default similar to those contained in the Company's new credit facility.
5% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2021. On October 25, 2011, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due in 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) in a registered public offering and received $496.9 million of net proceeds from the issuance. The 2021 Notes were issued at 99.372% of the principal amount, which resulted in a discount of $3.1 million. As of June 29, 2014, the 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $497.5 million, net of $2.5 million of unamortized original issue discount. As of December 29, 2013, the 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $497.4 million, net of $2.6 million of unamortized original issue discount. The 2021 Notes mature in November 2021 and bear interest at an annual rate of 5%. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semi-annually on May 15th and November 15th each year. Prior to August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect to the 2021 Notes being redeemed, discounted on a semi-annual basis, at the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest. At any time on or after August 15, 2021 (three months prior to their maturity date), the Company may redeem the 2021 Notes, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the 2021 Notes ) and a contemporaneous downgrade of the 2021 Notes below investment grade, each holder of 2021 Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder's 2021 Notes for 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Financing Lease Obligations. In September 2012, the Company entered into agreements with the lessors of certain buildings that the Company is currently occupying and leasing to expand those buildings. The Company provided a portion of the funds needed for the construction of the additions to the buildings, which resulted in the Company being considered the owner of the buildings during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company was not reimbursed by the lessors for all of the construction costs. The Company is therefore deemed to have continuing involvement and the leases qualify as financing leases under sale-leaseback accounting guidance, representing debt obligations for the Company and non-cash investing and financing activities. As a result, the Company capitalized $29.3 million in property and equipment, net, representing the fair value of the buildings with a corresponding increase to debt. The Company has also capitalized $11.5 million in additional construction costs necessary to complete the renovations to the buildings, which were funded by the lessors, with a corresponding increase to debt. At June 29, 2014, the Company had $39.8 million recorded for these financing lease obligations, of which $1.1 million was recorded as short-term debt and $38.7 million was recorded as long-term debt. At December 29, 2013, the Company had $40.3 million recorded for these financing lease obligations, of which $2.6 million was recorded as short-term debt and $37.7 million was recorded as long-term debt. The buildings are being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases to their estimated residual values, which will equal the remaining financing obligation at the end of the lease term. At the end of the lease term, the remaining balances in property, plant and equipment, net and debt will be reversed against each other.

Note 9: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less restricted unvested shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the earnings per share calculations:

Note 10: Industry Segment Information

The Company discloses information about its operating segments based on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenue and operating income. Intersegment revenue and transfers are not significant. The Company’s management reviews the results of the Company’s operations by the Human Health and Environmental Health operating segments. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2013 Form 10-K. The principal products and services of the Company's two operating segments are:
Human Health.    Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. The Human Health segment serves both the diagnostics and research markets.
Environmental Health.    Provides products, services and solutions to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. The Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.
The Company has included the expenses for its corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, as well as the activity related to the mark-to-market adjustment on postretirement benefit plans, as “Corporate” below. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when these costs are administered or paid by the corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in the Company’s calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes, including determining the compensation of the business leaders for each of the Company’s operating segments.

In December 2013, the Company redeemed all of its 6% senior unsecured notes due in 2015 and wrote-off the remaining unamortized derivative losses for previously settled cash flow hedges. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, pre-tax losses of $1.0 million were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest and other expense, net related to previously settled cash flow hedges. The Company recognized a tax benefit of $0.4 million related to these amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Stock Repurchase Program:
On October 24, 2012, the Board of Directors ("the Board") authorized the Company to repurchase up to 6.0 million shares of common stock under a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). The Repurchase Program will expire on October 24, 2014 unless terminated earlier by the Board, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the six

months ended June 29, 2014, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $34.8 million, including commissions, under the Repurchase Program. As of June 29, 2014, 1.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock remained available for repurchase from the 6.0 million shares authorized by the Board under the Repurchase Program.
The Board has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans and to satisfy obligations related to the exercise of stock options made pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plans. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, the Company repurchased 97,174 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $4.2 million. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.

