Third Party Arrangements
Note 3 — Third Party Arrangements
On April 1, 2022 (the "Separation Date"), Embecta and Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"). 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, 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 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. Specifically for the LSA, Embecta paid 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 were 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). Such services provided pursuant to the TSA and the LSA have terminated 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”).
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 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 any event no longer than the maximum term of two years, except certain such agreements may be extended in connection with the Extension. Embecta 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
risks and losses associated with the related receivables when there was no factoring agreement in place. As such, Embecta recognized these sales on a gross basis. All distribution agreements have terminated and expired.
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.
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.
The amounts due from BD under the above agreements were $3.3 million and $12.2 million at September 30, 2025 and are reflected in Amounts due from Becton, Dickinson and Company and Trade receivables, net, respectively. The amount due to BD under these agreements was $16.3 million and $4.1 million at September 30, 2025 and are included in Amounts due to Becton, Dickinson and Company and Accounts payable, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the closing of the transfers of certain assets and liabilities in certain jurisdictions which did not occur at Separation, is complete.
