Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (“Edwards Lifesciences,” “Edwards,” or the “Company”) conducts operations worldwide and is managed in the following geographical regions: United States, Europe, Japan, and Rest of World. Edwards Lifesciences is focused on technologies that treat structural heart disease. The products and technologies provided by Edwards Lifesciences are categorized into the following main groups: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (“TAVR”), Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (“TMTT”), and Surgical Structural Heart (“Surgical”). On December 18, 2025, the Company sold a business that was not focused on implantable medical innovations for structural heart diseases (the “non-core product group”) and on September 3, 2024, the Company sold its Critical Care product group ("Critical Care"). The historical results of Critical Care and the non-core product group (collectively, the “discontinued product groups”) are reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the applicable periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements refer only to Edwards Lifesciences' continuing operations. For further information, see Note 5.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edwards Lifesciences, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For further information, see Note 9. The Company attributes the net income or losses of its consolidated VIEs to controlling and noncontrolling interests using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current period.

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements of Edwards Lifesciences have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which have been applied consistently in all material respects. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

When the local currency of the Company's foreign entities is the functional currency, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rate prevailing during the period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments for these entities are deferred and reported in stockholders' equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The effects of foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are included in Other Non-operating Income, net.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services.

The Company generates nearly all of its revenue from direct product sales and sales of products under consignment arrangements. Revenue from direct product sales is recognized at a point in time when the

performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of the product. Revenue from sales of consigned inventory is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied once the product has been implanted or used by the customer. The Company periodically reviews consignment inventories to confirm the accuracy of customer reporting. Sales taxes and other similar taxes that the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company does not typically have any significant unusual payment terms beyond 90 days in its contracts with customers.

The amount of consideration the Company ultimately receives varies depending upon the return terms, sales rebates, discounts, and other incentives that the Company may offer, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely upon an assessment of historical payment experience, historical relationship to revenues, estimated customer inventory levels, and current contract sales terms with direct and indirect customers.

The Company's sales adjustment related to distributor rebates given to the Company's distributors represents the difference between the Company's sales price to the distributor and the negotiated price to be paid by the end-customer. This distributor rebate is recorded as a reduction to sales and a reduction to the distributor's accounts receivable at the time of sale to a distributor. The Company periodically monitors current pricing trends and distributor inventory levels to ensure the credit for future distributor rebates is fairly stated.

The Company offers volume rebates to certain group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) and customers based upon targeted sales levels. Volume rebates offered to GPOs are recorded as a reduction to sales and an obligation to the GPOs, as the Company expects to pay in cash. Volume rebates offered to customers are recorded as a reduction to sales and either a reduction to accounts receivable if the Company expects a net payment from the customer, or as an obligation to the customer if the Company expects to pay in cash. The provision for volume rebates is estimated based upon customers' contracted rebate programs, projected sales levels, and historical experience of rebates paid. The Company periodically monitors its customer rebate programs to ensure that the allowance and liability for accrued rebates is fairly stated.

Product returns are typically not significant because returns are generally not allowed unless the product is damaged at the time of receipt. In limited circumstances, the Company may allow customers to return previously purchased products, such as for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, the Company defers recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer.

A limited number of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price charged to other customers.

The Company applies the optional exemption of not disclosing the amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping costs, which are costs incurred to physically move product from the Company's premises or third party distribution centers, including storage, to the customer's premises, are included in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Handling costs, which are costs incurred to store at the Company's premises, move, and prepare products for shipment, are included in Cost of Sales. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, shipping costs of $72.6 million, $83.9 million, and $94.5 million, respectively, were included in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These investments are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.

Investments

The Company invests its excess cash in debt securities, including time deposits, commercial paper, United States government and agency securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, and municipal debt securities. Investments with maturities of one year or less are classified as short-term, and investments with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term. Investments that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investments in debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date.

The Company also has long-term equity investments in companies that are in various stages of development. These investments are reported at fair value or under the equity method of accounting, as appropriate. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability corporations, whereby the Company owns a minimum of 5% of the investee's outstanding voting stock, under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded at the amount of the Company's investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss, and dividends paid.

Realized gains and losses on investments that are sold are determined using the specific identification method, or the first-in, first-out method, depending on the investment type, and recorded to Other Non-operating Income, net. Income relating to investments in debt securities is recorded to Interest Income.

Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are considered impaired when there is an indication that the fair value of the Company's interest is less than the carrying amount. Equity method investments are considered impaired when there is an indication of an other-than-temporary decline in value below the carrying amount. Impairments of equity investments are recorded in Other Non-operating Income, net.

Debt securities in an unrealized loss position are written down to fair value through Other Non-operating Income, net if the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company assesses whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the security's fair value has been below cost, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. When a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security to the amortized cost basis of the security to determine the allowance amount that should be recorded, if any.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable arise from direct product sales and sales of products under consignment arrangements, and have payment terms that generally require payment within 30 to 90 days. The Company does not adjust its receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if collection of the receivable is expected within one year or less from the time of sale. In countries where the Company has experienced a pattern of payments extending beyond the stated terms and collection of the receivable is expected beyond one year from the time of sale, the Company assesses whether the customer has a significant financing component and discounts the receivable and reduces the related revenues over the period of time that the Company estimates those amounts will be paid using the country’s market-based borrowing rate for such period.

The Company provides reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay based on customer-specific analysis and general matters such as current assessments of past due balances, economic conditions and forecasts, and historical credit loss activity. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Market value for raw materials is based on replacement costs, and for other inventory classifications is based on net realizable value.

A write-down for excess or slow moving inventory is recorded for inventory that is obsolete, damaged, nearing its expiration date (generally triggered at six months prior to expiration), or slow moving (generally defined as quantities in excess of a two-year supply).

The Company allocates general and administrative costs that are related to the production process to inventory. These costs include insurance, manufacturing accounting and human resources personnel, and information technology. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company allocated $80.2 million, $84.2 million, and $78.0 million, respectively, of general and administrative costs to inventory. General and administrative costs included in inventory at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $36.9 million and $44.0 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, $225.1 million and $181.7 million, respectively, of the Company's finished goods inventories were held on consignment.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is principally calculated for financial reporting purposes on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, and from 3 to 5 years for software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related facility leases or the asset, whichever is shorter. Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for income tax purposes. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the asset is ready for its intended use.

Depreciation expense for property, plant, and equipment was $148.2 million, $137.6 million, and $119.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Leases

The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are

recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term as the associated lease. Right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and any initial direct costs incurred, and exclude any lease incentives received.

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet. Certain of the Company’s leases include variable lease payments that are based on costs incurred or actual usage, or adjusted periodically based on an index or a rate. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees.

The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all of its leases except vehicle leases, for which the lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Note 7.

Business Combinations

Businesses that the Company acquires are included in its results of operations as of the acquisition date. The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. Contingent consideration obligations incurred in connection with a business combination are recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date and remeasured on a quarterly basis, with changes in their fair value recorded as an adjustment to earnings, until the related contingencies have been resolved. When the assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business combination, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, the cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Upfront payments related to in-process research and development projects with no alternative future use are expensed upon acquisition.

Contingent Consideration

The Company records contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined based primarily on the following factors:

•discount rates used to present value the projected cash flows;

•the probability of success of clinical events and regulatory approvals, and/or meeting commercial milestones; and

•projected payment dates.

On a quarterly basis, the Company remeasures these obligations and records changes in their fair value as an adjustment to earnings. Changes to contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments to discount rates, accretion of the discount rates due to the passage of time, changes in the Company’s estimates of the likelihood or timing of achieving development or commercial milestones, changes in the probability of certain clinical events, or changes in the assumed probability associated with regulatory approval.

The assumptions related to determining the value of contingent consideration include a significant amount of judgment, and any changes in the underlying estimates could have a material impact on the amount of contingent consideration expense recorded in any given period.

Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

The Company acquires intangible assets in connection with business combinations and asset purchases. The acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The determination of fair value requires significant estimates, including, but not limited to, projected revenues, projected gross margins, the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows, the assessment of the asset's life cycle, including the timing and expected costs to complete in-process projects, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. Discount rates may vary across acquisitions based on the purchase price, forecasts, and relative risks of each acquired company.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. The Company determined, after performing a qualitative review of each reporting unit, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units substantially exceeds the respective carrying amounts. Accordingly, in 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment loss.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets relate to in-process research and development acquired in business combinations. The estimated fair values of in-process research and development projects acquired in a business combination which have not reached technological feasibility are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of the project, the capitalized amount is amortized over its estimated useful life. If the project is abandoned, all remaining capitalized amounts are written off immediately. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. In-process research and development projects acquired in an asset acquisition are expensed unless the project has an alternative future use.

Management reviews the carrying amounts of other finite-lived intangible assets and long-lived tangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit, and adverse legal or regulatory developments. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities.

In 2025, the Company recorded a $40.0 million impairment loss related to certain developed technology assets. In 2024, the Company did not record any impairment loss related to its intangible assets. For further information, see Note 11.

Income Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that a position would more likely than not be sustained based upon its technical merit if challenged by the relevant taxing authority and taken by management to the court of last resort. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the United States tax effects of global intangible low-taxed income as a component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The Company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and adjusting the amount, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are both historical experience and the Company's forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate on future earnings.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include employee equity share options, nonvested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The table below presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except for per share information):

Outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units, and unvested market-based restricted stock units to purchase approximately 8.1 million, 8.4 million, and 6.6 million shares for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values. Stock-based awards consist of stock options, restricted stock units (service-based and market-based), and employee stock purchase subscriptions. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over each award's requisite service period (vesting period) on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock units, the Company issues common stock.

Total stock-based compensation expense was as follows (in millions):


	Years Ended December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
Cost of sales	$	28.9	$	26.7	$	20.6
Selling, general, and administrative expenses	88.8		82.5		74.0
Research and development expenses	40.2		36.4		30.2
Total stock-based compensation expense	157.9		145.6		124.8
Income tax benefit	(28.0)		(24.8)		(21.8)
Total stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	129.9	$	120.8	$	103.0

Upon a participant's retirement, all unvested stock options are immediately forfeited. In addition, upon retirement, a participant will immediately vest in 25% of service-based restricted stock units for each full year of employment with the Company measured from the grant date. All remaining unvested service-based restricted stock units are immediately forfeited. For market-based restricted stock units, upon retirement and in certain other specified cases, a participant will receive a pro-rated portion of the shares that would ultimately be issued based on attainment of the performance goals as determined on the vesting date. The pro-rated portion is based on the participant's whole months of service with the Company during the performance period prior to the date of termination.

