NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Haemonetics Corporation (“Haemonetics” or the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the six months ended October 1, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending April 1, 2023 or any other interim period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events as of or for the six months ended October 1, 2022, except those listed below. In November 2022, the Company made a €20 million investment in Vivasure Medical LTD, bringing the Company's total investment to €30 million. The investment will also be classified as other long-term assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Standards Implemented

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2019-12 — Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance improves consistent application of and simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principals in Topic 740. The Company adopted ASC Update No. 2019-12 effective April 4, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2020-06 — Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The amendments simplify the complexity associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASC Update No. 2020-06 effective April 4, 2021 using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in a decrease of $61.2 million to additional paid-in capital, a decrease to non-current deferred tax liabilities of $20.0 million, and an increase of $80.3 million to non-current convertible notes, net, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, retained earnings was adjusted to remove amortization expense recognized in prior periods related to the debt discount and the convertible notes no longer have a debt discount that will be amortized, net of taxes. The impact to retained earnings on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 4, 2021 is an increase of $1.0 million.

In July 2021, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2021-05 — Leases (Topic 842). The new guidance requires a lessor to classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate as an operating lease at lease commencement if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria of ASC 842 and the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. The Company prospectively adopted ASC Update No. 2021-05 effective in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3. RESTRUCTURING

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the global economy, the healthcare industry, and the markets in which it competes to identify opportunities for efficiencies, enhance commercial capabilities, align its resources and offer its customers better solutions. In order to realize these opportunities, the Company undertakes restructuring-type activities to transform its business.

In July 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Operational Excellence Program (the “2020 Program”) and delegated authority to the Company’s management to determine the detail of the initiatives that will comprise the program. During fiscal 2022, the Company revised the program to improve product and service quality, reduce cost principally in its manufacturing and supply chain operations and ensure sustainability while helping to offset impacts from a previously announced customer loss, rising inflationary pressures and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company now expects to incur aggregate charges between $95 million and $105 million by the end of fiscal 2025 under the program. The majority of charges will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, and will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company incurred $3.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program. During the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, the Company incurred $4.6 million and $14.5 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program. Total cumulative charges under this program are $62.3 million.

The following table summarizes the activity for restructuring reserves related to the 2020 Program and prior programs for the six months ended October 1, 2022, substantially all of which relates to employee severance and other employee costs:


(In thousands)	2020 Program		Prior Programs		Total
Balance at April 2, 2022	$	2,460	$	345	$	2,805
Costs incurred, net of reversals	59		62		121
Payments	(1,038)		(101)		(1,139)
Balance at October 1, 2022	$	1,481	$	306	$	1,787

The following presents the restructuring costs by line item within our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021		October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021
Cost of goods sold	$	29	$	210	$	(177)	$	2,463
Research and development	—		3		—		108
Selling, general and administrative expenses	136		482		298		1,544
	$	165	$	695	$	121	$	4,115

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had a restructuring liability of $1.8 million, of which $1.5 million is payable within the next twelve months.

In addition to the restructuring costs included in the table above, the Company also incurred costs that do not constitute restructuring under ASC 420, Exit and Disposal Cost Obligations, and which the Company instead refers to as restructuring related costs. These costs consist primarily of expenditures directly related to the restructuring actions and include program management costs associated with the implementation of outsourcing initiatives and recent accounting standards.

The tables below present restructuring and restructuring related costs by reportable segment:

4. INCOME TAXES

The Company conducts business globally and reports its results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. The Company’s reported tax rate is impacted by the jurisdictional mix of earnings in any given period as the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates have tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate.

For the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company reported income tax expense of $7.9 million and $13.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 19.1% and 20.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended October 1, 2022 includes a discrete tax benefit of $0.5 million related to tax rate changes enacted in the quarter and $0.3 million of discrete tax expense relating to stock compensation shortfalls. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022, the effective tax rate includes a discrete tax benefit of $0.5 million related to tax rate changes enacted in the quarter and $0.3 million of discrete tax benefit relating to stock compensation windfalls.