Dividends:
The Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share for each of the first two quarters of fiscal year 2014 and in each quarter of fiscal year 2013. At June 29, 2014, the Company has accrued $7.9 million for dividends declared on April 22, 2014 for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, payable in August 2014. On July 24, 2014, the Company announced that the Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 that will be payable in November 2014. In the future, the Board may determine to reduce or eliminate the Company’s common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

Note 12: Stock Plans

In addition to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company utilizes one stock-based compensation plan, the 2009 Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Under the 2009 Plan, 10.0 million shares of the Company's common stock are authorized for stock option grants, restricted stock awards, performance units and stock grants as part of the Company’s compensation programs. In addition to shares of the Company’s common stock originally authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan, the 2009 Plan includes shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted under the Amended and Restated 2001 Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan that were canceled or forfeited without the shares being issued.
The following table summarizes total pre-tax compensation expense recognized related to the Company’s stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and stock grants, net of estimated forfeitures, included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013:

Note 13: Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
 
The Company tests goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually for possible impairment. Accordingly, the Company completes the annual testing of impairment for goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets on the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year. In addition to its annual test, the Company regularly evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential impairment of goodwill or non-amortizing intangible assets.
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of a two-step process. The first step is the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The second step measures the amount of an impairment loss, and is only performed if the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company performed its annual impairment testing for its reporting units as of January 1, 2014, its annual impairment date for fiscal year 2014. The Company concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment, and the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 90.0% for each reporting unit, with the exception of the life sciences and technology reporting unit where the fair value exceeded the carrying value by approximately 11.0%. The carrying value of the goodwill for the life sciences and technology reporting unit was $796.3 million, at the annual impairment date for fiscal year 2014.
The Company has consistently employed the income approach to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of goodwill. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the income approach to forecast operating cash flows, including markets and market share, sales volumes and prices, costs to produce, tax rates, capital spending, discount rate and working capital changes. Cash flow forecasts are based on approved business unit operating plans for the early years’ cash flows and historical relationships in later years. The income approach is sensitive to changes in long-term terminal growth rates and the discount rates. The long-term terminal growth rates are consistent with the Company’s historical long-term terminal growth rates, as the current economic trends are not expected to affect the long-term terminal growth rates of the Company. The long-term terminal growth rates for the Company’s reporting units ranged from 3.0% to 6.0% for the fiscal year 2014 impairment analysis. The range for the discount rates for the reporting units was approximately 10.0% to 11.5%. Keeping all other variables constant, a 10.0% change in any one of the input assumptions for

the various reporting units would still allow the Company to conclude, based on the first step of the process, that there was no impairment of goodwill.
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company realigned its organization which resulted in a change in the composition of the Company's reporting units within the Human Health segment. The Company's informatics business was moved from the life sciences and technology reporting unit to its own reporting unit. As a result of the new alignment, the Company reallocated goodwill based on the relative fair value, determined using the income approach, of each of these businesses. The change resulted in $192.6 million of goodwill being reallocated from the life sciences and technology reporting unit to the informatics reporting unit as of June 29, 2014. As of June 29, 2014, the Company concluded based on the first step of the process that there was no goodwill impairment for either the life sciences and technology reporting unit or the informatics reporting unit, and the fair value exceeded the carrying value by more than 20.0% for each of these reporting units.
The Company has consistently employed the relief from royalty model to estimate the current fair value when testing for impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the non-amortizing intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a non-amortizing intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized. In addition, the Company currently evaluates the remaining useful life of its non-amortizing intangible assets at least annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If events or circumstances indicate that the useful lives of non-amortizing intangible assets are no longer indefinite, the assets will be tested for impairment. These intangible assets will then be amortized prospectively over their estimated remaining useful lives and accounted for in the same manner as other intangible assets that are subject to amortization. The Company performed its annual impairment testing as of January 1, 2014, and concluded that there was no impairment of non-amortizing intangible assets. An assessment of the recoverability of amortizing intangible assets takes place when events have occurred that may give rise to an impairment. No such events occurred during the first six months of fiscal year 2014.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period ended June 29, 2014 from December 29, 2013 were as follows:

Note 16: Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy only, and includes derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and has policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other