Derivatives

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exchange rate risk and its interest rate risk. It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Derivative financial instruments involve credit risk in the event the counterparty should default. The Company diversifies its derivative financial instruments among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. The Company also uses International Swap Dealers Association master-netting agreements. The master-netting agreements provide for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default, as defined by the agreements.

The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to manage its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates from (1) future cash flows associated with intercompany transactions and certain local currency expenses expected to occur within approximately 1.5 years (designated as cash flow hedges), (2) its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries (designated as net investment hedges) and (3) foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities (designated as fair value hedges). The Company also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to offset the transaction gains and losses associated with the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies, resulting principally from intercompany and local currency transactions.

All derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. For each derivative instrument that is designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recognized immediately to earnings, and offsets the loss or gain on the underlying hedged item. The Company reports in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss the gain or loss on derivative financial instruments that are designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassifies these gains and losses into earnings in the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment and would be reclassified into earnings if the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. The portion of the change in fair value related to components excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment are amortized into earnings over the life of the derivative. The gains and losses on derivative financial instruments for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in

each period based upon the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument. Upon settlement, cash flows from net investment hedges are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and cash flows from all other derivative financial instruments are reported as operating activities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09 on income taxes which requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disaggregated disclosures about income taxes paid. This guidance requires public entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2025 and applied the guidance prospectively. For further information, see Note 19.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 on derivatives and hedging and revenue from contracts with customers. The amendment provides clarity on application of derivative accounting to certain nonexchange-traded contracts with features based on operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those periods and can be applied on a prospective or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 on internal-use software related to accounting for internal-use software costs. The amendment in this update improve the operability of the guidance by clarifying the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied on a fully prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on income statement presentation to require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption within continuing operations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT AND CERTAIN LITIGATION EXPENSES	3. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT AND CERTAIN LITIGATION EXPENSES The Company incurred intellectual property litigation expenses, settlements, and external legal costs of $325.4 million, $40.4 million and $203.5 million during 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For further information, see Note 9 and Note 20. On April 12, 2023, Edwards entered into an intellectual property agreement (the “Intellectual Property Agreement”) with Medtronic, Inc. (“Medtronic”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to a 15-year global covenant not to sue (“CNS”) for infringement of certain patents in the structural heart space owned or controlled by each other. In consideration for the global CNS and related mutual access to certain intellectual property rights, Edwards paid to Medtronic a one-time, lump sum payment of $300.0 million and is making annual royalty payments that are tied to net sales of certain Edwards products. Based upon the terms of the Intellectual Property Agreement, the Company identified the relevant elements for accounting purposes and allocated the $300.0 million upfront payment based on their respective fair values. The Company recorded a $37.0 million pre-tax charge in Certain Litigation Expenses in March 2023 primarily related to prior commercial sales incurred through March 31, 2023. The Company recorded a prepaid royalty asset of $124.0 million in April 2023 related to future commercial sales, which is amortized to expense over the term of the Intellectual Property Agreement. Separately, the Company recorded a $139.0 million pre-tax charge in Certain Litigation Expenses in April 2023 related to products currently in development. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the prepaid royalty asset balance was $101.6 million and $109.9 million, respectively, included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 18, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its non-core product group for $81.8 million up-front consideration (net cash proceeds of $78.8 million), resulting in a gain of $36.9 million (included in Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax). The transaction included additional potential earnouts of up to $40 million. In connection with the sale of its non-core product group, the Company entered into a transition services agreement (“TSA”) to provide certain support services for up to one year from the closing date of the sale (with certain extension rights as provided therein), the impact of which is not expected to be material. On September 3, 2024, the Company completed the sale of Critical Care to BD for $4.2 billion resulting in a gain of $3.3 billion (included in Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax). The discontinued product groups were historically reported in each of the Company's segments (United States, Europe, Japan, and Rest of World).

The Company concluded that the non-core product group met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale in September 2024 and that Critical Care met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale in June 2024. The Company determined that, when considered together, the conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met with respect to the discontinued product groups. A component of an entity is reported in discontinued operations after meeting the criteria for held-for-sale classification if the disposition represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the discontinued product groups, including their significance to the Company’s overall net income and total assets, and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation were met. As such, the historical financial condition and results of the discontinued product groups have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The assets and liabilities associated with

discontinued product groups are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of the year ended December 31, 2024.

In connection with the sale of Critical Care, the Company entered into a TSA to provide certain support services for up to 36 months from the closing date of the sale (with certain extension rights as provided therein). These support services may be in the areas of accounting, information technology, human resources, quality assurance, regulatory affairs, customer support, and global supply chain, among others. In connection with the TSA, the Company recognized an unfavorable contract liability of $115.1 million that will be recognized over the TSA term. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the remaining unfavorable contract liability was $37.3 million and $88.8 million, respectively, included in Accrued and Other Liabilities and Other Liabilities.

In addition, Edwards and BD entered into other agreements to provide a framework for the ongoing activities between the Company and BD after the sale and until the end of the TSA including, but not limited to, interim operating model agreements to support the commercial operations until there has been a full transfer of all regulatory licenses to BD and completion of services under the TSA agreement, a manufacturing and supply agreement, and a quality agreement. Under these agreements, the Company will continue to provide certain services to BD during the term of these agreements including serving as an undisclosed selling and purchasing agent for the Critical Care business on behalf of BD for a period of up to 36 months following completion of the sale of Critical Care.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a net payable of approximately $123.4 million and a net receivable of approximately $28.8 million, respectively, from BD related to the services under the agreements. The Company recorded income from the TSA of $63.7 million and $30.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recorded in Other Operating Income on the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid BD $36.3 million for certain working capital adjustments in connection with the sale of Critical Care.

The Company reviews its investments in debt securities to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including the credit quality of the security's issuer, (2) the Company's intent to sell the security, and (3) whether it is more likely than not the Company will have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. The unrealized losses on the debt securities were largely due to changes in interest rates, not credit quality, and as of December 31, 2025, the Company did not intend to sell the securities, and it was not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the unrealized losses, and, therefore, the unrealized losses are considered temporary.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company has a number of equity investments in unconsolidated entities. These investments are recorded in Long-term Investments on the consolidated balance sheets, and are as follows (in millions):

Equity method investments

Carrying value of marketable equity securities	7.1		5.5
Carrying value of non-marketable equity securities	185.5		119.1
Total investments in unconsolidated entities	$	227.3	$	159.4

The Company makes equity investments in limited liability companies that invest in qualified community development entities through the New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program. The NMTC program provides federal

tax incentives to investors to make investments in distressed communities and promotes economic improvements through the development of successful businesses in these communities. The NMTC is equal to 39% of the qualified investment and is taken over seven years. These limited liability companies are VIEs. The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs, and, therefore, the Company does not consolidate these entities. Instead, the NMTC investments are accounted for using the proportional amortization method and included within the equity method investments above.

Marketable equity securities consist of investments with readily determinable fair values over which we do not own a controlling interest or exercise significant influence. Non-marketable equity securities consist of investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values, and are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. During 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded an upward adjustment of $0.1 million and $0.5 million and a downward adjustment of $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, due to observable price changes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had recorded cumulative upward adjustments of $9.4 million based on observable price changes, and cumulative downward adjustments of $7.9 million due to impairments and observable price changes.

During 2025, 2024, and 2023, the gross realized gains or losses from sales of available-for-sale investments were not material.

INVESTMENTS IN VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

9. INVESTMENTS IN VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company reviews its investments in other entities to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The Company would be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and would be required to consolidate the VIE, if it has the power to direct the significant activities of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that may be significant to the VIE. The Company's maximum loss exposure to VIEs, prior to the exercise of options to acquire the entities, is limited to its investment in the VIEs, which include equity investments, options to acquire, and promissory notes.

Unconsolidated VIEs

Edwards has relationships with various VIEs that it does not consolidate as Edwards lacks the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic success of these entities.

In July 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“the Merger Agreement”) to acquire JenaValve Technology, Inc. (“JenaValve”). Concurrently, the Company entered into a Promissory Note agreement (the “Bridge Loan”) under which it agreed to provide funding to JenaValve for up to $75.0 million, with an automatic funding extension of up to an additional $30.0 million through January 23, 2026, provided the Merger Agreement remained in effect. The Merger Agreement also included a certain termination clause requiring the Company, under certain circumstances, to forgive the outstanding Bridge Loan and invest in an up to $45.0 million convertible promissory note.

On August 6, 2025, the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) moved to block the proposed acquisition of JenaValve, alleging anticompetitive concerns. On January 9, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the motion from the FTC for an injunction blocking the acquisition of JenaValve. On January 14, 2026, the Company and JenaValve entered into an incremental agreement terminating the Merger Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded these costs within Intellectual Property Agreement and Certain Litigation Expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. For further information, see Note 3 and Note 20. In connection with closing the JenaValve FTC litigation and subject to approval by the federal district court, the Company has accrued for a payment and has agreed to certain other conditions to resolve a dispute with the FTC regarding its decision not to file a Hart Scott Rodino notice for its acquisition of JC Medical, Inc.

In December 2025, the Company also recorded an impairment loss on JenaValve’s Bridge Loan of $99.8 million, including accrued interest. The charge is presented in Loss on Impairment within non-operating income on the consolidated statement of operations. In January 2026, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company invested in a convertible promissory note of $45.0 million.

In August 2022, the Company entered into an option agreement with a medical device company. Under the option agreement, the Company paid $47.1 million for an option to acquire the medical device company, which was included in Other Assets on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. In June 2025, the Company decided not to exercise its option to acquire the medical device company due to slower than anticipated progress by the medical device company toward achieving commercialization of the product. As a result, the Company recognized a $47.1 million loss on impairment, included in Loss on Impairment within non-operating income on the consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a simple agreement for future equity where it invested $10.0 million in the medical device company’s stock (included in Long-term Investments).

