Item 1. Business.

General

Embecta Corp. (also referred to herein as "Embecta") ~~was~~is ~~formed~~a ~~through~~leading aglobal ~~spin-off~~medical ofdevice ~~the~~company, ~~diabetes~~primarily ~~care~~focused ~~business~~on ~~(the~~providing ~~"Separation")~~solutions ~~from~~to ~~Becton,~~improve ~~Dickinson~~the health and ~~Company~~well-being ~~("BD")~~of people living with diabetes. All references in this Form 10-K to "Embecta", "the Company", "we", "our" or "us" refer to Embecta Corp., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated by the context. On April 1, 2022 (the "Separation Date"), Embecta and BD entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, BD agreed to spin off its diabetes care business ("Diabetes Care Business") into Embecta, a new, publicly traded company.

~~We are a leading global medical device company focused on providing solutions to improve the health and well-being of people living with diabetes.~~ Building on our 100-year centennial, we believe that our products have become one of the most widely recognized and respected brands in diabetes management throughout the world. We estimate that our products are used by more than 30 million people in over 100 countries for insulin administration and to aid with the daily management of diabetes.

We have a broad portfolio of marketed products, including a variety of pen needles, syringes and safety injection devices. Our conventional pen needles are sterile, single-use, medical devices, designed to be used in conjunction with pen injectors that inject insulin or other diabetes medications. We also sell safety pen needles, which have shields on both ends of the cannula that automatically deploy after the injection to help prevent needlestick exposure and injury during injection and disposal. Our conventional and safety pen needles are compatible and frequently used with widely available pen injectors in the market today. In addition to pen needles, we sell sterile, single-use insulin syringes, which are used to inject insulin drawn from insulin vials. We also sell safety insulin syringes, which have a sliding safety arm that can be activated with one-hand after the injection to help protect healthcare workers from needlestick injuries.

In addition to selling pen needles, syringes and safety devices, we seek to promote advances in diabetes care through thought leadership, and engagement with the diabetes community, healthcare providers and other stakeholders. In addition, we intend to continue to explore strategic collaborative partnerships and acquisition opportunities that enable us to accelerate our growth and give us access to innovative technologies, complementary product lines, and new markets.

Competition

The diabetes care industry is highly competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and innovation. Our products compete across a continuum of therapies and administration modalities designed to manage diabetes. We face competition and innovation from both new and existing companies pursuing new delivery devices, injection technologies, drugs, and therapeutics for the treatment of diabetes.

Companies with whom we currently compete in the diabetes drug injection business include Novo Nordisk, ~~HTL-Strefa~~MTD Group, and Terumo Medical Corporation. We also compete with providers of insulin pumps and other insulin administration devices. We compete in the marketplace based on a number of factors, including product quality, clinical innovation, price, service, reputation and commercial excellence.

Global Operations

Our global manufacturing and distribution network, together with our commercial team, enable us to produce and distribute our products to end users and healthcare providers in over 100 countries. We have three manufacturing sites located in Ireland, the United States and China. We believe that these manufacturing sites enable us to efficiently and consistently produce high-quality, safe and reliable products. We distribute our products through a variety of channels, including retail, hospitals, pharmacies and other institutional channels. Our commercial team and distribution networks enable us to reach a broad base of customers across the globe.

Raw Materials and Components

We use a broad range of raw materials in the manufacture of our products. We purchase all our raw materials and certain components from third-party suppliers. The primary materials that make up our pen needles and insulin syringes are cannula, plastic resin, adhesive, needle lubricants, rubber stoppers and packaging material. We purchase most of these and other materials from a single or limited number of sources for various reasons, including quality assurance, cost-effectiveness, and continuity of supply, among others.

In connection with our separation from Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") in 2022 (the “Separation”), we entered into a cannula supply agreement with BD, whereby BD sells to us cannulas for incorporation into our pen needles and syringes. ~~Subsequent to the Separation,~~ BD retained ownership of all cannula production activities and the associated intellectual property rights of BD and its subsidiaries relating to cannula, the manufacture thereof and other critical cannula-related technology.

The design and formulation of certain materials and components is proprietary and the intellectual property rights may be owned exclusively by one party. In the case of sole sourced parts, we manage risk through holding inventory ourselves and at our suppliers' facilities to ensure continuity of supply and lower the risk of disruption.

Research and Development

Our strategy seeks to update and develop enhanced technology for our portfolio of current and future products by focusing on patient unmet needs and market expansion.

OnWe ~~November~~are ~~22,~~also ~~2024,~~exploring the ~~Company's~~development ~~Board~~ of ~~Directors~~products ~~approved~~that aallow ~~plan~~us to ~~discontinue~~expand ~~internal~~our ~~and~~portfolio ~~external~~outside ~~investment~~of indiabetes. ~~the~~For ~~research~~example, ~~and~~we intend to work on development of ~~its~~new ~~patch~~products ~~pump~~in ~~program.~~category ~~The~~and ~~Company~~patient ~~will~~adjacencies, ~~refocus~~such ~~its~~as ~~research~~drug delivery and ~~development~~chronic ~~strategy~~care, onthat ~~its~~leverage ~~core~~our ~~business~~manufacturing and channel expertise.

Intellectual Property and Licenses

Intellectual property is a strategic priority for our business. We use a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, nondisclosure agreements and other measures to establish and protect our proprietary rights. In many cases, we own this intellectual property directly, but in other cases, we access technologies through a combination of license and supply arrangements.

While no single patent or patent family is material to our business, our pen needle and syringe products contain features that are protected by a portfolio of utility and design patents and pending patent applications, including features related to safety, comfort, ease of use, and visual features. Generally, patent protection for these products and technologies is sought in the United States, Canada, Europe, China and Japan. We are not aware of any pending third-party claims or challenges that would be expected to materially affect the patent protection of these products or technologies.

As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, we held about ~~670~~655 patents in the United States and in various foreign countries in which we conduct business, as well as about 5045 ~~patents~~patent applications pending worldwide, protecting our core injection business. The majority of our United States and foreign patents for individual products are in force for twenty years from the initial filing date. The actual protection afforded by a patent, which can vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, the scope of its coverage and the availability of legal remedies in the country.

Our products and services are sold around the world under various trade names, trademarks and brand names, which we consider to be valuable in the marketing of our products in each segment. As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, we had about ~~400~~455 trademark registrations in the United States and in various foreign countries in which we conduct business, as well as about 85160 trademark applications pending worldwide for our core injection business.

Embecta owns, and BD provides Embecta a license to use, intellectual property rights necessary to operate our business. BD grants Embecta a license to use such intellectual property rights on the terms and conditions set forth in an intellectual property matters agreement, which are described under “~~Agreements~~Spinoff ~~Related~~from ~~to the Separation~~BD.”

Regulation

~~Changes~~Our inproducts ~~legislation or government policies, including with respect to licensing, health information privacy~~ and ~~data privacy and healthcare costs, reimbursement, coverage and access, can have a material impact on our worldwide~~ operations. ~~Our operations~~ are subject to, and affected by, regulations of medical devices and drugs promulgated by federal, state and local authorities in the United States, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), other national regulatory agencies, and ~~other~~foreign regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. FDA and other regulations govern, among other things, product design and development, preclinical and clinical testing, pre-market clearance and approval, manufacturing, labeling, product storage, supply chain, global trade, advertising and promotion, sales and distribution, pricing and reimbursement, sampling, quality control, post-market adverse event reporting, postmarket surveillance, complaint handling, repair or recall of products, ~~and~~ record keeping, storage, and disposal activities. These regulations not only affect products in our existing markets, but also our ability to market new products under development. For existing and potential new products, failure to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements can result in enforcement actions by the FDA and other regulatory agencies, which may include warning letters that require corrective action, fines, injunctions, rescissions of previously granted clearances and/or approvals and other penalties. Additionally, changes in legislation or government policies, including with respect to licensing, health information, privacy and data privacy, security, cybersecurity, healthcare costs, protection of the confidentiality of certain personal information (including patient health information, financial information and other sensitive personal information), reimbursement, coverage and access, can substantially increase the time, difficulty, and costs incurred in developing, maintaining, and obtaining market clearance or approval, and marketing newly developed or existing products, and can have a material impact on our worldwide operations.

We maintain robust FDA Quality System Regulation and ISO Quality Systems that establish standards for our product design, manufacturing, testing, recording keeping, and distribution processes, inclusive of Current Good Manufacturing Practices. The FDA and other regulatory agencies engage in periodic reviews and inspections of our quality systems, as well as product performance and advertising and promotional materials. As a medical device manufacturer and distributor, our manufacturing facilities and the facilities of our suppliers are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA, certain corresponding state agencies, and other national and foreign regulatory ~~bodies~~authorities. Prior to marketing or selling most of our products, we must secure clearance or approval from the FDA and counterpart non-United States regulatory agencies. These regulatory controls, as well as any changes in agency policies, can affect the time and cost associated with the development, introduction and continued availability of new and existing products. Where possible, we anticipate these ~~factors in product development and planning processes. These~~

factors in product development and planning processes. These agencies possess the authority to take various administrative and legal actions against us, such as product recalls, product seizures and other civil and criminal sanctions.

International sales of our products are subject to foreign government regulations, which may vary substantially from country to country. The time required to obtain clearance or approval by a foreign regulatory authority may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance or approval, and the requirements may differ significantly, particularly outside of the European Union, Canada and other industrialized countries. The European Union has adopted various regulations and directives regulating the design, development, clinical trials, manufacture, labeling, and adverse event reporting, among other things, for medical devices, including the EU Medical Device Regulation. Assessing conformity with the various regulations and directives depends on the class of product, usually including scrutiny and audit by a third-party “Notified Body” which is required for a manufacturer to commercially distribute the product throughout the European Union and affix the mandatory conforming marking, otherwise known as the CE mark, to their medical devices. In addition, other jurisdictions continue to update requirements for marketing and sale of products in their geography, often becoming more stringent. As we operate in other regions and continue to expand into emerging markets, new requirements may require updates to our quality management system and operations. These global changes are monitored and reviewed as part of the overall quality lifecycle.

Agreements that Embecta entered into with BD that govern aspects of Embecta's relationship with BD following the Separation include, but are not limited to:

•Transition Services Agreements ("TSA") - Pursuant to the TSA, as amended, and the related Logistics Services Agreement, as amended (“LSA”), Embecta and BD and their respective affiliates provide each other, on an interim, transitional basis, various services, including, but not limited to, information technology, procurement, quality and regulatory affairs, medical affairs, tax and treasury services, distribution logistics, and shared services infrastructure support for order-to-cash, source-to-pay, and record-to-report (collectively, the “Interim Business Continuity Processes”). The agreed-upon charges for such services are generally intended to allow the servicing party to charge a price comprised of out-of-pocket costs and expenses and a predetermined profit in the form of a mark-up of such out-of-pocket costs and expenses. Such services provided pursuant to the TSA were to terminate no later than April 1, 2024, 24 months following the Separation, and such services provided pursuant to the LSA were to terminate no later than January 1, 2024, which BD had agreed to extend through March 31, 2024. On March 28, 2024, BD granted a limited extension until November 1, 2024 of certain services under the TSA, LSA and other transaction documents in a limited set of markets (the "Extension") to support the Interim Business Continuity Processes.

•Distribution Agreements - Embecta and BD entered into distribution agreements for certain territories, principally in the Asia Pacific Region and Latin America, whereby a subsidiary of BD was appointed as a distributor of Embecta or its relevant subsidiaries to support certain commercial operations of the diabetes care business on a transitional basis in these regions for a maximum of two years. The distribution agreements each continued until either (1) certain governmental approvals needed to distribute products in the defined territory were obtained and order-to-cash processes and other services of the Company for such territory were migrated to an alternative commercial arrangement between the parties or (2) the applicable services were transitioned to a third-party distributor or independently performed by Embecta, but in any event no longer than the maximum term of two years, except certain such agreements may be extended in connection with the Extension. All distribution agreements in the Asia Pacific Region and Latin America terminated and expired in October 2024. Embecta paid BD a return of 1.5% to 2.0% of net revenue for each territory.

•Cannula Supply Agreement - Embecta and BD entered into a cannula supply agreement whereby BD sells to Embecta cannulas for incorporation into Embecta's existing syringes and pen needles, safety syringes and safety pen needles, and products currently under development. BD retains ownership of all cannula technology, cannula production activities and the intellectual property rights therein. Embecta is limited to a maximum number of cannulas that it can purchase under the cannula supply agreement, which will be an absolute upper limit of cannulas per year and yearly limits that vary with annual demand. The cannula supply agreement is terminable by Embecta without cause by providing at least 36 months’ written notice; however, such termination can be effective no earlier than five years from the Separation. The cannula supply agreement will be terminable by BD without cause by providing at least 36 months’ written notice; however, such termination can be effective no earlier than ten years from the Separation. However, in the event of a change of control of Embecta, BD has the

right to terminate the cannula supply agreement in its sole discretion. The cannula supply agreement will also terminate automatically, subject to a 36-month wind-down period, if Embecta’s yearly forecast is below the required minimum purchase amount, and the parties have other customary termination rights for material breach or bankruptcy of the other party.

•Tax Matters Agreement - Pursuant to the tax matters agreement, Embecta agreed to certain covenants that contain restrictions intended to preserve the tax-free status of the distribution and certain related transactions. Embecta may take certain actions prohibited by these covenants only if Embecta obtains and provides to BD an opinion from a United States tax counsel or accountant of recognized national standing, in either case satisfactory to BD, to the effect that such action would not jeopardize the tax-free status of the distribution and certain related transactions, or if Embecta obtains prior written consent of BD. Embecta is barred from taking any action, or failing to take any action, where such action or failure to act adversely affects or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the tax-free status of the distribution and certain related transactions or result in certain other taxes to BD, for all relevant time periods.

•Logistics Services Agreement - Embecta and BD entered into the LSA whereby BD provides Embecta with certain order-to-cash and logistics services to support certain commercial operations for a maximum term of two years, which BD had agreed to extend pursuant to the Extension. Embecta pays BD (i) reimbursable costs, including all shipping costs, selling costs, general administration costs, costs of goods, research and development services costs, and other income and expenses related solely to the diabetes care business, that are incurred by BD directly, as allocated costs or as costs payable to a third party and (ii) a monthly administrative fee of 1.0% of net revenue (which increased to 1.25% of net revenue after January 1, 2024).

•Other agreements that Embecta entered into with BD include, but are not limited to, an employee matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, local support services agreements, certain other manufacturing arrangements and a process services agreement and lease agreement for a manufacturing facility location in Holdrege, Nebraska.

You should carefully consider the following risks and other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating Embecta and Embecta common stock. The summary below provides an overview of many of the risks and uncertainties we encounter that are described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K that could materially and adversely affect Embecta’s business, financial condition or results of operations. An investment in our common stock involves a variety of risks and uncertainties. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity, and future prospects. The risks we face include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks Related to Embecta’s Business

•The medical technology industry is very competitive.

•Embecta generates a significant amount of its profits and cash flows from a few key products, and any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of these products could have an adverse impact on Embecta’s sales, results of operations and cash flows.

•Technological breakthroughs in diabetes treatment or prevention may reduce demand for Embecta’s products.

•Embecta obtains components and raw materials for its products from third parties, including BD. These third parties may fail to perform under their agreements with Embecta, or there may be a reduction, interruption, or ~~interruption~~termination in the manufacturing and supply of these components and raw materials. Any such failure to perform or a reduction, interruption, or ~~interruption~~termination in supply could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business and operations.

•Embecta may experience difficulties and delays in the manufacturing of its products or sterilization operations, and any such difficulties and delays could adversely affect Embecta’s business.

•A substantial portion of Embecta’s revenue is derived from sales to a few customers. If these customers reduce the amount of product that they purchase from Embecta, reduce the amount that they are willing to pay for such products or increase charges to distribute such products, Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

•Embecta’s products are subject to continuous reimbursement, coverage and access scrutiny by both private and government payers, including the scope of products covered, access and coverage among product brands and manufacturers, reimbursement limitations and price adjustment restrictions. A change in any of these factors could have an adverse impact on Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations.

•Embecta may enter into strategic collaborations, in-licensing arrangements or alliances with third parties that may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of revenue.

•Embecta’s sales and marketing efforts rely upon independent distributors that are free to market products that compete with Embecta’s products, and if Embecta is unable to maintain or expand its network of independent distributors, its business could be materially adversely affected.

•Embecta’s future growth is dependent in part upon the development of new products, and there can be no assurance that such products will be developed or be successful.

•If the third parties on which Embecta relies to conduct its clinical trials and to assist it with pre-clinical development do not perform as contractually required or expected, or if market or clinical or other studies are unfavorable to its products in development, Embecta may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance or approval or commercialize its products.

•Embecta may be unable to maintain strong relationships with physicians and other healthcare professionals which could adversely affect its business.

•Embecta may not be able to successfully execute its acquisition strategy, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

•Embecta’s international operations subject it to certain business risks.

•Trade actions, such as tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, and private or governmental "buy local" initiatives could adversely and unexpectedly impact our business.

•Embecta’s business and operations are subject to risks related to climate change.

•Embecta's intellectual property and proprietary technology are material to its business operations and are subject to infringement and other risks.

•Breaches of Embecta’s ~~information~~Information ~~systems~~Systems (as defined in Item 1C of this Annual Report on Form 10-K) or cyberattacks could adversely affect our business.

•A disruption at one of our facilities could adversely affect our business and operating results.

•Insurance coverage may be inadequate or unavailable to cover any product liability losses we incur.

•Embecta is subject to a number of restrictive covenants under its indebtedness, including customary operating restrictions and financial covenants, which could restrict Embecta’s ability to pay dividends or adversely affect its financing options and liquidity position.

•Embecta is subject to risks associated with public health threats, such as pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on Embecta's financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to the Separation and Distribution from BD

•Embecta has a limited history of operating as an independent company, and its historical financial information may not be a reliable indicator of its future results.

•Since the Separation, Embecta’s financial profile has changed, and it is a smaller, less diversified company than BD prior to the Separation.

•Embecta may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the Separation.

•In order to conduct its operations and meet its financial reporting and other obligations, Embecta relies on certain services provided by BD pursuant to the transaction documents entered into with BD in connection with the Separation. If Embecta is unable to extend the services on similar terms or replace the services that BD currently provides to it on terms that are at least as favorable to Embecta as the terms on which BD is providing these services, or if BD otherwise terminates any of the services, Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

•Following the end of the transition period, Embecta will be required to rebrand its products to remove the BD name, transfer or obtain new manufacturing, supply chain, regulatory and product licenses and registrations in the name of Embecta, which could adversely affect its ability to attract and maintain end users or which could result in delays or interruptions of Embecta's commercialization and distribution operations or the loss of customers or revenue, all of which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

•Embecta has incurred debt obligations that could adversely affect its business and profitability and its ability to meet other obligations.

•Embecta may be affected by significant restrictions under the tax matters agreement in order to avoid triggering significant tax-related liabilities.

•Embecta may be held liable to BD if it fails to perform under its agreements with BD.

•There could be significant income tax liability if the Separation or certain related transactions are determined to be taxable for United States federal income tax purposes.

•The transfer to Embecta of certain contracts, permits and other assets and rights may require the consents, approvals of, or provide other rights to, third parties and governmental authorities. If such consents or approvals are not obtained, Embecta may not be entitled to the full benefit of such contracts, permits and other assets and rights, which could increase its expenses or otherwise harm its business and financial performance.

•The closing of the Separation was deferred in certain jurisdictions, and may not occur at all in such jurisdictions, due to local regulatory requirements, which may adversely affect Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

•Satisfaction of indemnification obligations following the distribution could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Embecta’s Common Stock

•The price and trading volume of Embecta’s common stock may be volatile, and stockholders could lose all or part of their investment in Embecta.

•The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that has been identified and our ability to remediate such material weakness.

•Embecta cannot guarantee the timing, amount or payment of any dividends on its common stock.

•Anti-takeover provisions could enable Embecta’s Board of Directors to resist a takeover attempt by a third-party and limit the power of its stockholders.

•Embecta’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the state courts within the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by Embecta stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against Embecta and its directors and officers.

The risks described below may not be the only risks we face but are risks we believe may be material at this time. Other risks of which we are not yet aware, or that we currently believe are not material, may also materially adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the events or circumstances described below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely impacted and the value of an investment in our securities could decline. Investors and prospective investors should consider the risks described below and the information contained under the caption “"Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before deciding whether to invest in our securities. We may update these risk factors in our future periodic reports.

Risks Related to Embecta’s Business

The medical technology industry is very competitive.

Embecta faces significant competition from a wide range of companies in each market in which its products are sold. These include large companies with multiple product lines and non-traditional entrants such as technology companies, some of

which may have greater financial and marketing resources than Embecta in the United States or other markets, as well as smaller, more specialized companies.

Embecta’s ability to compete will also be affected by changing preferences and requirements of people with diabetes, as well as changes in the ways healthcare services are delivered. Efforts to contain healthcare costs by governments and the private sector are also resulting in increased emphasis on products that reduce costs, improve clinical results and expand access. Embecta’s ability to remain competitive will depend on how well it will meet these changing market demands in terms of its product offerings and marketing approaches.

The medical technology industry is subject to rapid technological change and frequent introduction of new products. The development of new or improved products, processes or technologies by other companies (such as new technologies to administer insulin) that provide better features, pricing, clinical outcomes or economic value may make Embecta’s existing or new products less competitive. In some instances, competitors, including pharmaceutical companies, also offer, or are attempting to develop, alternative therapies, including oral and once-weekly anti-diabetic drugs (e.g., SGLT-2s, once-weekly insulin, GLP-1s, and GLP-1 combination products), for disease states (including diabetes) that may be administered and delivered less frequently compared to conventional and historical multiple daily injections or without a medical device, such as pen needles, entirely. Lower cost producers have also created pricing pressure, particularly in emerging markets. There can be no assurance that Embecta’s products will be commercially successful, and it is possible that its business will be adversely affected from time to time as a result of products developed by its competitors.

Consolidation among payers, retailers, wholesalers, healthcare systems, and other providers is resulting in greater purchasing power for these companies. Group purchasing organizations and integrated health delivery networks have also served to concentrate purchasing decisions for some customers, which has led to downward pricing pressure for medical device suppliers. Further consolidation in the industry could intensify competition among medical device suppliers and exert additional pressure on the demand for, and prices of, Embecta’s products.

Embecta generates a significant amount of its profits and cash flows from a few key products, and any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of these products could have an adverse impact on Embecta’s sales, results of operations and cash flows.

Embecta’s ability to generate profits and operating cash flow depends largely upon the continued profitability of its key products, such as its pen needles and syringes. For example, for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, sales of pen needles accounted for approximately $~~844~~784 million, or 7573%, of total net revenues. Any event that adversely affects the sale or profitability of this product could adversely affect Embecta’s sales, results of operations and cash flows. These adverse events could include a decrease in the demand for such products, the pressure to decrease the price of such products, any increase in costs of manufacturing such products or other supply chain disruptions, increased availability and marketability of competitive products, increased competition from the introduction of new products related to the treatment of diabetes or removal from the market of these products for any reason.

Technological breakthroughs in diabetes treatment or prevention may reduce demand for Embecta’s products.

The diabetes treatment industry is subject to technological change and product innovation. A number of companies and medical researchers are developing and commercializing new ways to deliver insulin to patients, including insulin administration technologies that do not require the use of a needle, that reduce the frequency of insulin administration, or that treat diabetes without the use of insulin or by delaying the use of insulin, such as oral and once-weekly anti-diabetic drugs (e.g., SGLT-2s, once-weekly insulins, GLP-1s, and GLP-1 combination products). If they are successful in developing and commercializing these technologies or treatment therapies, the demand for Embecta’s products could decline or be delayed. Furthermore, the National Institutes of Health and other supporters of diabetes research are continually seeking ways to prevent diabetes. Any technological breakthroughs in diabetes prevention or treatment could decrease demand for Embecta’s products and have a material adverse effect on its business or results of operations.

Embecta obtains components, services and raw materials for its products from third parties, including BD. These third parties may fail to perform under their agreements with Embecta, or there may be a reduction, interruption, or ~~interruption~~termination in the manufacturing and supply of these components and raw materials. Any such failure to perform or a reduction, interruption, or ~~interruption~~termination in supply could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business and operations.

