1. i BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim consolidated condensed financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in Edwards Lifesciences Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.

In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an amendment to the guidance on leases. The amendment improves transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach was required upon adoption. Reporting entities could elect to adjust comparative periods and record the cumulative effect adjustment at the beginning of the earliest comparative period, or to not adjust comparative periods and record the cumulative effect adjustment at the effective date.

The Company adopted the new guidance as of the effective date of January 1, 2019 with no adjustments to the comparative period presented in the financial statements. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company implemented internal controls and system solutions to enable the preparation and disclosure of financial information about its leasing arrangements upon adoption.

The adoption of the guidance resulted in the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and additional lease liabilities for operating leases of $ i 58.7 million as of January 1, 2019. The guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated condensed statements of operations. See Note 3 for disclosures related to the Company's leases.

2. i OTHER CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT DETAILS

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an additional $ i 26.9 million charge to "Cost of Sales" resulting from refinements to its portfolio strategy, which consists mainly of an additional write off of inventory. This amount includes an out-of-period adjustment of $ i 10.3 million. The Company determined that the out-of-period adjustment is not material to the three or nine months ended September 30, 2019 or to any prior periods.

The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments. ROU assets also include any lease payments made at or before lease commencement and any initial direct costs incurred, and exclude any lease incentives received.

The Company determines the lease term as the noncancellable period of the lease, and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet. Certain of the Company’s leases include variable lease payments that are based on costs incurred or actual usage, or adjusted periodically based on an index or a rate. The Company’s leases do not contain any residual value guarantees.

The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all of its leases except vehicle leases, for which the lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in “Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets” and “Operating Lease Liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The Company leases certain office space, manufacturing facilities, land, apartments, warehouses, vehicles, and equipment with remaining lease terms ranging from less than i 1 year to i 22 years, some of which include options to extend or terminate the leases.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company has a number of equity investments in privately and publicly held companies. i Investments in these unconsolidated affiliates are recorded in "Long-term Investments" on the consolidated condensed balance sheets, and are as follows:



	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
	(in millions)
Equity method investments
Cost	$	i 10.7		$	i 9.1
Equity in losses	( i 3.8		)	( i 4.7		)
Carrying value of equity method investments	i 6.9			i 4.4
Equity securities
Carrying value of non-marketable equity securities	i 20.1			i 18.1
Total investments in unconsolidated affiliates	$	i 27.0		$	i 22.5

Non-marketable equity securities consist of investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values, and are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The Company recorded an upward adjustment of $ i 0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 based on observable price changes. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had recorded accumulated upward adjustments of $ i 2.0 million based on observable price changes, and accumulated downward adjustments of $ i 1.9 million due to impairment and observable price changes.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the gross realized gains or losses from sales of available-for-sale investments were not material.

On February 11, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire all the outstanding shares of CAS Medical Systems, Inc. ("CASMED") for an aggregate cash purchase price of $ i 2.45 per share of common stock, or an equity value of approximately $ i 100 million. The transaction closed on April 18, 2019, and the cash purchase price was $ i 100.8 million.

Acquisition-related costs of $ i 2.0 million were recorded in “Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses” during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

CASMED is a medical technology company dedicated to non-invasive monitoring of tissue oxygenation in the brain. The Company plans to integrate the acquired technology platform into its hemodynamic monitoring platform. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and intangible assets acquired were recorded based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. i The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):



Current assets	$	i 6.1
Property and equipment, net	i 1.3
Goodwill	i 64.4
Developed technology	i 35.9
Customer relationships	i 8.8
Deferred tax assets	i 2.2
Liabilities assumed	( i 17.9		)
Total purchase price	i 100.8
Less: cash acquired	( i 0.6		)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired	$	i 100.2

Goodwill includes expected synergies and other benefits the Company believes will result from the acquisition. Goodwill was assigned to the Company’s United States segment and is not deductible for tax purposes. Developed technology assets are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life of i 14 years. Customer relationship assets are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life of i 10 years.