In April 2021, the Company entered into a secured promissory note agreement, a preferred stock purchase agreement, and an option agreement with a privately-held medical device company (the “Investee”). The secured promissory note provides for borrowings up to $45.0 million. In 2025, the Company invested $3.0 million in the Investee's preferred equity securities, $6.6 million for the option to acquire the Investee, and entered into a subordinated convertible promissory note agreement to advance $15.0 million. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had invested $45.8 million and $42.8 million, respectively, in the Investee's preferred equity securities (included in Long-term Investments), had paid $27.5 million and $20.9 million, respectively, for the option to acquire the Investee (included in Other Assets), and had advanced a total of $60.0 million and $45.0 million, respectively, under the promissory notes (included in Other Assets).

In December 2024, the Company entered into an option agreement and an amended preferred stock purchase agreement with a medical technology company. The Company had previously made an investment in preferred equity securities of the medical technology company under a prior preferred stock purchase agreement in 2021. In 2025, under the terms of the agreements, the Company paid $10.0 million for the option and invested $15.0 million in the medical technology company’s preferred equity securities upon the medical technology company’s achievement of a pre-defined milestone. The Company also agreed to loan the medical technology company up to $40.0 million under a promissory note agreement upon the medical technology company's achievement of certain milestones, of which $10.0 million was advanced in 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had invested $35.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in the medical technology company's preferred equity securities (included in Long-term Investments), $40.0 million and $30.0 million, respectively, in the option to acquire the medical technology company, and advanced $10.0 million under the promissory note agreement (included in Other Assets).

In February 2019, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with a medical device company and paid $35.0 million for an option to acquire the medical device company. In June 2022, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with the medical device company. Under the convertible promissory note agreement, the Company agreed to loan the medical device company up to $47.5 million. In June 2025, the Company entered into a new convertible promissory note agreement to loan the medical device company up to $30.0 million and amended its warrant agreement to provide the Company with the option to extend the warrant right period for consideration of $16.5 million. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had advanced $77.5 million and $47.5 million, respectively, under the promissory notes (included in Other Assets). The $35.0 million for the option was included in Other Assets as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

In June 2025, the Company entered into a preferred share purchase agreement with a medical solutions company, under which the Company invested $30.0 million in the medical solutions company's preferred equity securities (included in Long-term Investments).

In addition, Edwards has made equity investments through the NMTC program in limited liability companies that are considered VIEs. For further information, see Note 8.

Purchase of noncontrolling interest

In February 2023, the Company acquired a majority equity interest in Vectorious Medical Technologies (“Vectorious”) pursuant to a preferred stock purchase agreement, and amended and restated a previous option agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest. Edwards concluded that it was the primary beneficiary and consolidated Vectorious. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company acquired the remaining noncontrolling interest of Vectorious for $233.7 million, increasing the Company's total ownership from 61% to 100%. The acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction as there was no change in control. The carrying value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $60.4 million. The difference between the fair value of consideration paid and the carrying value was recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital of $173.3 million. No gain or loss was recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

10. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Innovalve Bio Medical Ltd.

On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired all the remaining outstanding shares of Innovalve Bio Medical Ltd.

(“Innovalve”). Innovalve is a developer of a minimally-invasive, catheterization-based procedure, to perform replacement of the mitral valve. The acquisition was completed primarily to expand the Company's transcatheter mitral valve replacement technologies to address large unmet structural heart patient needs and support sustainable long-term growth.

Prior to the acquisition date, the Company had previously paid $30.0 million for an option to acquire Innovalve, which was historically recorded in Other Assets using the measurement alternative for fair value, and had an existing preferred stock investment in Innovalve of $3.5 million, which represented an ownership interest in Innovalve of approximately 4% (collectively, the “previously held equity interest in Innovalve”). In July 2024, the Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining equity interest in Innovalve, which was accounted for as a step acquisition at the time of closing in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquired company to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based upon their preliminary estimated fair values. The Company remeasured the previously held equity interest in Innovalve to its fair value based upon a valuation of the acquired business, as of the date of acquisition. The Company considered multiple factors in determining the fair value of the previously held equity interest in Innovalve, including, (i) the price negotiated with the selling shareholders for the remaining 96% interest in Innovalve and (ii) an income approach valuation model. As a result of the remeasurement of the previously held equity interest in Innovalve, the Company recognized a gain of $30.5 million in Other Non-operating Income, net during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Innovalve was $380.9 million, which consisted of cash consideration of $298.2 million (net of cash acquired of $21.1 million), the fair value of the Company's previously held equity interest in Innovalve of $64.6 million, the settlement of pre-existing relationships of $5.4 million, and the

fair value of contingent consideration of $12.7 million relating to the Company's agreement to pay an additional $25 million in a pre-specified milestone-driven payment that is dependent on the receipt of pre-market approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration for a class III medical device on or prior to the five-year anniversary of the acquisition date. For further information, see Note 13.

In connection with the acquisition of Innovalve, the Company placed $34.6 million of the cash consideration paid at closing into escrow to satisfy any claims for indemnification made in accordance with the merger agreement and for purchase price adjustments as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs of $2.3 million were recorded in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the final fair value of consideration transferred and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):


Cash consideration paid at closing	$	319.3
Settlement of pre-existing relationships	5.4
Fair value of previously held equity interest in Innovalve	64.6
Fair value of contingent consideration	12.7
Total purchase price	402.0
Less: cash acquired	(21.1)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	380.9

Current assets	$	26.5
Property and equipment, net	1.2
Goodwill	205.4
In-process research and development	218.4




Liabilities assumed	(8.2)
Deferred tax liabilities	(41.3)
Net assets acquired	402.0
Less: cash acquired	(21.1)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	380.9

Goodwill includes Innovalve's assembled workforce and expected synergies the Company believes will result from the acquisition. Additionally, goodwill reflects the value attributed to future iterations of the in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), potential future technologies, and future customer relationships. Goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Rest of World segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. IPR&D has been capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and will be assessed for impairment in subsequent periods. The fair value of the IPR&D was determined using the income approach. This approach determines fair value based on cash flow projections which are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate of return. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the IPR&D was 10.5%, which was developed considering the technical and feasibility risk present in Innovalve's forecast. Completion of successful design developments, bench testing, pre-clinical studies and human clinical studies are required prior to selling any product. The risks and uncertainties associated with completing development within a reasonable period of time include those related to the design, development, and manufacturability of the product, the success of pre-clinical and clinical studies, and the timing of regulatory approvals. The valuation assumed $74.3 million of additional research and development expenditures would be incurred prior to the date of product introduction. In the valuation, net cash inflows were modeled to commence in the United States in 2028, Europe in 2029, and Japan in 2030. Upon completion of development, the underlying research and development asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life.

The results of operations for Innovalve have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results have not been presented as the results of Innovalve are not material in relation to the consolidated financial statements of Edwards Lifesciences.

Endotronix, Inc.

On August 19, 2024, the Company acquired all the remaining outstanding shares of Endotronix, Inc. (“Endotronix”). Endotronix is a developer of an implantable sensor for management of heart failure patients. The acquisition was completed primarily to expand the Company's structural heart portfolio into a new therapeutic area to address the large unmet needs of patients suffering from heart failure.

Prior to the acquisition date, the Company had previously paid $60.0 million for an option to acquire Endotronix, which was historically recorded in Other Assets using the measurement alternative for fair value, and had an existing preferred stock investment in Endotronix of $10.0 million, which represented an ownership interest in Endotronix of approximately 7% (collectively, the “previously held equity interest in Endotronix”). In July 2024, the Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining equity interest in Endotronix which was accounted for as a step acquisition in accordance with authoritative guidance on accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquired company to the net tangible assets and intangible assets acquired based upon their preliminary estimated fair values. The Company remeasured the previously held equity interest in Endotronix to its fair value, as of the date of acquisition. The Company considered multiple factors in determining the fair value of the previously held equity interest in Endotronix, including, (i) the price negotiated with the selling shareholders for the remaining 93% interest in Endotronix and (ii) an income approach valuation model. As a result of the remeasurement of the previously held equity interest in Endotronix, the Company recognized a gain of $24.6 million in Other income, net during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The purchase consideration for the acquisition of Endotronix was $798.8 million, which consisted of cash consideration of $649.1 million (net of cash acquired of $1.2 million), the fair value of the Company's previously held equity interest in Endotronix of $94.6 million, and the settlement of pre-existing relationships of $53.1 million. In addition, the Company agreed to pay an additional $2.0 million in a pre-specified milestone-driven payment that is dependent on the receipt of CE Mark approval for the CorPASS. For further information, see Note 13.

In connection with the acquisition of Endotronix, the Company placed $35.0 million of the cash consideration paid at closing into escrow to satisfy any claims for indemnification made in accordance with the merger agreement and for purchase price adjustments as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs of $6.0 million were recorded in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses during the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company finalized the purchase price accounting and recorded a measurement period adjustment of $15.1 million to decrease goodwill and increase deferred tax assets (included in Other Assets). This adjustment reflects information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and was recognized within the one-year measurement period.

The following table summarizes the final fair value of consideration transferred and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):



Cash consideration paid at closing	$	650.3
Settlement of pre-existing relationships	53.1
Fair value of previously held equity interest in Endotronix	94.6
Fair value of contingent consideration	2.0
Total purchase price	800.0
Less: cash acquired	(1.2)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	798.8

Current assets	$	7.7
Property and equipment, net	12.6
Goodwill	367.7
In-process research and development	68.9
Developed technology	388.9
Operating lease right-of-use assets	9.9

Other assets	15.8
Liabilities assumed	(26.3)
Deferred tax liabilities	(45.2)
Net assets acquired	800.0
Less: cash acquired	(1.2)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	798.8

Goodwill includes Endotronix's assembled workforce and expected synergies the Company believes will result from the acquisition. Goodwill was assigned to the Company’s United States segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of the developed technology was determined using the income approach. This approach determines fair value based on cash flow projections which are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate of return. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the developed technology was 15.5%. The fair value of the IPR&D was also determined using the income approach. IPR&D has been capitalized at fair value as an intangible asset with an indefinite life and will be assessed for impairment in subsequent periods. The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the IPR&D was 18.0%. Completion of successful design developments, bench testing, pre-clinical studies and human clinical studies are required prior to selling any product. The risks and uncertainties associated with completing development within a reasonable period of time include those related to the design, development, and manufacturability of the product, the success of pre-clinical and clinical studies, and the timing of regulatory approvals. The valuation assumed $47.1 million of additional research and development expenditures would be incurred prior to the date of product introduction. In the valuation, net cash inflows were modeled to commence in the United States in 2027 and in Japan and Europe in 2028. Upon completion of development, the underlying research and development asset will be amortized over its estimated useful life.