Embecta relies on a number of third parties to supply and manufacture the components, services and raw materials for its products. For example, in connection with the Separation and prior to the distribution, Embecta and BD entered into a cannula supply agreement, whereby BD sells to Embecta cannulas for incorporation into Embecta’s products for sale within the diabetes care sector. Cannulas are a component part of a wide variety of medical devices that use needles to deliver fluid into, or through which blood is drawn from, the body. BD retains ownership of all cannula production activities and all intellectual property rights of BD and its subsidiaries relating to cannula, the manufacture thereof and other critical cannula-related technology. Pricing under the cannula supply agreement is determined by BD based on several factors, including Embecta's yearly forecast, the cost of raw materials and other cost methodologies. The cannula

other critical cannula-related technology. Pricing under the cannula supply agreement is determined by BD based on several factors, including Embecta's yearly forecast, the cost of raw materials and other cost methodologies. The cannula supply agreement is terminable by BD without cause by providing at least 36 months’ written notice; however, such termination can be effective no earlier than ten years from the Separation. In the event of a change of control of Embecta, BD also has the right to terminate the cannula supply agreement. The cannula supply agreement will also terminate automatically, subject to a 36-month wind-down period, if Embecta’s yearly forecast is below the required minimum purchase amount, and the parties will have other customary termination rights for material breach or bankruptcy of the other party. Embecta is also limited to a maximum number of cannulas that it can purchase under the cannula supply agreement. If BD fails to perform under this agreement or BD terminates this agreement in accordance with its terms and, in either case, Embecta cannot find a way to purchase cannula from another party or manufacture cannula, or if Embecta needs to purchase more cannula than it is permitted under cannula supply agreement, Embecta may have insufficient cannulas for its products, which could materially adversely affect Embecta’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, in connection with the Separation, Embecta and BD entered into a lease agreement for a manufacturing facility location in Holdrege, Nebraska that Embecta leases from BD ~~and several contract manufacturing agreements~~ where BD provides certain manufacturing services to Embecta. If BD is unable to perform under these arrangements, terminates certain services or modifies its operations and Embecta cannot find substantially similar alternatives to perform these services or is forced to change its operations as a result, Embecta may incur additional costs, delays or other deficiencies in its operations, which could materially adversely affect Embecta’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Embecta also obtains other component parts and raw materials from other third parties. In many cases, Embecta does not have long-term supply agreements with suppliers of these component parts and raw materials, and its arrangements with these suppliers are on a purchase-order basis. Certain raw materials that we obtain from suppliers are subject to fluctuations in price and availability attributable to a number of factors, including general economic conditions and environments, such as new and changing tariff policies instituted by the U.S. government and foreign governments, commodity price fluctuations, the demand by other companies for the same raw materials and the availability of complementary and substitute materials. In some cases, Embecta’s agreements with suppliers can be terminated by either party by convenience upon short notice.

Certain raw materials and components used in the manufacture of pen needles and syringes, including cannulas, certain oil-based resins and rubber stoppers, are not always available from multiple sources. New laws or regulations influenced or adopted in response to local and international tariff policies, or climate change, among others, could also increase import duties, energy ~~and~~costs, transportation costs, asand ~~well as~~ the overall costs of certain raw materials and components. In addition, for quality assurance, cost-effectiveness and other reasons, Embecta purchases certain raw materials and components from a single supplier, who in turn sometimes rely on their own single or sole sourced sub-suppliers for certain materials or components. The price and supply of these materials and components may be affected or disrupted for reasons beyond Embecta’s control, including, but not limited to, such suppliers or sub-suppliers changes or cessation of business operations, whether voluntary or involuntary, and limitations in the availability of their materials, labor, or other resources. While Embecta works with suppliers to ensure continuity of supply, no assurance can be given that these efforts will be successful. In the event that any of its existing supply arrangements are terminated or there is a reduction or interruption of supply under these existing arrangements, Embecta expects that it will be able to enter into new arrangements with current or alternative suppliers, but these new arrangements may be on terms that are less favorable, including with respect to price and volume, and it may be costly or cause delays in Embecta’s manufacturing process to transition to a new supplier or new raw material or component, particularly in cases in which Embecta must comply with regulatory requirements relating to qualification of new suppliers or replacement raw materials or components from current suppliers. The termination, reduction or interruption in supply of these raw materials and components could adversely impact Embecta’s ability to manufacture and sell certain of its products.

Third-party suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, including failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, failure to comply with applicable regulations, equipment malfunction, component part supply constraints, and environmental factors, any of which could delay or impede their ability to supply the components and raw materials for Embecta’s products. In addition, these third-party suppliers may be influenced or compelled to stop or pause shipments to Embecta due to new or changing tariff policies as a result of supply chain disruption, uncertainty over costs, and potential retaliatory measures from their local governments. Any such failure to perform or a reduction, interruption, or termination in supply could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business and operations.

Embecta may experience difficulties and delays in the manufacturing of its products or sterilization operations, and any such difficulties and delays could adversely affect Embecta’s business.

Embecta may experience difficulties and delays inherent in manufacturing its products, such as failure of Embecta or its suppliers to comply with applicable regulations and quality assurance guidelines, which failures may lead to: manufacturing suspensions, shutdowns or delays; delays related to the construction of new facilities or the expansion of existing facilities; and other manufacturing or distribution problems, including changes in manufacturing production sites and limits to manufacturing capacity resulting from regulatory requirements, changes in types of products produced and physical limitations that could affect supply. In addition, Embecta could experience difficulties or delays in manufacturing its products caused by the impact of natural disasters, global conflicts, health pandemics, and shipping delays at ports of entry or exit. Manufacturing difficulties can also result in product shortages, leading to lost sales and reputational harm. In addition, many of Embecta’s products require sterilization prior to sale. In some instances, only a few facilities are qualified under applicable regulations to conduct this sterilization. To the extent Embecta or third parties (including BD) are unable to sterilize Embecta’s products, whether due to lack of capacity, increased demand, regulatory requirements or changes or otherwise, Embecta may be unable to transition sterilization to other sites or modalities in a timely or cost effective manner, or at all, which could have an adverse impact on Embecta’s business.

A substantial portion of Embecta’s revenue is derived from sales to a few customers. If these customers reduce the amount of product that they purchase from Embecta, reduce the amount that they are willing to pay for such products or increase charges to distribute such products, Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

A substantial portion of Embecta’s revenue is derived from sales to a few customers. For example, for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, gross sales to Cencora, McKesson Corporation, and Cardinal Health ~~and Cencora~~, Embecta’s three largest distributors, together represented approximately 4142% of Embecta’s worldwide gross sales. The costs charged by these and other distributors to distribute Embecta’s products is also subject to negotiation, and such distributors may propose increases in such charges from time to time. In addition, for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, direct gross sales to the five largest retail pharmacies for Embecta’s products together represented approximately 14% of Embecta’s worldwide gross sales. If any of Embecta’s largest customers reduce the amount of product that they purchase from Embecta, negotiate a reduced price for such products or increase the charges to distribute such products, each could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta’s products are subject to continuous reimbursement, coverage and access scrutiny by both private and government payers, including the scope of products covered, access and coverage among product brands and manufacturers, reimbursement limitations and price adjustment restrictions. A change in any of these factors could have an adverse impact on Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations.

In the United States, both public and private payers continue to take aggressive steps to control their expenditures for medical devices by placing restrictions on how many and which brands of devices they will provide coverage for across the spectrum of available products. Important competitive factors include quality, price, price and inflation guarantees and demonstrated ability to supply markets. Any failure by Embecta to differentiate its products with existing payers based on these and other factors or establish new payer relationships may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, consolidation and integration among healthcare institutions and providers significantly affects the competitive landscape for medical devices. Health plans, pharmacy benefit managers ("PBMs"), wholesalers, and other supply chain stakeholders have been consolidating into fewer, larger entities, thus enhancing their purchasing strength and importance. Specifically, private third-party insurers and governments typically maintain formularies that specify coverage (the conditions under which drugs and medical devices are included on a plan’s formulary) and reimbursement (including both the associated out-of-pocket cost to the consumer and payment to the distributor) to control costs by negotiating discounted prices, inflation guarantees and other terms in exchange for formulary inclusion.

Adverse formulary placement can lead to reduced usage of a medical device for the relevant patient population due to coverage restrictions, such as prior authorizations and formulary exclusions, or due to reimbursement limitations that result in higher consumer out-of-pocket cost, such as nonpreferred co-pay tiers, increased co-insurance levels, and higher deductibles. Consequently, medical device companies compete for formulary placement not only on the basis of product attributes but also by providing rebates. Price to the end customer is an increasingly important factor in formulary decisions, particularly in treatment areas in which the payer has taken the position that multiple branded products are therapeutically comparable (like that of diabetes). These downward pricing pressures could continue to negatively affect Embecta’s business. In addition to formulary placement, changes in insurance designs continue to drive greater consumer cost-sharing through high deductible plans and higher co-insurance or co-pays, increasing consumer sensitivity to product choice.

Embecta is consistently managing the burden of continued pressures associated with payers’ discount requirements to maintain positive formulary positions. If Embecta fails to maintain these formulary positions or reduces prices on its products to maintain these formulary positions, it could adversely affect Embecta’s results of operations. In addition to the evolving payer market that continues to put price pressure on Embecta’s products, new competitors have emerged. Competitors that are new to the pen needle and insulin syringe categories, along with some that have emerged to begin engaging with payers, have accelerated the focus on these product categories, providing payers more choices for formulary ~~partners within these medical device categories.~~

In addition to the ongoing challenges faced across the United States, Embecta faces similar access, pricing and reimbursement trends outside of the United States. Although payers’ preferences for particular devices varies regionally, key foundational considerations for choice include: product specifications, clinical evidence demonstrating efficacy, positive clinical outcomes, investment in proper injection technique training for customers and patients, and pricing. Embecta is challenged to deliver new, innovative and differentiated products, along with price concessions, in markets outside of the United States, and price guarantees in these regions are critical to maintain access to key distributors and end users. For example, in EMEA (which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa), the demand for medical devices that are paid out of pocket by the end user is limited. Access to these products is largely defined by the availability and size of government reimbursement, or, in a limited number of countries, the ability of manufacturers to negotiate reimbursement 9

10partners within these medical device categories. In addition to pressures imposed by public and private payers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) has begun implementing measures outlined in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 to negotiate prices on certain high cost prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries, as well as proposing competitive bidding on other medical devices, including those used for the treatment of diabetes. Embecta’s products are covered by Medicare Part D covered medical devices and if there is any expansion of price negotiations or competitive bidding by CMS, or other agencies, for the category of products within which Embecta competes and Embecta is unable to successfully negotiate favorable pricing for its products, it could adversely impact Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta may enter into strategic collaborations, in-licensing arrangements or alliances with third parties that may not result in the development of commercially viable products or the generation of revenue.

In the ordinary course of its business, Embecta may enter into strategic collaborations, in-licensing arrangements or alliances to develop product candidates. Other companies, including those with substantially greater financial, marketing, sales, technology or other resources, may compete with us for these arrangements. These arrangements are subject to a variety of risks, including:

•Embecta may not identify or secure these collaborations in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, on acceptable terms or at all;

•these collaborations may not result in the development of products that achieve commercial success or result in any revenue to Embecta;

•Embecta may not exercise sole decision making authority with respect to material development, regulatory submission, or commercial decisions under these collaborations, resulting in gridlock with its partners, and its collaborators may have economic or business interests or goals that are, or that may become, inconsistent with its business interests or goals;

•Embecta may have limited control over the amount and timing of resources that its current collaborators or any future collaborators devote to its collaborators’ or its future products;

•disputes between Embecta and its collaborators may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase Embecta’s expenses and divert the attention of its management; and

•these collaborations may be terminated or dissolved in accordance with their terms prior to the development of any Embecta products or any realization by Embecta of any other benefits.

Embecta’s sales and marketing efforts rely upon independent distributors that are free to market products that compete with Embecta’s products, and if Embecta is unable to maintain or expand its network of independent distributors, its business could be materially adversely affected.

Embecta believes that a significant portion of its sales will continue to be from independent distributors for the foreseeable future, and it is possible that the percentage of its sales from independent distributors could increase. None of Embecta’s independent distributors in the United States has been required to sell Embecta’s products exclusively, and each of them may freely sell the products of Embecta’s competitors. If Embecta is unable to maintain or expand its network of independent distributors, its sales may be negatively affected. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health and Cencora, Embecta’s three largest distributors, together represented approximately 41% of Embecta’s worldwide gross sales. If any of Embecta's key independent distributors were to cease to distribute Embecta’s products or reduce their promotion of such products as compared to the products of Embecta’s competitors, Embecta may need to seek alternative independent distributors or increase its reliance on other independent distributors or its direct sales representatives, which alternative arrangements may not be sufficient to prevent a material reduction in sales of its products.

Embecta’s future growth is dependent in part upon the development of new products, and there can be no assurance that such products will be developed or be successful.

AAn ~~significant~~ element of Embecta’s strategy is to increase revenue growth by focusing on innovation and new product development. Even if Embecta submits an application to the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities for approval and/or clearance, there is no assurance that such approval or clearance will be obtained or that Embecta will be able to market and sell such products successfully. New product development requires significant investment in research and development. The results of Embecta’s product development efforts may be affected by a number of factors, including Embecta’s ability to anticipate the needs of people with diabetes, successfully complete clinical and other trials, obtain regulatory clearance and approvals for its products, manufacture such products in a cost-effective manner, obtain appropriate intellectual property protection for such products, gain and maintain market acceptance of such products, secure distribution channels, and obtain access, coverage and reimbursement for such products. Even if cleared by the FDA or foreign regulatory ~~agencies~~authorities, future generations of our ~~systems~~products, expanded indications for use of future ~~systems~~products, ~~our software platforms~~ or any other ~~system~~products under development, may not be cleared for the indications that are necessary or desirable for successful commercialization. There can be no assurance that Embecta will be able to successfully develop or commercialize any products now in development or that Embecta may seek to fully develop or commercialize such products in the future.

If the third parties on which Embecta relies to conduct its clinical trials and to assist it with pre-clinical development do not perform as contractually required or expected, or if market or clinical or other studies are unfavorable to its products in development, Embecta may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance or approval or commercialize its products.

Embecta relies on third parties, such as contract research organizations, medical institutions, clinical investigators, contract laboratories and other third parties, to conduct some of its studies, including clinical trials, human factors studies and pre-clinical investigations. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to failure to adhere to the protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, Embecta’s pre-clinical development activities or clinical or other trials may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated, and Embecta may not be able to obtain regulatory clearance or approval for, or successfully commercialize, its products on a timely basis, or at all, and Embecta’s business and operating results may be adversely affected. Furthermore, such third parties may experience delays or challenges in conducting such studies and trials for reasons outside of their control, including, but not limited to, recruiting enough participants for the studies. In addition, Embecta faces the risk of potential unauthorized disclosure or misappropriation of its intellectual property by contract research organizations, which may reduce Embecta’s trade secret protection and allow its potential competitors to access and exploit its proprietary technology.

In addition, if future clinical trials fail to support the efficacy or safety of Embecta’s current or future products or if the data obtained from those and other studies are unfavorable or inadequate to support satisfactory conclusions about Embecta’s current or future products, Embecta’s commercialization efforts or sales may be adversely affected and may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, future clinical studies or other articles regarding Embecta’s existing products or any competing products may be published that either support a claim, or are perceived to support a claim, that a competitor’s product is clinically more effective or easier to use than Embecta’s existing products or products in development or that any such product is not as effective as Embecta claims. Any of these events may negatively affect Embecta’s sales efforts and result in decreased revenue.

Embecta’s failure to maintain strong relationships with physicians and other healthcare professionals could adversely affect its business.

Embecta depends on its ability to maintain strong working relationships with physicians and other healthcare professionals in connection with research and development for some of its products. Embecta relies on these professionals to provide it with considerable knowledge and advice regarding the development and use of these products. If Embecta fails to maintain its working relationships with physicians and, as a result, no longer has the benefit of their knowledge and advice, Embecta’s products may not be developed in a manner that is responsive to the needs and expectations of the professionals who use and support such products, which could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business.

Embecta may not be able to successfully execute its acquisition strategy, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta intends to explore strategic partnerships and acquisition opportunities that enable it to accelerate its growth. There is no assurance that future acquisitions will be available on attractive terms and Embecta’s ability to consummate any acquisition will be subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the negotiation of agreements on satisfactory terms, obtaining applicable regulatory clearances and approvals and, after consummation, achieving anticipated synergies and other benefits. If Embecta does not successfully execute on its acquisition strategy, it could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta’s international operations subject it to certain business risks.

A substantial amount of Embecta’s sales come from its operations outside the United States, and Embecta intends to continue to pursue growth opportunities outside of the United States, especially in emerging markets. Embecta’s international operations subject it to certain risks relating to, among other things, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange, local economic and political conditions, competition from local companies, increases in trade protectionism, United States relations with the governments of the foreign countries in which Embecta operates, foreign regulatory requirements or changes in such requirements, changes in local healthcare payment systems and healthcare delivery systems, local or non-U.S. originated product preferences and/or requirements, longer payment terms for account receivables than we experience in the United States, difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing foreign operations, changes to international trade policies, agreements, tariffs, regulations, and treaties, changes in tax laws, weakening or loss of the protection of intellectual property rights in some countries and import or export licensing requirements. The success of Embecta’s international operations also depends, in part, on its ability to make necessary infrastructure enhancements to, among other things, its production facilities and sales and distribution networks. These and other factors may adversely impact its ability to pursue its growth strategy in these regions.

In addition to the risks discussed elsewhere, other risks associated with doing business internationally, include, but are not limited to:

•political instability and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts;

•trade protection measures and barriers, such as tariffs, ~~and~~ import and export licensing, customs, control and compliance requirements;

•negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws;

•difficulty in establishing, staffing and managing international operations;

•difficulties associated with foreign legal systems or other foreign regulations or commitments, including increased costs or penalties associated with enforcing or fulfilling certain governmental and/or non-governmental contractual obligations in foreign jurisdictions;

•changes in regulatory requirements;

•adapting to the differing laws and regulations, business and clinical practices, and consumer preferences in foreign markets;

•difficulties in managing foreign relationships and operations, including any relationships that we establish with foreign partners, distributors or sales or marketing agents; and

•difficulty in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods.

In addition, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Acts (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, and similar anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws enacted outside the United States generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. Global enforcement of anti-corruption laws has increased substantially in recent years, with more enforcement proceedings by United States and foreign governmental agencies and the imposition of significant fines and penalties. Embecta’s international operations, which often involve customer relationships with foreign governments or government-sponsored healthcare systems, create the risk that there may be unauthorized payments or offers of payments made by employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors. Because Embecta does business in the U.K., the U.K. Bribery Act also extends to its interaction with public and private sector entities and persons outside the U.K., including in the United States. Embecta’s policies mandate compliance with these laws. Embecta operates in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree, and in certain circumstances strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices. Despite Embecta’s training and compliance programs, its internal control policies and procedures may not always protect Embecta from reckless or criminal acts committed by its employees or agents. Any alleged or actual violations of these laws may subject Embecta to government investigations and significant criminal or civil sanctions and other liabilities, including exclusion from government contracting, which could negatively affect our reputation, could disrupt Embecta’s business and have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, and cash flow.

Changes in United States policy regarding international trade, including import and export regulation and international trade agreements, could also negatively impact Embecta’s business. The United States has imposed tariffs and export controls on certain goods and products imported from China and certain other countries, which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries. Additional tariffs imposed by the United States on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in response, could result in an increase in supply chain costs that Embecta may not be able to offset or that otherwise adversely impact its results of operations. In addition, political tensions between the United States and China and certain other countries have escalated in recent years between and among these countries. Rising political tensions could reduce trade, investment and other economic activities between the two major economies. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The departure of the United Kingdom ("U.K.") from the European Union (“"EU”") (commonly known as “"Brexit”") on January 31, 2020 created uncertainties affecting business operations in the United Kingdom, the EU and a number of other countries, including with respect to compliance with the regulatory regimes regarding the labeling and registration of the products Embecta sells in these markets. For example, the U.K. regulatory regime is currently similar to EU regulations, but the U.K. has enacted new legislation like the Medicines and Medical Devices Act. Under this legislation, the U.K. may adopt changed regulations that may diverge from the EU legislative regime for medicines, including their research, development and commercialization and has issued a consultation document with respect to future change. Embecta could face increased costs, volatility in exchange rates, market instability and other risks as a result of Brexit. In addition, any further divergence of U.K. and EU law, including changes in relation to international trade, tariff and import/export regulations as a result of Brexit or otherwise may impose unexpected duty costs or other non-tariff barriers on Embecta.

In 2015, the Italian parliament enacted legislation that, among other things, imposed a “"payback”" measure on medical device companies that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. Under the measure, companies are required to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures in a given year exceed regional expenditure ceilings established for that year. The payment amounts are calculated based on the amount by which the regional ceilings for the given year were exceeded. In response to decrees issued by the Italian Ministry of Health, the various Italian regions issued invoices to medical device companies. Following the issuance of the invoices, numerous other medical device companies filed appeals with the Italian administrative courts challenging the enforceability of the payback measure, primarily on the basis that the law was unconstitutional. The Italian administrative courts referred the

various Italian regions issued invoices to medical device companies. Following the issuance of the invoices, numerous other medical device companies filed appeals with the Italian administrative courts challenging the enforceability of the payback measure, primarily on the basis that the law was unconstitutional. The Italian administrative courts referred the question regarding the constitutionality of the law to the Italian Constitutional Court, which in July 2024, issued a ruling upholding the law as constitutional. Following the ruling of the Italian Constitutional Court, the appeal before the Italian administrative court ~~will~~was ~~proceed~~rejected ~~with~~in ~~respect~~May to2025 and Italy passed the ~~remaining~~Economic ~~legal~~Decree ~~arguments~~(Law ~~asserted~~Decree byNo. ~~the~~95/2025) ~~appellants~~in ~~with~~June ~~regard~~2025 tooffering ~~the~~a ~~enforceability~~75% ofdiscount ~~the~~on payback ~~law.~~amounts ~~Since~~for the ~~law~~years ~~was~~2015 ~~enacted~~through 2018. Although Embecta has paid and settled its 2015 through 2018 obligations, the determinations for 2019 and after are still pending.

Asfor ~~litigation~~2019 ~~before~~and ~~Italian~~after. ~~Courts~~Given ~~is still pending,~~ final resolution is unknown at this time, ~~and~~ it is possible that the amount of the Embecta’s liability could differ from the amount currently accrued.

The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in the implementation of sanctions by the United States and other governments against Russia and has caused significant volatility and disruptions to the global markets. ItAlthough the impact of the conflict on our supply chain has not been significant, it is not possible to predict the short- and long-term implications of this conflict, which could include but are not limited to further sanctions, uncertainty about economic and political stability, increases in inflation rate and energy prices, supply chain challenges, adverse effects on currency exchange rates and financial markets and disruption to its supplier, channels to market or customers. In addition, the United States government reported that United States sanctions against Russia in response to the conflict could lead to an increased threat of cyberattacks against United States companies. These increased threats could pose risks to the security of Embecta’s ~~Information~~information ~~Technology~~ systems, networks and product offerings, as well as the confidentiality, availability and integrity of Embecta’s data. In addition, the hostilities in Israel and the Middle East, including attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea, could develop to have a more widespread economic and geopolitical affect in the Middle East and Europe, and/or economic sanctions between or among countries, as well as general geopolitical issues in the Middle East. These disruptions have led to supply chain delays and price increases and may impact future oil production capacity, oil prices, and disruptions in supply chain and shipping routes in the Middle East. These impacts may further cause increases in resin costs, as well as energy costs. If these conflicts develop beyond these areas or further intensify, they could have an adverse impact on Embecta’s business operations in the EU, the Middle East or other affected areas. Embecta is continuing to monitor the situations in Russia, Ukraine, Israel and globally as well as assess their potential impact on Embecta’s business, including impacts to suppliers and customers. Although operations in Russia, Ukraine and Israel do not currently constitute a material portion of Embecta’s business nor has Embecta assessed that the hostilities have had a material effect on its financial position or results of operations, a significant escalation or further expansion of the conflicts’ current scope or related disruptions to the global markets could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s results of operations.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the Bureau of Industry and Security at the U.S. Department of Commerce, administer certain laws and regulations that restrict U.S. persons and, in some instances, non-U.S. persons, in conducting activities, and transacting business with or making investments in certain countries, governments, entities and individuals subject to U.S. economic sanctions. Due to Embecta’s international operations, it is subject to such laws and regulations, which are complex, restrict its business dealings with certain countries and individuals, and are constantly changing, including laws and regulations regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, and import-export, which restrict, and in some cases can prevent, U.S. ~~Further~~companies from directly or indirectly selling goods or services to people or entities in certain countries. These laws also require the appropriate amount of scrutiny in any engagement with these persons and entities in and from certain foreign countries. Given we also sell and provide products to agents, representatives, and distributors, who may export such items to customers and end-users, if we, or the third parties through which we do business, are not in compliance with applicable import, export control, or economic sanctions laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement action, and varying degrees of liability. Such actions may disrupt or delay sales of our products or services or result in further restrictions on our distribution and sales of products or services and further restrictions may be enacted, amended, enforced or interpreted in a manner that materially impacts Embecta’s operations.

