01:05 PM EST, 03/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Steris ( STE ) shares were up 2% in recent trading on Tuesday a day after its unit Isomedix Operations agreed to settle personal injury claims related to ethylene oxide emissions with several plaintiffs for $48.2 million.

The claims are currently pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, according to Isomedix.

The company said it will fund the settlement with a mix of cash on hand and borrowing under its existing revolving credit facility. The charge for the $48.2 million settlement will be recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, but will be excluded from Steris' ( STE ) fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings measures.

Isomedix expects all ethylene oxide-related claims from covered plaintiffs to be dismissed upon court approval.