The results of operations for Endotronix have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results have not been presented as the results of Endotronix are not material in relation to the consolidated financial statements of Edwards Lifesciences.

JC Medical, Inc.

On July 22, 2024, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of JC Medical, Inc. (“JC Medical”) for purchase consideration of $116.3 million, net of cash acquired. In addition, the Company agreed to pay up to an additional $200.0 million in pre-specified milestone-driven payments over the next 12 years. The Company recognized a $1.8 million contingent consideration liability for the estimated fair value of the contingent milestone payments as of the acquisition date. For further information, see Note 13.

The Company placed $12.0 million of the cash consideration paid at closing into escrow to satisfy any claims for indemnification made in accordance with the merger agreement as of the acquisition date. Any funds remaining 15 months after the acquisition date will be disbursed to JC Medical's former shareholders. Acquisition-related costs of $1.6 million were recorded in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024.

JC Medical is a structural heart company that is primarily engaged in the design and development of transcatheter valve replacement products for the minimally invasive treatment of structural heart disease. The acquisition was completed primarily to expand the Company's TAVR technologies to enable the treatment of patients with aortic regurgitation. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and intangible assets acquired were recorded based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded to goodwill.

The following table summarizes the final fair value of consideration transferred and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):


Cash consideration paid at closing	$	114.8


Fair value of contingent consideration	1.8
Total purchase price	116.6

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

11. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and in-process research and development assets resulting from business combinations are not subject to amortization. Other acquired intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis, or if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be used. The Company expenses costs incurred to renew or extend the term of acquired intangible assets.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in millions):


	United States		Europe		Rest of World		Total
Goodwill at December 31, 2023	$	710.7	$	58.2	$	376.2	$	1,145.1
Goodwill acquired during the year (Note 10)	429.2		—		205.4		634.6
Currency translation adjustment	—		(3.0)		—		(3.0)
Goodwill at December 31, 2024	1,139.9		55.2		581.6		1,776.7

In 2025, the Company recorded a $40.0 million impairment loss related to certain developed technology assets due to management’s determination that the assets are no longer expected to generate future economic benefit. The impairment was recognized in Intangible Assets Impairment Charges within operating income on the consolidated statement of operations. There were no intangible asset impairment charges recognized in 2024.

Amortization expense related to other intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $8.4 million, $5.6 million, and $2.2 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the years ending December 31 is as follows (in millions):


2026	$	17.3
2027	27.7
2028	48.8
2029	69.7

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

12. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

In June 2018, the Company issued $600.0 million of fixed-rate unsecured senior notes (the “Notes”) due June 15, 2028. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears, with payments due in June and December of each year. The Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at specified redemption prices. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, the Company may be required to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes also include covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur secured indebtedness, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets.

The following is a summary of the Notes as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in millions, except for percentages):


	December 31,
	2025				2024
	Amount		Effective Interest Rate		Amount		Effective Interest Rate

Fixed-rate 4.3% Notes	$	600.0	4.329	%	$	600.0	4.329	%


Unamortized discount	(0.4)				(0.5)
Unamortized debt issuance costs	(1.3)				(1.8)

Total carrying amount	$	598.3			$	597.7

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Notes was $604.0 million and $587.5 million, respectively, based on observable market prices in less active markets and categorized as Level 2. For further information, see Note 13. The debt issuance costs, as well as the discount, are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes.

The Company has a Five-Year Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $750.0 million multi-currency unsecured revolving credit facility and matures on July 15, 2027. Subject to certain terms and conditions and the agreement of the lenders, the Company may increase the amount available under the Credit Agreement by up to an additional $250.0 million in the aggregate and extend the maturity date for an additional year. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a spread ranging from 0.785% to 1.3%, depending on the leverage ratio or credit rating, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a 0.1% credit spread adjustment. The Company will also pay a facility fee ranging from 0.09% to 0.20%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio or credit rating, on the entire credit commitment available, whether or not drawn. The facility fee is expensed as incurred. During 2025, under the Credit Agreement, the spread over SOFR was 0.9% and the facility fee was 0.1%. Issuance costs of $2.1 million are

being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, if any from time to time, are classified as long-term obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is unsecured and contains various financial and other covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2025.

The weighted-average interest rate under all debt obligations, including the impact of the cross-currency swap contract (for further information, see Note 14), was 3.5% and 3.4% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company prioritizes the inputs used to determine fair values in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The consolidated financial statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash deposits, accounts and other receivables, investments, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities, and borrowings under a revolving credit agreement. The carrying value of these financial instruments generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. Financial instruments also include notes payable. For further information on the fair value of the notes payable, see Note 12.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table summarizes the Company's financial instruments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

Cash Equivalents and Available-for-sale Investments

Cash equivalents included money market funds for the periods presented above. The Company estimates the fair values of its money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company estimates the fair values of its corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, United States and foreign government and agency securities, and municipal securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services use industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades and broker-dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, benchmark yields, credit spreads, prepayment and default projections based on historical data, and other observable inputs. The Company independently reviews and validates the pricing received from the third-party pricing service by comparing the prices to prices reported by a secondary pricing source. The Company’s validation procedures have not resulted in an adjustment to the pricing received from the pricing service.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company holds investments related to its deferred compensation plans. The fair values of these investments are in a variety of stock, bond, and money market mutual funds. The fair values of these investments are based on quoted market prices.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to manage foreign currency exposures. All derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, which was measured using quoted foreign exchange rates, interest rates, yield curves, and cross-currency swap basis rates. The estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

Certain of the Company's acquisitions involve contingent consideration arrangements. Payment of additional consideration is contingent upon the acquired company reaching certain performance milestones, such as attaining specified sales levels or obtaining regulatory approvals. These contingent consideration liabilities are measured at estimated fair value using either a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis or a Monte Carlo simulation model, both of which consider significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include (1) the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the projected cash flows (ranging from 11.1% to 11.6%; with a weighted average of 11.3%), (2) the probability of milestone achievement (a weighted average of 60.0%), (3) the projected payment dates (a weighted average of 2032), and (4) the volatility of future revenue (25%). The weighted average of each of the above inputs was determined based on the relative fair value of each obligation. The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in millions), which are included in Other Liabilities:


	Contingent Consideration		Other		Total
Fair value, December 31, 2023	$	—	$	10.3	$	10.3
Additions	16.5		—		16.5

Changes in fair value	—		(5.3)		(5.3)

Fair value, December 31, 2024	$	16.5	$	5.0	$	21.5

Payments	(2.0)		—		(2.0)
Changes in fair value	(12.5)		1.1		(11.4)

Fair value, December 31, 2025	$	2.0	$	6.1	$	8.1

- Definition

Net periodic pension benefit cost	$	3.5	$	4.4	$	3.1

Expected long-term returns for each of the plans' strategic asset classes were developed through consultation with investment advisors. Several factors were considered, including a survey of investment managers' expectations, current market data, minimum guaranteed returns in certain insurance contracts, and historical market returns over long periods. Using policy target allocation percentages and the asset class expected returns, a weighted-average expected return was calculated.

To select the discount rates for the defined benefit pension plans, the Company uses a modeling process that involves matching the expected duration of its benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of AA-rated fixed-income debt instruments, or their equivalent. For each country, the Company uses the implied yield of this hypothetical portfolio at the appropriate duration as a discount rate benchmark.

The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations are as follows:


	December 31,
	2025		2024
Discount rate	2.0	%	1.5	%
Rate of compensation increase	2.6	%	2.8	%
Cash balance interest crediting rate	1.5	%	1.5	%
Social securities increase	1.5	%	1.8	%
Pension increase	2.2	%	2.2	%

The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension benefit cost are as follows:


	Years ended December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
Discount rate	1.5	%	1.8	%	2.5	%
Expected return on plan assets	4.1	%	4.3	%	3.7	%
Rate of compensation increase	2.8	%	2.9	%	2.9	%
Cash balance interest crediting rate	1.5	%	1.5	%	1.5	%
Social securities increase	1.8	%	1.8	%	1.8	%
Pension increase	2.2	%	2.2	%	2.2	%

Plan Assets

The Company's investment strategy for plan assets is to seek a competitive rate of return relative to an appropriate level of risk and to earn performance rates of return in accordance with the benchmarks adopted for each asset class. Risk management practices include diversification across asset classes and investment styles, and periodic rebalancing toward asset allocation targets.

The Company's Administrative and Investment Committee decides on the defined benefit plan provider in each location and that provider decides the target allocation for the Company's defined benefit plan at that location. The target asset allocation selected reflects a risk/return profile the Company feels is appropriate relative to the plans' liability structure and return goals. In certain plans, asset allocations may be governed by local requirements. Target weighted-average asset allocations at December 31, 2025, by asset category, are as follows:


Equity securities	32.8	%
Debt securities	32.9	%
Real estate	15.4	%
Other	18.9	%
Total	100.0	%

The fair values of the Company's defined benefit plan assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, by asset category, are as follows (in millions):

_______________________________________

(a) Certain investments that were measured at net asset value per share have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total plan assets.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company's defined benefit plan assets that have been classified as Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):


	Insurance Contracts
Balance at December 31, 2023	$	0.8
Actual return on plan assets:
Relating to assets still held at December 31, 2024	0.4

Purchases, sales and settlements	(0.5)


Balance at December 31, 2024	0.7
Actual return on plan assets:
Relating to assets still held at December 31, 2025	(0.1)

Purchases, sales and settlements	(0.2)

Currency exchange rate impact	0.2
Balance at December 31, 2025	$	0.6

Equity and debt securities are valued at fair value based on quoted market prices reported on the active markets on which the individual securities are traded. Real estate investments are valued by discounting to present value the cash flows expected to be generated by the specific properties. Investments in mortgages are valued at cost, which is deemed to approximate its fair value. The insurance contracts are valued at the cash surrender value of the contracts, which is deemed to approximate its fair value. Alternative investments include hedge funds, private equity funds and other miscellaneous investments, and are valued using the net asset value provided by the fund administrator as a practical expedient. The net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.