Violations of these regulations are punishable by civil penalties, including fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts and revocations or restrictions of licenses, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment. Embecta has established procedures designed to assist with its compliance with such laws and regulations. However, Embecta has only limited experience dealing with these laws and regulations and it cannot guarantee that its procedures will effectively prevent it from violating these regulations in every transaction in which Embecta may engage. Any such violation could adversely affect Embecta’s reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

nations and has announced on several occasions its intentions to potentially increase or decrease current tariffs, impose additional tariffs, and/or expand or reduce tariffs on raw materials and goods imported from various countries. In addition, earlier this year, the U.S. government imposed a universal baseline tariff on imports globally and raised the Section 232 tariff on imported steel for many countries.

In September 2025, the U.S. Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security (the “Department”) initiated a national security investigation into imports of personal protective equipment, medical consumables, and medical equipment, including devices such as pen needles and insulin syringes, under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (the “Trade Act”). The Trade Act allows the President of the U.S. to negotiate tariffs to promote international trade, including the authority to impose tariffs if the Department determines imports threaten the U.S. national security. If it is determined these imports pose a national security risk, the ultimate impact remains uncertain and will depend on several factors, but could result in additional potential tariffs imposed in addition to the country-based tariffs, reductions on the benefit Embecta receives from currently available exemptions, additional trade protection measures, embargoes, import or export licensing requirements, trade sanctions or similar restrictions, all of which could significantly increase our costs, strain our resources, and/or create additional complexity in the management of our business and interpretation and compliance with such changes. This may also cause foreign countries to implement retaliatory tariffs or other retaliatory measures. Any such changes could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The current tariff environment evolves continuously and is uncertain. The United States has imposed tariffs and export controls on certain goods and products imported from China and certain other countries, which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries. Additional tariffs imposed by the United States on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in response, could result in an increase in supply chain costs that Embecta may not be able to offset or that otherwise adversely impact its results of operations. In addition, the U.S. government has imposed, modified, and paused tariffs multiple times since the beginning of 2025, with changes to tariffs and other trade restrictions announced at any time, sometimes with little or no advanced notice. As noted above, we export certain raw materials and products to other countries that have and may take future actions in response to these tariffs.

The use of tariffs as a policy tool has created significant uncertainty about the future trading relationship among the U.S., China, the European Union, Canada, Mexico and other exporting countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs, and has led to concerns regarding the potential for extended trade barriers. The escalation of trade tensions could impact us in a variety of ways, including increases in manufacturing costs, disruptions or delays to our global supply chain, limitations on our ability to sell our products, and reductions in sales volumes and gross margins for our products, any of which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also face uncertainty in the interpretation of new tariffs and their applicability, including with respect to customs valuation, product classification and country-of-origin determinations. Although we and our suppliers seek to comply with applicable customs laws and regulations, the application of rules regarding new tariffs can be subject to varying interpretations or future re-interpretations. For example, the ongoing litigation regarding the IEEPA tariffs case that was recently heard by the U.S. Supreme Court has created additional uncertainty as to the scale and short and long-term effect these tariffs will have on Embecta and the medical device industry overall. It is possible that U.S. or other relevant courts or authorities could, upon review or audit, disagree with the authority, valuation, rules of origin or classification methods applied to certain products. Any such disagreement could result in the retroactive assessment of additional duties with interest, the imposition of penalties, or other enforcement actions without the ability to mitigate such penalties, thereby adversely affecting our operations or financial results.

Furthermore, certain of our competitors may be better positioned than us to withstand or react to border taxes, tariffs or other restrictions on global trade and, as a result, we may lose market share to such competitors. Finally, certain governmental and private purchasers have threatened to or may restrict the purchase of products from certain countries (including the U.S.) in favor of “buying local,” resulting in the additional possibility that local manufacturers, brands, and other competitors may engage in aggressive competitive pricing to take advantage of the uncertain global trade environment and transition customers away from global manufacturers, all of which may impact our business and operations. We cannot control the duration or depth of any of the above such actions which may increase our product costs, reduce our margins, potentially decrease the competitiveness of our products, or result in loss of certain contracts. These actions could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Embecta’s business and operations are subject to risks related to climate change.

The long-term effects of global climate change present risks to Embecta’s business and operations. Extreme or severe weather, natural disasters, flooding, heat events, or other conditions caused by climate change could adversely impact its supply chain, logistics, and operations, and the availability and cost of raw materials and components, energy supply, transportation or other inputs required for the operation of its business. Such conditions could also result in physical damage to products, plants and distribution centers, or our suppliers' facilities, as well as the infrastructure and facilities of hospitals, medical care facilities and other customers. Additionally, increased environmental regulation, including to address climate change, may result in increases in the costs to operate its business or restrict certain aspects of its activities. These events could adversely affect Embecta’s operations and our financial performance.

Embecta's business could be negatively impacted by evolving regulations, policies and expectations relating to ESG initiatives, setting related goals, collecting data and disclosing related information.

There is an increasing focus from certain investors, customers, consumers, employees and other stakeholders concerning ESG matters. Additionally, public interest and legislative pressure related to public companies’ ESG practices continue to grow. These changing rules, regulations and stakeholder expectations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and increased management time and attention spent complying with or meeting such regulations and expectations. A number of participants in the medical device industry are also joining voluntary ESG groups or organizations, such as the Responsible Business Alliance. These ESG provisions and initiatives are subject to change, can be unpredictable, and may be difficult and expensive for us to comply with, given the complexity of our supply chain and operations. If our ESG practices fail to meet regulatory requirements or investor, customer, consumer, employee or other stakeholders' evolving expectations and standards in areas including environmental stewardship, support for local communities, Board of Directors and employee diversity, human capital management, employee health and safety practices, product quality, supply chain management, corporate governance and transparency, our reputation, brand and employee retention may be negatively impacted, and our customers and suppliers may be unwilling to continue to do business with us. Further, statements about our ESG-related initiatives and goals, and progress against those goals, may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. In addition, we could be criticized for the scope or nature of such initiatives or goals, or for any revisions to these goals. If we do not adapt to or comply with new regulations, or fail to meet evolving investor, industry or stakeholder expectations and concerns regarding ESG issues, investors may reconsider their capital investment in our Company, and customers may choose to stop purchasing our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business or financial condition.

Foreign currency exchange rate, inflation, commodity price, energy and oil prices and supply, and interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, energy resource prices and uninterrupted energy supply, and interest rates. Products manufactured in, and sold into, regions outside of the United States represent a significant portion of Embecta’s operations. The Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect translation of financial statements denominated in non-United States currencies to United States dollars as well as the foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from the re-measurement of assets and liabilities. A strengthening or weakening of the United States dollar in relation to the foreign currencies of the countries in which Embecta sells or manufacture its products, such as the euro, will affect its United States dollar-reported revenue and income. Changes in the relative values of currencies may, in some instances, have a significant effect on its results of operations.

Many of Embecta’s products have significant resin content. Embecta also uses quantities of other commodities, such as rubber, corrugate and steel. Increases in the prices of these commodities, including due to inflation in the United States or in other markets, could increase the production and other input costs of Embecta’s products. Embecta may not be able to pass on these costs to its customers, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and cash flows.

The Russia and Ukraine conflict, the ~~Israel-Hamas~~conflict ~~war~~in the Middle East, the possibility of military activity in countries near or adjacent to Israel, including attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea, and the growing geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan, coupled with possible related supply chain shortages may affect the energy power and oil sector’s networks and ability to supply their customers, including Embecta. These disruptions have led to supply chain delays and price increases and may lead to manufacturing shutdowns, raw material and component shortages, additional supply chain and logistics constraints, project delays, loss of productivity, divergent product standards and regulations, trade policies, labor shortages, commodity shortages, and additional price increases, among others. Embecta relies on uninterrupted energy to power its manufacturing facilities and any disruption could adversely affect its operations. In addition, increases in energy and oil prices could increase the production, raw materials and other costs of Embecta’s operations and products.

Increases in interest rates may adversely affect the financial condition of Embecta’s distributors and suppliers, thereby adversely affecting their ability to buy Embecta’s products and supply the components or raw materials needed by Embecta, in each case adversely affecting Embecta’s financial condition or results of operations. IfAlthough interest rates have recently been declining, if the United States Federal Reserve decides to raise the benchmark interest rate, then Embecta could experience higher interest expense on its variable rate debt in fiscal year ~~2025~~2026. To the extent Embecta borrows under its revolving credit facility, it will also be subject to risks related to changes in interest rates.

Fluctuations in Embecta’s effective tax rate and changes to tax laws may adversely affect it.

As a global company, Embecta is subject to taxation in numerous countries, states and other jurisdictions. Embecta’s effective tax rate is derived from a combination of applicable tax rates in the various countries, states and other jurisdictions in which it operates. In preparing its financial statements, Embecta estimates the amount of tax that will become payable in each of these jurisdictions and significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Embecta’s effective tax rate may, however, differ from the estimated amount due to numerous factors, including a change in overall profitability, geographical mix of earnings before income taxes, tax discrete items that are not recurring in nature, and changes in tax laws, including potential proposed tax legislation.

For example, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") has developed major reform of the international tax system with respect to a global minimum 15% tax rate. European Union member states agreed to adopt the OECD’s minimum tax rules, which went into effect for tax years beginning on January 1, 2024 or later. Certain countries have enacted the law changes and other countries are considering changes to their tax laws. The impact of the changes went into effect for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2025. The global minimum tax rules did not have a material impact to our provision for income taxes for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

If any existing legislation is amended or subject to revised interpretation, or if legislative proposals are ultimately enacted, in their current or amended form, they could materially impact Embecta’s tax provision, cash tax liability and effective tax rate. Any of these factors could cause Embecta to experience an effective tax rate significantly different from previous periods or its current expectations, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If Embecta fails to protect its intellectual property or proprietary technology, such failure could adversely affect its business and results of operations.

Embecta relies primarily on patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements covering its know-how and confidential information, to protect its proprietary technologies. Third parties, including its competitors, may contest or oppose its patents and trademarks and future patent and trademark applications, and if such patents or trademarks are successfully challenged, it may be easier for its competitors to offer the same or similar products or technologies or require Embecta to rebrand its products. Embecta can also lose the protection afforded by these intellectual property assets through patent expirations, legal challenges or governmental action. Patents attained by competitors may also adversely affect Embecta’s competitive position. In addition, competitors may seek to invalidate patents on its products or claim that its products infringe upon their intellectual property, which could result in a loss of competitive advantage or the payment of significant legal fees, damage awards and past or future royalties, as well as injunctions against future sales of its products. Embecta has entered into confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with its officers, certain employees, consultants and potential collaborators regarding its intellectual property and proprietary technology. In the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of those agreements, Embecta may not be provided with meaningful protection for its trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information. Embecta also operates in countries that do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as in the United States, which could make it easier for competitors to compete with Embecta in those countries. The loss of a significant portion of its portfolio of intellectual property assets may have an adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

Embecta’s products or processes may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, which may cause Embecta to pay unexpected litigation costs, damages, or settlement fees (including royalties) or prevent Embecta from selling its products.

Embecta cannot be certain that its products, both existing and in development, do not and will not infringe issued patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Embecta may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of its business, including claims of alleged infringement of the intellectual property rights of third parties. Patentability, invalidity, freedom-to-operate or other opinions may be required to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights. The nature of claims contained in unpublished patent filings around the world is unknown to Embecta and it is not possible to know which countries patent holders may choose for an extension of their filings under the Patent Cooperation Treaty or other mechanisms. Embecta may also be subject to claims based on the actions of employees and consultants with respect to the usage or disclosure of intellectual property learned at other employers. Any such claims, whether or not meritorious, could result in litigation and divert the time and attention of its management team. Consequently, Embecta is unable to guarantee that it will be able to manufacture, use, offer for sale, sell or import any of its commercial products or products in development in the event of an infringement action. If Embecta is found liable for infringement, it may be required to enter into licensing agreements (which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all) or to pay damages or cease developing, making or selling certain products. Even if Embecta were able to obtain a license, the rights may be non-exclusive, which could potentially limit its competitive advantage. Ultimately, Embecta could be prevented from commercializing any products that it may commercialize or promote or be forced to cease some aspects of its business operations, if, as a result of actual or threatened patent infringement or other claims, it is unable to enter into licenses on acceptable terms. This inability to enter into licenses or the ability to exclude others from using proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations. Embecta may also need to redesign some of Embecta’s products or processes to avoid future infringement liability.

16Breaches of Embecta’s Information Systems and cyberattacks aimed at accessing Embecta’s devices, products and services or related devices, products and services could have a material adverse effect on its operations.

Embecta faces various security threats on a regular basis, including ongoing cyber security threats to and attacks on our information technology infrastructure. Some of Embecta’s products, and products in development may, include information systems that collect data, including sensitive medical information, regarding patients and patient therapy on behalf of Embecta’s customers and some connect to Embecta’s systems for maintenance and management purposes. Embecta uses its and certain third party, including BD's, information technology systems to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities, including sales, shipping, billing, customer service, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, and accounts payable. In addition, Embecta uses enterprise information technology systems to record, process, and summarize transactions and other financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with financial reporting, legal, and tax regulatory requirements. Embecta deploys defenses against such threats and attacks and works to secure the integrity of its data systems using techniques, hardware, and software typical of companies of its size and scope. Despite Embecta’s security measures, however, its information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by increasingly sophisticated intruders or others who try to cause harm to or interfere with its normal use of its systems. They are also susceptible to breach due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. Embecta’s suppliers, distributors, contractors, service providers, and other third parties with whom it does business also could be subject to cyber threats and attacks that are similar in frequency and sophistication. In many cases, Embecta has to rely on the controls and safeguards put in place by these suppliers, distributors, contractors, service providers, including BD, and other third parties to defend against, respond to, and report these attacks. Many of Embecta’s information systems are cloud-hosted and managed by these third-party vendors, some of which may have access to confidential business, employee, healthcare professional, and/or customer information. Embecta’s information technology systems may also be susceptible to damage, disruptions, or shutdowns due to computer viruses, attacks by computer hackers, failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components thereof, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication failures, user errors, or catastrophic events. Any failure by Embecta to maintain or protect its information technology systems and data integrity, including from cyberattacks, intrusions, disruptions, or shutdowns, could result in the unauthorized access to customer data and personally identifiable information, theft of intellectual property or other misappropriation of assets or the loss of key data and information, or otherwise compromise Embecta’s confidential or proprietary information and disrupt its operations. The potential impact of future cyber incidents can vary widely in severity and scale. This could also impact Embecta’s compliance with privacy and other laws and regulations and could result in actions by regulatory bodies or civil litigation. There can be no assurance that the various procedures and controls Embecta utilizes to mitigate these threats will be sufficient to prevent disruptions to its systems, in part because (i) cyberattack techniques change frequently and, at times, new techniques are not recognized until launched, and (ii) cyberattacks can originate from a wide variety of sources. For example, as multilateral sanctions and tensions continue to escalate against Russia by western nations and their allies in connection with the Russia-Ukraine war, retaliatory actions being undertaken by Russia and supporters of Russia in the form of cyberattacks have increased, including for example against certain U.S. infrastructure networks and hospital operations. Increasing costs associated with information security, such as increased investment in technology, the cost of compliance and costs resulting from consumer fraud could cause our business and results of operations to suffer materially. The methods and techniques used by cyber threat actors to gain entry into our network and access our computer systems, software and data may become more advanced with the use of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and may become increasingly difficult or impossible to detect and prevent. As these threats continue to evolve, we may be required to invest significant additional resources to modify and enhance our information security and controls or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. While our technology infrastructure is designed to safeguard and protect personal and business information, we have limited ability to monitor the implementation of similar safeguards by our vendors. Embecta will continue to evaluate organization risk priorities and dedicate resources to protect against unauthorized access, and work to align to industry-leading cybersecurity frameworks to incorporate cybersecurity into its enterprise systems, manufacturing processes and products. Embecta’s results of operations could be adversely affected if these systems are interrupted or damaged or fail for any extended period.

In addition, medical devices are increasingly connected to the internet, healthcare networks, and other medical devices to provide features that improve healthcare and increase the ability of healthcare providers to treat patients and patients to manage their conditions. As such, a cyberattack which intrudes, disrupts, or corrupts Embecta’s devices, products, and services, or related devices, products, and services could impact the quality-of-care patients receive or the confidentiality of patient information. Additionally, modifying or using any such devices, products, or services in a way inconsistent with Embecta’s FDA clearances and approvals may create risks to users and potential exposure to the Company.

Embecta needs to attract and retain key employees to be competitive.

Embecta’s ability to compete effectively depends upon its ability to attract and retain executives and other key employees. Competition for experienced employees, particularly for persons with specialized skills, can be intense. Embecta’s ability to recruit such talent will depend on a number of factors, including compensation and benefits, work location and work

~~environment~~malfeasance, or other disruptions.

The potential impact of future cyber incidents can vary widely in severity and scale. This could also impact Embecta’s compliance with privacy and other laws and regulations and could result in actions by regulatory bodies or government agencies, and/or or civil litigation.

While our technology infrastructure is designed to safeguard and protect personal and business information, we have limited ability to monitor the implementation of similar safeguards by our vendors. Additionally, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many employees transitioned to a remote or hybrid work environment, which has increased risks associated with our information technology systems and networks. These increased risks include cyber-attacks, computer viruses, disruptions, or shutdowns that could result in a failure to protect our Information Systems and data integrity. Embecta will continue to evaluate organization risk priorities and dedicate resources to protect against unauthorized access, and work to align to industry-leading cybersecurity frameworks to incorporate cybersecurity into its enterprise systems, manufacturing processes and products.

Additionally, modifying or using any such devices, products, or services in a way inconsistent with Embecta’s FDA and other national and international regulatory government clearances and approvals may create risks to users and potential exposure to the Company.

Embecta needs to attract and retain key employees to be competitive.

Embecta’s business may be adversely affected by work stoppages, union negotiations and labor disputes.

As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, only certain employees, all outside of the United States and representing approximately 3536% of our headcount, are represented by various unions, works council and other collective bargaining groups. As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, approximately 4448% of those employees within these groups have collective bargaining power. Historically, the effects of collective bargaining and other similar labor agreements have not been significant. However, if a larger number of Embecta’s employees were to unionize, including in the wake of any future legislation or administrative regulation that makes it easier for employees to unionize, the effect could be significant.

A significant portion of Embecta’s unionized employees have collective bargaining agreements. Any inability to negotiate acceptable new contracts and new terms and conditions under these collective bargaining arrangements could cause strikes or other work stoppages, including at our Ireland manufacturing facility, and new contracts could result in increased operating costs for Embecta. If any strikes or other work stoppages occur, or if additional employees become represented by a union, a disruption of Embecta’s operations and higher labor costs could result. Labor relations matters affecting Embecta’s suppliers of products and services could also adversely affect Embecta’s business from time to time.

Embecta is subject to extensive regulation.

Embecta’s operations are global and are affected by complex state, federal and international laws relating to healthcare, environmental protection, antitrust, anti-corruption, marketing, fraud and abuse (including anti-kickback and false claims laws), import and export control, product safety and efficacy, employment, privacy and cybersecurity, financial transparency, conflict minerals and other areas. Violations of these laws can result in criminal or civil sanctions, including substantial fines and, in some cases, exclusion from participation in healthcare programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Environmental laws, particularly with respect to the emission of greenhouse gases, such as taxes on fuel and energy, to mitigate the impacts of climate change, are becoming more stringent throughout the world, including tightening emissions standards, which may increase Embecta’s costs of operations or necessitate closures of or changes to its manufacturing plants or processes or those of its suppliers, or result in liability to Embecta. For example, Embecta’s isoperations ~~also~~and facilities may become subject to ~~various~~formal ~~laws~~or ~~and~~informal ~~regulations~~scrutiny, ~~relating~~audit, or enforcement actions or proceedings for noncompliance with environmental laws related to substances released into the ~~safety~~environment. ~~and~~Such ~~effectiveness~~matters ofare ~~medical~~typically ~~devices,~~resolved ~~including~~with ~~relating~~regulatory toauthorities ~~design,~~through ~~development~~commitments ~~and~~to ~~manufacturing~~compliance, ~~product~~abatement, ~~traceability~~or remediation programs, and, ~~record~~in ~~keeping~~some ~~procedures~~cases, ~~product~~payment ~~complaints,~~of ~~complaint~~penalties ~~reporting,~~or ~~recalls~~fines.

Embecta is also subject to numerous post-marketing regulatory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, quality system regulations related to the manufacture of its devices, labeling regulations, and medical device reporting regulations. The last of these regulations requires Embecta to report to the FDA or other similar regulatory agencies if its products cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction recurred. If Embecta fails to comply with present or future regulatory requirements that are applicable to it, it may be subject to enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions:

•untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties;

•customer notification, or orders for repair, replacement, or refunds;

•voluntary or mandatory recall or seizure of our current or future products;

•administrative detention by the FDA or other similar regulatory agencies of medical devices believed to be adulterated or misbranded or otherwise in violation of other regulatory laws;

•operating restrictions, suspension or shutdown of production;

•refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance of new products, new intended uses or modifications to Embecta’s current products;

•rescinding 510(k) clearance or suspending that have already been granted; or

•criminal prosecution.

Device Regulation (the “EU MDR”), which imposes stricter requirements for the marketing and sale of medical devices, including in the area of labeling requirements, clinical evidence requirements, quality systems and post-market surveillance. The EU MDR has been fully operational for previously approved self-certified medical devices (class I) since May 2021, and previously CE marked products must become compliant when their certification expires, with a transition period ending December 2027 for higher classification devices, or December 2028 for lower classification devices (i.e., class II and III). Additionally, the availability of EU notified body services certified to assist Embecta with validation of, and compliance with, the new requirements is limited, which may delay the marketing approval for some of Embecta's products under the EU MDR. Any such delays, any failure to meet these requirements, or the revocation or suspension of our regulatory approvals, clearances, registrations, or certifications could adversely impact our business in the EU, ~~and~~ other non-EU regions that tie their product registrations to EU conformity requirements, or other foreign countries.

Healthcare reform may have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations.

Political, economic and regulatory developments have effected fundamental changes in the healthcare industry. In response to perceived increases in health care costs in recent years, there have been, and continue to be, proposals by the federal government, state governments, regulators, and third-party payors to control these costs and, more generally, to reform the U.S. health care system. Certain of these proposals could limit the prices Embecta is able to charge for its products or the amounts of reimbursement available for its products and could limit the acceptance and availability of its products.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “Affordable Care Act”) substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both government and private insurers. It also encourages improvements in the quality of healthcare products and services and significantly impacts the United States pharmaceutical and medical device industries by, among other things, imposing certain stringent compliance, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements on companies in various sectors of the life sciences industry, and enhanced penalties for non-compliance. The current U.S. administration has implemented a number of regulatory, policy, and personnel changes, including, but not limited to, the elimination, downsizing, and reduced funding of certain government agencies and programs and the cancellation or delay of government contracts and research grants, each of which may be exacerbated by any future government shutdowns. The current administration has also changed the composition of, and guidance from, advisory panels on healthcare practices and government enforcement.

Embecta cannot predict at this time the full impact of the Affordable Care Act or other new legislation, agency priorities, rulemaking and healthcare reform measures from U.S. federal or state governments, foreign governments, or third-party payors that may be adopted or implemented in the future on Embecta’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Although several legislative initiatives to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act have been proposed, and legal challenges to the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act or its component parts have been made, the nature and effect of any modification or repeal of, or legislative substitution for, the Affordable Care Act, or any court decision regarding the Affordable Care Act’s validity, is uncertain, and Embecta cannot predict the effect that any of these events would have on the longer-term viability of the act, or on Embecta’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, any changes that create stricter and more costly compliance obligations or lower reimbursement for Embecta’s products could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Future significant changes in the healthcare systems in the United States or elsewhere could also have a negative impact on the demand for Embecta’s current and future products. These include changes that may reduce reimbursement rates for its products and changes that may be proposed or implemented by the current or future laws or regulations.

