ABBOTT PARK, Ill., July 16, 2026 - Abbott today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

•Second-quarter sales increased 13.0 percent on a reported basis and 4.8 percent on a comparable basis.
•Second-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $0.53 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.31, which excludes specified items.
•Abbott reaffirms full-year 2026 comparable sales growth guidance of 6.5% to 7.5%1.
•Abbott raises full-year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range to $5.45 to $5.60, compared to previous range of $5.38 to $5.58.
•In April, Abbott completed enrollment in its TECTONIC U.S. pivotal trial. This trial is designed to evaluate Abbott's investigational Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy (IVL) System for treating severe calcification in coronary arteries prior to stent implantation.
•In April, at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) conference, Abbott presented new late-breaking data from four clinical trials that demonstrated strong clinical outcomes across the company's pulsed field ablation (PFA) and conduction system pacing (CSP) portfolios.
•In May, Abbott announced it secured CE Mark for Libre® Duo, the world's first dual glucose-ketone biowearable sensor. By providing real-time visibility into glucose and ketone levels, this new technology helps optimize the management of diabetes by detecting rising ketone levels, which can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious health condition for people with diabetes.
•In May, Abbott completed its submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking approval for the company's Amulet™ 360 left atrial appendage (LAA) device.
•In May, the American Cancer Society (ACS) issued updated colorectal cancer (CRC) screening guidelines that reaffirmed Cologuard® and Cologuard Plus® as preferred screening options for adults age 45 and older who are at average risk for CRC.

"Our second-quarter results reflect the momentum we are building," said Robert B. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "We expect this momentum to continue and drive accelerating sales and earnings growth in the second half of the year."

SECOND-QUARTER BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Comparable sales growth:
Management believes that measuring sales growth on a comparable basis is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the underlying performance of the business. Comparable sales growth includes the prior and current year sales of Exact Sciences, a cancer diagnostics company that Abbott acquired on March 23, 2026. Comparable sales growth excludes the impact of foreign exchange and revenue in both the prior and current year related to compensation payments that Abbott's Structural Heart business received as part of a multi-year agreement with a competitor. The final payment under this agreement was recognized in the first quarter of 2026.

Note: In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.

Abbott has not provided the related GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the timing and impact of certain items such as restructuring and cost reduction initiatives, charges for intangible asset impairments, acquisition-related expenses, and foreign exchange, which could significantly impact Abbott's results in accordance with GAAP.
