Item 3 · We are from time to time subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and litigation may include, among other things, allegations of violations of United States and foreign health regulation and privacy laws and related regulations, as well as claims or litigation relating to product liability, intellectual property, breach of contract and tort, environmental, securities and employment matters. We operate in multiple jurisdictions and, as a result, claims in one jurisdiction may lead to claims or regulatory penalties in other jurisdictions. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of a legal proceeding; however, we intend to defend vigorously against any pending or future claims and litigation, other than matters deemed appropriate for settlement. We accrue a liability for legal claims when payments associated with the claims become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those claims. As of September 30, 2025, we were not a party to or subject to any material proceedings. Item 9A · ICFR · Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2025. Item 9A · material weakness · Remediation of Previously Reported Material Weakness As previously disclosed in Embecta’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company had identified a material weakness in the internal control over financial reporting related to the design and operation of certain process and management review controls, including management's review activities for account reconciliations and analyses that were executed subsequent to the completion phases of the Company's ERP system implementation which are further described above. | ||||||

Item 9A · ICFR · Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2024, due to a material weakness in its internal controls related to the design and operation of certain process and management review controls, including certain account reconciliations and analyses. Item 9A · material weakness · Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these controls and procedures were, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, not effective due to a material weakness in the Company's internal control over financial reporting related to the design and operation of certain process and management review controls, including management's review activities for account reconciliations and analyses that were executed for the first time during fiscal year 2024 subsequent to the first and second phases of the Company's ERP system implementation which is further described below. | ||||||

4 of 4 annual reports on record have their filing text cached on this host; the rest are listed with their EDGAR link and no extraction, because this surface never fetches from SEC on a page load.
- Item 3 and Item 9A are located in the filing HTML already cached on this host and read with the same line-anchored item matcher and largest-gap body disambiguation the filing-narrative pass uses for Item 1A and Item 7 — no fetch, no model, no summarization.
- A heading is accepted as a section only when it is not a table-of-contents row (a trailing page number), not a quoted reference in prose, and names its own section; the span must then clear a per-item length band and carry readable text after the heading. Anything that fails a gate is served as 'not extracted' with the reason — never as a default value.
- An effectiveness conclusion is read only from a sentence that names its own control set (disclosure controls and procedures, or internal control over financial reporting) and states an outcome. Conditional sentences — the standard limitations paragraph and forward-looking remediation language — are excluded, because they are hypotheses rather than conclusions.
- When a filing's own sentences disagree — an effective conclusion beside an unremediated material-weakness disclosure, or two conclusions of opposite sign — no verdict is asserted. A wrong 'controls were effective' reading is worse than no reading.
- Every verdict is shown beside the verbatim sentence it was read from. The excerpt is the filing's own words, capped at 1,200 characters; the filing itself is one link away.