Certain modifications to Embecta’s products may require new 510(k) clearances or other marketing authorizations and may require Embecta to recall or cease marketing its products.

Once a medical device is permitted to be legally marketed in the United States pursuant to a 510(k) clearance, a manufacturer may be required to notify the FDA of certain modifications to the device.

Manufacturers determine in the first instance whether a change to a product requires a new 510(k) clearance or premarket submission, but the FDA may review any manufacturer’s decision. The FDA may not agree with Embecta’s decisions regarding whether new clearances are necessary. Embecta has made modifications to its products in the past and has determined based on its review of the applicable FDA regulations and guidance that in certain instances new 510(k) clearances or other premarket submissions were not required. Embecta may make similar modifications or add additional features in the future that it believes does not require a new 510(k) clearance. If the FDA disagrees with Embecta’s determinations and requires it to submit new 510(k) notifications, Embecta may be required to cease marketing or to recall the modified product until it obtains clearance, and it may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.

Embecta may be subject to enforcement actions if it engages in improper marketing or promotion of its products.

Embecta’s promotional materials and training methods must comply with applicable laws, regulations and regulatory authority’s rules and guidelines, including the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”). If the FDA, the FTC or another regulatory agency determines that Embecta’s promotional or training material constitutes off-label, false or misleading, unfair or deceptive promotion of its products, it could request that Embecta modify its training or promotional materials or subject Embecta to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider Embecta’s promotional, educational or training materials to constitute off-label, false or misleading, unfair or deceptive promotion of its products, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement, and reputational harm.

misleading, unfair or deceptive promotion of its products, it could request that Embecta modify its training or promotional materials or subject Embecta to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine or criminal penalties. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider Embecta’s promotional, educational or training materials to constitute off-label, false or misleading, unfair or deceptive promotion of its products, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement, and reputational harm.

Changes in government funding for the FDA and other government agencies could affect their ability to obtain and retain key resources and personnel, properly administer medical device innovation, or prevent Embecta’s products from being developed or commercialized in a timely manner or otherwise prevent those agencies from performing routine business functions on which the operation of Embecta’s business relies, which could adversely affect its business.

Recent U.S. government shutdowns caused certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and the SEC, to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. In addition, the U.S. government implemented substantial layoffs and workforce reductions in connection with recent federal government shutdown, which resulted in the suspension or delay of various government-funded programs. While the recent government shutdown has ended, there is no assurance that future government shutdowns will be avoided that affect government employees and contractors or government-funded programs. If there are any future government shutdowns, the ability of the FDA to review and approve or clear new products or to provide feedback on our programs, applications, and submissions can be affected by a variety of factors, including government budget and funding levels, reductions in workforce, ability to obtain and retain key personnel, and statutory, regulatory and policy changes. In addition, there may be delays in necessary interactions with regulators, ethics committees and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government or contractor personnel. Government shutdowns, if prolonged, can significantly impact the ability of government agencies upon which we rely, such as the FDA and SEC, to operate and perform their duties as normal, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Disruptions at the FDA and other agencies may also slow the time necessary for our operations, facilities, products, submissions, and applications to be reviewed, approved, or cleared by the necessary government agencies, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the current U.S. administration has discussed several changes to the reach and oversight of the FDA, which could affect its relationship with the medical device industry, transparency in decision making and ultimately the cost and availability of medical devices and our products. Additionally, over the past decade, the U.S. government has shut down several times, and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough critical employees and stop critical activities. The current U.S. administration also recently announced plans to reduce the number of federal employees by establishing voluntary termination programs, by position eliminations or by involuntary terminations. If funding for the FDA is reduced, if the FDA workforce is reduced, or if futuregovernment shutdown occur, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, there remains substantial uncertainty as to how the current U.S. administration will seek to or continue to modify or revise the requirements and policies of the FDA and other regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over our product candidates. This uncertainty could present new challenges and the commercial prospects for our separation activities, operations, and business may be harmed and our ability to generate revenue may be adversely affected.

Embecta is subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection, many of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, which could result in claims, changes to its business practices, penalties, increased cost of operations or declines in user growth or engagement, or otherwise adversely affect its business.

Embecta is subject to complex and frequently changing laws in the United States and elsewhere regarding privacy and the processing, collection, use, storage and protection of personal information, and noncompliance with these laws could result in substantial fines or litigation. For instance, the EU has also adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which applies to personal data involved in Embecta’s operations in the EU or products and services that Embecta offers to EU users involving personal data. The GDPR contains a range of compliance obligations that could require Embecta to change its existing business practices policies, and significantly increases financial penalties for noncompliance.

In the state of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which provides certain privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of the state became effective in 2020, and the California Privacy Rights Act, which amends and expands the CCPA, went into effect on January 1, 2023. These consumer rights include the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to know whether the data is sold or disclosed and to whom, the right to request a company to delete the personal information it has collected, the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information and the right to non-discrimination in terms of price or service when a consumer exercises a privacy right. California’s and other states’ laws apply more broadly and now or in the future may reach data we hold that relates to employees and healthcare providers, not just customers. In addition, data security protection laws passed by the federal government and many states require notification to data subjects, including customers and others, when there is a security breach of personal data. The CCPA also created a private right of action with statutory damages for certain data breaches, thereby potentially increasing risks associated with a data breach. The effects of state data protection laws are significant and may cause Embecta to incur substantial costs and expenses to ensure ongoing compliance. If Embecta fails to comply with these regulations, it could be subject to civil sanctions, including fines and penalties for noncompliance.

The CCPA also created a private right of action with statutory damages for certain data breaches, thereby potentially increasing risks associated with a data breach. The effects of state data protection laws are significant and may cause Embecta to incur substantial costs and expenses to ensure ongoing compliance. If Embecta fails to comply with these regulations, it could be subject to civil sanctions, including fines and penalties for noncompliance.

In addition, foreign data protection, privacy, and other laws and regulations can be more restrictive than those in the United States. Data localization laws in some countries generally mandate that certain types of data collected in a particular country be stored and/or processed within that country. Embecta could be subject to audits in Europe and around the world, particularly in the areas of consumer and data protection, as Embecta continues to grow and expand its operations. Legislators and regulators may make legal and regulatory changes, or interpret and apply existing laws, in ways that make Embecta’s products less useful to users, require us to incur substantial costs, expose us to unanticipated civil or criminal liability, or cause us to change Embecta’s business practices. These changes or increased costs could affect Embecta’s business and results of operations.

Furthermore, AI-based solutions, including generative AI, are increasingly being used in the medical device industry, including by Embecta, with the expectation to use such systems and tools that incorporate AI-based technologies in the future for internal and external purposes. The use of AI solutions, such as ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, Grammarly, and Transvoyant by Embecta’s employees or third parties on which we rely could lead to the public disclosure of confidential information (including personal data or proprietary information) in contravention of Embecta’s internal policies, data protection or other applicable laws, or contractual requirements. The misuse of AI solutions could also result in unauthorized access and use of personal data of Embecta’s employees, clinical and other trial and research participants, collaborators, or other third parties. In addition, the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies is rapidly evolving and uncertain, including in the areas of intellectual property, cybersecurity, and privacy and data protection. Evolving rules, regulations, and industry standards governing AI may require us to incur significant costs to modify, maintain, or align our business practices, services and solutions to comply with U.S. and non-U.S. rules and regulations, the nature of which cannot be determined at this time and may be inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. ~~Several~~As a result of the growing worldwide availability and release of AI-based technologies, there is a global trend towards more regulation and several jurisdictions where we operate or may intend to operate are considering or have proposed or enacted legislation and policies regulating AI and non-personal data. These include, ~~such~~but asare not limited to, the European Union’s AI Act, ~~and~~ the U.S. executive administration’s AI Action Plan and other Executive ~~Order~~Orders on AI, and the various AI laws enacted in certain States within the U.S. These regulations are aimed at the ethical use, privacy, and security of AI and the data it processes and may impose significant requirements and costs on how we deploy and use AI, ~~and~~ handle data and comply with these current and future regulations, and any changes or amendments thereto.

Failure to appropriately respond to this evolving landscape may also result in legal liability, fines, penalties, regulatory action, loss of data or trade secrets or other intellectual property, brand and reputational harm, or lead to outcomes with unintended biases or other consequences. On the other hand, if Embecta is unable to use AI, it could make our business less efficient and result in competitive disadvantages. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A disruption at one of Embecta's facilities could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Although Embecta operates in multiple locations, manufacturing of its pen needles and syringes is conducted, and its components for such products are primarily stored, at its facilities in the United States, Ireland and China. Political or financial instability, currency fluctuations, the outbreak of pandemics, labor unrest, transport capacity and costs, port security, supply chain disruptions, wars, weather conditions, natural disasters, or other events that could slow or disrupt port activities and affect foreign trade are beyond Embecta’s control and could materially disrupt its supply of product from any of these locations, increase its costs, and/or adversely affect its results of operations. Further, there may be increased pressure for United States medical device companies to reduce dependency on China for their supply chain and reevaluating nearshoring strategies. Embecta takes precautions to ensure that its third-party contractors and logistics entities safeguard Embecta’s assets, including insurance, health and safety protocols, and off-site storage of computer data. However, a natural or other disaster, such as a fire or flood, could cause substantial delays in Embecta’s operations, damage or destroy its manufacturing equipment and/or inventory and cause it to incur additional expenses. The insurance Embecta maintains may not be adequate to cover its losses in any particular case. With or without insurance, damage to Embecta’s facilities, manufacturing equipment, inventory or other property or to any of its suppliers, may have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

20A significant amount of Embecta’s inventories of finished goods are stored in distribution centers around the world, but primarily in various distribution centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. Embecta takes precautions to safeguard these facilities and data infrastructure. However, vandalism, terrorism, unplanned power outages, cyberattacks or a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, or other catastrophic event, could damage or destroy Embecta’s inventories of component supplies and finished goods, cause substantial delays in its operations, result in the loss of key information,

A significant amount of Embecta’s inventories of finished goods are stored in distribution centers around the world, but primarily in various distribution centers in the United States, Europe and Asia. Embecta takes precautions to safeguard these facilities and data infrastructure. However, vandalism, terrorism, unplanned power outages, cyberattacks or a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, or other catastrophic event, could damage or destroy Embecta’s inventories of component supplies and finished goods, cause substantial delays in its operations, result in ~~the loss of key information, result in~~ reduced sales, and cause Embecta to incur additional expenses. Embecta’s insurance coverage may not be sufficient to provide coverage with respect to the damages incurred in any particular case, and its insurance carrier may deny coverage with respect to all or a portion of its claims. Regardless of the level of insurance coverage or other precautions taken, damage to these facilities may have a material adverse effect on is business, financial condition and results of operations.

Insurance coverage may be inadequate or unavailable to cover any product liability losses Embecta incurs.

Embecta’s business exposes it to potential product liability claims that are inherent in the design, manufacture, testing, inspection, and sale of medical devices. Embecta is subject to product liability lawsuits alleging that component failures, manufacturing flaws, manufacturing defects, negligence in manufacturing, design defects, negligence in design, or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks, warnings, or product-related information resulted in an unsafe condition, injury or death to customers. The risk of one or more product liability claims or lawsuits may be even greater after Embecta launches new products with new features or enters new markets where it has no prior experience selling its products and relies on newly-hired staff or new independent distributors or contractors to provide new customer training and customer support. In addition, the misuse of Embecta’s products or the failure of customers to adhere to operating guidelines could cause significant harm to customers, including death, which could result in product liability claims. Product liability lawsuits and claims, safety alerts or product recalls, with or without merit, regardless of any available insurance coverage, could cause Embecta to incur substantial costs, and could place a significant strain on its financial resources, divert the attention of management from Embecta’s core business, harm Embecta’s reputation and adversely affect its ability to attract and retain customers, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta is subject to a number of restrictive covenants under its indebtedness, including customary operating restrictions and financial covenants, which could restrict Embecta's ability to pay dividends or adversely affect its financing options and liquidity position.

Embecta's current indebtedness contains, and any future indebtedness may contain, customary operating restrictions and financial covenants. This indebtedness may adversely affect Embecta's ability to operate or grow its business or could have other material adverse consequences, including by:

•limiting Embecta's ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions;

•limiting Embecta's ability to refinance its indebtedness on terms acceptable to Embecta or at all;

•restricting Embecta's operations or development plans;

•requiring Embecta to dedicate a significant portion of its cash flows from operations to paying amounts due under its indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for other corporate purposes;

•impeding Embecta's ability to pay dividends;

•making Embecta more vulnerable to economic downturns; or

•limiting Embecta's ability to withstand competitive pressures.

Any of these restrictions on Embecta's ability to operate its business in its discretion could adversely affect its business by, among other things, limiting Embecta's ability to adapt to changing economic, financial or industry conditions and to take advantage of corporate opportunities, including opportunities to obtain debt financing, repurchase stock, refinance or pay principal on Embecta's outstanding debt, dispose of property, complete acquisitions for cash or debt, or make other investments. In addition, events beyond Embecta's control, including prevailing economic, financial, and industry conditions, could affect Embecta's ability to satisfy applicable financial covenants, and Embecta cannot assure you that it will satisfy them.

conditions, could affect Embecta's ability to satisfy applicable financial covenants, and Embecta cannot assure you that it will satisfy them.

Any failure to comply with the restrictions of Embecta's current indebtedness, or any future financing agreements, including as a result of events beyond Embecta's control, may result in an event of default under these agreements, which in turn may result in defaults or acceleration of obligations under these agreements and other agreements, giving Embecta's lenders and other debt holders the right to terminate any commitments they may have made to provide Embecta with further funds and to require Embecta to repay all amounts then outstanding.

Embecta is subject to risks associated with public health threats, such as pandemics, which could have a material adverse effect on Embecta's financial condition and results of operation.

Embecta is subject to risks associated with public health threats, such as pandemics. Public health threats have the potential to significantly impact Embecta’s supply chain if the manufacturing plants that produce its products, raw materials or product components, the distribution centers where Embecta manages its inventory or the operations of its logistics and other service providers, including third parties that sterilize its products, are disrupted, temporarily closed or experience worker shortages for a sustained period of time.

For example, Embecta’s manufacturing sites in China, Ireland and the United States, where Embecta manufactures a significant amount of products, largely avoided any significant disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, notwithstanding that each of these communities has experienced a relative recovery in COVID-19 transmission and a lessening of restrictions related to COVID-19, a future outbreak of a public health threat, including COVID-19, at any of Embecta’s manufacturing sites in China, Ireland and/or the United States or in the surrounding communities, could lead to suspensions or delays in the manufacturing of Embecta’s products, which could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business and results of operations. 23

Risks Related to the Separation from BD

Embecta has a limited history of operating as an independent company, and its historical financial information may not be a reliable indicator of its future results.

22Prior to the Separation, Embecta’s business utilized the advantage of BD’s overall size and scope to procure more advantageous arrangements. As a standalone company, Embecta may be unable to obtain similar arrangements to the same extent as BD did, or on terms as favorable as those BD obtained, prior to completion of the Separation.

•The cost of capital for Embecta’s business may be higher than when Embecta was integrated with BD and leveraged BD’s cost of capital.

•Other significant changes may occur in Embecta’s cost structure, management, effective tax rate, financing and business operations as a result of operating as a company separate from BD. For additional information about the past financial performance of its business and the basis of presentation of the historical combined financial statements, see Item 7 and Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Since the Separation, Embecta’s financial profile has changed, and it is a smaller, less diversified company than BD prior to the Separation.

The Separation has resulted in Embecta being a smaller, less diversified company than BD. As a result, Embecta may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the diversification of Embecta’s revenues, costs, and cash flows has diminished as a standalone company, such that its results of operations, cash flows, working capital and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility and its ability to fund capital expenditures and investments, pay dividends and service debt may be diminished. We also have less capital allocation efficiency and flexibility, as Embecta no longer has access to cash flows from BD to fund Embecta’s business.

Embecta may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the Separation.

Embecta may not be able to achieve the full strategic and financial benefits expected to result from the Separation, or such benefits may be delayed or not occur at all. The Separation is expected to provide the following benefits, among others: (1) enabling management of Embecta to more effectively pursue the distinct operating priorities and strategies of its business; (2) permitting Embecta to allocate financial resources to meet the unique needs of its business, which will allow us to intensify our focus on distinct strategic priorities and to more effectively pursue our own distinct capital structures and capital allocation strategies; (3) allowing Embecta to more effectively articulate a clear investment thesis to attract a long-term investor base suited to our business and providing investors with a distinct and targeted investment opportunity; (4) creating an independent equity security tracking Embecta’s underlying business, affording Embecta with direct access to the capital markets and facilitating its ability to consummate future acquisitions or other transactions using its common stock; and (5) permitting Embecta to more effectively recruit, retain and motivate employees through the use of stock-based compensation that more closely aligns management and employee incentives with specific business goals and objectives related to Embecta’s business.

Embecta may not achieve these and other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (1) the ongoing transition and separation activities may demand significant management resources and require significant amounts of management’s time and effort, which may divert management’s attention from operating and growing Embecta’s business; (2) Embecta may be more susceptible to market fluctuations, and other adverse events than if it were still a part of BD because Embecta’s business is less diversified than BD’s businesses prior to the completion of the Separation; (3) as a standalone company, Embecta may be unable to obtain certain goods, services and technologies at prices or on terms as favorable as those BD obtained prior to completion of the Separation; (4) under the terms of the tax matters agreement that Embecta entered into with BD, it is restricted from taking certain actions that could cause the distribution or certain related transactions to fail to qualify as tax-free to BD and BD shareholders, or could result in certain other taxes to BD,; and (6) the contractual arrangements between Embecta and BD are on less favorable terms than the prior existing intercompany arrangements from which Embecta benefited, and such arrangements may be inadequate to provide for the ongoing operation and growth of Embecta’s business. If Embecta fails to achieve some or all of the benefits expected to result from the Separation, or if such benefits are delayed, it could have a material adverse effect on its competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 24

Embecta may not achieve these and other anticipated benefits for a variety of reasons, including, among others: (1) the ongoing transition and separation activities may demand significant management resources and require significant amounts of management’s time and effort, which may divert management’s attention from operating and growing Embecta’s business; (2) Embecta may be more susceptible to market fluctuations, and other adverse events than if it were still a part of BD because Embecta’s business is less diversified than BD’s businesses prior to the completion of the Separation; (3) as a standalone company, Embecta may be unable to obtain certain goods, services and technologies at prices or on terms as favorable as those BD obtained prior to completion of the Separation; (4) under the terms of the tax matters agreement that Embecta entered into with BD, it is restricted from taking certain actions that could cause the distribution or certain related transactions to fail to qualify as tax-free to BD and BD shareholders, or could result in certain other taxes to BD; and (5) the contractual arrangements between Embecta and BD are on less favorable terms than the prior existing intercompany arrangements from which Embecta benefited, and such arrangements may be inadequate to provide for the ongoing operation and growth of Embecta’s business. If Embecta fails to achieve some or all of the benefits expected to result from the Separation, or if such benefits are delayed, it could have a material adverse effect on its competitive position, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In order to conduct its operations and meet its financial reporting and other obligations, Embecta relies on certain services provided by BD pursuant to the transaction documents entered into with BD in connection with the Separation. If Embecta is unable to extend the services on similar terms or replace the services that BD currently provides to it on terms that are at least as favorable to Embecta as the terms on which BD is providing these services, or if BD otherwise terminates any of the services, Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Embecta’s ability to effectively manage and operate its business depends significantly on the ~~systems~~services provided by BD. For example, Embecta ~~currently~~ relies upon BD to perform certain activities in markets in which it is unable to independently import, distribute, buy or sell certain products pending its receipt of required licenses, permits, and regulatory registrations. Embecta also relies on the services provided by BD to meet its financial reporting and other obligations. This includes relying on certain services from BD for material financial consolidation and reporting design and operation disclosure controls and procedures.

Once all the transaction agreements, or any ~~extension~~extensions thereto, expire or terminate, if Embecta is unable to extend or replace the services that BD currently provides to it under these transaction agreements, until it is able to extend such services, complete the steps necessary to perform these services itself or otherwise materially replace these services on substantially similar terms and conditions, Embecta may not be able to effectively operate its business or maintain effective financial and management controls and reporting systems. This could impair Embecta’s ability to effectively sell, distribute and commercialize its products, generate revenue, comply with local regulatory regulations, meet SEC reporting obligations and internal control over financial reporting, maintain its stock exchange listing, service its existing indebtedness and comply with the debt covenants under its existing indebtedness. Any such occurrence may have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, Embecta may not be successful in timely, effectively or efficiently implementing these ~~systems and~~ services, orincluding inregulatory ~~transitioning from BD’s systems to Embecta’s systems~~support. Embecta will continue to engage in the process of creating its own, or engaging third parties separate from BD, to provide, ~~systems and~~ services to replace many of the ~~systems and~~ services that BD currently provides to Embecta once the transaction agreements, or any ~~extension~~extensions thereto, ~~expires~~expire or isare terminated including, for example, information technology infrastructure, enterprise resource planning ("ERP") and other systems, logistics, employee, customer, vendor and accounting support services, distribution and regulatory support and services and accounting and reporting systems. Embecta expects this process to be complex, time-consuming and costly. Embecta may incur temporary interruptions in business operations if it cannot transition effectively from BD’s existing operating systems, logistics, distribution and regulatory support, databases and programming languages that support these functions to its own systems. The failure to implement the new ~~systems~~services ~~and transition data~~ successfully and cost-effectively could disrupt Embecta’s business operations, including ~~preventing Embecta from paying suppliers and employees, receiving revenue from its customers,~~ entering into new agreements, selling or delivering products in certain jurisdictions, complying with financial reporting and other obligations and performing administrative or other services on a timely basis, which could adversely affect Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Embecta’s costs for the operation of these ~~systems~~services may be higher than the amounts reflected in its historical combined financial statements.

Following the end of the transition period, Embecta will be required to rebrand its products to remove the BD name, transfer or obtain new manufacturing, supply chain, regulatory and product licenses and registrations in the name of Embecta, which could adversely affect its ability to attract and maintain customers and end users or which could result in delays or interruptions of Embecta's commercialization and distribution operations or the loss of customers and revenue, all of which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta has historically marketed its products using the “BD” name and logo, which is a globally recognized brand with a strong reputation for high-quality products among people with diabetes and Embecta’s distributors. Under the terms of the agreements entered into with BD in connection with the Separation and Distribution, Embecta received a temporary license to use the “BD” and “Becton Dickinson” name and logo on its products and marketing, certain legal entities and relevant regulatory registrations. Following the expiration of this license, Embecta will be required to rebrand and update, as applicable, its products and marketing, manufacturing, supply chain, and regulatory registrations and licenses using the “Embecta” name or other names and marks and remove the “BD” name and logo on its products and marketing, registrations and licenses. These new names and brands may not benefit from the same recognition and association with product quality as the BD name, which could adversely affect Embecta’s ability to attract and maintain its customers and end users, who may prefer to use products with a stronger brand identity.

24“Embecta” name or other names and marks and remove the “BD” name and logo on its products and marketing, registrations and licenses. While we have officially launched our brand transition from the "BD" name and logo in the U.S. and Canada, the remaining launches worldwide are planned to occur in phases, and these new names and brands may not benefit from the same recognition and association with product quality as the BD name, which could adversely affect Embecta’s ability to attract and maintain its customers and end users, who may prefer to use products with a stronger brand identity.

The failure to timely transfer, or in certain instances obtain new, registrations and licenses in the “Embecta” name could result in delays or interruptions in Embecta’s ability to continuously commercialize, import, export, market, promote, sell and otherwise distribute its products to its customers. This could result in customer dissatisfaction and turnover to our competitors, which could further result in loss of revenue for Embecta. In addition, Embecta will be required to closely collaborate with its customers, and ensure the proper changes, modifications, system inputs, supply chain logistics, administration, and adjudication operations are properly transitioned within the customer’s internal infrastructure, processes and systems, in order to successfully achieve the transition. Embecta’s or its customer’s inability to properly achieve these transitions could result in disruptions to Embecta’s product end-to-end product flow management and end-user access to products, which could adversely affect Embecta’s financial condition and results of operations.