The results of operations for CASMED have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Pro forma results have not been presented as the results of CASMED are not material in relation to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

7. i FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The consolidated condensed financial statements include financial instruments for which the fair market value of such instruments may differ from amounts reflected on a historical cost basis. Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash deposits, accounts and other receivables, investments, accounts payable, certain accrued liabilities, and borrowings under a revolving credit agreement. These financial instruments are held at cost, which generally approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

Financial instruments also include notes payable. As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of the notes payable, based on Level 2 inputs, was $ i 676.9 million.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company prioritizes the inputs used to determine fair values in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Changes in fair value	i 12.4
Balance at September 30, 2019	$	i 191.0

Cash Equivalents and Available-for-sale Investments

The Company estimates the fair values of its money market funds based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company estimates the fair values of its time deposits, commercial paper, U.S. and foreign government and agency securities, municipal securities, asset-backed securities, and corporate debt securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services use industry standard valuation models, including both income and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades and broker-dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, benchmark yields, credit spreads, prepayment and default projections based on historical data, and other observable inputs. The Company independently reviews and validates the pricing received from the third-party pricing service by comparing the prices to prices reported by a secondary pricing source. The Company’s validation procedures have not resulted in an adjustment to the pricing received from the pricing service.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company holds investments in trading securities related to its deferred compensation plans. The investments are in a variety of stock and bond mutual funds. The fair values of these investments and the corresponding liabilities are based on quoted market prices.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and cross currency swap contracts to manage foreign currency exposures. All derivatives contracts are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments was estimated based on quoted market foreign exchange rates and market discount rates. Judgment was employed in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value; accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

Certain of the Company's acquisitions involve contingent consideration arrangements. Payment of additional consideration is contingent upon the acquired company reaching certain performance milestones, such as attaining specified revenue levels or obtaining regulatory approvals. These contingent consideration liabilities are measured at estimated fair value using either a probability weighted discounted cash flow analysis or a Monte Carlo simulation model, both of which consider significant unobservable inputs. These inputs include (1) the discount rate used to present value the projected cash flows (ranging from i 1.9% to i 3.0%), (2) the probability of milestone achievement (ranging from i 43.4% to i 98.4%), (3) the projected payment dates (ranging from 2022 to 2026, and (4) the volatility of future revenue ( i 45.0%). The use of different assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

8. i DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate and foreign currency risks, as summarized below. It is the Company's policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Notional amounts are stated in United States dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates.



	Notional Amount
	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(in millions)
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts	$	i 1,247.7	$	i 1,378.2
Cross currency swap contracts	i 300.0		i 300.0

Derivative financial instruments involve credit risk in the event the counterparty should default. It is the Company's policy to execute such instruments with global financial institutions that the Company believes to be creditworthy. The Company diversifies its derivative financial instruments among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. The Company also uses International Swap Dealers Association master-netting agreements. The master-netting agreements provide for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default, as defined by the agreements.

The Company uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts, cross currency swap contracts, and foreign currency denominated debt to manage its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates from (a) future cash flows associated with intercompany transactions and certain local currency expenses expected to occur within the next i 13 months (designated as cash flow hedges), (b) its net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries (designated as net investment hedges) and (c) foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities (designated as fair value hedges). The Company also uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to offset the transaction gains and losses associated with certain assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than their functional currencies (resulting principally from intercompany and local currency transactions).

All derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. For each derivative instrument that is designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recognized immediately to earnings, and offsets the loss or gain on the underlying hedged item. The Company reports in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" the gain or loss on derivative financial instruments that are designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges. The Company reclassifies these gains and losses into earnings in the same line item and in the same period in which the underlying hedged transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of net investment hedges are reported in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" as a part of the cumulative translation adjustment and would be reclassified into earnings if the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. The portion of the change in fair value related to components excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment are amortized into earnings over the life of the derivative. The gains and losses on derivative financial instruments for which the Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in each period based upon the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument. Cash flows from net investment hedges are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows, and cash flows from all other derivative financial instruments are reported as operating activities.