For the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, the Company reported income tax expense of $5.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 25.4% and 38.5%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended October 2, 2021 include discrete tax expense relating to stock compensation shortfalls of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021		October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021
Basic EPS
Net income	$	33,197	$	14,856	$	53,074	$	10,402
Weighted average shares	50,953		51,039		51,089		50,989
Basic income per share	$	0.65	$	0.29	$	1.04	$	0.20
Diluted EPS
Net income	$	33,197	$	14,856	$	53,074	$	10,402
Basic weighted average shares	50,953		51,039		51,089		50,989
Net effect of common stock equivalents	605		419		531		369
Diluted weighted average shares	51,558		51,458		51,620		51,358
Diluted income per share	$	0.64	$	0.29	$	1.03	$	0.20

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the Company’s weighted-average outstanding common stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using its weighted-average outstanding common stock including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method and the convertible senior notes as determined under the net share settlement method. From the time of the issuance of the convertible senior notes, the average market price of the Company's common shares has been less than the initial conversion price, and consequently no shares have been included in diluted earnings per share for the conversion value of the convertible senior notes. For the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of 0.7 million and 0.8 million anti-dilutive shares, respectively. For the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of 0.9 million anti-dilutive shares.

Share Repurchase Program

In August 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of Haemonetics common stock over the next three years. Under the share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, outstanding shares of common stock in accordance with applicable laws on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements and compliance with the terms of loan covenants. The share repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program.

Subsequent to the Company’s announcement of the share repurchase program, in August 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) to repurchase $75.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, in August 2022, the Company paid Citibank $75.0 million in cash and received an initial delivery of 0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock based on a closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on August 16, 2022 of $76.32. This initial delivery of shares represented approximately 80% of the notional amount of the ASR. The ASR was completed in November 2022 and approximately 0.2 million additional shares were delivered upon settlement.

As of October 1, 2022, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program was $225 million.

6. REVENUE

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is to recognize revenues from product sales, software and services in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s goods or services. The Company considers revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met: it has a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; promised products or services are identified; the transaction price, or the consideration it expects to receive for transferring goods or providing services, is determinable and it has transferred control of the promised items to the customer. A promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer is identified as a performance obligation. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Some of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling prices of the good or service in the contract. For goods or services for which observable standalone selling prices are not available, the Company uses an expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

As of October 1, 2022, the Company had $23.0 million of its transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations related to executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more. The Company expects to recognize approximately 74% of this amount as revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining balance thereafter.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The difference in timing between billing and revenue recognition primarily occurs in software licensing arrangements, resulting in contract assets and contract liabilities.

As of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, the Company had contract assets of $7.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively. Contract assets are classified as other current assets and other long-term assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022, the Company had contract liabilities of $24.4 million and $26.8 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recognized $6.8 million and $18.5 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in the above April 2, 2022 contract liability balance.

7. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include the cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined with the first-in, first-out method.


(In thousands)	October 1, 2022		April 2, 2022
Raw materials	$	83,602	$	88,886
Work-in-process	21,853		17,187
Finished goods	149,225		186,954
Total inventories	$	254,680	$	293,027

8. LEASES

Lessor Activity

Assets on the Company’s balance sheet classified as Haemonetics equipment primarily consist of medical devices installed at customer sites but owned by Haemonetics. These devices are leased to customers under contractual arrangements that typically include an operating or sales-type lease as well as the purchase and consumption of a certain level of disposable products. Sales-type leases are not significant. Contract terms vary by customer and may include options to terminate the contract or options to extend the contract. Where devices are provided under operating lease arrangements, a substantial majority of the entire lease revenue is variable and subject to subsequent non-lease component (disposable products) sales. The allocation of revenue between the lease and non-lease components is based on stand-alone selling prices. Operating lease revenue represents approximately 3 percent of the Company’s total net sales.

9. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The total net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs, were approximately $486.7 million. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Notes to convert have not been met. The 2026 Notes were therefore not convertible as of October 1, 2022 and were classified as long-term debt on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On April 4, 2021, the Company adopted ASC Update No. 2020-06 using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in a decrease of $61.2 million to additional paid-in capital, a decrease to non-current deferred tax liabilities of $20.0 million, and an increase of $80.3 million to non-current convertible notes, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, retained earnings was adjusted to remove amortization expense recognized in prior periods related to the debt discount and the convertible notes no longer have a debt discount that will be amortized, net of taxes. The impact to retained earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 4, 2021 is an increase of $1.0 million.