Embecta has incurred debt obligations that could adversely affect its business and profitability and its ability to meet other obligations.

Embecta currently has approximately $1,~~601~~417 million in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025 (not including undrawn commitments of $500 million under its revolving credit facility). Embecta may also incur additional indebtedness in the future.

This significant amount of debt could potentially have important consequences to Embecta and its debt and equity investors, including:

•requiring a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to make interest payments;

•making it more difficult to satisfy debt service and other obligations;

•increasing the risk of a future credit ratings downgrade of its debt, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing;

•increasing its vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•reducing the cash flow available to fund capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and to grow its business;

•limiting Embecta’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry;

•placing Embecta at a competitive disadvantage relative to its competitors that may not be as highly leveraged with debt; and

•limiting Embecta’s ability to borrow additional funds as needed or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise, pay cash dividends or repurchase ordinary shares.

To the extent that Embecta incurs additional indebtedness, the foregoing risks could increase. In addition, Embecta’s actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Its cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to repay all of the outstanding debt as it becomes due, and Embecta may not be able to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, to refinance its debt.

Embecta may be affected by significant restrictions under the tax matters agreement, in order to avoid triggering significant tax-related liabilities.

Under current United States federal income tax law, a spin-off that otherwise qualifies for tax-free treatment can be rendered taxable to the parent corporation and its stockholders as a result of certain post-spin-off transactions, including certain acquisitions of shares or assets of the spun-off corporation. Under the tax matters agreement that Embecta entered into with BD, Embecta is restricted from taking certain actions that could prevent the distribution and certain related transactions from being tax-free for United States federal income tax purposes, or could result in certain other taxes to BD. In addition, under the tax matters agreement, Embecta may be required to indemnify BD and its affiliates against any tax-related liabilities incurred by them as a result of the acquisition of Embecta’s stock or assets, even if Embecta does not participate in or otherwise facilitate the acquisition, or as a result of certain other actions taken by Embecta. Furthermore, Embecta will be subject to specific restrictions on discontinuing the active conduct of its trade or business, the issuance or sale of stock or other securities (including securities convertible into Embecta stock but excluding certain compensatory arrangements), and sales of assets outside the ordinary course of business. Such restrictions may reduce Embecta’s strategic and operating flexibility. For more information, see the section entitled “Agreements Related to the Separation” in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Embecta may be held liable to BD if it fails to perform under its agreements with BD, and the performance of such services may negatively affect Embecta’s business and operations.

In connection with the Separation, Embecta and BD entered into various Separation Agreements that provide for the performance of certain services by each company for the benefit of the other for a period of time after the Separation. If Embecta does not satisfactorily perform its obligations under these agreements, it may be held liable for any resulting losses suffered by BD, subject to certain limits. In addition, during the transition services periods under the transition services agreement, Embecta’s management and employees may be required to divert their attention away from its business in order to provide services to BD, which could adversely affect Embecta’s business.

Embecta’s agreements with BD may be on terms that are less beneficial to Embecta than the terms may have otherwise been from unaffiliated third parties.

The Separation Agreements were prepared in the context of the Separation while Embecta was still a wholly owned subsidiary of BD. Accordingly, during the period in which the terms of those agreements were prepared, Embecta did not have an independent Board of Directors or a management team that was independent of BD. As a result, the terms of those agreements may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm’s-length negotiations between unaffiliated third parties.

If there is a determination that the distribution or certain related transactions are taxable for United States federal income tax purposes, BD and its stockholders could incur significant tax liabilities, and Embecta could incur significant liabilities pursuant to its indemnification obligations under the tax matters agreement.

BD received a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to the effect that, among other things, the Separation and the Distribution will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for United States federal income tax purposes under Sections 368(a)(1)(D), 355, and 361 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It was a condition to the distribution that BD receive (i) a private letter ruling from the IRS, satisfactory to the BD Board of Directors, regarding certain United States federal income tax matters relating to the Separation and Distribution and (ii) an opinion of its outside tax counsel, satisfactory to the BD Board of Directors, regarding the qualification of the contribution of assets from BD to Embecta and the distribution, taken together, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Code and such opinion has not been withdrawn or rescinded. The opinion of its outside tax counsel and the private letter ruling are based upon and rely on, among other things, various facts and assumptions, as well as certain representations, statements and undertakings of BD and Embecta, including facts, assumptions, representations, statements and undertakings relating to the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations and statements are or become inaccurate or incomplete, or if any such undertaking is not complied with, BD may not be able to rely on the opinion of its outside tax counsel or the private letter ruling, and the conclusions reached therein could be jeopardized.

Notwithstanding BD’s receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and the opinion of its outside tax counsel, the IRS could determine on audit that the distribution or certain related transactions are taxable for United States federal income tax purposes if it determines that any of the facts, assumptions, representations, statements and undertakings upon which the private letter ruling or the opinion was based are incorrect or have been violated, or if it disagrees with any of the conclusions in the opinion. Accordingly, notwithstanding BD’s receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and the opinion of its outside tax counsel, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert that the distribution or certain related transactions do not qualify for tax-free treatment for United States federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. In the event the IRS were to prevail in such a challenge, BD and BD’s shareholders could incur significant tax liabilities.

Under the tax matters agreement that Embecta entered into with BD, Embecta generally is required to indemnify BD for any taxes incurred by BD that arise as a result of any representations made by Embecta being inaccurate or Embecta taking or failing to take, as the case may be, certain actions, including in each case those provided in connection with the private letter ruling from the IRS or the opinion of its outside tax counsel that result in the distribution and certain related transactions failing to qualify as tax-free for United States federal income tax purposes or result in certain other taxes to BD, which indemnity is also applicable in connection with the Extension. Any such indemnification could materially adversely affect Embecta’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For a more detailed discussion, see “Agreements Related to the Separation” in Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The transfer to Embecta of certain contracts, permits and other assets and rights may require the consents, approvals of, or provide other rights to, third parties and governmental authorities. If such consents or approvals are not obtained, Embecta may not be entitled to the full benefit of such contracts, permits and other assets and rights, which could increase its expenses or otherwise harm its business and financial performance.

The separation and distribution agreement provides that certain contracts, permits and other assets and rights are to be transferred from BD or its subsidiaries to Embecta or its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation. The transfer of certain of these contracts, permits and other assets and rights may require consents or approvals of third parties or governmental authorities or provide other rights to third parties. In addition, in some circumstances, Embecta and BD are joint beneficiaries of contracts, and Embecta and BD may need the consents of third parties in order to split or separate the existing contracts or the relevant portion of the existing contracts to Embecta or BD.

26governmental authorities or provide other rights to third parties. In addition, in some circumstances, Embecta and BD are joint beneficiaries of contracts, and Embecta and BD may need the consents of third parties in order to split or separate the existing contracts or the relevant portion of the existing contracts to Embecta or BD.

Some parties may use consent requirements or other rights to seek to terminate contracts or obtain more favorable contractual terms from us, which, for example, could take the form of unfavorable price increases. This could require us to expend additional resources in order to obtain the services or assets previously provided under the contract, or require us to seek arrangements with new third parties or obtain letters of credit or other forms of credit support. If Embecta is unable to obtain required consents or approvals, it may be unable to obtain the benefits, permits, assets and contractual commitments that are intended to be allocated to Embecta as part of its Separation from BD, and Embecta may be required to seek alternative arrangements to obtain services and assets that may be more costly and/or of lower quality. The termination or modification of these contracts or permits or the failure to timely complete the transfer or separation of these contracts or permits could negatively affect Embecta’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The closing of the Separation was deferred in certain jurisdictions, and may not occur at all in such jurisdictions, due to local regulatory requirements, which may adversely affect Embecta’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The closing of the transfer of certain assets related to the Diabetes Care Business in certain jurisdictions, including India, as contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement did not occur at the Separation and may not occur due to local regulatory requirements. If Embecta is unable to obtain required approval of local regulators or otherwise comply with such local regulatory requirements to effect the Separation in these jurisdictions, it may be unable to obtain the assets that are intended to be allocated to Embecta as part of its separation from BD. The failure to timely complete the transfer of these local assets or interruptions resulting from these foreign transfers could negatively affect Embecta’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Satisfaction of indemnification obligations could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and certain other agreements Embecta entered into with BD in connection with the separation and distribution, BD agreed to indemnify Embecta for certain liabilities, and Embecta will agree to indemnify BD for certain liabilities as discussed further in Note 3 “~~Agreements~~Third Party Arrangements and Related toParty ~~the~~Disclosures” ~~Separation~~and Note 18 “Leases” in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 18 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Indemnities that Embecta will be required to provide BD could negatively affect Embecta’s business, particularly with respect to indemnities provided in the tax matters agreement.

The indemnity from BD may not be sufficient to protect Embecta against the full amount of such liabilities if, for example, BD is not able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if Embecta ultimately succeeds in recovering from BD any amounts for which it is held liable, Embecta may be temporarily required to bear these losses itself, requiring Embecta to divert cash that would otherwise have been used in furtherance of its operating business. In addition, third parties could also seek to hold Embecta responsible for any of the liabilities that BD has agreed to retain. Each of these risks could have a material adverse effect on Embecta’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Related to Embecta Common Stock

The price of Embecta common stock may fluctuate significantly, and stockholders could lose all or part of their investment in Embecta.

We cannot predict the prices at which shares of Embecta common stock may trade. Given the competitiveness of the life sciences and medical device industry, the prices at which shares of Embecta common stock trade may fluctuate more significantly than might otherwise be typical, even with other market conditions, including general volatility, held constant. This volatility could negatively impact Embecta’s ability to raise additional capital or utilize equity as consideration in any acquisition transactions Embecta may pursue, and could make it more difficult for existing stockholders to sell their shares of the common stock at a price they consider acceptable or at all. The market price of Embecta common stock may fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in Embecta’s operating results, including those associated with the ~~Interim~~ Business Continuity Processes;

•Embecta’s liquidity and ability to obtain additional capital, including the market’s reaction to any capital-raising transaction Embecta may pursue;

•changes in earnings estimated by securities analysts or Embecta’s ability to meet those estimates;

•the operating and stock price performance of comparable companies;

•sales of substantial amounts of Embecta’s common stock, or the perception that substantial amounts of Embecta’s common stock may be sold, by stockholders in the public market;

•changes to the global trade, regulatory, and legal environment under which Embecta operates;

•any negative decisions by the FDA or similar regulatory bodies inside and outside of the United States regarding Embecta’s products and product candidates;

•actual or anticipated fluctuations in commodities prices;

•analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;

2728

•changes in the diabetes care landscape, including changes to consumer habits and market dynamics for means and methods of insulin delivery or alternative means of diabetes management without the use of insulin or by delaying the use of insulin; and

•domestic and worldwide economic conditions.

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for stock of companies in the life sciences and medical device industries in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of comparable companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against a company. This type of litigation, if instituted against Embecta, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of its management’s attention and resources.

Your percentage of ownership in Embecta may be diluted in the future.

In the future, your percentage ownership in Embecta may be diluted because of equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions or otherwise, including any equity awards that Embecta will grant to its directors, officers and employees. Embecta employees will have stock-based awards granted from time to time based on various employee benefit plans. Such awards will have a dilutive effect on Embecta’s earnings per share, which could adversely affect the market price of Embecta common stock.

If our remedial measures are insufficient to address material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our ability to report financial information could be adversely affected, it could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements not being prevented or detected, it could harm our business, it could cause investors to lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, and the market price of our common stock may decline.

Internal controls related to our account reconciliations and analyses are critical to maintaining adequate oversight of our financial reporting and providing reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules that govern public companies. In particular, we are required to certify our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires us to furnish annually a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm is required to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, in the process of assessing our internal control over financial reporting, management identified deficiencies in internal controls related to certain account reconciliations and analyses. Subsequent to the first and second phases of our ERP implementation, we instituted new internal controls, processes, and procedures ("Control Activities"). Specifically, these newly designed Control Activities were executed for the first time in fiscal year 2024. Management has concluded that these newly designed Control Activities were not designed properly or operating effectively to ensure the appropriate level of management review, precision, and adequate evidence to confirm the completeness and accuracy of data used in the account reconciliations and analyses resulting in a material weakness. Specifically, management determined that we did not maintain effective controls over account reconciliations and analyses, thus constituting a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

As a result of this material weakness, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2024. As described in Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are implementing additional controls intended to remediate the material weakness.

There can be no assurance that our remediation efforts will be successful. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness timely and sufficiently or are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in the future, our ability to report financial information timely and accurately could be adversely affected, we may fail to meet our reporting requirements, and investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports. As a result, our business may be harmed, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, we could become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or ensure the fair and accurate presentation of our financial statements included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Embecta cannot guarantee the timing, amount or payment of dividends on its common stock.

Embecta currently expects that it will pay a regular cash dividend. However, the timing, declaration, amount and payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of Embecta’s Board of Directors, and will depend upon many factors, including Embecta’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of its operating subsidiaries, covenants associated with certain of Embecta’s debt service obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, ability to access capital markets, and other factors deemed relevant by Embecta’s Board of Directors. Moreover, Embecta cannot guarantee that it will continue to pay any dividends in the future and cannot guarantee the amount of any such dividends.

including Embecta’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements of its operating subsidiaries, covenants associated with certain of Embecta’s debt service obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice, ability to access capital markets, and other factors deemed relevant by Embecta’s Board of Directors. Moreover, Embecta cannot guarantee that it will continue to pay any dividends in the future and cannot guarantee the amount of any such dividends.

Anti-takeover provisions could enable Embecta’s Board of Directors to resist a takeover attempt by a third-party and limit the power of its stockholders.

Embecta’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain, and Delaware law contains, provisions that are intended to deter coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids by making such practices or bids unacceptably expensive to the bidder and to encourage prospective acquirers to negotiate with Embecta’s Board of Directors rather than to attempt a hostile takeover. These provisions include, among others:

•until the annual stockholder meeting in 2026, Embecta’s Board of Directors will be divided into three classes, with each class consisting, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors, which could have the effect of making the replacement of incumbent directors more time consuming and difficult;

•as long as the Board of Directors is classified, Embecta directors can be removed by stockholders only for cause;

•vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors can only be filled by a majority of the remaining members of Embecta’s Board of Directors or by a sole remaining director;

•stockholders do not have the right to call a special meeting or act by written consent;

•Embecta’s Board of Directors has the power to designate and issue, without any further vote or action by the Embecta stockholders, shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series; and

•stockholders have to follow certain procedures and notice requirements in order to present certain proposals or nominate directors for election at stockholder meetings.

In addition, Embecta will be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporate Law, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control that you may favor. Section 203 provides that, subject to limited exceptions, persons that acquire, or are affiliated with persons that acquire, more than 15% of the outstanding voting stock of a Delaware corporation may not engage in a business combination with that corporation, including by merger, consolidation or acquisitions of additional shares, for a three-year period following the date on which that person or any of its affiliates becomes the holder of more than 15% of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock.

We believe these provisions will protect Embecta stockholders from coercive or otherwise unfair takeover tactics by requiring potential acquirers to negotiate with Embecta’s Board of Directors and by providing the Board with more time to assess any acquisition proposal. These provisions are not intended to make Embecta immune from takeovers; however, these provisions will apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that Embecta’s Board of Directors determines is not in the best interests of Embecta and its stockholders. These provisions may also prevent or discourage attempts to remove and replace incumbent directors.

In addition, an acquisition or further issuance of Embecta common stock could trigger the application of Section 355(e) of the Code, causing the distribution to be taxable to BD. Under the tax matters agreement, Embecta would be required to indemnify BD for the resulting tax, and this indemnity obligation might discourage, delay or prevent a change of control that Embecta stockholders may consider favorable.

Embecta’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation designates the state courts within the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by Embecta stockholders, which could discourage lawsuits against Embecta and its directors and officers.

Embecta’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, unless Embecta (through approval of the Board of Directors) consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (1) any derivative action brought on behalf of Embecta, (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee of Embecta to Embecta or Embecta’s stockholders, (3) any action asserting a claim against Embecta or any director or officer or other employee of Embecta arising pursuant to, or seeking to enforce any right, obligation or remedy under, any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or Embecta’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), (4) any action asserting a claim against Embecta or any director or officer or other employee of Embecta governed by the internal affairs doctrine, which is a conflict of laws principle which recognizes that only one state should have the authority to regulate a corporation’s internal affairs or (5) any action as to which the DGCL (as it may be amended from time to time) confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. If and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismisses any such action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, such action may be brought in another state court sitting in the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). These exclusive forum provisions will apply to all covered actions, including any covered action in which the plaintiff chooses to assert a claim or claims under federal law in addition to a claim or claims under Delaware law. These exclusive forum provisions will not apply to actions asserting only federal law claims under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") regardless of whether the state courts in the State of Delaware have jurisdiction over those claims. Although Embecta believes the exclusive forum provision benefits it by providing increased consistency in the application of law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may limit the ability of Embecta stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with Embecta or its directors or officers, and it may be costlier for Embecta stockholders to bring a claim in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware than other judicial forums, each of which may discourage such lawsuits against Embecta and its directors and officers.

Although Embecta’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes this exclusive forum provision, it is possible that a court could rule that this provision is inapplicable or unenforceable. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, Embecta may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could negatively affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We rely on industry-standard software applications, IT systems, computing infrastructure, enterprise resource planning systems, and cloud service providers (collectively referred to as "Information Systems") to perform essential operations. Many of these systems are managed, hosted, provided, or utilized by third parties, ~~including BD,~~ to support our business activities.

We have implemented administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and processes to assess, identify, and manage material risks from known cybersecurity, information, or data security risks and threats to our Information Systems and operations. However, our Information Systems could be disrupted, degraded, destroyed, or manipulated intentionally or accidentally by our employees, third parties with authorized access, or cyber threat actors, which could negatively and adversely impact key business processes. The size and complexity of our Information Systems, as well as those of our third-party providers, make them potentially vulnerable to such service interruptions. Additionally, we and our third-party providers have experienced and expect to continue experiencing phishing attempts, network scanning attempts, and other unauthorized access attempts to our computers, Information Systems, networks, and devices. These increasingly sophisticated attacks are carried out by groups and individuals with various motives and expertise, including, but not limited to, state and quasi-state actors, criminal groups, hackers, and others. Such attacks could result in the loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability of our data and Information Systems.

Security risks to both the Company and its customers data and information are continuously evaluated and monitored. We actively monitor security 24 hours a day and seven days a week through our global Security Operations Center. We have implemented a multi-layered defense-in-depth approach using technologies that meet or exceed industry standards. Additionally, we expect our vendors to adhere to our data privacy and security standards and we evaluate their ability to comply as part of our vendor assessment process. This includes assessing internal and external threats to the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Embecta and third party provider data and systems, as well as other risks to our operations. Embecta utilizes the ISO 27001 framework, which incorporates the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Center for Internet Security frameworks, and various risk management frameworks to proactively evaluate its cybersecurity controls, risks, and overall program effectiveness. As part of our risk management process, we engage external providers to conduct periodic internal and external penetration testing and security assessments. Additionally, under our third-party risk management program, we assess vendor cybersecurity risks, including those associated with our cloud vendors and other third-parties. We maintain security and privacy policies and procedures that align with industry-standard control frameworks and comply with applicable regulatory requirements, laws, and standards. Enterprise cybersecurity policies undergo an annual review and approval by our Information Security Risk Committee (“ISRC”).

Embecta has established a Cyber Security Incident Response Team, a cross-functional team composed of representatives from our Information Technology, Information Security, Product Security, Privacy, Legal, and Human Resources groups. This team is responsible for the response to security threats by implementing our detailed incident response plan. Our incident response plan includes processes, procedures, and playbooks for assessing potential internal and external threats, developing remediation plans, and facilitating post-incident recovery; all designed to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and availability of both Company and customer data.

Governance

Cybersecurity risk management is integrated into our broader Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework to promote a Company-wide culture of awareness and proactive risk management. Our ERM framework is overseen by the Audit Committee and Board of Directors. Our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") and Vice President, CISO & IT Infrastructure and Security ("VP IT") are responsible for updating the Audit Committee and Board of Directors on Embecta’s cyber risk. The CIO and VP IT have oversight of cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes that protect Embecta’s enterprise network, Information Systems and information assets, and product technologies. The ISRC oversees our cybersecurity governance and manages various controls, ensuring accountability at all levels of the organization, including senior management and the executive leadership team. The ISRC meets quarterly, oversees enterprise and cybersecurity risk management and reports to the ERM team and the Audit Committee. These committees receive updates on cybersecurity-related topics throughout the year including any major cybersecurity incidents. Additionally, the Board of Directors receives periodic updates on information security and cybersecurity matters from our CIO and VP IT.

Our information security organization is led by our VP IT, who has over fifteen years of relevant experience, serving in various IT leadership roles within the medical device and medical technology industry. The VP IT is responsible for all aspects of our cybersecurity program, including cybersecurity engineering and architecture, cybersecurity operations, monitoring, incident response, threat intelligence, identity and access management, cybersecurity risk and compliance, and vulnerability management. Our VP IT reports to our CIO, who brings over 30 years of diverse strategic and operational experience in IT management, process leadership, digital, and technology modernization. Our CIO reports to the Chief Financial Officer.

Item 2. Properties.

Embecta's corporate headquarters is located in Parsippany, New Jersey, USA. The Company also maintains secondary regional headquarters at leased office facilities in Eysins, Switzerland, Shanghai, China and Singapore. ~~The Company has a global research and development center in a leased office/lab facility located in Andover, Massachusetts, USA.~~ Embecta has three manufacturing facilities located in Ireland, the United States, and China which occupy an aggregate of approximately 800,000 square feet of space.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are from time to time subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and litigation may include, among other things, allegations of violations of United States and foreign health regulation and privacy laws and related regulations, as well as claims or litigation relating to product liability, intellectual property, breach of contract and tort, environmental, securities and employment matters. We operate in multiple jurisdictions and, as a result, claims in one jurisdiction may lead to claims or regulatory penalties in other jurisdictions. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of a legal proceeding; however, we intend to defend vigorously against any pending or future claims and litigation, other than matters deemed appropriate for settlement. We accrue a liability for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of ~~resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those claims. As of September 30, 2024, we were not a party to or subject to any material proceedings.~~

Company Overview

We are a leading global medical device company focused on providing solutions to improve the health and well-being of people living with diabetes. In the 100-year history of our business, we believe that our products have become some of the most widely recognized and respected brands in diabetes management in the world. We estimate that our products are used by approximately 30 million people in over 100 countries for insulin administration and to aid with the daily management of diabetes. Our business traces its origins to 1924, when BD developed the first dedicated insulin syringe. Since then, we have built a world-class organization with a unique manufacturing, supply chain and commercial footprint.

3334

We have a broad portfolio of marketed products, including a variety of pen needles, syringes and safety injection devices. Our pen needles are sterile, single-use, medical devices, designed to be used in conjunction with pen injectors that inject insulin or other diabetes medications. We also sell safety pen needles, which have shields on both ends of the cannula that automatically deploy after the injection to help prevent needlestick exposure and injury during injection and disposal. Our traditional and safety pen needles are compatible and frequently used with widely available pen injectors in the market today. In addition to pen needles, we sell sterile, single-use insulin syringes, which are used to inject insulin drawn from insulin vials. We also sell safety insulin syringes, which have a sliding safety shield that can be activated with one-hand after the injection to help prevent needlestick exposure and injury during injection and disposal.

We primarily sell our products to wholesalers and distributors that sell to retail and institutional channels who in turn sell to patients or use the products to deliver insulin injections to patients.

Separation from BD

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Separation from BD was completed on April 1, 2022. On March 22, 2022, the record date for the distribution, 57,012,925 issued and outstanding shares of Embecta common stock were distributed pro-rata to BD stockholders as of the close of business, determined by applying a ratio of one share of Embecta common stock for every five shares of BD common stock. "Regular-way" trading of Embecta common stock began on April 1, 2022, under the ticker symbol "EMBC".

Periods Prior to Separation

Prior to the Separation, the Company was referred to as the Diabetes Care Business. For periods prior to April 1, 2022, the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K include certain assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses that were historically held at the BD corporate level, but are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to the Diabetes Care Business.

