Forward guidance

Thermo Fisher Scientific did not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because they are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort items such as the timing and amount of future restructuring actions and acquisition-related charges as well as gains or losses from sales of real estate and businesses, the early retirement of debt and the outcome of legal proceedings.