As of October 1, 2022, the $500.0 million principal balance was netted down by $9.2 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $490.8 million. Interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was $0.7 million and $1.3 million, for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, which is entirely attributable to the amortization of the debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs are amortized at an effective interest rate of 0.5%.

Credit Facilities

On June 15, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders that provided for a $350.0 million term loan and a $350.0 million revolving loan (together with the term loan, as amended from time to time, the “2018 Credit Facilities”) that were each scheduled to mature on June 15, 2023 with applicable interest rates during the period established using LIBOR plus 1.13% - 1.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance the 2018 Credit Facilities and extend their maturity date through June 2025. The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $280.0 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which have been used to settle the balance of the term loan under the 2018 Credit Facilities, and a $420.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the “Revised Credit Facilities”). Loans under the Revised Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as specified in the amended and restated credit agreement), which is subject to a floor of 0%, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio (as specified in the amended and restated credit agreement) at the applicable measurement date. Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans are also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum. The revolving credit facility carries an unused fee that ranges from 0.125% to 0.250% annually based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio at the applicable measurement date. Under the Revised Credit Facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in the amended and restated credit agreement as well as other customary non-financial affirmative and negative covenants. The Revised Credit Facilities mature on June 15, 2025. The principal amount of the term loan under the Revised Credit Facilities is repayable quarterly through the maturity date at a rate of 2.5% for the first year and 5% thereafter, with the unpaid balance due at maturity.

The Company applied modification accounting for the credit facility refinancing. For the term loan under the Revised Credit facilities, for the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recognized interest expense of $0.5 million for third party fees incurred and capitalized $0.2 million of lender fees related to the term loan. For the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company capitalized $1.1 million of lender fees and third-party costs incurred in the refinancing related to the revolving credit facility under the Revised Credit Facilities.

At October 1, 2022, $278.3 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 4.2%. The Company has scheduled principal payments of $8.8 million required during the 12 months following October 1, 2022. There was $50.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at October 1, 2022. The Company also has $19.6 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund its global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of October 1, 2022.

The Company was in compliance with the leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in the Revised Credit Facilities as well as all other bank covenants as of October 1, 2022.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company manufactures, markets and sells its products globally. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, 28.8% and 29.6%, respectively, of the Company’s sales were generated outside the U.S. in local currencies. The Company also incurs certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency.

Accordingly, earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. The Company has a program in place that is designed to mitigate the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the impact on its financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen and the Euro, and to a lesser extent the Swiss Franc, Chinese Yuan and the Mexican Peso. This does not eliminate the impact of the volatility of foreign exchange rates. However, because the Company generally enters into forward contracts one year out, rates are fixed for a one-year period, thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation.

Designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts

All of the Company’s designated foreign currency hedge contracts as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022 were cash flow hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The Company records the effective portion of any change in the fair value of designated foreign currency hedge contracts in other comprehensive income until the related third-party transaction occurs. Once the related third-party transaction occurs, the Company reclassifies the effective portion of any related gain or loss on the designated foreign currency hedge contracts to earnings. In the event the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. The Company had designated foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding in the contract amount of $30.9 million as of October 1, 2022 and $67.3 million as of April 2, 2022. At October 1, 2022, a gain of $2.4 million, net of tax, will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. Substantially all currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of October 1, 2022 mature within twelve months.

Non-Designated Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company manages its exposure to changes in foreign currency on a consolidated basis to take advantage of offsetting transactions and balances. It uses foreign currency forward contracts as a part of its strategy to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These foreign currency forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with currency transaction exposures, generally one month. They are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC 815. These forward contracts are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. The Company had non-designated foreign currency hedge contracts under ASC 815 outstanding in the contract amount of $45.2 million as of October 1, 2022 and $39.5 million as of April 2, 2022.

Interest Rate Swaps

Part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy includes the use of interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to changes in variable interest rates. The Company’s objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage and reduce the risk inherent in interest rate fluctuations.