The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, at December 31, 2025, are expected to be paid (in millions):


2026	$	6.9
2027	6.2
2028	6.7
2029	7.4
2030	7.9
2031-2035	40.8

As of December 31, 2025, expected employer contributions for 2026 are $2.9 million.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company's employees in the United States are eligible to participate in a qualified defined contribution plan. In the United States, participants may contribute up to 25% of their eligible compensation (subject to tax code limitation) to the plan. Edwards Lifesciences matches the first 4% of the participant's annual eligible compensation contributed to the plan on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Edwards Lifesciences matches the next 2% of the participant's annual eligible compensation to the plan on a 50% basis. In Puerto Rico, participants may contribute up to 25% of their annual compensation (subject to tax code limitation) to the plan. Edwards Lifesciences matched the first 4% of participant's annual eligible compensation contributed to the plan on a 50% basis. The Company also provided a 2% profit sharing contribution calculated on eligible earnings for each employee. Matching contributions relating to Edwards Lifesciences employees were $55.7 million, $56.2 million, and $51.0 million in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Company also has nonqualified deferred compensation plans for a select group of employees. The plans provide eligible participants the opportunity to defer eligible compensation to future dates specified by the participant with a return based on investment alternatives selected by the participant. The amount accrued under these nonqualified plans was $166.6 million and $146.5 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

COMMON STOCK

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2025

Equity [Abstract]

COMMON STOCK

16. COMMON STOCK

Treasury Stock

In August 2024, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to $1.5 billion of repurchases of the Company's common stock under this program. In September 2025, the Board of Directors approved up to an additional $1.5 billion of repurchases of the Company's common stock under this program. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date. Stock repurchased under the program may be used to offset the impact of the Company's employee stock-based benefit programs and stock-based business acquisitions, and will reduce the total shares outstanding.

During 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company repurchased 11.8 million, 16.8 million, and 11.4 million shares, respectively, at an aggregate cost of $0.9 billion, $1.2 billion, and $0.9 billion, respectively, including shares purchased under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, the accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements described below, and shares acquired to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and exercise of stock options issued to employees. The timing and size of any future stock repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including expected dilution from stock plans, cash capacity, and the market price of the Company's common stock.

Accelerated Share Repurchase

During 2025 and 2024, the Company entered into ASR agreements providing for the repurchase of the Company's common stock based on the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company's common stock during the term of the applicable agreements, less a discount. The following table summarizes the terms of the ASR agreements (dollars and shares in millions, except per share data):


			Initial Delivery					Final Settlement
Agreement Date	Amount Paid		Shares Received	Price per Share		Value of Shares as % of Contract Value		Settlement Date	Total Shares Received	Average Price per Share


April 2024	$	150.0	1.4	$	85.95	80	%	May 2024	1.7	$	86.72
August 2024	$	500.0	5.8	$	68.93	80	%	December 2024	7.5	$	66.60
February 2025	$	250.0	2.6	$	76.00	80	%	July 2025	3.5	$	71.06
August 2025	$	500.0	5.1	$	78.30	80	%	September 2025	6.3	$	79.05

The ASR agreements were each accounted for as two separate transactions: (1) the value of the initial delivery of shares was recorded as shares of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction on the acquisition date and (2) the remaining amount of the purchase price paid was recorded as a forward contract indexed to the Company's own common stock and was initially recorded in Additional Paid-in Capital and subsequently, upon settlement, was transferred to Treasury Stock on the consolidated balance sheets. The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company determined that the forward contracts indexed to the Company's common stock met all the applicable criteria for equity classification and, therefore, were not accounted for as a derivative instrument.

Employee and Director Stock Plans

The Edwards Lifesciences Corporation Long-term Stock Incentive Compensation Program (the “Program”) provides for the grant of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units for eligible employees of the Company. Under the Program, these grants are awarded at a price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant based upon the closing price on that date. Options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock granted under the Program generally vest over predetermined periods of between three to four years and expire seven years after the date of grant. Service-based restricted stock units of the Company's common stock granted under the Program generally vest over predetermined periods, typically four years after the date of grant. Market-based restricted stock units of the Company's common stock granted under the Program vest over three years based on a combination of certain service and market conditions. The actual number of shares issued will be determined based on the Company's total stockholder return relative to a selected industry peer group. On May 7, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the Program to (1) increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Program by 6.9 million shares to a new total share limit of 334.5 million shares, (2) increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance as restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards under the Program by 2.0 million shares to a new limit on the total number of shares available for these types of awards of 35.6 million shares, and (3) extend the term within which new awards may be granted under the Program through February 21, 2034.

The Company also maintains the Nonemployee Directors Stock Incentive Compensation Program (the “Nonemployee Directors Program”). Under the Nonemployee Directors Program, annually each nonemployee director may receive up to 120,000 stock options or 48,000 restricted stock units of the Company's common stock, or a combination thereof. These grants generally vest over one year from the date of grant. Under the Nonemployee Directors Program, an aggregate of 8.4 million shares of the Company's common stock has been authorized for issuance.

The Company has an employee stock purchase plan for United States employees and a plan for employees outside of the United States (collectively “ESPP”). Under the ESPP, eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of Edwards Lifesciences common stock on the effective date of subscription or the date of purchase. Under the ESPP, employees can authorize the Company to withhold up to 15% of their compensation for common stock purchases, subject to certain limitations. The ESPP is available to all active employees of the Company paid from the United States payroll and to eligible employees of the Company outside of the United States, to the extent permitted by local law. The ESPP for United States employees is qualified under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. On May 8, 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan for United States and international employees to (1) increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance to the Company’s United States employees by 4.2 million shares to a new total share limit of 43.8 million shares, and (2) increase the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance to the Company’s international employees by 1.5 million shares to a new total share limit of 12.3 million shares. The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP was 56.1 million shares.

The fair value of each option award and employee stock purchase subscription is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following tables. The risk-free interest rate is estimated using the United States Treasury yield curve and is based on the expected term of the award. Expected volatility is estimated based on a blend of the weighted-average of the historical volatility of Edwards Lifesciences' stock and the implied volatility from traded options on Edwards Lifesciences' stock. The expected term of awards granted is estimated from the vesting period of the award, as well as historical exercise behavior, and represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate forfeitures and has estimated an annual forfeiture rate of 5.7%.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the following periods:

Option Awards


	Years Ended December 31,
	2025			2024			2023
Risk-free interest rate	4.0		%	4.5		%	3.4		%
Expected dividend yield	None			None			None
Expected volatility	34.1		%	30.9		%	32.8		%
Expected term (years)	5.3			5.3			5.1
Fair value, per share	$	28.38		$	31.14		$	30.97

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used with the following weighted-average assumptions for ESPP subscriptions granted during the following periods:

ESPP


	Years Ended December 31,
	2025			2024			2023
Risk-free interest rate	4.3		%	5.2		%	4.6		%
Expected dividend yield	None			None			None
Expected volatility	30.8		%	33.5		%	31.5		%
Expected term (years)	0.6			0.6			0.6
Fair value, per share	$	18.81		$	25.01		$	19.03

The fair value of market-based restricted stock units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements. The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted

during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 included a risk-free interest rate of 3.8%, 4.5%, and 3.6%, respectively, and an expected volatility rate of 37.9%, 32.4%, and 32.6%, respectively.

Stock option activity during the year ended December 31, 2025 under the Program and the Nonemployee Directors Program was as follows (in millions, except years and per-share amounts):


	Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding as of December 31, 2024	10.0	$	79.15
Options granted	1.8	75.05
Options exercised	(1.7)	51.28
Options forfeited	(0.7)	88.69
Outstanding as of December 31, 2025	9.4	82.78		3.6 years	$	63.0
Exercisable as of December 31, 2025	6.1	83.14		2.5 years	$	45.9
Vested and expected to vest as of December 31, 2025	8.9	82.81		3.5 years	$	60.7

The following table summarizes nonvested restricted stock unit activity during the year ended December 31, 2025 under the Program and the Nonemployee Directors Program (in millions, except per-share amounts):


	Shares	Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested as of December 31, 2024	3.2	$	89.16
Granted	1.8	76.61
Vested	(0.9)	88.97
Forfeited	(0.6)	86.64
Nonvested as of December 31, 2025	3.5	82.49

The intrinsic value of stock options exercised and restricted stock units vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $111.4 million, $150.2 million, and $162.7 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the amount by which the market price of the Company's common stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company received cash from exercises of stock options of $89.2 million, $90.6 million, and $83.4 million, respectively, and tax benefits from exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units of $23.6 million, $32.6 million, and $35.9 million, respectively. The total grant-date fair value of stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $44.1 million, $44.8 million, and $41.3 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025, the total remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options, restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan subscription awards amounted to $285.0 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over each award's requisite service period. The weighted-average remaining requisite service period is 30 months.

The valuation allowance of $104.1 million as of December 31, 2025 reduces certain deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. This allowance primarily relates to the net operating loss carryforwards of certain non-United States subsidiaries and certain United States foreign tax credit carryforwards.

Net operating loss and capital loss carryforwards and the related carryforward periods at December 31, 2025 are summarized as follows (in millions):

The gross tax credit carryforwards and the related carryforward periods at December 31, 2025 are summarized as follows (in millions):


	Carryforward Amount		Valuation Allowance		Net Tax Benefit		Carryforward Period Ends
California research expenditure tax credits	$	245.3	$	—	$	245.3	Indefinite
Federal research expenditure tax credits	8.2		—		8.2		2025-2034

Non-United States tax credits	—		—		—		2025-2028
Total	$	323.0	$	(22.3)	$	300.7

The Company has $245.3 million of gross California research expenditure tax credits it expects to use in future periods. The credits may be carried forward indefinitely. Based upon anticipated future taxable income, the Company expects that it is more likely than not that all California research expenditure tax credits will be utilized, although the utilization of the full benefit is expected to be realized over an extended period of time. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been provided. The Company has $69.5 million of United States foreign tax credits of which $47.2 million are expected to be utilized before the end of the 10-year carryforward period. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $22.3 million on the United States foreign tax credit carryforwards which have been determined to be unrealizable.

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Act”) was signed into law. The 2017 Act required companies to pay a one-time mandatory deemed repatriation tax on the cumulative earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. The Company elected to pay the repatriation tax in installments over eight years. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a remaining tax obligation of $78.5 million related to the deemed repatriation. The final installment of $78.5 million was paid in the second quarter of 2025.