The following table presents the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets (in millions):

In June 2018, the Company repaid and dedesignated its € i 370.0 million of outstanding long-term debt which had been previously designated as a net investment hedge, and concurrently entered into cross currency swap contracts, which were designated as a net investment hedge. The cross currency swaps have an expiration date of June 15, 2028. At maturity of the cross currency swap contracts, the Company will deliver the notional amount of € i 257.2 million and will receive $ i 300.0 million from the counterparties. The Company will receive semi-annual interest payments from the counterparties based on a fixed interest rate until maturity of the agreements.

At September 30, 2019, the total remaining compensation cost related to nonvested stock options, restricted stock units, market-based restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") subscription awards amounted to $ i 143.3 million, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average remaining requisite service period of i 32 months.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company granted i 0.8 million stock options at a weighted-average exercise price of $ i 178.81 and i 0.2 million shares of restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $ i 179.85. The Company also granted i 33,000 shares of market-based restricted stock units at a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $ i 193.95. The market-based restricted stock units vest based on a combination of certain service and market conditions. The actual number of shares issued will be determined based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to a selected industry peer group over a three-year performance period, and may range from i 0% to i 175% of the targeted number of shares granted.

Fair Value Disclosures

The fair value of the market-based restricted stock units was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements. The weighted- average assumptions used to determine the fair value of the market-based restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 included a risk-free interest rate of i 2.2% and i 2.7%, respectively, and an expected volatility rate of i 29.4% and i 29.7%, respectively.

During 2019 and 2018, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreements providing for the repurchase of the Company's common stock based on the volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock during the term of the agreements, less a discount.

The ASR agreements were accounted for as two separate transactions: (a) the value of the initial delivery of shares was recorded as shares of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction on the acquisition date and (b) the remaining amount of the purchase price paid was recorded as a forward contract indexed to the Company's own common stock and was recorded in "Additional Paid-in Capital" on the consolidated balance sheets. The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company determined that the forward contract indexed to the Company's common stock met all the applicable criteria for equity classification and, therefore, was not accounted for as a derivative instrument.

11. i COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On January 28, 2019, Abbott Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. and Evalve, Inc., both subsidiaries of Abbott Laboratories (collectively "Abbott") filed a lawsuit against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and Edwards Lifesciences, LLC, (“Edwards”) in the Federal District Court in the District of Delaware alleging that the Edwards PASCAL heart valve repair system infringes certain claims of Abbott’s U.S. Patent Nos. 7,288,097, 6,752,813, 7,563,267, 7,736,388, and 8,057,493, seeking unspecified monetary damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. Thereafter, Abbott sought a preliminary injunction and a

On January 28, 2019, Abbott and its Abbott Medical UK Limited subsidiary (inclusively and collectively also "Abbott”) filed a lawsuit in the United Kingdom in the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court, against Edwards Lifesciences Limited, alleging that the Edwards PASCAL heart valve repair system infringes certain claims of Abbott’s UK national patents arising from EP 1 624 810 B1 (the " ‘810 patent") and EP 1 408 850 B1 (the “ ‘850 patent”). Abbott has requested a preliminary injunction and the High Court denied this request. The trial is scheduled to begin between December 9-11, 2019.

On January 28, 2019, Abbott Medical GmbH (inclusively and collectively also "Abbott”) filed a lawsuit in the District Court in Düsseldorf, Germany against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and its German subsidiary, Edwards Lifesciences Services GmbH, alleging that the Edwards PASCAL heart valve repair system infringes certain claims of Abbott’s German national patents arising from the ‘810 and ‘850 European patents. The District Court has scheduled trial for July 14, 2020. On March 15, 2019, Edwards filed a lawsuit in the German Patent Court in Munich, Germany, alleging that Abbott’s ‘850 patent is invalid. The Abbott ‘810 patent is already subject to opposition proceedings at the European Patent Office.