On June 15, 2018, the Company entered into the 2018 Credit Facilities, which provided for a $350.0 million term loan and a $350.0 million revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the 2018 Credit Facilities, interest was established using LIBOR plus the applicable rate ranging from 1.13% to 1.75% based on the Company's leverage ratio. In August 2018, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to pay an average fixed rate of 2.80% plus the applicable rate on a total notional value of $241.9 million of debt, or 70% of the notional value of the unsecured term loan. The 2018 interest rate swaps mature on June 15, 2023. As a result of the refinancing in August 2022, the 2018 interest rate swaps were amended in September 2022 to align with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate rather than LIBOR (the “Amended Swaps”). The Company concluded that the Amended Swaps were still effective such that hedge accounting was continued on these swaps.

On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement to refinance the 2018 Credit Facilities and extend their maturity date through June 2025. The Revised Credit Facilities include a $280.0 million senior unsecured term loan and a $420.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Loans under the Revised Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to the 1-month USD Term SOFR plus 0.10% and an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. In September 2022, the Company entered into four additional interest rate swaps, which when combined with the Amended Swaps, result in an average blended fixed interest rate of 3.57% plus the applicable rate on 70% of the notional value of the unsecured term loan until mid-June 2023 and 4.12% plus the applicable rate thereafter on 80% of the notional until the maturity date in June 2025. The Company has concluded that each of these four additional interest rate swaps are effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

The Company held the following interest rate swaps as of October 1, 2022:


Hedged Item	Original Notional Amount		Notional Amount as of October 1, 2022		Designation Date	Effective Date	Termination Date	Fixed Interest Rate	Estimated Fair Value Assets (Liabilities)
(In thousands)
1-month USD Term SOFR	$	140,719	$	85,500	9/23/2022	9/30/2022	6/15/2023	2.67%	$	502
1-month USD Term SOFR	101,219		61,500		9/23/2022	9/30/2022	6/15/2023	2.76%	348

Total	$	509,514	$	194,776					$	138

For the six months ended October 1, 2022, a gain of $3.2 million, net of tax, was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of the Swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.

Trade Receivables

In the ordinary course of business, the Company grants trade credit to its customers on normal credit terms. In an effort to reduce its credit risk, the Company (i) establishes credit limits for all customers, (ii) performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition, (iii) monitors the payment history and aging of customers’ receivables, and (iv) monitors open orders against an individual customer’s outstanding receivable balance.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses is maintained for trade accounts receivable based on the expected collectability, the historical collection experience, the length of time an account is outstanding, the financial position of the customer and information provided by credit rating services. To date, the Company has not experienced significant customer payment defaults, or identified other significant collectability concerns.

The following is a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021		October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The following table presents the effect of the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and those not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended October 1, 2022:


(In thousands)	Amount of Gain Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss		Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss into Earnings		Location in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income	Amount of Gain Excluded from Effectiveness Testing		Location in Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income

Non-designated foreign currency hedge contracts	$	—	$	—		$	2,463	Interest and other expense, net
Designated interest rate swaps, net of tax	$	2,190	$	(1,030)	Interest and other expense, net	$	—

The Company did not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as of October 1, 2022 or April 2, 2022. As of October 1, 2022, no material deferred taxes were recognized for designated foreign currency hedges.

ASC 815 requires all derivative instruments to be recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using the framework prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, by considering the estimated amount it would receive or pay to sell or transfer these instruments at the reporting date and by taking into account current interest rates, currency exchange rates, current interest rate curves, interest rate volatilities, the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets, and its creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, the Company may utilize financial models to measure fair value. Generally, it uses inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. As of October 1, 2022, the Company has classified its derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 815, as discussed below, because these observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of its derivative instruments.

The following tables present the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments as they appear in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022:


(In thousands)	Location in Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets	As of		As of

Other Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exit price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value guidance establishes the following three-level hierarchy used for measuring fair value:

•Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are other observable inputs, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities and market-corroborated inputs.

•Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based on management’s best estimate of inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.

The Company’s money market funds carried at fair value are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

Fair Value Measured on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the following as of October 1, 2022 and April 2, 2022.