The Company asserts that $405.8 million of its foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested and it intends to repatriate $720.9 million of its foreign earnings as of December 31, 2025. The estimated net tax liability on the indefinitely reinvested earnings if repatriated is $1.2 million.

The Company has received tax incentives in certain non-United States tax jurisdictions, the primary benefit for which will expire in 2032. The tax reductions to cash tax expense as compared to the local statutory rates were $93.9 million ($0.16 per diluted share), $249.3 million ($0.42 per diluted share), and $294.2 million ($0.48 per diluted share) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements To Income Tax Disclosures” on a prospective basis beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025. The following table presents the required disclosures pursuant to ASU 2023-09 and reconciles the U.S. federal statutory income tax amount to the global effective amount for the year ended December 31, 2025 (in millions, except for percentages):

______________________________________

(a) State and local taxes provided a provision benefit of $26.6 million, driven primarily by state tax credits from California and Utah, which reduced the state tax provision by $22.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Further, state taxes in California, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Florida and Minnesota made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category.

The Company's effective tax rate for 2025 increased in comparison to 2024 primarily due to the impact of Pillar Two (see below), other local tax increases, and certain non-deductible litigation expenses. For further information, see Note 3.

The following table presents the required disclosures prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-09 and reconciles the U.S. federal statutory income tax amount to the actual global effective amount for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):


	Years Ended December 31,
	2024		2023
Income tax expense at United States federal statutory rate	$	325.1	$	288.1
Foreign income taxed at different rates	(190.6)		(133.8)
State and local taxes, net of federal tax benefit	16.0		15.9
Tax credits, federal and state	(58.9)		(55.9)

Nondeductible employee share-based compensation	6.2		5.7



Other	20.2		(8.7)
Income tax provision	$	152.1	$	152.4

The Company's effective tax rate for 2024 decreased in comparison to 2023 primarily due to an increase in tax benefits from foreign earnings taxed at lower rates net of an increase in tax on global intangible low-taxed income and favorable global income tax audit settlements.

Many countries are implementing some or all of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Pillar Two (“Pillar Two”) rules that impose a global minimum tax of 15% on reported profits. Although Pillar Two provides a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar Two differently than the model rules and on different timelines and may adjust domestic tax incentives in response to Pillar Two. In addition, in January 2025, the United States issued an executive order announcing opposition to aspects of these rules. As countries continue to enact and refine the Pillar Two rules, the Company will evaluate the potential effects of Pillar Two on its effective tax rate. In 2025, the Pillar Two provisions resulted in additional tax expense of approximately $19.1 million.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Act, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The OBBBA did not have a material impact to the Company’s tax expense in 2025 and is not expected to have a material impact on future periods.

Uncertain Tax Positions

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the gross uncertain tax positions were $767.4 million and $678.8 million, respectively. The Company estimates that these liabilities would be reduced by $377.0 million and $319.9 million, respectively, from offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential transfer pricing adjustments, foreign income taxes, state income taxes, and timing adjustments. The net amounts of $390.4 million and $358.9 million, respectively, if not required, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of uncertain tax positions, excluding interest, penalties, and foreign exchange, is as follows (in millions):


	December 31,
	2025		2024		2023
Uncertain gross tax positions, January 1	$	678.8	$	583.9	$	475.3
Current year tax positions	88.5		125.8		127.0
Increase in prior year tax positions	8.4		3.2		0.8
Decrease in prior year tax positions	(7.5)		(34.1)		(16.2)
Settlements	(0.8)		—		(3.0)

Uncertain gross tax positions, December 31	$	767.4	$	678.8	$	583.9

The table above summarizes the gross amounts of uncertain tax positions without regard to reductions in tax liabilities or additions to deferred tax assets and liabilities if such uncertain tax positions were settled.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had accrued $73.2 million (net of $80.2 million tax benefit) of interest related to uncertain tax positions, and as of December 31, 2024, the Company had accrued $55.4 million (net of $52.5 million tax benefit) of interest related to uncertain tax positions. During 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized interest expense, net of tax benefit, of $17.8 million, $14.0 million, and $12.3 million, respectively, in Provision for Income Taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the normal course of business, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and other taxing authorities are in different stages of examining various years of the Company's tax filings. During these audits, the Company may receive proposed audit adjustments that could be material. Therefore, there is a possibility that an adverse outcome in these audits could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach an agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company has accrued for matters it believes are more likely than not to require settlement, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is materially different from that reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may later decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal. The uncertain tax positions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations between tax authorities, identification of new issues, and issuance of new legislation, regulations, or case law. Management believes that adequate amounts of tax and related penalty and interest have been provided for any adjustments that may result from these uncertain tax positions.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company executed an Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) between Japan and Switzerland covering distribution transactions for tax years 2020 through 2024, and in 2023, the Company executed an APA between Japan and the United States covering tax years 2020 through 2024. The Company also executed an APA in the fourth quarter of 2024 between Japan and Singapore covering tax years 2022 through 2026 with roll-back terms to cover the distribution of TAVR products beginning in 2020 and the distribution of Surgical products beginning in 2018. Considering ongoing supply chain changes, the Company has withdrawn its APA renewal application between Japan and the United States for tax years 2025 through 2029.

The audits of the Company’s United States federal income tax returns through 2014 have been closed. The IRS audit field work for the 2015 through 2017 tax years was completed during the second quarter of 2021, except for transfer pricing and related matters. The IRS is currently examining the 2018 through 2020 tax years.

At December 31, 2025, all material state, local, and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2015.

During 2021, the Company received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS for the 2015 through 2017 tax years relating to transfer pricing involving Surgical/TAVR intercompany royalty transactions between the Company's United States and Switzerland subsidiaries. The NOPA proposed a substantial increase to the Company's United States taxable income, which could result in additional tax expense for the 2015 through 2017 period of approximately $260.0 million and reflects a departure from a transfer pricing method the Company had previously agreed upon with the IRS. The Company disagreed with the NOPA and pursued an administrative appeal with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“Appeals”). The Appeals process culminated in the third quarter of 2023 when the Company and Appeals concluded that a satisfactory resolution of the matter at the administrative level was not possible.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, Appeals issued a notice of deficiency (“NOD”) increasing the Company's 2015 through 2017 United States federal income tax in amounts resulting from the income adjustments previously reflected in the NOPA. The additional tax sought in excess of the Company's filing position is $269.3 million before consideration of interest and a repatriation tax offset.

The Company plans to vigorously contest the additional tax claimed by the IRS through the judicial process. Final resolution of this matter is not likely within the next 12 months. The Company believes the amounts previously accrued related to this uncertain tax position are appropriate for a number of reasons, including the interpretation and application of relevant tax law and accounting standards to the Company's facts and, accordingly, has not accrued any additional amount based on the NOD and other proceedings to date. Nonetheless, the outcome of the judicial process cannot be predicted with certainty, and it is possible that the outcome of that process could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company made deposits with the IRS of $75 million in November 2022 and $305.1 million in March 2024 to prevent the further accrual of interest on that portion of any additional tax and interest the Company may ultimately be found to owe while the Company prepares to contest through the judicial process the IRS's entitlement to any of the additional tax claimed by the IRS. The IRS converted those deposits to advance payments and, on December 20, 2024, the Company filed administrative claims for refunds of those payments with the IRS for the 2015 through 2017 tax years. The Company is now able to sue for refunds in the appropriate judicial forum.