22

Table of Contents

speculative purposes, nor does the Company use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 60% of the Company’s business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. The fluctuations in foreign currency can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward currency contracts that hedge these exposures.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with its committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in earnings for hedges designated as fair value and, for hedges designated as cash flow, the related unrealized gains or losses are deferred as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the underlying anticipated transaction occurs and impacts earnings.
Principal hedged currencies include the British Pound, Euro, Japanese Yen and Singapore Dollar. The Company held forward foreign exchange contracts, designated as fair value hedges, with U.S. equivalent notional amounts totaling $109.7 million, $138.4 million and $69.0 million at June 29, 2014, December 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, and the fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on foreign currency derivative contracts are not material. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days or less during both fiscal years 2014 and 2013.
In December 2012, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts with settlement dates in fiscal year 2013 and combined Euro denominated notional amounts of €50.0 million, designated as cash flow hedges. During the first two quarters of fiscal year 2013, the Company settled these Euro denominated forward foreign exchange contracts. The derivative gains were amortized into interest and other expense, net, when the hedged exposures affected interest and other expense, net. Such amounts were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Note 17: Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, derivatives, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company believes it had no significant concentrations of credit risk as of June 29, 2014.
The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended June 29, 2014. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are primarily comprised of marketable securities, derivative contracts used to hedge the Company’s currency risk, and acquisition-related contingent consideration. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy: The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required to measure fair value. For Level 1 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices as these instruments have active markets. For Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or utilizes alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. For Level 3 inputs, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based on the best information available, including estimates by management primarily based on information provided by third-party fund managers, independent brokerage firms and insurance companies. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.

Level 1 and Level 2 Valuation Techniques:    The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised of investments in equity and fixed-income securities as well as derivative contracts. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including common stock price quotes, foreign exchange forward prices and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. 
Marketable securities:    Include equity and fixed-income securities measured at fair value using the quoted market prices in active markets at the reporting date.
Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities:    Include foreign exchange derivative contracts that are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. The Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company and its counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other. Derivative assets and liabilities that can be net settled under these arrangements have been presented in the Company's consolidated balance sheet on a net basis and are recorded in other assets. As of both June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013, none of the master netting arrangements involved collateral.
Level 3 Valuation Techniques:    The Company’s Level 3 liabilities are comprised of contingent consideration related to acquisitions. For liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 3 liabilities.
Contingent consideration:    The Company has classified its net liabilities for contingent consideration relating to its acquisitions within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using significant unobservable inputs, which included probability weighted cash flows. A description of the significant acquisitions is included within Note 2 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements filed with the 2013 Form 10-K. Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, based on the probability that revenue thresholds or product development milestones will be achieved during the earnout period. Increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities primarily result from changes in the estimated probabilities of achieving revenue thresholds or product development milestones during the earnout period. The Company may have to pay contingent consideration, related to all acquisitions with open contingency periods, of up to $28.6 million as of June 29, 2014. As of June 29, 2014, the Company has recorded contingent consideration obligations relating to its acquisitions of Dexela Limited, Haoyuan Biotech Co. and Tetra Teknolojik Sistemler Limited Sirketi, with an estimated fair value of $3.4 million at June 29, 2014. The earnout period for each of these acquisitions does not exceed three years from the respective acquisition date, and the remaining weighted average earnout period at June 29, 2014 was one year.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. If measured at fair value, cash and cash equivalents would be classified as Level 1.
The Company’s new senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which provides for $700.0 million of revolving loans, had amounts outstanding, excluding letters of credit, of $358.0 million as of June 29, 2014. The Company’s previous senior unsecured revolving credit facility had amounts outstanding, excluding letters of credit, of $397.0 million as of December 29, 2013. The interest rate on the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility is reset at least monthly to correspond to variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. The Company had no change in credit standing during the first six months of fiscal year 2014. Consequently, the carrying value of the current year and prior year credit facilities approximate fair value and would be classified as Level 2. 
The Company's 2021 Notes, with a face value of $500.0 million, had an aggregate carrying value of $497.5 million, net of $2.5 million of unamortized original issue discount, and a fair value of $533.2 million as of June 29, 2014. The 2021 Notes had an aggregate carrying value of $497.4 million, net of $2.6 million of unamortized original issue discount, and a fair value of $513.0 million as of December 29, 2013. The fair value of the 2021 Notes is estimated using market quotes from brokers and is based on current rates offered for similar debt. The Company's financing lease obligations had an aggregate carrying value of $39.8 million and $40.3 million as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively, which approximated their fair value as there has been minimal change in the Company's incremental borrowing rate. As of June 29, 2014, the 2021 Notes and financing lease obligations were classified as Level 2.
As of June 29, 2014, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities due to credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to the Company’s derivative assets based on the evaluation of its counterparties’ credit risks.