Periods Post Separation

For the periods subsequent to April 1, 2022, as a standalone publicly traded company, Embecta presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. The Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Key Trends Affecting Our Results of Operations

Competition. The regions in which we conduct our business and the medical devices industry in general are highly competitive. We face significant competition from a wide range of companies in a highly regulated industry. These include large companies with multiple product lines, some of which may have greater financial and marketing resources than us, as well as smaller more specialized companies. Non-traditional entrants, such as technology companies, are also entering into the diabetes care industry and its adjacent markets, some of which may have greater financial and marketing resources than us.

Pricing Pressures. We face significant pricing pressures from competitors in the pen needle and insulin syringe categories who not only can provide competitive products at lower costs, but also provide payors and customers with more choices for formulary partners in these categories. In addition, the increased scrutiny by regulators on healthcare spending, which accelerated in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with a shift towards volume-based procurement and group purchasing organizations, which generally values lower cost over product features, benefits and quality, have placed significant pressure on Embecta to lower price in both developed and emerging markets. These trends may reduce our operating margins, which are only partially offset by our ability to differentiate our products and sell at higher prices.

Commoditization of Injection Devices. Given the growing demand for medical devices to assist in the treatment of diabetes and difficulties around access to diabetes care due to complex and costly insurance plans, patient care is increasingly focused on providing more affordable products, which has led to the commoditization of more traditional injection delivery devices, such as insulin syringes and pen needles. Existing and new local and regional low-cost providers, in combination with a shift from insulin vials to insulin pens, have made the pen needle category highly competitive. ~~This has forced providers to provide clinical evidence to differentiate their products.~~

~~Changes~~Global inTrade. ~~Clinical~~The ~~Practice.~~current ~~Introduction~~global ofeconomic environment has been recently influenced by rapidly changing new ~~drugs~~tariff policies instituted by the United States government and ~~increased~~foreign ~~penetration~~governments. ofAs ~~oral~~a global company that both imports raw materials and ~~once-weekly~~products ~~anti-diabetic~~into ~~drugs~~the (eU.gS., ~~SGLT-2s),~~and ~~GLP-1s~~distributes ~~and~~raw ~~GLP-1~~materials ~~combination~~and products originating from the U.S. to global manufacturing sites and markets, these new tariffs may have ~~delayed~~a ~~initiation~~financial impact on our cost of ~~insulin~~goods, ~~therapy~~our ~~and~~profit ~~contributed~~margins, toour ~~less~~business ~~demand~~generally ~~for~~and our ~~products~~global distribution strategy. ~~New~~These ~~drug~~new ~~therapies,~~tariffs ~~including~~may ~~weekly~~cause ~~insulin,~~foreign ~~are~~governments ~~targeted~~and private purchasers to ~~challenge~~consider ~~the~~transitioning ~~current~~away ~~diabetes~~from ~~treatment~~products ~~paradigm,~~originating from certain countries (including the ~~frequency~~U.S.) ~~insulin~~in isfavor ~~dosed~~of ~~(weekly~~buying ~~vs.~~“local” ~~daily~~products ~~injections)~~resulting ~~and~~in ~~amount~~the ofadditional ~~insulin~~possibility ~~used.~~that ~~Additionally~~local manufacturers, ~~insulin~~brands ~~therapy~~and other competitors may engage in ~~developed~~aggressive ~~markets~~competitive ~~continues~~pricing to take advantage of the uncertain global trade environment and transition tocustomers ~~infusion~~away ~~pumps~~from global manufacturers, all of which may impact the Company’s business and operations.

Additionally, insulin therapy in developed markets continues to transition to infusion pumps.

34Decentralization of Chronic Care. Many countries are facing an aging population and a rapidly growing number of people living with diabetes. While healthcare investments in certain regions continue to grow, there is an increased burden on physicians and longer wait times for patients. Healthcare delivery for non-emergency diabetes care is expected to continue shifting outside of hospitals to primary care providers, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

physicians and longer wait times for patients. Healthcare delivery for non-emergency diabetes care is expected to continue shifting outside of hospitals to primary care providers, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Political and Economic Instability in Emerging Markets. We operate in a number of emerging markets, many of which are subject from time to time to significant political and economic disruptions. However, the number of countries we provide products to and our proactive channel management strategies help us manage this variability.

Recent Developments

In December 2023, we submitted our first 510(k) premarket filing to the FDA for our proprietary disposable insulin delivery system. In September, 2024, we announced that we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. On November 22, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue internal and external investment in the research and development of our patch pump program. As a result of this decision, we will undergo an organizational restructuring (the "Restructuring Plan"). In addition, we intend to discontinue our commercial operation plans for the insulin delivery system, including the previous intended limited launch.

We estimate that we will incur approximately $25 million - $30 million in pre-tax cash-based charges primarily associated with employee severance payments and benefits related to the workforce reduction. We expect that the majority of the restructuring charges related to the workforce reduction will be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and that the implementation of the workforce reduction, including cash payments, will be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

We estimate that we will incur approximately $10 million - $15 million of additional pre-tax non-cash charges related to asset impairments and asset write-offs. These preliminary estimates may be revised following the completion of the ongoing analysis of the expected additional pre-tax non-cash charges associated with the implementation of the Restructuring Plan.

The estimates of the pre-tax cash charges and additional charges that we expect to incur in connection with the Restructuring Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, we may incur other pre-tax cash charges or additional charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Restructuring Plan.

On March 28, 2024, we entered into (i) a second amendment (the “TSA Amendment”) to the TSA, dated as of March 31, 2022 and previously amended as of July 1, 2022 by and between Embecta and BD, and (ii) a second amendment (the “LSA Amendment”) to the LSA, dated January 1, 2022 and previously amended as of November 20, 2023, by and between Embecta and BD. Pursuant to the TSA and the LSA, originally entered into in connection with the Separation, Embecta and BD and their respective affiliates provide each other, on an interim, transitional basis, the Business Continuity Processes. Under the TSA Amendment and the LSA Amendment, BD granted Embecta, among other things, a limited extension until November 1, 2024 of certain services in a limited set of markets to support the Business Continuity Processes.

We continue to monitor the conflict in Ukraine and the associated sanctions and other restrictions. We also are monitoring the Israel-Hamas war and Houthi attacks on commercial shipping vessels and other naval vessels. As of December 11, 2024, there is no material impact to our business operations and financial performance as a result of the aforementioned conflicts. However, the full impact of the conflicts on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflicts and their impact on regional and global economic conditions. We will continue to monitor these conflicts and assess the related restrictions and other effects on our business. See Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

In addition, our revenues and results of operations have been affected by various fluctuations in macroeconomic conditions and regulatory and policy changes, both on a global level and in particular markets, which include inflation and slowing economic growth and contractions, a rising interest rate environment, supply chain interruptions, tariff policy changes, volatility in capital markets and the availability of credit, tax rates and the rate of exchange between the United States dollar and foreign currencies. The nature and extent of the impact of these factors among others varies by region and remains uncertain and unpredictable and may affect our business.

Recent Developments

We continue to face increases in the cost and disrupted availability of raw materials, components, and other inputs necessary to manufacture and distribute our products due to constraints and inflation within the global supply chain, as well as increases in the cost and time to distribute our products. To date we have been able to successfully mitigate this disruption and provide uninterrupted supply to our customers by increasing our inventory levels and taking other measures. Given our global business, we expect recently announced tariffs will result in additional cost for us and our suppliers, and there is the potential that such tariffs may influence future decisions by foreign governments and private purchasers to source non-U.S., “locally” manufactured products instead of products originating from certain countries (including the U.S.) and that local manufacturers, brands and other competitors may engage in aggressive competitive pricing or other strategies to take advantage of the uncertain global trade environment and transition customers away from global manufacturers. Tariffs did not have a material impact on our fiscal year 2025 results. We will continue to monitor the evolving tariff environment and we will focus on optimizing operations and leveraging existing strategies to reduce the impact from tariffs.

On November 22, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue internal and external investment in the research and development of our patch pump program. As a result, the Company incurred organizational restructuring plan (the "Patch Pump Restructuring Plan") costs of $34.5 million during the year ended September 30, 2025. Restructuring actions associated with the Patch Pump Restructuring Plan to discontinue the patch pump program are substantially complete as of September 30, 2025. In addition, we discontinued our commercial operation plans for the insulin delivery system, including the previous intended limited launch. The Company plans to refocus its investment on its core business while looking to optimize free cash flow and strengthen its balance sheet by paying down debt.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the "2025 Restructuring Plan") to streamline the organization and optimize resources. As a result, the Company incurred organizational restructuring plan costs of $3.5 million during the year ended September 30, 2025. The 2025 Restructuring Plan is substantially complete as of September 30, 2025.

We continue to monitor the conflict in Ukraine and the associated sanctions and other restrictions. We also are monitoring the conflicts in the Middle East and Houthi attacks on commercial shipping vessels and other naval vessels. As of November 25, 2025, there is no material impact to our business operations and financial performance as a result of the aforementioned conflicts. However, the full impact of the conflicts on our business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the conflicts and their impact on regional and global economic conditions. We will continue to monitor these conflicts and assess the related restrictions and other effects on our business. See Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details.

This was partially offset by~~ lower ~~TSA~~compensation ~~and~~expense ~~LSA~~recognized ~~costs incurred from BD~~ in ~~the~~fiscal ~~current~~ year ~~period~~2025.

Research and development expenses

Our research and development expenses decreased by $641.45 million, or 752.57%, to $7837.83 million for the year ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025 as compared to $8578.28 million for the year ended September 30, ~~2023~~2024. The decrease was primarily driven by ~~timing~~a ofreduction ~~expenses~~in ~~incurred~~payments made in connection with the development of our insulin patch pump ~~platform~~program in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024, given the discontinuation of the patch pump program.

On November 22, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue internal and external investment in the research and development of the Company's patch pump program. The Company will refocus its research and development strategy on its core business. We expect our research and development expense to decrease sequentially in fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2024.

Impairment expense

During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not record any impairment charges.

During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.5 million related to the abandonment of certain manufacturing equipment in China that is no longer in use that was inherited as part of the Separation from BD. These assets were previously included as a component of Machinery, equipment and fixtures within Property, Plant and Equipment in our Consolidated Balance Sheets in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The impairment charges are recognized within Impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Other operating expenses

We incurred other operating expenses of $124.5 million and $99.4 million for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The costs incurred primarily relate to accounting, auditing, legal services, marketing, supply chain, employee retention, costs associated with the implementation of our new ERP system and other Business Continuity Processes, and certain other costs to establish certain stand-alone functions to assist with the transition to being a stand-alone entity. These costs also include certain severance costs related to the optimization of certain business functions as we transition to being a stand-alone entity. We expect the amount of those costs to be less in fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024.

For the year ended September 30, 2024, we recognized costs associated with the amortization of cloud computing arrangements. For the year ended September 30, 2023, there was no amortization of implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements due to the timing of when these projects were placed into service.

Other operating expenses are as follows:

•Restructuring related costs associated with the optimization of certain business functions as we transition to being a stand-alone entity;

•Severance and contract termination costs associated with the discontinued patch pump program; and

•Costs recognized associated with the amortization of cloud computing arrangements.

See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below and Note 1312 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further description of our long-term debt.

Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was $~~(10~~1.3)5 million and $(810.83) million for the years ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

Income tax provision (benefit)

The Company's income tax provision (benefit) decreased to $(34.1) million for the year ended September 30, 2024 from $35.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in withholding taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries related to the expiration of a two-year stock holding period requirement in Switzerland, the recognition of deferred tax assets from Switzerland tax reform, changes in the geographical mix of earnings and overall lower pre-tax earnings; partially offset by an increase in uncertain tax positions and non-deductible expenses.

Income tax provision (benefit) increased to $40.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2025 from $(34.1) million for the year ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to the absence of 2024 tax benefits from the recognition of deferred tax assets related to tax reform in Switzerland, the absence of 2024 tax benefits from the reduction of withholding tax accruals on unremitted foreign earnings resulting from the expiration of certain stock ownership holding period requirements, fewer nontaxable items of income and the correlative tax impacts of these changes on higher overall earnings in 2025. This was partially offset by tax benefits from tax return true ups for tax filings made during 2025.

See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further description of our provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For discussion on Liquidity and Capital Resources pertaining to the fiscal years ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2023~~2024.

We believe that our cash and our cash equivalents and cash from operations, together with our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility, will provide sufficient financial flexibility to fund seasonal and other working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service requirements and other obligations, cash dividends on common shares and additional growth opportunities for the foreseeable future. However, should it become necessary, we believe that our credit profile should provide us with access to additional financing in order to fund normal business operations, make interest payments, fund growth opportunities and satisfy upcoming debt maturities.

Debt-Related Activities

In February 2022, and in connection with the Separation, Embecta issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior secured notes due February 15, 2030 (the "5.00% Notes"). Interest payments on the 5.00% Notes are due semi-annually in February and August until maturity. Interest payments began in August 2022.

In March 2022, Embecta entered into a credit agreement, providing for a Term Loan B Facility (the "Term Loan") in the amount of $950.0 million, with a seven-year term that matures in March 2029 and a Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, with a five-year term that matures in 2027. The interest rate on the Term Loan is 300 basis points over the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a 0.50% SOFR floor. Principal and interest payments on the Term Loan began on June 30, 2022. Such quarterly principal payments are calculated as 0.25% of the initial principal amount, with the remaining balance payable upon maturity. Principal amounts repaid under the Term Loan may not be reborrowed by us. The Company may from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty subject to certain exceptions. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at Embecta’s option, initially at an annual rate equal to (a) in the case of loans denominated in United States dollars (i) the SOFR or (ii) the alternate base rate or (b) in the case of loans denominated in Euros, the EURIBOR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin specified in the credit agreement. A commitment fee applies to the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, equal to 0.25% per annum. As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, no amount has been drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Additionally, Embecta has outstanding $200.0 million of senior secured notes (the "6.75% Notes"), which carry an interest rate of 6.75% and are due February 2030. Interest payments on the 6.75% Notes are due semi-annually in February and August until maturity. Interest payments began in August 2022.

The following is a summary of Embecta's total debt outstanding as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025:

Total debt	$	1,398.2

Short-term debt as a percentage of total debt	0.7		%
Weighted average cost of total debt	6.4		%

The credit agreement and the indentures for the 5.00% Notes and the 6.75% Notes contain customary financial covenants, including a total net leverage ratio covenant, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated total net debt to (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and subject to other adjustments, must meet certain defined limits which are tested on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement and indentures governing the 5.00% Notes and the 6.75% Notes. In addition, the credit agreement contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to prepay, redeem or repurchase our subordinated and junior lien debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity interests, and create or become subject to liens. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of such covenants. The credit agreement and the senior secured notes are secured by substantially all assets of Embecta and each subsidiary guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

During the year ended September 30, 2025 , the Company paid an aggregate principal amount of approximately $184.6 million on the Term Loan, of which $175.1 million was discretionary. Debt extinguishment charges as a result of these discretionary prepayments were not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

We may, from time to time, seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchase, or privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise may redeem some or all of our debt pursuant to its terms. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend upon various factors existing at the time, including prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and there can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives, or combination thereof, we may choose to pursue in the future.

Factoring Agreements

In conjunction with the Separation, we entered into Factoring Agreements (the "Factoring Agreements") with BD. Embecta owed BD a service fee calculated as 0.1% of annual revenues related to countries subject to the Factoring Agreements, in exchange for the services provided by BD pursuant to the Factoring Agreements.

As of March 31, 2024, all Factoring Agreements between Embecta and BD had expired and terminated as a result of our implementation and onboarding of certain Business Continuity Processes in North America, and certain jurisdictions in Europe and Asia.

Access to Capital and Credit Ratings

In May 2024 and June 2024, Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services published updates to our credit ratings. Our Moody's Investors Services credit rating is B1 and our Standard & Poor's Rating Services credit rating is B+.

Cash and equivalents and restricted cash were $274.2 million as of September 30, 2024 as compared to $326.5 million as of September 30, 2023.

The primary sources and uses of cash that contributed to the $52.3 million decrease were:

September 30, 2023 Cash and equivalents and restricted cash balance	$	326.5
Cash provided by operating activities	35.7
Cash used for investing activities	(15.8)
Cash used for financing activities	(73.4)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and equivalents and restricted cash	1.2
September 30, 2024 Cash and equivalents and restricted cash balance	$	274.2

Receivables Sale Agreement

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company entered into a trade receivables sale agreement with a third-party financial institution to sell certain trade receivables of the Company at a discount on an uncommitted basis. These trade receivable sales are accounted for as a sale of assets, as the Company's continuing involvement is limited to servicing the accounts receivables. The Company receives the sales price, equal to the trade receivable less the applicable discount, at the time of sale.

In connection with the Company's receivables sale agreement, $63.2 million of trade receivables were sold during fiscal year 2025, resulting in derecognition of the receivables from the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Discounts recognized on the sale of trade receivables were not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The cash received on the sale of trade receivables during fiscal year 2025 is presented in changes in trade receivables, net within operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Access to Capital and Credit Ratings

In May 2025 and June 2025, Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services published updates and reaffirmed our preexisting credit ratings. Our Moody's Investors Services credit rating is B1 and our Standard & Poor's Rating Services credit rating is B+.

Cash and equivalents and restricted cash were $228.6 million as of September 30, 2025 as compared to $274.2 million as of September 30, 2024.

The primary sources and uses of cash that contributed to the $45.6 million decrease were:

Cash provided by operating activities	191.7
Cash used for investing activities	(9.3)
Cash used for financing activities	(226.7)

The updated amounts for these line items are included in the audited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Fiscal 2024 Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $35.7 million as presented in the Earnings Release remains unchanged from the amount presented on this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, which require material cash requirements in the future, consist of purchase obligations and lease obligations. Purchase obligations are enforceable and legally binding obligations for purchases of goods and services which include inventory purchase commitments. Over the next several years, we expect to incur material costs associated with operating and maintaining our information technology infrastructure. Lease obligations include lease agreements for which a contract has been signed even if the lease has not yet commenced.

As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, total payments due for purchase obligations and lease obligations aggregate to approximately $~~211~~143 million and $7468 million, respectively. Contractual obligations due within the next twelve months approximate $~~112~~108 million related to purchase commitments and $10 million related to lease obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion supplements the descriptions of our accounting policies contained in Note 32 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex and, consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. For any given estimate or assumption made by management, it is possible that other people applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances could develop different estimates. Actual results that differ from management’s estimates could have an unfavorable effect in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Revenue Recognition

Our revenues are primarily recognized when the customer obtains control of the product sold, which is generally upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms specified in the distribution or sales agreement.

Our gross revenues are subject to a variety of deductions, which include rebates, chargebacks, sales discounts and sales returns. These deductions represent estimates of the related obligations, and judgment is required when determining the impact of these revenue deductions on gross revenues for a reporting period. Rebates are based upon prices determined under our agreements with the end-user customers. Additional factors considered in the estimate of our rebate liability include the quantification of inventory that is either in stock at or in transit to our distributors, as well as the estimated lag time between the sale of product and the payment of corresponding rebates.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at the applicable tax rates.

We maintain valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. The Company conducts business and files tax returns in numerous jurisdictions based on its interpretation of tax laws and regulations. In evaluating the Company’s tax provision, the Company establishes a reserve for uncertain tax positions unless such positions are determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination based on the technical

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” "can," “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” "possible," “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect Embecta’s expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, forecasts relating to discussions of future operations and financial performance (including volume growth, pricing, sales and earnings per share growth and cash flows), restructuring expenses and charges, and statements regarding Embecta’s strategy for growth and paying down debt, the Patch Pump Restructuring Plan, the 2025 Restructuring Plan, expectations related to the impact of incremental tariffs, brand transition, future product development, anticipated product and regulatory clearances, approvals, and launches, competitive position and expenditures. Forward-looking statements are based upon our present intent, beliefs or expectations, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Although Embecta believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements it makes are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•Competitive factors that could adversely affect Embecta’s operations, including adoption of new drug therapies for treatment of diabetes, new product introductions by Embecta’s competitors, the development of new technologies, lower cost producers that create pricing pressure and consolidation resulting in companies with greater scale and market presence than Embecta.

•The risk that Embecta is unable to replace the services, including the Business Continuity Processes, that BD currently provides to it on substantially similar terms as the terms on which BD is providing these services under the transaction agreements or that BD terminates such services.

•Any failure by BD to perform its obligations under the various separation agreements entered into in connection with the Separation and distribution, including the cannula supply agreement.

•Any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of one of Embecta’s key products or the revenue delivered from sales to its key customers.

•Increases in operating costs, including costs incurred from the new tariffs instituted by the U.S. government and certain foreign governments on raw materials and products, fluctuations in the cost and availability of oil-based resins, other raw materials, and energy as well as certain components, used in its products, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, and the potential adverse effects of any disruption in the availability of such items.

•~~Embecta’s~~The ~~ability~~risk tothat ~~obtain~~as ~~clearance~~a result of the current global trade environment from the ~~FDA~~newly ofinstituted ~~any~~tariffs, ~~product~~certain foreign governments, toprivate ~~market~~purchasers and ~~sell~~other ~~such~~customers in certain countries may consider transitioning away from products ~~successfully,~~originating tofrom ~~anticipate~~certain countries (including the ~~needs~~U.S.) in favor of ~~people~~buying ~~with~~“local” ~~diabetes,~~products and ~~future~~local ~~business~~manufacturers ~~decisions~~and bycompetitors ~~Embecta~~may attempt to capitalize on these sentiments and ~~its~~participate ~~competitors~~in aggressive competitive pricing or other strategies to transition, or divert, current and potential customers away Embecta.

•Embecta’s ability to obtain clearance from the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities of any product, to market and sell such products successfully, to anticipate the needs of people with diabetes, and future business decisions by Embecta and its competitors.

•Changes in reimbursement practices of governments or private payers or other cost containment measures.

•The adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as regional, national and foreign economic factors, including inflation, deflation, and fluctuations in interest rates, and their potential effect on its operating performance.

•The impact of changes in United States, federal laws, and policy that could affect fiscal and tax policies, healthcare and international trade, including import and export regulation, tariffs, and international trade agreements. In particular, tariffs or other trade barriers imposed by the United States or other countries could adversely impact its supply chain costs or otherwise adversely impact its results of operations.

•Any future impact of pandemics or geopolitical instability on Embecta’s business, including disruptions in its operations and supply chains.

•New or changing laws and regulations affecting Embecta’s domestic and foreign operations, or changes in enforcement practices, including laws relating to healthcare, environmental protection, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, taxation (including tax reforms that could adversely impact multinational corporations) and licensing and regulatory requirements for products.

•The expected benefits of the Separation from BD.

•Risks associated with indebtedness and our use of indebtedness available to us.

•The risk that dis-synergy costs, costs of restructuring transactions and other costs incurred in connection with the Separation will exceed Embecta's estimates.

•The impact of the Separation on Embecta's businesses and the risk that the Separation may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, including the impact on its resources, systems, including ERP, procedures and controls, diversion of management’s attention and the impact on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties.

•~~The~~Embecta’s ~~expectations~~ability ~~related~~ to timely and successfully complete the ~~costs,~~brand ~~profitability~~transition, ~~timing~~including any resulting regulatory delays of transferring or obtaining registrations and licenses in the ~~estimated~~“Embecta” ~~financial~~name, ~~impact~~interruptions in, or customer confusion from, the replacement and transfer of the rebranded product into the current commercialization, supply and ~~charges~~distribution ~~associated~~networks, ~~with~~or other issues arising out of system, supply chain logistics, administrative and adjudicative operations transitions in the ~~Restructuring~~end-to-end ~~Plan~~product flow and end-user access.

•The expectations related to the costs, profitability, timing and the estimated financial impact of, and charges associated with, the Patch Pump Restructuring Plan and the 2025 Restructuring Plan.

•The risk that we may not complete strategic collaborative partnerships and acquisition opportunities that enable us to accelerate our growth or strategic collaborative opportunities that give us access to innovative technologies, complementary product lines, and new markets.

•The risks associated with the material weakness identified in our internal control over financial reporting and our ability to remediate such material weakness.