Surgical/TAVR intercompany royalty transactions covering tax years 2018 through 2025 remain subject to IRS examination, and those transactions and related tax positions remain uncertain as of December 31, 2025. The Company has considered this information, as well as information regarding the NOD and other proceedings described above, in its evaluation of its uncertain tax positions. The impact of these unresolved transfer pricing matters, net of any correlative tax adjustments, may be significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Based on the information currently available and numerous possible outcomes, the Company cannot reasonably estimate what, if any, changes in its existing uncertain tax positions may occur in the next 12 months and, therefore, has continued to record the uncertain tax positions as a long-term liability.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company received a notice of assessment from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) wherein the ITA claimed that the Company owes approximately $110.0 million of tax excluding interest and penalties in connection with a claimed 2017 transfer of intellectual property. The Company maintains that it did not transfer intellectual property outside of Israel in 2017 or in any subsequent year. The Company filed a formal appeal of the assessment in the third quarter of 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company received a second notice of assessment from the ITA claiming that the Company owes additional tax of approximately $16.0 million excluding interest and penalties for the 2018 through 2022 tax years based entirely on the collateral impacts of the 2017 assessment. The Company filed a formal appeal of the second assessment in the first quarter of 2025. In the third quarter of 2025, the ITA agreed that intellectual property was not transferred in 2017 and withdrew its assessment. The ITA has until March 2026 to respond to the appeal for the 2018 through 2022 taxable years. If not withdrawn, the Company will defend its position through judicial proceedings.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	12 Months Ended
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Dec. 31, 2025
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings On September 28, 2021, Aortic Innovations LLC, a non-practicing entity (“Plaintiff”), filed a lawsuit against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (“Edwards”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Edwards’ SAPIEN 3 Ultra product infringes certain of its patents. Edwards obtained a judgment of non-infringement, which Plaintiff appealed, and argument was held before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on June 2, 2025. On October 27, 2025, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s claim construction in favor of the Company. Plaintiff’s remaining claims were reassigned to Judge Noreika (Case No. 23-cv-00158) on June 18, 2025 and are proceeding with a trial scheduled to begin on March 23, 2026. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation or the potential impact on its financial statements. The Company is vigorously defending itself in this litigation. On January 14, 2026, Cardiovalve, Ltd. and MTH IP, L.P. filed a lawsuit against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and one of its subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company’s PASCAL products infringe their patent. The complaint seeks damages and a permanent injunction. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation or the potential impact on its financial statements. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this litigation. The European Commission (the “Commission”) was investigating certain business practices of Edwards, including its unilateral pro-innovation (anti-copycat) policy (“UPIP”) and patent enforcement practices. The Company has been cooperating with the Commission and believes its business practices support healthy competition. On February 15, 2026, in connection with Edwards’ removal of the UPIP from its website, the Commission announced the closure of its preliminary investigation into these practices without a finding of any wrongdoing on Edwards’ part. On February 16, 2026, Valtech Shareholder Representative LLC (“VT Shareholders”) filed a complaint against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging breach of contract and seeking accelerated milestone payments set forth in the merger agreement in which the Company acquired transcatheter structural heart repair technology from Valtech Cardio Ltd. The complaint alleges the Company failed to exercise commercially reasonable efforts in the development and commercialization of such technology causing certain milestone payments to not come due. This suit is the second suit brought by VT Shareholders. The first, filed in 2023, was dismissed by the Court of Chancery on procedural grounds in July of 2024. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation or the potential impact on its financial statements. The Company is vigorously defending itself in this litigation. On March 22, 2024, Fortis Advisors (“Fortis”), LLC, the designated representative of the former stockholders of Harpoon Medical, Inc. filed suit against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery, alleging breach of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 8, 2015, by and between Harpoon Medical, Inc. and Edwards (the “Agreement”). Fortis sought acceleration and payment of all contingent milestone payments in the Agreement. Trial was scheduled for December 2025. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered settlement negotiations with Fortis and recognized an estimated provision for the settlement offer. On December 1, 2025, the Company and Fortis entered into a confidential settlement agreement to resolve all claims related to the Agreement. As a result of the settlement, the Court, on December 16, 2025, dismissed all of Fortis’ claims in this case with prejudice. The settlement amount was recorded within Intellectual Property Agreement and Certain Litigation Expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. On October 14, 2024, a purported stockholder of Edwards filed a putative securities class action (the “Securities Class Action”) complaint against the Company and certain of its executive officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Patel v. Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, et al., No. 24-cv-02221. The complaint alleges violations of various securities laws based on alleged false or misleading statements regarding our business prospects. The complaint seeks damages, interest, costs and other fees. On September 17, 2025, the Court held a hearing on the Company’s Motion to Dismiss, and on September 19, 2025, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation or the potential impact on its financial statements. The Company is vigorously defending itself in this litigation. On December 31, 2024, Plaintiff Manh Ho filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, captioned Ho v. Zovighian, et al., Case No. 8:24-cv-02822, purportedly on behalf of Edwards against certain of its officers and directors for alleged violations of federal securities laws, breaches of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets (the “Ho Action”). On January 17, 2025, Plaintiff Barbara Sheridan filed a different shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Sheridan v. Zovighian, et al., Case No. 8:25-cv-00097, purportedly on behalf of Edwards against certain of its officers and directors for similar alleged violations (the “Sheridan Action”). Both the Ho Action and the Sheridan Action are based on the same facts as the Securities Class Action. On April 10, 2025, the Court consolidated the Ho Action and the Sheridan Action. The Court issued an order on June 17, 2025 staying the consolidated derivative action until the Securities Class Action is resolved. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the litigation or the potential impact on its financial statements. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the lawsuits. The Company is or may be a party to, or may otherwise be responsible for, other pending or threatened lawsuits including those related to products and services currently or formerly manufactured or performed, as applicable, by the Company, workplace and employment matters, matters involving real estate, the Company's operations or health care regulations, contingent consideration, commercial matters, or governmental investigations (the “Lawsuits”). The Lawsuits raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and differences in applicable law. Management does not believe that any loss relating to the Lawsuits would have a material adverse effect on the Company's overall financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the resolution of one or more of the Lawsuits in any reporting period could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial results for that period. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has accrued an aggregate estimated liability of $146.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively, related to its outstanding legal proceedings and settlements within Accrued and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Note 9. The Company is not able to estimate the amount or range of any loss for legal contingencies related to outstanding legal proceedings for which there is no accrual or additional loss for matters for which an accrual has been taken. The Company is subject to various environmental laws and regulations both within and outside of the United States. The Company's operations, like those of other medical device companies, involve the use of substances regulated under environmental laws, primarily in manufacturing and sterilization processes. While it is difficult to quantify the potential impact of continuing compliance with environmental protection laws, management believes that such compliance will not have a material impact on the Company's financial results. The Company's threshold for disclosing material environmental legal proceedings involving a governmental authority where potential monetary sanctions are involved is $1 million.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

21. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Edwards Lifesciences conducts operations worldwide and is managed in the following four reportable segments: United States, Europe, Japan, and Rest of World. All regions sell products that are used to treat advanced cardiovascular disease. The Company's operating segments are organized primarily based on economic characteristics as well as other characteristics, including types of customers, nature of the regulatory environment, and product offerings.

The Company's geographic segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which is the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company's reportable segments based on segment net sales and segment operating income. The CODM considers budget or forecast-to-actual results variances for segment operating income on a periodic basis for evaluating the performance of each segment and making decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment.

Segment net sales are based on actual foreign exchange rates. Segment expenses and segment operating income are based on internally derived foreign exchange rates and do not include inter-segment profits. Because of the interdependence of the reportable segments, the operating profit as presented may not be representative of the geographical distribution that would occur if the segments were not interdependent. Net sales by geographic area are based on the location of the customer. There were no customers that represented 10% or more of the Company's total net sales.

Certain items are maintained at the corporate level and are not allocated to the segments. The non-allocated items include corporate research and development expenses, manufacturing variances, corporate headquarters costs, net interest income, global marketing expenses, impairment charges, stock-based compensation, foreign currency hedging activities, certain litigation costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, most of the Company's amortization, and a portion of the Company's depreciation expense. The CODM does not receive information on total assets by reportable segment.

The table below presents information about Edwards Lifesciences' reportable segments (in millions):

Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	Our Information Security team manages Edwards’ Information Security Program, which is focused on assessing, identifying and managing cybersecurity risk and information security threats. We evaluate cybersecurity risk on an ongoing basis, and it is a risk monitored through our overall enterprise risk management program, including by the executive leadership and the Board of Directors, described below under Governance. To proactively manage cybersecurity risk in our organization, our management team has instituted an Edwards Information Technology Security Policy that is available to all employees through the employee handbook and on our intranet. We conduct information security training as part of our compliance program that occurs at least annually and is mandatory for all new employees. We also administer a cybersecurity training program for the Board of Directors. We also maintain insurance policies that may cover damages as a result of a cybersecurity incident. Internal and external stakeholders can access the Edwards Integrity Helpline 24/7 online or by phone, to report any security incidents for escalation. We also disclose information about our product security and provide relevant contact information for our stakeholders to report any product vulnerabilities. To proactively identify, mitigate, and prepare for potential cybersecurity incidents, we maintain both a business continuity plan and cyber incident response plan with formalized workflows and playbooks. We periodically conduct simulation exercises involving employees at various levels of the organization. Our Information Security Program is designed to align with industry standards such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, Center for Internet Security Framework and Open Web Application Security Project Top 10, among others. We leverage these frameworks to build security controls that are both specific to Edwards and aligned with best practices. In addition to tracking best practice frameworks, we also work with trusted third parties to help us assess and audit our cybersecurity program and annually audit our systems and test our IT infrastructure. Through these channels and others, we work to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities in our information security system and continually enhance our processes. As part of our efforts to track and shape industry best practices, the Information Security team is an affiliated member and active contributor of the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (“H-ISAC”). We recognize that we are exposed to cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers. To minimize the risk and vulnerabilities to our own systems stemming from such use, our Information Security team identifies and addresses known cybersecurity threats and incidents at third-party service providers on a continuous basis. In addition, we strive to minimize cybersecurity risks when we first select or renew a vendor by including cybersecurity risk as part of our overall vendor evaluation and due diligence process. Based on information known to us, we do not believe any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Our risks associated with cybersecurity threats are set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in this report.