On January 28, 2019, Abbott and Abbott Medical AG (inclusively and collectively also "Abbott”) filed a lawsuit in the Federal Patent Court in St. Gallen, Switzerland against Edwards Lifesciences AG, Edwards Lifesciences Technology Sàrl, Edwards Lifesciences IPRM AG, and Mitral Valve Technologies Sàrl, alleging that the Edwards PASCAL heart valve repair system infringes Abbott’s Swiss national patents arising from the same European patents. The court subsequently granted Abbott's request for a preliminary injunction on the '850 patent and Edwards has appealed.

On January 28, 2019, Abbott Cardiovascular System Inc., Abbott Medical Italia S.p.A and Evalve Inc. (inclusively and collectively also "Abbott”) filed a lawsuit in the Civil Court of Milan, Italy against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, Edwards Lifesciences LLC, and Edwards Lifesciences Italia SpA, alleging that the Edwards PASCAL heart valve repair system infringes Abbott’s Italian national patent arising from its ‘850 European patent. The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in all of the above matters.

On February 22, 2019, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and Edwards Lifesciences, LLC filed a lawsuit against Abbott Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. in the Federal District Court in the Central District of California alleging that Abbott’s MITRACLIP device infringes Edwards’ U.S. Patent Nos. 6,719,767, 7,011,669, and 8,062,313 related to heart implant technology and seeking unspecified monetary damages. A trial date has not yet been scheduled.

Because the ultimate outcome of the above matters involve judgments, estimates, and inherent uncertainties, charges related to such matters could have a material adverse impact on Edwards Lifesciences' financial results. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies to the extent it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company is not able to estimate the amount or range of any loss for these matters.

In addition, Edwards Lifesciences is or may be a party to, or may otherwise be responsible for, pending or threatened lawsuits related primarily to products and services currently or formerly manufactured or performed, as applicable, by Edwards Lifesciences (the "Other Lawsuits"). The Other Lawsuits raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular case or claim, the jurisdiction in which each suit is brought, and differences in applicable law. Management does not believe that any charge relating to the Other Lawsuits would have a material adverse effect on Edwards Lifesciences’ overall financial results. However, the resolution of i one or more of the Other Lawsuits in any reporting period, could have a material adverse impact on Edwards Lifesciences' financial results for that period. The Company is not able to estimate the amount or range of any loss for legal contingencies for which there is no reserve or additional loss for matters already reserved.

Edwards Lifesciences is subject to various environmental laws and regulations both within and outside of the United States. The operations of Edwards Lifesciences, like those of other medical device companies, involve the use of substances regulated under environmental laws, primarily in manufacturing and sterilization processes. While it is difficult to quantify the potential impact of continuing compliance with environmental protection laws, management believes that such compliance will not have a material impact on Edwards Lifesciences' financial results.

13. i EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during a period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period calculated using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include employee equity share options, nonvested shares, and similar equity instruments granted by the Company. Potential common share equivalents have been excluded where their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Stock options, restricted stock units, and market-based restricted stock units to purchase i 0.8 million and i 1.0 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and i 0.6 million and i 1.1 million shares for the nine