There can be no assurance that the transactions or uncertainties described above will in fact be consummated or occur in the manner described or at all. As a result, you should not place undue reliance upon our forward-looking statements. The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. For additional information on identifying factors that may cause actual results to vary materially from those stated in forward-looking statements, see the discussions under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” or in our other filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Embecta expressly disclaims and assumes no obligation to update or revise such statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

We operate on a global basis and are exposed to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with major financial institutions to manage currency exposures for transactions denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency. As a result, the impact of foreign currency gains/losses recognized in earnings are partially offset by gains/losses on the related foreign currency forward exchange contracts in the same reporting period. Refer to Note 16, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Consequently, foreign currency exchange contracts would not subject us to material risk due to exchange rate movements, because gains and losses on these contracts offset gains and losses on the assets, liabilities or transactions being hedged.

Interest Rate Risk

Debt - Our interest rate risk as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025 relates primarily to our Term Loan. The interest rate is set at 300 basis points over SOFR, with a 0.50% SOFR floor. Based on our outstanding borrowings at September 30, ~~2024~~2025, a 100 basis points change in interest rates would have impacted interest expense on the Term Loan by $97.01 million on an annualized basis. To the extent we borrow on our revolving credit facility, we will be subject to risks related to changes in SOFR. Refer to Note 1312 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Embecta Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Embecta Corp. (the Company) as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) , and our report dated ~~December~~November 1125, ~~2024~~2025 expressed an ~~adverse~~unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

45Estimation of variable consideration for revenue recognition Description of the Matter As discussed in Note 2 and 7 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenue recognition involves estimates of variable consideration, such as chargebacks, which are treated as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. These estimates are based on contractual terms, historical practices and current trends, and are adjusted as new information becomes available. Factors considered in the estimate of the chargeback liability include the estimated lag time between the sale of product and the payment of corresponding variable consideration.Auditing management’s estimate for the chargeback liability attributable to the lag time between the sale of product and the payment of corresponding variable consideration is significant to our audit as the related impact on revenue recognition is material and sensitive to change. The estimate of the liability attributable to the estimated lag time by management is sensitive to changes in historical practices and current trends, which involves judgment and estimation to determine the impact of these assumptions on the deductions to gross revenues, and therefore requires a higher degree of auditor judgement.

						Measurement of uncertain tax positions
Description of the Matter						As described in Notes 3 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a consolidated income tax benefit totaling $34.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2024, and a liability for unrecognized tax benefits totaling $13.6 million at September 30, 2024. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded total of deferred tax assets and liabilities of $140.9 million and $24.7 million, respectively. The Company conducts business and files tax returns in numerous jurisdictions based on its interpretation of tax laws and regulations and engages in transactions for which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty. The Company uses significant judgment to (1) determine whether, based on the technical merits, its tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination and (2) measure the amount of the tax benefit that qualifies for recognition.Given the multi-jurisdictional nature of the business, the complexity of the tax laws and legal rulings across the various countries the Company operates in, auditing management’s accounting for uncertain tax positions required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our tax subject matter professionals.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit						With the support of our tax subject matter professionals, our audit procedures included assessing the technical merits of the Company’s tax positions, including assessing correspondence with relevant tax authorities and evaluating third-party advice obtained. We evaluated changes in tax law that occurred during the year and assessed the Company’s interpretation of those changes under the relevant jurisdictional tax law. We also evaluated the Company’s significant assumptions, and the completeness and accuracy of the data, used to determine the amount of tax benefits recognized and tested the accuracy of such calculations. Further, we evaluated the Company’s income tax disclosures included in Note 15 in relation to these matters.


How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit						We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s process for estimating variable consideration, including management’s review process of the chargeback liability related to the estimated lag time and the significant assumptions and data utilized in the calculations. Our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the methodology and assumptions used by management in developing the estimate for the chargeback liability attributed to the lag time. This included testing the completeness and accuracy of the historical underlying data, the calculation of the liability, and performing a sensitivity analysis on management’s estimate of the historical claim acceptance rate to evaluate the impact on the chargeback liability. We tested payments for chargeback claims throughout the year and performed a retrospective analysis of claims paid subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Embecta Corp.

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Embecta Corp’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, ~~because of the effect of the material weakness described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria,~~ Embecta Corp. (the Company) ~~has~~maintained, ~~not~~in ~~maintained~~all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2024, and the related notes. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2024 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated December 11, 2024, which expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Embecta Corp.

Note 1 — Background

Embecta Corp. ("Embecta" or the "Company") is a leading global medical device company focused on providing solutions to improve the health and well-being of people living with diabetes. The Company has a broad portfolio of marketed products, including a variety of pen needles, syringes and safety devices, which are complemented by a proprietary digital application designed to assist people with managing their diabetes. The Company primarily sells products to wholesalers and distributors that sell to retail and institutional channels who in turn sell to patients or use the products to deliver insulin injections to patients.

OnNote ~~April~~2 1,— ~~2022~~Summary ~~(the~~of ~~"Separation~~Accounting Date"), Embecta and Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, BD agreed to spin off its diabetes care business (the "Diabetes Care Business") into Embecta, a new, publicly traded company (the "Separation"). Policies

~~The~~Basis ~~Separation occurred by means~~ of a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") of all of Embecta’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the basis of one share of Embecta common stock, par value $0.01 per share, for every five shares of BD common stock, par value $1.00 per share, held as of the close of business on March 22, 2022, the record date for the distribution. Embecta is now a standalone publicly traded company and, on April 1, 2022, regular-way trading of Embecta common stock commenced on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "EMBC".Presentation

InThese ~~connection~~consolidated ~~with~~financial ~~the~~statements ~~Separation,~~have BDbeen ~~and~~prepared ~~Embecta~~in ~~entered~~accordance ~~into~~with ~~various~~U.S. ~~agreements~~Generally toAccepted ~~provide~~Accounting aPrinciples framework for the relationship between BD and Embecta after the Separation, including, but not limited to, a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, a cannula supply agreement, contract manufacturing agreements, an intellectual property matters agreement, a logistics services agreement, distribution agreements, factoring and receivables agreements, local support and service agreements and other transaction documents(“GAAP”). AsAll ofintercompany ~~October~~transactions ~~31, 2024, all of the factoring~~ and ~~trade~~accounts ~~receivables~~within ~~agreements~~Embecta ~~and the distribution agreements and local support and services agreements~~ have ~~expired~~been ~~and terminated~~eliminated.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

On April 1, 2022, the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and its financial statements are now presented on a consolidated basis. Prior to the Separation on April 1, 2022, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis and were derived from BD's consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to April 1, 2022, are now referred to as "Consolidated Financial Statements", and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-K.

Periods Prior to Separation

Prior to the Separation, the Company was referred to as the Diabetes Care Business. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the Diabetes Care Business were reflected in the combined financial statements on a historical cost basis, as included in the consolidated financial statements of BD, using the historical accounting policies applied by BD. The Consolidated Financial Statements did not purport to reflect what the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity or cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a standalone public company during the periods presented.

The Diabetes Care Business had historically functioned together with the other businesses controlled by BD. Accordingly, the Diabetes Care Business relied on BD’s corporate and other support functions for its business. Therefore, for the period prior to the Separation, certain corporate and shared costs were allocated to the Diabetes Care Business based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification was not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method, including:

i.expenses related to BD support functions, including expenses for facilities, executive oversight, treasury, finance, legal, human resources, shared services, compliance, procurement, information technology and other corporate functions.

ii.certain manufacturing and supply costs incurred by BD, including facility management, distribution, logistics, planning and global quality.

iii.certain costs incurred by BD’s Medication Delivery Solutions organizational unit in relation to selling and marketing activities, and related administrative support functions.

iv.certain costs incurred by BD for activities related to device research and development, as well as medical and regulatory affairs.

v.stock-based compensation expenses (see Note 10).

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. 54

vi.certain compensation expenses maintained on a centralized basis such as certain employee benefit expenses.

Management believes these cost allocations were a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit derived by, the Diabetes Care Business during the period prior to the Separation, though the allocations may not be indicative of the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Diabetes Care Business operated as a standalone public company. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Diabetes Care Business had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by Diabetes Care Business employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as manufacturing, selling and marketing, research and development, information technology and infrastructure.

BD utilized a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its operations. Cash generated by the Diabetes Care Business was routinely transferred into accounts managed by BD’s centralized treasury function and cash disbursements related to operations prior to the Separation were funded as needed by BD. Balances held by the Diabetes Care Business with BD for cash transfers and loans were reflected as Amounts due to Becton, Dickinson and Company prior to the Separation. All other cash and equivalents and related transfers between BD and the Diabetes Care Business were generally held centrally through accounts controlled and maintained by BD and were not specifically identifiable to the Diabetes Care Business. Accordingly, such balances were accounted for through Net Investment from Becton, Dickinson and Company. BD’s third-party debt and related interest expense were not attributed to the Diabetes Care Business because the business was not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings were not specifically identifiable to the business.

For the Diabetes Care Business, transactions with BD affiliates were included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and related balances were reflected as Amounts due to Becton, Dickinson and Company or Amounts due from Becton, Dickinson and Company. Other balances between the Diabetes Care Business and BD were considered to be effectively settled in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the time the transactions were recorded.

As the separate legal entities that made up the Diabetes Care Business were not historically held by a single legal entity, Net Investment from Becton, Dickinson and Company was shown in lieu of stockholders’ equity in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Net Investment from Becton, Dickinson and Company represented BD’s interest in the recorded assets of the Diabetes Care Business and the cumulative investment by BD through the date of the Separation, inclusive of operating results.

For periods prior to the Separation, income tax expense and tax balances in the Consolidated Financial Statements were calculated on a separate tax return basis. The separate tax return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the standalone financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer and a standalone enterprise. Management believes the assumptions supporting the allocation and presentation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable.

The provision for income taxes for the period prior to the Separation was calculated by applying an estimated effective income tax rate for the full year to ordinary income adjusted by the tax impact of discrete items.

As of the Separation Date

Certain assets and liabilities, including patents and unrecognized tax benefits that were included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet prior to the Separation, have been retained by BD post-Separation and therefore were transferred to BD through Net Investment from Becton, Dickinson and Company in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with the Separation, additional pension assets, deferred tax assets, other compensation obligations, and certain other assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company through Net Investment from Becton, Dickinson and Company, and the Company recorded these in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As part of the Separation, Net Investment from Becton, Dickinson and Company was reclassified as Common Stock and Accumulated Deficit.

Periods Post Separation

Following the Separation, certain functions continue to be provided by BD under the Transition Services Agreements or are being performed using Embecta’s own resources or third-party service providers. Additionally, under manufacturing and supply agreements, the Company manufactures certain products for BD, or its applicable affiliate and BD manufactures certain products for the Company. The Company incurred certain costs in its establishment as a standalone public company and expects to incur ongoing additional costs associated with operating as an independent, publicly traded company.

All intercompany transactions and accounts within Embecta have been eliminated.

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. 55

Note 3 — Summary of Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales and considers performance obligations satisfied when the customer obtains control of the product, which is generally upon shipment or delivery, depending on the delivery terms specified in the sales agreement. The Company acts as the principal in its customer arrangements and therefore records revenue on a gross basis. When arrangements include multiple performance obligations, the total transaction price of the contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. The point in time upon which shipment or delivery occurs is the most faithful depiction of when control of the goods transfers to the customer. Variable consideration such as rebates, chargebacks, sales discounts, and sales returns are estimated and treated as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. These estimates are based on contractual terms, historical practices and current trends, and are adjusted as new information becomes available. Revenues exclude any taxes that the Company collects from customers and remits to tax authorities.

Additional disclosures regarding the Company’s accounting for revenue recognition are provided in Note 87.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition. Interest income on Cash and equivalents is recorded as earned, which is further discussed in Note 16.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash not readily available for use in the Company's operating activities and is primarily pledged as collateral for bank guarantees related to certain customer performance guarantees and property leases internationally, which are further discussed in Note 16.

Trade Receivables

The Company grants credit to customers in the normal course of business and the resulting trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s estimate of probable credit losses ~~relating~~expected to be incurred over the life of its trade receivables and is determined based on historical ~~experience~~loss experiences, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts such as country or regional risks that are not captured in the historical loss information, and other specific account data such as customer specific credit risk. Amounts are written off against the allowances for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that a customer account is uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of approximate cost or net realizable value determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes costs incurred to implement cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts within Prepaid expenses and other and Deferred Income Taxes and Other Assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected period that amortization will be recognized. Implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements are capitalized when incurred during the application development phase. Once the implementation of a cloud computing arrangement is complete and ready for its intended use, the Company amortizes the costs over the expected term of the hosting arrangement using the straight-line method to the same income statement line as the associated cloud operating expenses.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.			54

computing arrangement is complete and ready for its intended use, the Company amortizes the costs over the expected term of the hosting arrangement using the straight-line method to the same income statement line as the associated cloud operating expenses.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is principally provided on the straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from 20 to 45 years for buildings, 4 to 13 years for machinery and equipment and 1 to 20 years for leasehold improvements. Depreciation expense was $3438.91 million in ~~2024~~2025, $3134.59 million in ~~2023~~2024, and $31.05 million in ~~2022~~2023.

Property, plant and equipment are periodically reviewed when impairment indicators are present to assess recoverability or a decision has been made to abandon efforts associated with construction in progress assets. Recoverability is determined by comparing the carrying values of the assets or asset groups to the undiscounted cash flows to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of such assets or asset groups. If the asset’s or asset group’s carrying value exceeds such undiscounted cash flows, the assets or asset groups are not recoverable and an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds its calculated fair value.

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. 56

Capitalized Interest

The interest cost on capital projects is capitalized and included in the cost of the project. Capitalization commences with the first expenditure for the project and continues until the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on project expenditures using the weighted average cost of the Company's outstanding borrowings. For the fiscal years ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 the Company capitalized $32.78 million, $43.67 million and $54.26 million of interest expense, respectively, into Property, Plant and Equipment, Net. For the fiscal ~~year~~years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company capitalized $0.1 million and $0.9 million of interest expense into Deferred Income Taxes and Other Assets, respectively. ~~Interest~~No interest expense was capitalized into Deferred Income Taxes and Other Assets during the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2024 is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements~~2025.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in Selling and administrative expense. The Company recorded advertising costs of $916.02 million, $159.50 million, and $1115.65 million in ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024, and ~~2022~~2023, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired. The Company has one reporting unit. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment as of July 1 each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative fair value test is performed. If carrying value is greater than fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company completed the annual goodwill impairment test as of July 1, ~~2024~~2025 and concluded that no impairment to goodwill was necessary as the fair value of the Company's one reporting unit was significantly in excess of the carrying value.

No goodwill impairments were identified during the fiscal years ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024, or ~~2022~~2023. As of September 30, ~~and~~2025 there are no accumulated impairment losses ~~are~~related ~~recorded~~to goodwill.

Amortized intangible assets primarily consist of patents and customer relationships. Patents are generally amortized over 20 years using the straight-line method. Customer relationship assets are generally amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 15 years, using the straight-line method. Other intangibles with finite useful lives are amortized over periods principally ranging from 1 to 40 years, using the straight-line method. Finite-lived intangible assets are periodically reviewed when impairment indicators are present to assess recoverability from future operations using undiscounted cash flows. The carrying values of these finite-lived assets are compared to the undiscounted cash flows they are expected to generate and an impairment loss is recognized in operating results to the extent any finite-lived intangible asset’s carrying value exceeds its calculated fair value.

Foreign Currency and Derivative Financial Instruments

Assets and liabilities denominated in their functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The United States dollar results that arise from such translation are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to manage market risks associated with fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to protect against market risks arising in the normal course of business.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.			55

At the end of the reporting period, foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currencies of the reporting entities at current market rates. The change in value from this remeasurement is reported as a foreign exchange gain or loss for that period in Other income (expense), net.

The Company recorded transactional foreign exchange ~~losses~~gains of $41.4 2 million ~~during~~and ~~the~~losses ~~fiscal~~of ~~year ended September 30, 2024~~$4.4 ~~For~~million during the fiscal years ended September 30, ~~2023~~2025 and ~~2022~~2024, ~~transactional~~respectively. Transactional foreign exchange impacts were not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company considers its shipping and handling costs to be contract fulfillment costs and records them within selling and administrative expense. Shipping and handling costs were $4140.38 million, $3641.93 million, and $2736.49 million in ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024, and ~~2022~~2023, respectively.

Contingencies

The Company establishes accruals for future losses which are both probable and can be reasonably estimated (and in the case of environmental matters, without considering possible third-party recoveries). Additional disclosures regarding the Company’s accounting for contingencies are provided in Note 76.

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. 57

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to the Separation, certain of the Company’s employees historically participated in BD’s stock-based compensation plans. Stock-based compensation expense was either allocated to the Company based on a proportionate cost allocation method or recorded based on specific identification. Effective April 1, 2022, the Company established the 2022 Employee and Director Equity Based Compensation Plan, as amended on February 7, 2024 (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the grant of various types of awards, including restricted stock unit ("RSU") awards, stock appreciation rights, stock options, performance-based awards and cash awards. Under the Plan, the exercise price of awards, if any, is set on the grant date and generally may not be less than the fair market value per share on that date. The Company measures stock-based compensation for equity awards at fair value on the date of grant and records stock-based compensation as a charge to earnings net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards. For awards that ultimately settle in cash, we treat them as liability awards and mark the award to market each reporting period and recognize any adjustment in our Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated forfeiture rate is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the change (see Note 109).

Benefit Plans

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in the tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, the Company evaluates factors such as prior earnings history, expected future earnings, carryback and carryforward periods, and tax strategies that could potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

While the Company believes it has identified all reasonable exposures and the reserve it has established is appropriate under the circumstances, it is possible that additional exposures exist and that exposures may be settled at amounts ~~different than the amounts reserved. It is also possible that changes in facts and circumstances could cause the Company to either materially increase or reduce the carrying amount of its tax reserve.~~

~~The~~Dollar ~~Tax~~amounts ~~Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and introduced an additional United States tax on the earnings of non-United States subsidiaries which~~ are ~~referred~~in tomillions asexcept ~~Global~~per ~~Intangible~~share ~~Low~~amounts ~~Taxed~~or ~~Income (“GILTI”).

Additional disclosures regarding the Company's accounting for income taxes are provided in Note 15.

Segment Data

The Company operates and reports its financial information as one segment. In making this determination, the Company (i) determines its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), (ii) identifies and analyzes potential business components, (iii) identifies its operating segments and (iv) determines whether there are multiple operating segments requiring presentation as reportable segments. The Company’s decision to report as one segment is based upon the following: (1) its internal organizational structure; (2) the manner in which its operations are managed; and (3) the criteria used by the Company’s ~~President~~Chief Executive Officer, its CODM, to evaluate performance of the Company’s business and allocate resources and capital.

Fair Value Measurements

A fair value hierarchy is applied to prioritize inputs used in measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are detailed below. Additional disclosures regarding the Company’s fair value measurements are provided in Note 16.

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology which represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology which include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology which are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Leases

The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. If a lease is identified in an arrangement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and liability in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and determines whether the lease should be classified as a finance or operating lease. The Company does not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with lease terms of less than 12 months.

A lease qualifies as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met at the inception of the lease: (i) there is a transfer of ownership of the leased asset to Embecta by the end of the lease term, (ii) the Company holds an option to purchase the leased asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the leased asset, (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, or (v) the nature of the leased asset is specialized to the point that it is expected to provide the lessor no alternative use at the end of the lease term. All other leases are recorded as operating leases.

Finance and operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease payments are expensed using the straight-line method as an operating expense over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized to depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the shorter of the useful life of the related asset or the lease term. Finance lease payments are bifurcated into (i) a portion that is recorded as imputed interest expense and (ii) a portion that reduces the finance liability associated with the lease.

For lease arrangements that are recognized onin the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, the right-of-use asset and lease liability is initially measured at the commencement date based upon the present value of the lease payments due under the lease. These payments represent the combination of the fixed lease and fixed non-lease components that are due under the arrangement. Variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. If a lease includes an option to extend or terminate the lease, the Company reflects the option in the lease term if it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option.

Finance leases are recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment, Net, Current finance lease liabilities, and Non Current Finance Lease Liabilities and operating leases are recorded in Deferred Income Taxes and Other Assets, Accrued expenses, and Deferred Income Taxes and Other Liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.			57

Sales and Transfers of Financial Instruments

The Company may discount and sell accounts receivables during the normal course of business. These receivables which are sold to a third party without recourse, are excluded from the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s continuing involvement is limited to servicing the receivables. The cash proceeds received from such sales are included in operating cash flows. The expenses associated with the sale of receivables are recorded within Other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Additional disclosures regarding the Company's accounting for the sales of financial instruments are provided in Note 15.

Restructuring Costs

The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. In accordance with existing benefit arrangements, future employee termination costs to be incurred in conjunction with involuntary separations are accrued when such separations are probable and estimable. When accruing these costs, the Company will recognize the amount that is the best estimate. Costs for one-time termination benefits are recognized at the date the employee is notified, unless the employee is required to render services beyond a minimum retention period, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the service period. Liabilities for other costs associated with a restructuring activity are measured at fair value and are recognized when the liability is incurred. Other costs primarily consist of contract termination fees and other costs related to restructuring activities and are expensed when incurred. In connection with exit and disposal activities, the Company also assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets employed in the business. Additional disclosures regarding the Company’s accounting for restructuring costs are provided in Note 4.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates or assumptions affect reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, ~~including~~depreciable and amortizable lives, sales returns and allowances, rebate accruals, restructuring costs, inventory reserves and taxes on income as reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

~~Pursuant~~Note to3 ~~the~~— ~~Separation,~~Third BDParty ~~ceased to be a related party to Embecta and accordingly, no related party transactions or balances are reported subsequent to April 1, 2022.~~Arrangements

InOn ~~connection~~April ~~with~~1, 2022 (the "Separation Date"), ~~the~~Embecta and Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement,"). ~~which~~The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains provisions that, among other things, relate to (i) assets, liabilities and contracts to be transferred, assumed and assigned to each of Embecta and BD (including certain deferred assets and liabilities) as part of the Separation, (ii) cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Embecta's business with Embecta and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of BD’s remaining businesses with BD, (iii) procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters, (iv) the allocation among Embecta and BD of rights and obligations under existing insurance policies with respect to occurrences prior to completion of the Separation, as well as the right to proceeds and the obligation to incur certain deductibles under certain insurance policies, and (v) procedures governing Embecta’s and BD’s obligations and allocations of liabilities with respect to ongoing litigation matters that may implicate each of BD’s business and Embecta’s business.

Agreements that Embecta entered into with BD that govern aspects of Embecta's relationship with BD following the Separation include, but are not limited to:

•Transition Services Agreements ("TSA") and Logistics Services Agreement ("LSA") - Pursuant to the TSA, as amended, and the related LSA, as amended, Embecta and BD and their respective affiliates provide each other, on an interim, transitional basis, various services, including, but not limited to, information technology, ~~human resources,~~ procurement, quality and regulatory affairs, medical affairs, tax and treasury services, distribution logistics, and shared services infrastructure support for order-to-cash, source-to-pay, and record-to-report (collectively, the “Interim Business Continuity Processes”). The agreed-upon charges for such services ~~are~~were generally intended to allow the servicing party to charge a price comprised of out-of-pocket costs and expenses and a predetermined profit in the form of a mark-up of such out-of-pocket costs and expenses. ~~Such~~Specifically ~~services~~for ~~provided~~the ~~pursuant~~LSA, toEmbecta ~~the~~paid ~~TSA~~BD ~~were~~(i) toreimbursable ~~terminate~~costs, noincluding ~~later~~all ~~than~~shipping ~~April~~costs, 1selling costs, ~~2024~~general administration costs, 24costs ~~months~~of ~~following~~goods, ~~the~~research ~~Separation.~~and Ondevelopment ~~March~~services 28costs, ~~2024,~~and BDother ~~granted~~income aand ~~limited~~expenses ~~extension~~related ~~until~~solely ~~November~~to 1the diabetes care business, ~~2024~~that ofwere ~~certain~~incurred ~~services~~by ~~under~~BD ~~the~~directly, ~~TSA~~as ~~and~~allocated ~~the~~costs ~~Logistics~~or ~~Services~~as ~~Agreement~~costs payable to a third party and (~~“LSA”~~ii) in a ~~limited~~monthly ~~set~~administrative fee of ~~markets~~1.0% of net revenue (~~the~~which ~~"Extension"~~increased to 1.25% of net revenue after January 1, 2024). Such services provided pursuant to ~~support~~the TSA and the ~~Interim~~LSA ~~Business~~have ~~Continuity~~terminated ~~Processes~~and expired.