Our Chief Financial Officer presents information on our enterprise-wide risks to the Board of Directors at each of its regularly scheduled meetings. Our Senior Vice President (“SVP”), Enterprise Risk Management, presents to our Board of Directors and our Audit Committee at least once a year on our significant enterprise-wide risks as well as our enterprise-wide risk program. In addition, our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) provides a report on cybersecurity and information security matters to the Audit Committee at each regularly scheduled meeting, minimally once a quarter. The oversight of our cybersecurity program at the management level rests with the Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”) who has designated the CISO to lead and execute on the cybersecurity program. The CISO provides regular updates to the executive leadership team, including the CEO, on our cybersecurity program and cybersecurity risks. Our cybersecurity leaders have extensive experience in cybersecurity, including in consulting and corporate roles at Forbes 100 companies and experience leading security incident detection and response, security architecture, and strategy programs. Finally, management has instituted our Information Security Council and Enterprise Risk Management Council, both of which are made up of senior leaders of the Company. The Information Security Council is tasked with overseeing information security matters at Edwards, including cybersecurity. This council serves as an escalation point for issues requiring concerted action and, in turn, informs executive management regarding information security and cybersecurity risks and issues. The Enterprise Risk Management Council is tasked with proactive management of our enterprise-wide risks, including information security risks that also include cybersecurity. This council is responsible for assessing and providing input into the enterprise risks that are presented to the Board of Directors.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edwards Lifesciences, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For further information, see Note 9. The Company attributes the net income or losses of its consolidated VIEs to controlling and noncontrolling interests using the hypothetical liquidation at book value method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The consolidated financial statements of Edwards Lifesciences have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which have been applied consistently in all material respects. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation When the local currency of the Company's foreign entities is the functional currency, all assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the weighted-average exchange rate prevailing during the period. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments for these entities are deferred and reported in stockholders' equity as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The effects of foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency are included in Other Non-operating Income, net.
Revenue Recognition and Shipping and Handling Costs	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those products or services. The Company generates nearly all of its revenue from direct product sales and sales of products under consignment arrangements. Revenue from direct product sales is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied upon delivery of the product. Revenue from sales of consigned inventory is recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is satisfied once the product has been implanted or used by the customer. The Company periodically reviews consignment inventories to confirm the accuracy of customer reporting. Sales taxes and other similar taxes that the Company collects concurrently with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company does not typically have any significant unusual payment terms beyond 90 days in its contracts with customers. The amount of consideration the Company ultimately receives varies depending upon the return terms, sales rebates, discounts, and other incentives that the Company may offer, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely upon an assessment of historical payment experience, historical relationship to revenues, estimated customer inventory levels, and current contract sales terms with direct and indirect customers. The Company's sales adjustment related to distributor rebates given to the Company's distributors represents the difference between the Company's sales price to the distributor and the negotiated price to be paid by the end-customer. This distributor rebate is recorded as a reduction to sales and a reduction to the distributor's accounts receivable at the time of sale to a distributor. The Company periodically monitors current pricing trends and distributor inventory levels to ensure the credit for future distributor rebates is fairly stated. The Company offers volume rebates to certain group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”) and customers based upon targeted sales levels. Volume rebates offered to GPOs are recorded as a reduction to sales and an obligation to the GPOs, as the Company expects to pay in cash. Volume rebates offered to customers are recorded as a reduction to sales and either a reduction to accounts receivable if the Company expects a net payment from the customer, or as an obligation to the customer if the Company expects to pay in cash. The provision for volume rebates is estimated based upon customers' contracted rebate programs, projected sales levels, and historical experience of rebates paid. The Company periodically monitors its customer rebate programs to ensure that the allowance and liability for accrued rebates is fairly stated. Product returns are typically not significant because returns are generally not allowed unless the product is damaged at the time of receipt. In limited circumstances, the Company may allow customers to return previously purchased products, such as for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, the Company defers recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. A limited number of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price charged to other customers. The Company applies the optional exemption of not disclosing the amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less. Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping costs, which are costs incurred to physically move product from the Company's premises or third party distribution centers, including storage, to the customer's premises, are included in Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Handling costs, which are costs incurred to store at the Company's premises, move, and prepare products for shipment, are included in Cost of Sales.
Cash Equivalents	Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These investments are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Investments	Investments The Company invests its excess cash in debt securities, including time deposits, commercial paper, United States government and agency securities, asset-backed securities, corporate debt securities, and municipal debt securities. Investments with maturities of one year or less are classified as short-term, and investments with maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term. Investments that the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investments in debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company also has long-term equity investments in companies that are in various stages of development. These investments are reported at fair value or under the equity method of accounting, as appropriate. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are recorded at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The Company accounts for investments in limited partnerships and limited liability corporations, whereby the Company owns a minimum of 5% of the investee's outstanding voting stock, under the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded at the amount of the Company's investment and adjusted each period for the Company's share of the investee's income or loss, and dividends paid. Realized gains and losses on investments that are sold are determined using the specific identification method, or the first-in, first-out method, depending on the investment type, and recorded to Other Non-operating Income, net. Income relating to investments in debt securities is recorded to Interest Income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are considered impaired when there is an indication that the fair value of the Company's interest is less than the carrying amount. Equity method investments are considered impaired when there is an indication of an other-than-temporary decline in value below the carrying amount. Impairments of equity investments are recorded in Other Non-operating Income, net. Debt securities in an unrealized loss position are written down to fair value through Other Non-operating Income, net if the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company assesses whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the security's fair value has been below cost, changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. When a credit loss exists, the Company compares the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security to the amortized cost basis of the security to determine the allowance amount that should be recorded, if any.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable arise from direct product sales and sales of products under consignment arrangements, and have payment terms that generally require payment within 30 to 90 days. The Company does not adjust its receivables for the effects of a significant financing component at contract inception if collection of the receivable is expected within one year or less from the time of sale. In countries where the Company has experienced a pattern of payments extending beyond the stated terms and collection of the receivable is expected beyond one year from the time of sale, the Company assesses whether the customer has a significant financing component and discounts the receivable and reduces the related revenues over the period of time that the Company estimates those amounts will be paid using the country’s market-based borrowing rate for such period. The Company provides reserves against accounts receivable for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability to pay based on customer-specific analysis and general matters such as current assessments of past due balances, economic conditions and forecasts, and historical credit loss activity. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged or written-off against the reserve.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. Market value for raw materials is based on replacement costs, and for other inventory classifications is based on net realizable value. A write-down for excess or slow moving inventory is recorded for inventory that is obsolete, damaged, nearing its expiration date (generally triggered at six months prior to expiration), or slow moving (generally defined as quantities in excess of a two-year supply). The Company allocates general and administrative costs that are related to the production process to inventory. These costs include insurance, manufacturing accounting and human resources personnel, and information technology.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is principally calculated for financial reporting purposes on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, from 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment, and from 3 to 5 years for software. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the related facility leases or the asset, whichever is shorter. Straight-line and accelerated methods of depreciation are used for income tax purposes. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the asset is ready for its intended use.
Leases	Leases The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term as the associated lease. Right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and any initial direct costs incurred, and exclude any lease incentives received. The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet. Certain of the Company’s leases include variable lease payments that are based on costs incurred or actual usage, or adjusted periodically based on an index or a rate. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all of its leases except vehicle leases, for which the lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets and Operating Lease Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Business Combinations and Contingent Consideration	Business Combinations Businesses that the Company acquires are included in its results of operations as of the acquisition date. The purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred. Contingent consideration obligations incurred in connection with a business combination are recorded at their fair values on the acquisition date and remeasured on a quarterly basis, with changes in their fair value recorded as an adjustment to earnings, until the related contingencies have been resolved. When the assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business combination, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, the cost of the acquisition is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. Upfront payments related to in-process research and development projects with no alternative future use are expensed upon acquisition. Contingent Consideration The Company records contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined based primarily on the following factors: •discount rates used to present value the projected cash flows; •the probability of success of clinical events and regulatory approvals, and/or meeting commercial milestones; and •projected payment dates. On a quarterly basis, the Company remeasures these obligations and records changes in their fair value as an adjustment to earnings. Changes to contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments to discount rates, accretion of the discount rates due to the passage of time, changes in the Company’s estimates of the likelihood or timing of achieving development or commercial milestones, changes in the probability of certain clinical events, or changes in the assumed probability associated with regulatory approval. The assumptions related to determining the value of contingent consideration include a significant amount of judgment, and any changes in the underlying estimates could have a material impact on the amount of contingent consideration expense recorded in any given period.
Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets	Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets The Company acquires intangible assets in connection with business combinations and asset purchases. The acquired intangible assets are recorded at fair value, which is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The determination of fair value requires significant estimates, including, but not limited to, projected revenues, projected gross margins, the amount and timing of projected future cash flows, the discount rate used to discount those cash flows, the assessment of the asset's life cycle, including the timing and expected costs to complete in-process projects, and the consideration of legal, technical, regulatory, economic, and competitive risks. Discount rates may vary across acquisitions based on the purchase price, forecasts, and relative risks of each acquired company. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the reporting unit does not pass the qualitative assessment, then the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. The Company determined, after performing a qualitative review of each reporting unit, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units substantially exceeds the respective carrying amounts. Accordingly, in 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment loss. Indefinite-lived intangible assets relate to in-process research and development acquired in business combinations. The estimated fair values of in-process research and development projects acquired in a business combination which have not reached technological feasibility are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of the project, the capitalized amount is amortized over its estimated useful life. If the project is abandoned, all remaining capitalized amounts are written off immediately. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset's carrying value exceeds its fair value. In-process research and development projects acquired in an asset acquisition are expensed unless the project has an alternative future use. Management reviews the carrying amounts of other finite-lived intangible assets and long-lived tangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit, and adverse legal or regulatory developments. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization periods, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair market value. Estimated fair market value is determined primarily using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. For the purposes of identifying and measuring impairment, long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. In 2025, the Company recorded a $40.0 million impairment loss related to certain developed technology assets. In 2024, the Company did not record any impairment loss related to its intangible assets.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that a position would more likely than not be sustained based upon its technical merit if challenged by the relevant taxing authority and taken by management to the court of last resort. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the United States tax effects of global intangible low-taxed income as a component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The Company evaluates quarterly the realizability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its valuation allowance and adjusting the amount, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are both historical experience and the Company's forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable taxing jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company's effective tax rate on future earnings.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include employee equity share options, nonvested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values. Stock-based awards consist of stock options, restricted stock units (service-based and market-based), and employee stock purchase subscriptions. Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over each award's requisite service period (vesting period) on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock units, the Company issues common stock. Upon a participant's retirement, all unvested stock options are immediately forfeited. In addition, upon retirement, a participant will immediately vest in 25% of service-based restricted stock units for each full year of employment with the Company measured from the grant date. All remaining unvested service-based restricted stock units are immediately forfeited. For market-based restricted stock units, upon retirement and in certain other specified cases, a participant will receive a pro-rated portion of the shares that would ultimately be issued based on attainment of the performance goals as determined on the vesting date. The pro-rated portion is based on the participant's whole months of service with the Company during the performance period prior to the date of termination.
Derivatives	Derivatives The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its currency exchange rate risk and its interest rate risk. It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments involve credit risk in the event the counterparty should default. The Company diversifies its derivative financial instruments among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. The Company also uses International Swap Dealers Association master-netting agreements. The master-netting agreements provide for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default, as defined by the agreements. The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross-currency swap contracts to manage its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates from (1) future cash flows associated with intercompany transactions and certain local currency expenses expected to occur within approximately 1.5 years (designated as cash flow hedges), (2) its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries (designated as net investment hedges) and (3) foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities (designated as fair value hedges). The Company also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to offset the transaction gains and losses associated with the revaluation of certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies, resulting principally from intercompany and local currency transactions. All derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. For each derivative instrument that is designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recognized immediately to earnings, and offsets the loss or gain on the underlying hedged item. The Company reports in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss the gain or loss on derivative financial instruments that are designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassifies these gains and losses into earnings in the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment and would be reclassified into earnings if the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. The portion of the change in fair value related to components excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment are amortized into earnings over the life of the derivative. The gains and losses on derivative financial instruments for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in each period based upon the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument. Upon settlement, cash flows from net investment hedges are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and cash flows from all other derivative financial instruments are reported as operating activities.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09 on income taxes which requires entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disaggregated disclosures about income taxes paid. This guidance requires public entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state, and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance for the year ended December 31, 2025 and applied the guidance prospectively. For further information, see Note 19. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07 on derivatives and hedging and revenue from contracts with customers. The amendment provides clarity on application of derivative accounting to certain nonexchange-traded contracts with features based on operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those periods and can be applied on a prospective or modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 on internal-use software related to accounting for internal-use software costs. The amendment in this update improve the operability of the guidance by clarifying the criteria for capitalization, which begins when both of the following occur: (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance can be applied on a fully prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on income statement presentation to require disclosure, in the notes to the financial statements, of disaggregated information about certain costs and expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation and amortization included in each relevant expense caption within continuing operations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