Note 18: Leases

On August 22, 2013, the Company sold one of its facilities located in Boston, Massachusetts for net proceeds of $47.6 million. Simultaneously with the closing of the sale of the property, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease back the property for its continued use. The lease has an initial term of 15 years and the Company has the right to extend the term of the lease for two additional periods of ten years each. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease and at the transaction date the Company had deferred $26.5 million of gains which are being amortized in operating expenses over the initial lease term of 15 years. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, the Company amortized $0.9 million of deferred gains related to the lease. At June 29, 2014, $25.0 million of these deferred gains remained to be amortized, which were recorded in long-term liabilities. At December 29, 2013, $25.9 million of deferred gains remained to be amortized, which were recorded in long-term liabilities.

Note 19: Contingencies

The Company is conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of the Company and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. The Company accrues for environmental issues in the accounting period that the Company’s responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued $12.0 million and $13.5 million as of June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013, respectively, which represents management’s estimate of the cost of the remediation of known environmental matters, and does not include any potential liability for related personal injury or property damage claims. This amount is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any material amounts through insurance or

indemnification arrangements. These cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where the Company has been named a PRP, management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. The Company expects that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
Enzo Biochem, Inc. and Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (collectively, “Enzo”) filed a complaint dated October 23, 2002 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Civil Action No. 02-8448, seeking injunctive and monetary relief against Amersham plc, Amersham BioSciences, PerkinElmer, Inc., PerkinElmer Life Sciences, Inc., Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, Sigma Chemical Company, Inc., Molecular Probes, Inc., and Orchid BioSciences, Inc. The complaint alleges that the Company breached its distributorship and settlement agreements with Enzo, infringed Enzo's patents, engaged in unfair competition and fraud, and committed torts against Enzo by, among other things, engaging in commercial development and exploitation of Enzo's patented products and technology, separately and together with the other defendants. The Company filed an answer and a counterclaim alleging that Enzo's patents are invalid. In 2007, after the court issued a decision in 2006 regarding the construction of the claims in Enzo's patents that effectively limited the coverage of certain of those claims and, the Company believes, excluded certain of the Company's products from the coverage of Enzo's patents, summary judgment motions were filed by the defendants. The case was assigned to a new district court judge in January 2009 and in March 2009, the new judge denied the pending summary judgment motions without prejudice and ordered a stay of the case until the federal appellate court decided Enzo's appeal of the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in Enzo Biochem vs. Applera Corp. and Tropix, Inc. (the “Connecticut Case”), which involved a number of the same patents and which could materially affect the scope of Enzo's case against the Company. In March 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed-in-part and reversed-in-part the judgment in the Connecticut Case. The district court permitted the Company and the other defendants to jointly file a motion for summary judgment on certain patent and other issues common to all of the defendants. On September 12, 2012, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company's motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On December 21, 2012, the Company filed a second motion for summary judgment on claims that were not addressed in the first motion, which the court also granted in part and denied in part. The Company expected this case to go to trial in March 2014 and incurred $0.1 million and $3.4 million of expenses in preparation for the trial during the three and six months ended June 29, 2014, respectively. Following a delay in the trial date, the Company subsequently entered into a settlement agreement with Enzo dated June 20, 2014 and in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 paid $7.0 million into a designated escrow account to resolve this matter, of which $3.7 million had been previously accrued.
The Company is also subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Although the Company has established accruals for potential losses that it believes are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based on its review of the information available at this time, the total cost of resolving these other contingencies at June 29, 2014 should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including the following management’s discussion and analysis, contains forward-looking information that you should read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that we have included elsewhere in this report. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the plans, intentions or expectations we disclose in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors below under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A. that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make. We are not obligated to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview
We are a leading provider of products, services and solutions to the diagnostics, research, environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets. Through our advanced technologies, solutions, and services, we address critical issues that help to improve the health and safety of people and their environment. The principal products and services of our two operating segments are:
Human Health.    Develops diagnostics, tools and applications to help detect diseases earlier and more accurately and to accelerate the discovery and development of critical new therapies. Our Human Health segment serves both the diagnostics and research markets.
Environmental Health.    Provides products, services and solutions to facilitate the creation of safer food and consumer products, more secure surroundings and efficient energy resources. Our Environmental Health segment serves the environmental, industrial and laboratory services markets.
Overview of the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2014
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. We report fiscal years under a 52/53 week format, and as a result certain fiscal years will contain 53 weeks. Both our 2014 and 2013 fiscal years include 52 weeks.
Our overall revenue in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $556.2 million and increased $15.5 million, or 3%, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, reflecting an increase of $10.2 million, or 3%, in our Human Health segment revenue and an increase of $5.3 million, or 2%, in our Environmental Health segment revenue. The increase in our Human Health segment revenue during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to growth generated from our newborn screening business within the diagnostics market. The increase in our Environmental Health segment revenue during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 was due to an increase in our service revenue, which included our OneSource multivendor service offerings within our laboratory service market.
In our Human Health segment during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, we experienced growth in the diagnostics market from continued expansion of our prenatal, newborn and infectious disease screening solutions in key regions outside the United States, particularly in emerging markets such as China. Birth rates continue to increase, as evidenced by prenatal trends we saw during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, and demand for greater access to newborn screening in rural areas is also increasing. Our medical imaging business increased during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 due to growth in industrial non-destructive testing and adoption of digital x-ray technology in radiography. In the research market we experienced slight declines due to weakness in the global academic end market specifically in Europe and China. China also experienced government funding delays due to regulatory reorganization and anti-corruption activities coupled with slower disbursement by provincial agencies that also negatively impacted the growth in the research market. As the rising cost of healthcare continues to be one of the critical issues facing our customers, we anticipate that the benefits of providing earlier detection of disease, which can result in savings of long-term health care costs as well as create better outcomes for patients, are increasingly valued and we expect to see continued growth in these markets.
In our Environmental Health segment, our laboratory services business offers services designed to enable our customers to increase efficiencies and production time, while reducing maintenance costs, all of which continue to be critical for our customers. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we continued to grow our laboratory services business, which included the addition of new customers to our OneSource multivendor service offering, while revenue across our products in the environmental and industrial markets declined slightly, partly due to government funding delays in China. We anticipate that the continued development of contaminant regulations and corresponding testing protocols will result in increased demand for efficient, analytically sensitive and information rich testing solutions.

Our consolidated gross margins decreased 11 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, due to unfavorable changes in product mix, with an increase in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, which were partially offset by increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives. Our consolidated operating margins increased 508 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, as compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, primarily due to cost containment and productivity initiatives, which were partially offset by lower gross margins.
We believe we are well positioned to continue to take advantage of the spending trends in our end markets and to promote our efficiencies in markets where current conditions may increase demand for certain services. Overall, we believe that our strategic focus on Human Health and Environmental Health coupled with our breadth of end markets, deep portfolio of technologies and applications, leading market positions, global scale and financial strength will provide us with a foundation for growth.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, warranty costs, bad debts, inventories, accounting for business combinations and dispositions, long-lived assets, income taxes, restructuring, pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are those policies that affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe our critical accounting policies include our policies regarding revenue recognition, warranty costs, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, business combinations, value of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangibles, employee compensation and benefits, restructuring activities, gains or losses on dispositions and income taxes.
For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to the Notes to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 (our “2013 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 29, 2014.

Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended June 29, 2014 was $556.2 million, as compared to $540.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $15.5 million, or 3%, which includes an approximate 1% increase in revenue attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 1% increase from acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue for the three months ended June 29, 2014 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Our Human Health segment revenue increased $10.2 million, or 3%, due to an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $12.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in research market revenue of $2.1 million. Our Environmental Health segment revenue increased $5.3 million, or 2%, due to an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $6.9 million, partially offset by decreases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $1.6 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $0.4 million of revenue for the three months ended June 29, 2014 and $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.
Revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2014 was $1,086.8 million, as compared to $1,043.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $43.2 million, or 4%, which includes an approximate 0.3% increase in revenue attributable to favorable changes in foreign exchange rates and an approximate 0.4% increase from acquisitions. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph compares segment revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2014 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 and includes the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Our Human Health segment revenue increased $29.5 million, or 5%, due to an increase in diagnostics market revenue of $23.9 million and an increase in research market revenue of $5.6 million. Our Environmental Health segment revenue increased $13.7 million, or 3%, due to an increase in laboratory services market revenue of $16.4 million, partially offset by decreases in environmental and industrial markets revenue of $2.7 million. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions

28

Table of Contents

required by business combination rules, we did not recognize $1.9 million of revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2014 and $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 that otherwise would have been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 29, 2014 was $308.2 million, as compared to $299.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $9.2 million, or 3%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 55.4% for the three months ended June 29, 2014, from 55.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of 11 basis points to 44.6% for the three months ended June 29, 2014, from 44.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $12.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013. Acquisition related costs were an expense of $0.02 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions was an expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the above items, the overall decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of unfavorable changes in product mix, with an increase in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, which were partially offset by increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives.
Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 29, 2014 was $603.1 million, as compared to $577.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $25.6 million, or 4%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of revenue increased to 55.5% for the six months ended June 29, 2014, from 55.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, resulting in a decrease in gross margin of 16 basis points to 44.5% for the six months ended June 29, 2014, from 44.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $25.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense was $0.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Acquisition related costs were an expense of $0.03 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions was an expense of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the above items, the overall decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of pricing pressure and unfavorable changes in product mix with an increase in sales of lower gross margin product offerings, partially offset by increased sales volume and cost containment and productivity initiatives.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2014 were $147.3 million, as compared to $147.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.4%. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased and were 26.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to 27.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $8.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $4.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Significant settlement and litigation expenses related to a particular case were $3.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs decreased expenses by $1.5 million for the three months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to an incremental expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the above items, the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of cost containment and productivity initiatives.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 29, 2014 were $299.7 million, as compared to $298.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.5%. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased and were 27.6% for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to 28.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Amortization of intangible assets decreased and was $16.0 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $19.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense increased and was $8.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Significant settlement and litigation expenses related to a particular case were $6.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014. Acquisition related costs for contingent consideration and other acquisition costs decreased expenses by $1.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to an incremental expense of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the above items, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of costs related to growth and productivity investments, particularly in emerging territories, partially offset by cost containment and productivity initiatives.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2014 were $30.4 million, as compared to $34.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 12%. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased and were 5.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to 6.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Stock-based compensation expense was $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013. In addition to the above items, the decrease in research and development expenses was primarily the result of the consolidation of research and development activities into our newly opened Center for Innovation. During the first six months of both fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013, we directed research and development efforts toward the diagnostics and research markets within our Human Health segment, and the environmental, industrial and laboratory service markets within our Environmental Health segment, in order to help accelerate our growth initiatives.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 29, 2014 were $59.7 million, as compared to $68.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $8.7 million, or 13%. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses decreased and were 5.5% for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Stock-based compensation expense was $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 29, 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the above items, the decrease in research and development expenses was primarily the result of the consolidation of research and development activities into our newly opened Center for Innovation.

