Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

    The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition.” The information furnished in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

    On August 1, 2024 Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (Mettler-Toledo) issued a press release (the Release) setting forth its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. A copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth.

Adjusted Earnings per Share

    Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share excluding certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is diluted earnings per common share.

    Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax, which management believes are not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.

    Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material limitations as follows:

    It does not include certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. Because non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges are components of diluted earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges, has material limitations.

Adjusted Operating Profit

    Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Profit as gross profit less research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before taxes.

    Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is important supplemental information for investors. Adjusted Operating Profit is used internally as the principal profit measurement by its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to the segments.

    On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Profit is an important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is an important performance measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges related to intangible assets.

    Adjusted Operating Profit is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Profit is not intended to represent operating income under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit, has certain material limitations as follows:

•						It excludes amortization expense. Because this item is recurring, any measure that excludes amortization expense has material limitations.
•						It does not include interest expense. Because Mettler-Toledo has borrowed money to finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted Mettler-Toledo in generating revenue. Therefore any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
•						It excludes restructuring charges. Because restructuring charges are a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes restructuring charges, has material limitations.
•						It excludes other charges (income), net. Because other charges (income), net is a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes other charges (income), net, has material limitations.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, less capital expenditures, and before restructuring, acquisition cost payments, and tax reform payments. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities

    

3

---

    Mettler-Toledo believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors. It is used internally by senior management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of providing guidance on possible future cash flows.

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities recorded under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, has certain material limitations as follows:

•						It includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment, which are not considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. It excludes the portion of purchases of property, plant and equipment relating to government contract. Therefore any measure that includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment and excludes the portion of purchases of property, plant and equipment relating to government contracts.
•						It excludes restructuring, acquisition payments, and tax reform payments which are considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that excludes these items has material limitations.

Local Currency Sales Growth

    Mettler-Toledo defines Local Currency Sales Growth as sales growth excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is U.S. dollar sales growth.

    Mettler-Toledo believes that Local Currency Sales Growth is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo believes local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods.

    Local Currency Sales Growth is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Local Currency Sales Growth is not intended to represent U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. dollar sales growth as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth

    Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth, has certain material limitations as follows:

    It does not include the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. Because the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is a component of sales growth under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, has material limitations.

    Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures, but reflect additional measures of comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo’s operations that, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net

4

earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

    Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

    The Release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures recorded under U.S. GAAP. The Release also presents Local Currency Sales Growth in conjunction with its most comparable financial measure recorded under U.S. GAAP.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE						Exhibit 99.1

METTLER-TOLEDO INTERNATIONAL INC. REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, USA – August 1, 2024 – Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (NYSE: MTD) today announced second quarter results for 2024. Provided below are the highlights:

•Reported sales declined 4% compared with the prior year. In local currency, sales decreased 2% in the quarter as currency reduced sales growth by 2%.

•Net earnings per diluted share as reported (EPS) were $10.37, compared with $9.69 in the prior-year period. Adjusted EPS was $9.65, a decrease of 5% over the prior-year amount of $10.19. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure, and a reconciliation to EPS is included on the last page of the attached schedules.

Second Quarter Results

Patrick Kaltenbach, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our team continued to execute very well in the second quarter and delivered good Laboratory sales growth in Europe and the Americas. As expected, market conditions in China remained weak. We continue to benefit from our productivity and margin initiatives, which helped mitigate the impact of foreign exchange headwinds and supported better-than-expected financial results.”

GAAP Results

EPS in the quarter was $10.37, compared with the prior-year amount of $9.69. EPS included a one-time non-cash tax benefit of $1.07 per share.

Compared with the prior year, total reported sales declined 4% to $946.8 million. By region, reported sales increased 5% in Europe and 2% in the Americas and declined 16% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $243.2 million, compared with $263.4 million in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Results

Adjusted EPS was $9.65, a decrease of 5% over the prior-year amount of $10.19.

Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency declined 2% as currency reduced sales growth by 2%. By region, local currency sales increased 6% in Europe and 2% in the Americas and declined 12% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $284.1 million, compared with the prior-year amount of $307.7 million.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.

Six Month Results

GAAP Results

EPS was $18.60, compared with the prior-year amount of $18.15, and included the previously mentioned one-time non-cash tax benefit of $1.07 per share.

Compared with the prior year, total reported sales declined 2% to $1.873 billion. By region, reported sales increased 6% in Europe and 3% in the Americas and declined 14% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $463.7 million, compared with $490.0 million in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Results

Adjusted EPS was $18.53, a decrease of 2% over the prior-year amount of $18.82.

---

Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency declined 1% as currency reduced sales growth by 1%. By region, local currency sales increased 6% in Europe and 2% in the Americas and declined 11% in Asia/Rest of World. Excluding the first quarter benefit from delayed fourth quarter 2023 shipments, year-to-date local currency sales declined 4%, including flat local currency sales in Europe and the Americas and a 12% decline in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $551.4 million, compared with the prior-year amount of $574.2 million.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.

Outlook

Management cautions that market conditions are uncertain and could change quickly. Based on today's assessment, management anticipates local currency sales for the third quarter of 2024 will increase approximately 1%, and Adjusted EPS is forecast to be $9.90 to $10.05, representing growth of 1% to 3%. Included in the third quarter guidance is an estimated 1% headwind to Adjusted EPS growth due to adverse currency.

For the full year, management anticipates local currency sales in 2024 will increase approximately 2%, and Adjusted EPS is forecast to be in the range of $40.20 to $40.50, representing growth of approximately 6% to 8%. Included in the full year guidance is an estimated 2% headwind to Adjusted EPS growth due to adverse currency. This compares with previous local currency sales growth guidance of approximately 2% and Adjusted EPS guidance of $39.90 to $40.40.

The Company does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the timing and amount of future restructuring and other non-recurring items.

Conclusion

Kaltenbach concluded, “Market conditions globally have remained soft, especially in China. However, we expect our local currency sales to return to growth in the second half of the year primarily due to easier comparisons, as well as execution of our Spinnaker sales and marketing program and leveraging our innovative product portfolio. We remain focused on continuing to strengthen our Company for the future and believe we are in an excellent position to continue to gain market share and deliver future growth.”
