Dear Shareholders
In 2024, we continued to execute our strategy to drive long-term
durable growth and to fuel progress across our business. As a result,
we are well positioned to deliver value for our customers and the
patients they serve.

We drove organic growth, increasing our R&D
to revenue ratio, and launching new products
into high-growth markets.
We grew adjusted margins and increased
adjusted operating income by leveraging
our diversified portfolio and global footprint.
We expanded our capital allocation strategy,
introducing a share repurchase program
to enhance long-term value creation.
We leveraged our M&A strength, integrating
Palette Life Sciences and its innovative Barrigel
product into our business.
Liam Kelly congratulates John Deren on his appointment to the role of Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer of Teleflex, following the retirement of Thomas Powell, which will
be effective April 2, 2025.
The force behind our progress is our team of 14,100
employees around the world. Our people truly
understand the importance of the work we do, and
they demonstrate this by upholding quality in their
respective roles every day. We would like to thank
each of them for their ongoing commitment to our
corporate purpose of improving the health and
quality of people s lives.
capital to shareholders through dividends.
During the year, we augmented this program
by authorizing a $500 million share repurchase
plan, including a $200 million accelerated share
repurchase, which we launched in August 2024.
We expect this new initiative to increase
shareholder returns, and to create additional
long-term value for our shareholders.
Creating Shareholder Value
Expanding Our Portfolio

Teleflex
2024 Annual Report
Teleflex is a highly disciplined acquirer. We have a
proven M&A process, along with a strong track
record for buying assets that are accretive to growth.
Since 2018, we have made a series of strategic tuck-in
acquisitions that have brought us differentiated
products and technologies in high-growth markets.
These include our acquisitions of Essential Medical,
Z-Medica, HPC Medical, Standard Bariatrics, and
most recently, Palette Life Sciences, which we
completed in late 2023. Palette Life Sciences brought
us Barrigel , a Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic
Acid (NASHA) spacer designed to decrease radiation
side effects to the rectum and improve quality of life
in patients with prostate cancer.2 This next-generation
technology expanded our opportunity in the
Interventional Urology market by approximately
$100 million. We are promoting Barrigel in the U.S.
through our extensive network of physician call
points and our patient outreach program, and it has
exceeded our revenue expectations thus far. We
are also providing clinical education sessions to
train healthcare providers on the safe and effective
use of this technology. We are sharply focused
on continuing to identify acquisition opportunities
that align with our strengths, and support our
strategy to generate durable long-term growth.
Driving Organic Growth
We drive organic growth in several ways, including
developing and launching new products, introducing
our established portfolios into new markets around
the world, and promoting our high-growth products
across our businesses. In 2024, these strategies
continued to generate strong performance
geographically, especially in EMEA. Our business
units also performed well. In Vascular Access, our
peripheral and central access products generated
strong revenue. In Interventional, we executed a
limited market release of the Ringer Perfusion
Balloon Catheter. We also ramped our production
of intra-aortic balloon (IAB) pumps in response to a
sudden market disruption, seizing this opportunity
to meet customer demand while generating
meaningful revenue growth. In Surgical, we drove
adoption of our Titan SGS Stapler during the year
by executing increased marketing and clinical
education programs, backed by favorable clinical
data from a real-world study.
Building Our CSR Platform
Our business revolves around people, making
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) a true priority
across our enterprise. Our CSR activities are
2
supported by our Core Values, which provide the
foundation for how we conduct ourselves in every
business function, in every part of the world, every
day. In 2024, we continued to advance each tenet
of our CSR program, delivering on our commitments
to ethics and governance, the environment, people,
the community, and sustainable healthcare. Our
diligence in these areas has been recognized
repeatedly. In 2024, Teleflex earned Great Place
to Work commendations in Australia, China, India,
and Malaysia, and we were named to the Forbes
list of Best Places to Work for Engineers.
Moving Forward
We enter 2025 well-positioned for continued growth.
Over the past year, we continued to prove that
Teleflex has the strength and discipline to expand
our business. We invested in R&D, improved adjusted
margins, and delivered steady revenue growth.
We also demonstrated exceptional strength in our
supply chain function, meeting emerging market
needs, delivering outstanding service, and
maintaining both reliability and resilience. As we
move ahead, we will continue to execute our strategy
to drive long-term durable growth across our
products, therapy areas, and geographic regions.
This will include fueling sustainable revenue growth,
expanding margins and earnings, optimizing our
product portfolio, and advancing our CSR program.
In the process, we will continue to focus on
generating the steady, long-term value you our
valued shareholders have come to expect.