months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company's effective income tax rates were i 8.9% and i 9.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and i 9.9% and i 6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The effective rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to (1) the tax benefit from employee share-based compensation and (2) foreign earnings taxed at lower rates. The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included an expense of $ i 15.8 million related to adjustment of the estimated provisional amounts recorded at December 31, 2017 in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In addition, the effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $ i 36.1 million benefit from the settlement of tax audits, and a tax benefit of $ i 9.1 million from a tax reform related restructuring. The effective rates include a tax benefit from employee share-based compensation of $ i 19.6 million and $ i 12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $ i 56.2 million and $ i 44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company strives to resolve open matters with each tax authority at the examination level and could reach agreement with a tax authority at any time. While the Company has accrued for matters it believes are more likely than not to require settlement, the final outcome with a tax authority may result in a tax liability that is more or less than that reflected in the consolidated condensed financial statements. Furthermore, the Company may later decide to challenge any assessments, if made, and may exercise its right to appeal. The uncertain tax positions are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as events occur that affect potential liabilities for additional taxes, such as lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, proposed assessments by tax authorities, negotiations between tax authorities, identification of new issues, and issuance of new legislation, regulations, or case law.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $ i 186.2 million and $ i 150.7 million, respectively. The Company estimates that these liabilities would be reduced by $ i 61.7 million and $ i 42.7 million, respectively, from offsetting tax benefits associated with the correlative effects of potential transfer pricing adjustments, state income taxes, and timing adjustments. The net amounts of $ i 124.5 million and $ i 108.0 million, respectively, if not required, would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate.

At September 30, 2019, all material state, local, and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2008. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") began its examination of the 2015 and 2016 tax years during the fourth quarter of 2018 and its examination of the 2017 tax year during the first quarter of 2019.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Dominican Republic tax authorities inquired as to withholding tax matters related to branch remittances in 2016 and certain intercompany transactions payments for 2016 through 2018. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company received a letter from the Dominican Republic tax authorities stating that their review through 2018 had concluded, and as a result no withholding tax was due.

During 2018, the Company executed an Advance Pricing Agreement between the United States and Switzerland governments for tax years 2009 through 2020 covering various transfer pricing matters. Certain intercompany transactions covering tax years 2015 through 2018 were not resolved and those related tax positions remain uncertain. These transfer pricing matters may be significant to the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.

15. i SEGMENT INFORMATION

Edwards Lifesciences conducts operations worldwide and is managed in the following geographical regions: United States, Europe, Japan, and Rest of World. All regions sell products that are used to treat advanced cardiovascular disease.

The Company's geographic segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the Chief Executive Officer). The Company evaluates the performance of its geographic segments based on net sales and income before provision for income taxes ("pre-tax income"). The accounting policies of the segments are substantially the same as those described in Note 2 of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Segment net sales and segment pre-tax income are based on internally derived standard foreign exchange rates, which may differ from year to year, and do not include inter-segment profits. Because of the interdependence of the reportable segments, the operating profit as presented may not be representative of the geographical distribution that would occur if the segments were not interdependent. Net sales by geographic area are based on the location of the customer.

Certain items are maintained at the corporate level and are not allocated to the segments. The non-allocated items include net interest expense, global marketing expenses, corporate research and development expenses, manufacturing variances, corporate headquarters costs, special gains and charges, stock-based compensation, foreign currency hedging activities, certain litigation costs, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, and most of the Company's amortization expense. Although most of the Company's depreciation expense is included in segment pre-tax income, due to the Company's methodology for cost build-up, it is impractical to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in each segment, and, therefore, a portion is maintained at the corporate level. The Company neither discretely allocates assets to its operating segments, nor evaluates the operating segments using discrete asset information.

•	higher sales of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 valve, particularly in the United States, driven by strong therapy adoption; and


•	higher sales of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Ultra System following its regulatory approval in Europe (November 2018) and the United States (December 2018);


•	foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which decreased net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 by $4.2 million and $29.5 million, respectively, due primarily to the weakening of the Euro against the United States dollar.


•	sales return reserves in the prior year periods of $14.4 million and $77.5 million, respectively, in the United States related to our conversion to a consignment inventory model; and


•	increased sales of aortic tissue valves in the United States and Japan, primarily the INSPIRIS RESILIA aortic valve;


(a)	The difference between the total number of shares (or units) purchased and the total number of shares (or units) purchased as part of publicly announced plans or programs is due to shares withheld by us to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units issued to employees.


(b)	On May 8, 2019, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing us to purchase on the open market, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan and in privately negotiated transactions, up to $1.0 billion of our common stock.