•Trade Receivables Factoring Agreements - Embecta and BD entered into trade receivables factoring agreements (the "Factoring Agreements"), under which Embecta transferred certain net trade receivable assets to BD, and paid a service fee calculated as 0.1% of annual revenues related to countries subject to the Factoring Agreements in exchange for the services provided by BD. Per the terms of the Factoring Agreements, the Company and its relevant subsidiaries sold receivables to the corresponding BD subsidiary in the same jurisdiction and such BD subsidiary collected the receivables from Company's customers. The BD subsidiary assumed the credit risk in respect of the receivables, and accordingly deducted a factoring fee from the purchase price of such receivables. Accordingly, Embecta accounted for the transfer as sales of trade receivables by recognizing an increase to Cash and equivalents and a decrease to Trade Receivables, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when proceeds from the transactions are received. The transfers are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as operating activities and the related service fee is presented as a component of Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Trade Receivables Factoring Agreements have terminated and expired as a result of the Company's implementation and onboarding of certain systems and services, including, but not limited to, information technology, procurement, quality and regulatory affairs, medical affairs, tax and treasury services, distribution logistics, and shared services infrastructure support for order-to-cash, source-to-pay, and record-to-report, which, for clarity, includes enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems (“Business Continuity Processes”).

~~Dollar~~•Distribution ~~amounts~~Agreements - Embecta and BD entered into distribution agreements for certain territories, principally in the Asia Pacific Region and Latin America, whereby a subsidiary of BD was appointed as a distributor of Embecta or its relevant subsidiaries to support certain commercial operations of the diabetes care business on a transitional basis in these regions for a maximum of two years. The distribution agreements each continued until either (1) certain governmental approvals needed to distribute products in the defined territory are obtained and order-to-cash processes and other services of the Company for such territory are migrated to an alternative commercial arrangement between the parties or (2) the applicable services are transitioned to a third-party distributor or independently performed by Embecta, but in ~~millions~~any event no longer than the maximum term of two years, except ~~per~~certain ~~share~~such ~~amounts~~agreements ormay asbe ~~otherwise~~extended ~~specified~~in connection with the Extension. 60Embecta paid BD a return of 1.5% to 2.0% of net revenue for each territory. As it pertains to the Distribution Agreements noted above, Embecta determined it was the principal under these arrangements and was entitled to all the benefits, and was liable for all the risks, related to the inventory and receivables. Additionally, Embecta had latitude in pricing, had the ability to direct BD regarding decisions over inventory, and was responsible for all credit and collections

~~subsidiary~~Dollar ~~collected~~amounts the receivables from Company's customers. The BD subsidiary assumed the credit risk in respect of the receivables, and accordingly deducted a factoring fee from the purchase price of such receivables.

•Logistics Services Agreement - Embecta and BD entered into the LSA, as amended, whereby BD provides Embecta with certain order-to-cash and logistics services to support certain commercial operations for a maximum term of two years, which BD agreed to extend pursuant to the Extension. Embecta pays BD (i) reimbursable costs, including all shipping costs, selling costs, general administration costs, costs of goods, research and development services costs, and other income and expenses related solely to the diabetes care business, that are incurred by BD directly, as allocated costs or as costs payable to a third party and (ii) a monthly administrative fee of 1.0% of net revenue (which increased to 1.25% of net revenue after January 1, 2024).

•Other agreements that Embecta entered into with BD include, but are not limited to, the employee matters agreement ("EMA"), an intellectual property matters agreement, local support services agreements, certain other manufacturing arrangements and a process services agreement and lease agreement for a manufacturing facility located in Holdrege, Nebraska. See Note 18 for more information on the lease agreement for Holdrege.

Note 4 — Business Restructuring Charges

On November 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue internal and external investment in the research and development of the Company's patch pump program. As a result, the Company incurred organizational restructuring plan (the "Patch Pump Restructuring Plan") costs of $34.5 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. This Patch Pump Restructuring Plan is substantially complete as of September 30, 2025. The Company plans to refocus its investment on its core business while looking to optimize free cash flow and strengthen its balance sheet by paying down debt.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company initiated a restructuring plan (the "2025 Restructuring Plan") to streamline the organization and optimize resources. As a result, the Company incurred organizational restructuring plan costs of $3.5 million during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. The 2025 Restructuring Plan is substantially complete as of September 30, 2025.

The following table summarizes the charges related to the restructuring programs by type of cost for the period ended September 30, 2025:


	Employee Termination		Non-Employee Related		Total
Cost of products sold	$	0.5	$	6.3	$	6.8

Other operating expenses	14.1		5.0		19.1
	$	22.0	$	16.0	$	38.0

Employee termination costs are associated with actual headcount reductions, including involuntary headcount reductions which were probable and could be reasonably estimated.

Non-employee related costs are associated with termination of contracts and long-lived asset impairments are discussed further in Note 16 and Note 17.

The following table summarizes the charges and spending relating to restructuring program activities for the period ended September 30, 2025:

Related Party Senior Secured Notes

On March 31, 2022, Embecta issued $200.0 million of senior secured notes to BD (the "Related Party Notes"). The Related Party Notes issued to BD were not issued for cash and instead were subject to a debt-for-debt exchange which occurred on April 1, 2022. As of April 1, 2022 the Related Party Notes were reclassified to Long-Term Debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Related Party Notes are third party debt for periods post Separation. Refer to Note 13 for further information.

Note 5 — Collaboration Agreement

In March 2023, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with a third-party to develop and commercialize an interoperable automated glycemic controller ("iAGC") to complement the Company's insulin patch pump currently in development. The Company believes that both parties are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and exposed to certain risks and rewards depending on commercial success. The transaction included an upfront payment

Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified. 63

of $2.5 million for project costs, which was expensed to Research and development expense during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

On November 22, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue internal and external investment in the research and development of the Company's patch pump program. The Company will refocus its research and development strategy on its core business. For additional information related to this matter, refer to Note 21.

Note 6 — Other Operating Expenses

In connection with the Separation, the Company incurred separation and stand-up costs of approximately $110.8 million, $92.7 million, and $44.7 million during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The costs incurred primarily consist of costs associated with accounting, auditing, legal services, marketing, supply chain, employee retention, the implementation of the Company's new ERP system, and certain other costs to establish certain Business Continuity Processes and stand-alone functions to assist with the transition to being a stand-alone entity.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $6.3 million of costs associated with the amortization of cloud computing arrangements. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no amortization of implementation costs associated with cloud computing arrangements due to the timing of when these projects were placed into service.

The Company recorded approximately $7.4 million and $5.6 million of severance costs related to the optimization of certain business functions during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These costs were primarily recorded in the U.S. and liabilities for costs associated with these activities were not material to any period presented. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 severance costs were not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 7 — Contingencies

The Company is subject to potential liabilities under government regulations and various claims and legal actions that are pending or may be asserted from time-to-time. These matters arise in the ordinary course and conduct of the Company’s business and include, for example, commercial, product liability, breach of contract and tort, intellectual property, product liability, environmental, securities and employment matters. The Company intends to continue to defend itself vigorously in such matters and when warranted, take legal action against others. Furthermore, the Company regularly assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its financial statements.

An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s Financial Statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on the Company’s assessment, it has adequately accrued an amount for contingent liabilities currently in existence. The Company does not accrue amounts for liabilities that it does not believe are probable. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and unfavorable resolutions could occur. As a result, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgment about future events. The amount of ultimate loss may exceed the Company’s current accruals, and it is possible that its cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies.

The Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings at September 30, ~~2024~~2025 or September 30, ~~2023~~2024, nor is it a party to any material legal proceedings as of the date of issuance of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company sells syringes, pen needles and other products used in the management of diabetes which are primarily sold to wholesalers and distributors that sell to retail and institutional channels who in turn sell to patients or use the products to deliver insulin injections to patients. End-users of the Company’s products include healthcare institutions, physicians, life science researchers, clinical laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry, and the general public.

Measurement of Revenues

Payment terms extended to the Company’s customers are based upon commercially reasonable terms for the markets in which the Company’s products are sold. Because the Company generally expects to receive payment within one year or less from when control of a product is transferred to the customer, the Company does not generally adjust its revenues for the effects of a financing component. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of its trade receivables. Such estimated credit losses are determined based on historical loss experiences, customer specific credit risk, and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information,

such as country or regional risks that are not captured in the historical loss information. Amounts are written off against the allowances for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that a customer account is uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables is not material to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s gross revenues are subject to a variety of gross-to-net deductions which are recorded in the same period that the underlying revenues are recognized. Such variable consideration includes rebates, chargebacks, sales discounts, and sales returns. Because these deductions represent estimates of the related obligations, judgment is required when determining the impact of these revenue deductions on gross revenues for a reporting period. Rebates provided by the Company are based upon prices determined under the Company’s agreements primarily with its end-user customers. Additional factors considered in the estimate of the Company’s variable consideration liability include the quantification of inventory that is either in stock at or in transit to the Company’s distributors, as well as the estimated lag time between the sale of product and the payment of corresponding variable consideration.

The Company’s liability attributed to variable consideration at September 30, ~~2024~~2025 and September 30, ~~2023~~2024 was $~~149~~113.67 million and $36149.46 million, respectively. Sales deductions recorded as a reduction of gross revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023 were $~~525~~578.93 million, $~~411~~525.19 million, and $~~336~~411.41 million respectively.

Note 109 — Stock-Based Compensation

~~Periods~~The ~~Prior~~Company grants stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), time-vested restricted stock units ("TVUs"), performance based restricted stock units ("PSUs") and cash awards pursuant to ~~Separation~~the 2022 Employee and Director Equity Based Compensation Plan ("the Plan"). A total of 10,189,000 shares of common stock are authorized under the Plan. Under the Plan, the exercise price of awards, if any, is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share on that date. Generally SARs have a term of ten years and a three or four year vesting period, subject to limited exceptions.

Prior to the Separation, certain of the Company's employees participated in stock-based compensation plans sponsored by BD. Under these plans BD granted time-vested restricted stock units ("TVUs"), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), and performance share units ("PSUs") to certain management level employees.

Prior to the Separation on April 1, 2022, share-based compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income is representative of those employees who were dedicated to the Diabetes Care Business. Additionally, share-based compensation expense was allocated to the Diabetes Care Business for BD Corporate and Medical Segment employees who were not dedicated solely to the Diabetes Care Business. This stock-based compensation expense was allocated using a proportional cost allocation method and is included as a component of corporate allocations for periods prior to the Separation. The amounts presented for the periods prior to the Separation are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the costs that the Company would have incurred as an independent company.

As of Separation Date and Periods Post Separation

In connection with the Separation, and in accordance with the EMA, Embecta's employees with outstanding former BD share-based awards received replacement share-based awards under the Plan. The ratio used to convert the BD share-based awards was designed to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately prior to Separation. As a result of the award modification, Embecta will incur $6.1 million of incremental stock-based compensation expense. Of this amount, $1.2 million, $1.8 million and $2.3 million was recognized during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. $0.8 million will be recognized at a future date over the awards' remaining vesting period.

Effective April 1, 2022, Embecta established the Plan, as amended on February 7, 2024. A total of 10,189,000 shares of common stock are authorized under the Plan. The Plan provides for the grant of various types of awards including RSU awards, SARs, stock options, performance-based awards, and other stock-based awards. Under the Plan, the exercise price of awards, if any, is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share on that date. Generally SARs have a term of ten years and a three or four year vesting period, subject to limited exceptions.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants. The cumulative effect on current and prior periods of a change in the estimated forfeiture rate is recognized as compensation cost in earnings in the period of the change.

Performance Based Restricted Stock Units

During the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, Embecta awarded ~~553~~530,~~235~~014 RSUs in the form of PSUs to certain executive officers and employees which cliff vest after three years, subject to continued employment of the recipients and the achievement of certain performance metric targets. The Company has identified certain performance metrics associated with these awards and certain targets ~~that~~ will be fully established at a future date. The Company has determined that the service inception date precedes the grant date for these awards as (a) the awards were authorized prior to establishing an accounting grant date, (b) the recipients began providing services prior to the grant date, and (c) there are performance conditions that, if not met by the accounting grant date, will result in the forfeiture of the awards. As the service inception date precedes the accounting grant date, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for each separately-vesting tranche over the requisite service period based on the fair value at each reporting date. PSUs cliff vest on the third anniversary after grant date. The related stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period or is based on retirement eligibility. The fair value of all PSUs is based on the market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

These awards accumulate dividend equivalents, which are provided as additional units and are subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying grant.

Stock Appreciation Rights

SARs represent the right to receive, upon exercise, shares of common stock having a value equal to the difference between the market price of common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price on the date of grant. SARs generally vest over a period of three to four years and have a term of ten years. The fair value of awards are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) model. The BSM assumptions include expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, volatility, and term of the SARs.

InA ~~connection~~summary ~~with the SARs granted during 2022, the Company used the BSM to determine the fair value~~ of ~~the~~ SARs outstanding as of ~~the~~September ~~grant date. In applying this model~~30, ~~the~~2025 ~~Company uses both historical data~~ and ~~current~~changes ~~market~~during ~~data to estimate~~ the ~~fair~~fiscal ~~value~~year ofthen ~~its~~ended ~~SARs. The expected dividend yield~~ is ~~based~~as on forecasted patterns of dividend payments. The risk-free interest rate is based on the rate at grant date of zero-coupon United States Treasury Notes with a term equal to the expected term of the SAR. Expected volatility is estimated using historical volatility. Due to the lack of trading history of Embecta's stock at the time of valuation efforts, the historical component of expected volatility is based on historical monthly price changes of the peer group within the industry. BD's historical data for Embecta employees was used to estimate equity award exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. The expected term represents the amount of time that SARs granted are expected to be outstanding based on historical and forecasted exercise behavior. The weighted average fair value of SARs was determined using the following assumptionsfollows:

Note 12 — Long-Term Debt

5.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2030

On February 10, 2022 Embecta issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior secured notes due February 15, 2030 (the “5.00% Notes”). Interest payments on the 5.00% Notes are due semi-annually in February and August until maturity.

6.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2030

On March 31, 2022, Embecta issued $200.0 million of 6.75% Related Party Notes at a discount of $3.0 million. The Related Party Notes issued to BD were not issued for cash and instead were subject to a debt-for-debt exchange which occurred on April 1, 2022. ~~As such, the issuance of the Related Party Notes is a non-cash financing activity and is not presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.~~

On April 1, 2022, BD transferred the Related Party Notes with a notional value of $200.0 million issued by Embecta to Morgan Stanley in exchange for certain notes of BD that were purchased by Morgan Stanley pursuant to a tender offer. Morgan Stanley then sold the senior secured notes to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of April 1, 2022, the 6.75% senior secured notes (the "6.75% Notes") became third party debt of Embecta. Interest payments on the 6.75% Notes are due semi-annually in February and August until maturity. The 6.75% Notes will mature on February 15, 2030.

Credit Agreement

On March 31, 2022, Embecta entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for:

•a Term Loan B Facility (the "Term Loan") in the amount of $950.0 million, with a seven-year term that matures in March 2029. The interest rate is 300 basis points over the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), with a 0.50% SOFR floor. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.50%. Principal and interest payments on the Term Loan commenced on June 30, 2022. Such quarterly principal payments are calculated as 0.25% of the initial principal amount, with the remaining balance payable upon maturity. Per the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company may from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty subject to certain exceptions.

•a Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $500.0 million, with a five-year term that matures in 2027. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest, at Embecta’s option, at an annual rate equal to (a) in the case of loans denominated in United States dollars (i) the SOFR or (ii) the alternate base rate or (b) in the case of loans denominated in Euros, the EURIBOR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin specified in the credit agreement. A commitment fee applies to the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, equal to 0.25% per annum. As of September 30, ~~2024~~2025, no amount has been drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement and the indentures for Embecta's outstanding 5.00% Notes and 6.75% Notes contain customary financial covenants, including a total net leverage ratio covenant, which measures the ratio of (i) consolidated total net debt to (ii) consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and subject to other adjustments, must meet certain defined limits which are tested on a quarterly basis in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the 5.00% Notes and 6.75% Notes. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains covenants that will limit, among other things, Embecta’s ability to prepay, redeem or repurchase its subordinated and junior lien debt, incur additional debt, make acquisitions, merge with other entities, pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity interests, and create or become subject to liens. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of such covenants. The credit agreement and the senior secured notes are secured by substantially all assets of Embecta and each subsidiary guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

PSUs vest based upon achievement of performance targets and are excluded from the diluted shares outstanding unless the performance targets have been met as of the end of the applicable reporting period regardless of whether such performance targets are probable of achievement.

~~The computation of earnings per diluted share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards, when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive.~~ As of September 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, 2.83 million, ~~of dilutive share equivalents issuable under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the diluted shares outstanding calculation because the result would have been antidilutive~~2. ~~As of both September 30~~8 million, ~~2023~~ and ~~September 30, 2022,~~ 1.8 million of dilutive share equivalents issuable under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the diluted shares outstanding calculation because the result would have been antidilutive.

The Company's income tax provision for the first half of fiscal 2022 was prepared using a separate return method. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the standalone financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer and a standalone enterprise. The Company believes the assumptions supporting the allocation and presentation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable.

For a portion of fiscal year 2022, the Company’s domestic and foreign operations were included in BD’s domestic consolidated and foreign tax returns, and payments to all tax authorities were made by BD on the Company’s behalf. The Company filed its own foreign tax return and made its own foreign tax payments in Ireland. The Company’s current tax liabilities computed under the separate return method were considered to be effectively settled in the consolidated financial statements at the time the transaction was recorded, with the offset recorded against Net parent investment.

The increase in the Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2025 as compared to fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to the absence of 2024 tax benefits from the recognition of deferred tax assets related to tax reform in Switzerland, the absence of 2024 tax benefits from the reduction of withholding tax accruals on unremitted foreign earnings resulting from the expiration of certain stock ownership holding period requirements, fewer nontaxable items of income and the correlative tax impacts of these changes on higher overall earnings in 2025; partially offset by approximately $5.1 million of tax benefits from various tax return true ups for filings made during 2025 which are reflected above in the Other, net category.


Dollar amounts are in millions except per share amounts or as otherwise specified.			70

The decrease in the Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2024 as compared to fiscal year 2023 was primarily due to a reduction in withholding taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries related to the expiration of a two-year stock holding period requirement in Switzerland, the recognition of deferred tax assets from Switzerland tax reform, changes in the geographical mix of earnings and overall lower pre-tax earnings; partially offset by an increase in uncertain tax positions and non-deductible expenses.

Cash and equivalents includes cash held in money market funds and other cash equivalents. All cash and equivalents are Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Interest income on Cash and equivalents was $6.0 million, $12.0 million, and $9.4 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and is included as a component of Interest expense, net. ~~For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, interest income was not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.~~ Restricted cash consists of cash not readily available for use in the Company's operating activities. The Company's restricted cash balance is primarily pledged as collateral for bank guarantees related to certain customer performance guarantees and property leases internationally.

Foreign Currency Risks and Related Strategies

The Company has foreign currency exposures throughout Europe, Asia, Canada, and Latin America. Transactional currency exposures that arise from entering into transactions, generally on an intercompany basis, in non-hyperinflationary countries that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are mitigated primarily through the use of forward contracts.

The notional amounts of the Company’s foreign currency-related derivative instruments were as follows:

Gains and losses recognized to date on these instruments were not material to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Non-financial assets, including property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets, are measured at fair value when there are indicators of impairment and these assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. These measurements of fair value are generally based upon Level 3 inputs, including values estimated using the income approach.

In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded non-cash asset impairment charges of $10.6 million to write down the carrying value of certain property and equipment as a result of the Company's plan to discontinue the patch pump program. $6.3 million was recorded to Cost of products sold and $4.3 million was recorded to Research and development expense. The amount recognized was recorded to adjust the carrying amount of assets to the assets' fair values, which were estimated, based upon a market participant's perspective, using Level 3 measurements, including values estimated using the income approach.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded impairment charges of $2.5 million related to the abandonment of certain manufacturing equipment in China that is no longer in use that was inherited as part of the Separation from BD. These assets were previously included as a component of Machinery, equipment and fixtures within Property, Plant and Equipment. The impairment charges are recognized within Impairment expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 18 — Leases

Finance Lease

In conjunction with the Separation, we entered into a lease agreement with BD pursuant to which the Company would lease approximately 278,000 square feet of manufacturing space and equipment at BD's manufacturing facility in Holdrege, Nebraska for an initial term of ten years and an option for the Company to extend the lease term for an additional period of up to five years. This lease is classified as a finance lease.

Operating Leases

The Company's operating leases primarily relate to its real estate leases that are not classified as finance leases. The Company entered into a real estate lease for a new Corporate Headquarters located in Parsippany, NJ which commenced during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 for an initial term of ten years. The Company has options to extend the lease for additional period of six years and to extend for a subsequent additional period of four years, after the expiration of the first extension period.

Note 19 — Benefit Plans

For the period prior to the Separation, the Consolidated Statements~~ of ~~Income~~such ~~include expense allocations for these benefits, which were determined using a proportional allocation method~~plans. ~~Total~~The ~~benefit plan expense allocated to the~~ Company ~~for~~uses ~~the fiscal year ended~~ September 30, ~~2022~~as ~~was $3.6 million.

The Company's Swiss Plan is a government-mandated retirement account balance plan. Companies within the Swiss regulatory environment have substantial freedom in setting their pension plan design (e.g. with regards to the salary covered, level of retirement benefits, or overall benefit design) provided the benefits are always at least equal to the minimum requirements as defined by law. Most employers provide higher benefits than those required by law, which is the case for Embecta. The minimum level of retirement benefit is expressed by a cash balance formula with age-related contribution rates (or "retirement credits") based on an insured salary defined by law, and a minimum required interest crediting rate which is set by the government (1.25% in 2024, and 1.00% in 2023 and 2022). The sum of the Company's contributions should be at least equal to the sum of employee contributions. Contributions to the Swiss Plan are invested into a diversified fund managed by an investment fiduciary. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Swiss plan had an unfunded net pension obligation of $4.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and plan assets that totaled $18.4 million, and $14.1 million, respectively. Net periodic benefit cost was not material to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income for any period presented.

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company has various defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all employees in the United States, Ireland, and Japan. The Company matches a certain percentage of each employee’s contributions as per the provisions of the plans. Total employer contributions by the Company to the plans were $1514.13 million, $1415.1 million and $814.91 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, ~~2024~~2025, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022~~2023, respectively.

Between April 1, 2022 and September 30, 2022, BD remained the defined benefit pension plan sponsor for certain Embecta employees in Ireland. The Company accounts for this plan as though it was a participant in a multi-employer plan with other businesses of BD. The amount of contributions to BD for this plan are included in the amounts noted above. At the Separation Date, Embecta effectuated an Embecta sponsored defined contribution pension plan for certain other employees in Ireland. On October 1, 2022, any Embecta employees who remained participating in the BD defined benefit pension plan ceased participating and these employees began participating in an Embecta sponsored defined contribution pension plan that was effectuated at the Separation Date.

Deferred Compensation Plan

OnThe ~~the date of the Separation, the~~ Company ~~established~~has a Deferred Compensation Plan in which certain directors and employees of the Company may defer the payment and taxation of up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation. A participant's deferrals are “invested” at the direction of the employee in a hypothetical portfolio of investments which are tracked by an administrator. The amounts accrued under this plan were $1012.01 million and $610.10 million as of September 30, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively.

The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $10 million - $15 million of additional pre-tax non-cash charges related to asset impairments and asset write-offs. These preliminary estimates may be revised following the completion of the ongoing analysis of the expected additional pre-tax non-cash charges associated with the implementation of the Restructuring Plan.

Performance-Based and Time-Vested Restricted Stock Units

In November 2024 and pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted approximately 1.4 million TVUs in connection with the Company's annual grant which vest on a graded basis over a period of three years, subject to continuous service to the Company by the employee.

The Company also awarded approximately 0.5 million PSUs to certain executive officers and employees in connection with the Company's annual grant which vest after three years, subject to continued employment of the recipients and the achievement of certain performance metric targets. The Company has identified certain performance metrics and targets that will be fully established at a future date. The Company has determined that the service inception date precedes the grant date for these awards as (a) the awards were authorized prior to establishing an accounting grant date, (b) the recipients began providing services prior to the grant date, and (c) there are performance conditions that, if not met by the accounting grant date, will result in the forfeiture of the awards.
