Exhibit 99.2

VAREX IMAGING COMPLETES SEPARATION FROM

VARIAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LISTS ON THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, January 30, 2017 – Varex Imaging Corporation (Nasdaq: VREX) today announced that its spin-off from Varian Medical Systems (NYSE: VAR) has been successfully completed. The common stock of Varex Imaging, a new independent public company, will begin trading “regular way” today on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “VREX”.

Under the terms of the previously announced separation, Varian stockholders received 0.4 of a share of Varex stock for every one share of Varian stock they held as of the record date of January 20, 2017. Varex shares were distributed at 12:01 am Pacific Time on January 28, 2017 in a distribution that is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Varex has approximately 38 million shares outstanding.

In connection with the separation, Varex made a $200 million cash payment to Varian. Varex funded this payment and related expenses from its $300 million revolving credit facility. The balance of undrawn funds remain available to fund working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.

“The past few months have been very busy as we prepared for the spin-off of Varex Imaging and also announced the planned acquisition of the Medical Imaging business of PerkinElmer,” said Sunny Sanyal, President and Chief Executive Officer of Varex Imaging. “Much of our time recently has been filled with meetings, calls and roadshow presentations with the investor and analyst community. Overall, the past year has been an exciting time for us and I want to thank all the people at Varian and Varex who devoted so much time and effort to make the separation a success,” Sanyal added.

Varex Management

The new President and Chief Executive Officer of Varex Imaging is Sunny Sanyal (previously President of the Varian Imaging Components business). The new Chief Financial Officer is Clarence Verhoef (previously Varian Corporate Controller). The new General Counsel and Corporate Secretary is Kim Honeysett (previously Vice President and Assistant General Counsel and Assistant Corporate Secretary for Varian).

As previously disclosed, Varex expects revenues for fiscal year 2017 to grow by 3-4 percent over the approximately $620 million recorded for fiscal year 2016 as set forth in the company’s Form 10 filing with the SEC. Assuming approximately 38 million shares outstanding and a 35 percent tax rate, Varex anticipates that GAAP net earnings per diluted share for the second through the fourth quarters of fiscal year 2017 will be in the range of $1.20 to $1.30. Going forward Varex will provide annual guidance.

Varex intends to file a 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 approximately at the end of February 2017. Prior to the filing of Varex’s 10-Q, Varian is expected to file financial information related to the discontinued operations of its Imaging Components business that is not anticipated to be comparable to the financial information included in Varex’s Form 10.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz acted as the respective financial and legal advisors in connection with the separation.
