Matt McGrew · CFO
How to check this claim
Look at: China VBP (volume-based procurement) revenue headwind for Danaher's diagnostics segment, next fiscal year
It came true if: Management-disclosed or implied VBP headwind between $75 million and $100 million
Where: Management commentary on earnings calls (Danaher diagnostics segment discussion) during the following fiscal year
In context
“you just talked about as you move past the headwind, but you're still taking a conservative view. So just expand on what you're seeing in VBP. I think you're lapping the comps as you get into the fourth quarter, but there's concern of another wave down the road, maybe oncology and thyroid was called out by another player in the market. Just sort of how derisked is China diagnostics from a VBP perspective for 2022? Matt McGrew: Yes, Mike. I mean, I think we sort of have seen -- like you said, we are getting to the other side of the wave here that started in Q4 with the first reimbursement in China. So we will anniversary that. I think as we sort of have dealt with what has come VBP, the reimbursements, the various policy sort of changes during the year, I think we're pretty well dialed in. I mean I would say that for next year, our assumption is that we probably have maybe $75 million to $100 million of headwind here, which on a Danaher level is fairly modest and manageable. And so I think that's kind of where we were or where we are from a planning perspective. And I think that's a pretty good place to be given what we know today and have got visibility to some of the things that are coming and certainly have visibility to everything has already been announced. Operator: We'll take our next question from Tycho Peterson with Jefferies. Tycho Peterson: I want to probe on the biotech comments here a little bit. Just maybe talk about some of the puts and takes in the guide for the fourth quarter. And then I guess, what does it take for you to call an equipment recovery here? Can you just maybe talk about the order book, how the funnel is building and the odds that you could actually see an equipment pick up next year on the biotech side? Matt McGrew: Yes, Tycho,”