Restructuring and Contract Termination Charges, Net
We have undertaken a series of restructuring actions related to the impact of acquisitions and divestitures, alignment with our growth strategy, the integration of our business units and productivity initiatives. The current portion of restructuring and contract termination charges is recorded in accrued restructuring and contract termination charges and the long-term portion of restructuring and contract termination charges is recorded in long-term liabilities. The activities associated with these plans have been reported as restructuring and contract termination charges, net, and are included as a component of operating expenses from continuing operations.
A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded for the six months ended June 29, 2014 is listed below. Details of the plans initiated in previous years, particularly those listed under “Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans,” are discussed more fully in Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2013 Form 10-K.
The restructuring plans for the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were principally intended to focus resources on higher growth end markets. The restructuring plans for the fourth and third quarters of fiscal year 2013 were principally intended to shift certain of our research and development resources into a newly opened Center for Innovation. The restructuring plan for the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 was principally intended to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center as well as realign operations, research and development resources and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions. We expect the impact of future cost savings on operating results and cash flows from the restructuring activities executed in fiscal year 2013 will exceed $9.0 million annually beginning in fiscal year 2015. The future cost savings will be primarily a decrease to research and development expenses.

A description of the restructuring plans and the activity recorded are as follows:

Q2 2014 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, our management approved a plan to focus resources on higher growth end markets (the “Q2 2014 Plan”).

Q2 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved a plan principally intended to shift certain of our operations into a newly established shared service center as well as realign operations, research and development resources, and production resources as a result of previous acquisitions (the “Q2 2013 Plan”). As a result of the Q2 2013 Plan, we initially recognized a $9.9 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space, and recognized a $8.8 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and the closure of excess facility space. Subsequent to the initial charge, during fiscal year 2013, we recorded an additional $0.6 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment for services that were provided for one-time benefits in which the employee was required to render service beyond the legal notification period. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, we recorded additional pre-tax restructuring charges of $0.1 million in each of our Human Health and Environmental Health segments due to higher than expected costs associated with the closure of the excess facility space. As part of the Q2 2013 Plan, we reduced headcount by 264 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q2 2013 Plan by June 30, 2013.

We anticipate that the remaining severance payments of $5.0 million for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, as local law requires some severance to be paid in monthly installments through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. We also anticipate that the remaining payments of $0.05 million for the closure of the excess facility space will be paid through the third quarter of 2014, in accordance with the terms of the applicable lease.

Q1 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, our management approved a plan to focus resources on higher growth end markets (the “Q1 2013 Plan”). As a result of the Q1 2013 Plan, we recognized a $2.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Human Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities and recognized a $0.2 million pre-tax restructuring charge in our Environmental Health segment related to a workforce reduction from reorganization activities. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring reversal of $0.2 million in our Human Health segment due to lower than expected costs associated with the remaining severance payments. As part of the Q1 2013 Plan, we reduced headcount by 62 employees. All employees were notified of termination under the Q1 2013 Plan by March 31, 2013.

Previous Restructuring and Integration Plans
The principal actions of the restructuring and integration plans from fiscal year 2001 through fiscal year 2012 were workforce reductions and the closure of excess facility space related to the integration of our businesses in order to realign operations, reduce costs, achieve operational efficiencies and shift resources into geographic regions and end markets that are more consistent with our growth strategy. During the six months ended June 29, 2014, we paid $3.6 million related to these plans and recorded an additional charge of $0.1 million related to higher than expected costs associated with workforce reductions within our Human Health Segment. As of June 29, 2014, we had $9.7 million of remaining liabilities associated with these restructuring and integration plans, primarily for residual lease obligations related to closed facilities and remaining severance payments for workforce reductions in both our Human Health and Environmental Health segments. We expect to make payments for these leases, the terms of which vary in length, through fiscal year 2022. We anticipate the remaining severance payments for workforce reductions will be substantially completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, as local law requires some severance to be paid in monthly installments through the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Contract Termination Charges
We have terminated various contractual commitments in connection with certain disposal activities and have recorded charges, to the extent applicable, for the costs of terminating these contracts before the end of their terms and the costs that will continue to be incurred for the remaining terms without economic benefit to us. We recorded an additional pre-tax charge of $1.5 million, primarily as a result of terminating various contractual commitments in our Environmental Health segment, and we made payments for these obligations of $1.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. The remaining balance of these accruals as of June 29, 2014 was $0.6 million.

due to a decrease in interest expense, which was partially offset by an increase in other expense, net. Interest expense decreased by $5.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to an increased mix of variable rate debt with lower interest rates and lower debt balances. Other expense, net increased by $0.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, and consisted primarily of expenses related to foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation.
