On October 24, 2019, Baxter International Inc announced it had opened an internal investigation into certain intra-Company transactions aimed at foreign exchange gains and losses.

These transactions resulted in misstatements in Baxter International Inc's previously reported non-operating income related to net foreign exchange gains, reported in amounts from between $8 million and $113 million for the years 2014-2018, and the first half of 2019. Baxter International Inc said it will not timely file its 10-Q for the third quarter of 2019, and it expects to restate its previously reported financial statements.