Foreign currency hedge contracts - The fair value of foreign currency hedge contracts was measured using significant other observable inputs and valued by reference to over-the-counter quoted market prices for similar instruments. The Company does not believe that the fair value of these derivative instruments differs significantly from the amount that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a significant effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Interest rate swaps - The fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using the present value of expected future cash flows using market-based observable inputs, including credit risk and interest rate yield curves. The Company does not believe that the fair values of these derivative instruments differ significantly from the amounts that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a significant effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Contingent consideration - The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and is measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the payments expected to be made. Accordingly, the fair value of contingent consideration has been classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The recurring level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration liabilities include the following significant unobservable inputs:

The Term Loan, which is carried at amortized cost, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. The fair value of the 2026 Notes as of October 1, 2022 was $399.2 million, which was determined by using the market price on the last trading day of the reporting period.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that, except for those matters described below, there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it the ultimate resolution of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. At each reporting period, management evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies, for all matters. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts. The subpoena requested certain documents regarding the Company’s apheresis and autotransfusion devices and disposables, including documents relating to product complaints and adverse event reporting, regulatory clearances and product design changes, among other matters. The Company has fully cooperated with this inquiry. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed a motion on behalf of the United States and 31 states reflecting their decision to not intervene in the underlying qui tam action captioned United States ex rel. Berthelot et al. v. Haemonetics Corp., 1:20-cv-11062-ADB, pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, indicating that the DOJ had completed its investigative activity based on then available information. The qui tam case was unsealed by order dated August 18, 2022.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Mary Crumpton, on behalf of herself and similarly situated individuals. See Mary Crumpton v. Haemonetics Corporation, Case No. 1:21-cv-1402. In her complaint, the plaintiff asserts that between June 2017 and August 2018 she donated plasma at a center operated by one of the Company’s customers, that the center required her to scan her finger print in a scanner that stored her finger print to identify her prior to plasma donation, and that the Company’s eQue donor management software sent her biometric information to a Company-owned server to be collected and stored in a manner that violated her rights under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”). The plaintiff seeks statutory damages, attorneys’ fees, and injunctive and equitable relief. In March 2021, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and concurrently filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and a motion to stay. In late March 2022, the court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction but did not address the merits of the Company’s other positions. The Company believes the allegations in this lawsuit are without merit and will defend vigorously against them. The case is still in an early stage and the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and expense at this time.

12. SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE INFORMATION

The Company determines its reportable segments by first identifying its operating segments, and then by assessing whether any components of these segments constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and where segment

management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company’s reporting structure aligns with its operating structure of three global business units and the information that is regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

The Company’s reportable segments are as follows:

•Plasma

•Blood Center

•Hospital

Management measures and evaluates the operating segments based on operating income. Management excludes certain corporate expenses from segment operating income. In addition, certain amounts that management considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from segment operating income because management evaluates the operating results of the segments excluding such items. These items include integration and transaction costs, deal amortization, restructuring and restructuring related costs, impairments, accelerated device depreciation and related costs, costs related to compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (“IVDR”), unusual or infrequent and material litigation-related charges and gains and losses on dispositions and sale of assets. Although these amounts are excluded from segment operating income, as applicable, they are included in the reconciliations that follow. Management measures and evaluates the Company’s net revenues and operating income using internally derived standard currency exchange rates that remain constant from year to year; therefore, segment information is presented on this basis.

Selected information by reportable segment is presented below:

Management reviews revenue based on the reportable segments noted above. Although these reportable segments are primarily product-based, they differ from the Company’s product line revenues for Plasma products and services and Blood Center products and services. Specifically, the Blood Center reportable segment includes plasma products utilized for collection in blood centers primarily for transfusion purposes. Additionally, product line revenues also include service revenues which are excluded from the reportable segments.

Net revenues by product line are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with both our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our annual consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and the MD&A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 2, 2022. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” in this discussion.

Introduction

Haemonetics Corporation is a global healthcare company dedicated to providing a suite of innovative medical products and solutions for customers to help them improve patient care and reduce the cost of healthcare. Our technology addresses important medical markets: blood and plasma component collection, the surgical suite and hospital transfusion services. When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Haemonetics” and the “Company” mean Haemonetics Corporation.

We view our operations and manage our business in three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. For that purpose, “Plasma” includes plasma collection devices and disposables, plasma donor management software, and anticoagulant and saline sold to plasma customers. “Blood Center” includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for red cells, platelets and whole blood. “Hospital”, which is comprised of Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage, Transfusion Management and Vascular Closure products, includes devices and methodologies for measuring coagulation characteristics of blood, surgical blood salvage systems, specialized blood cell processing systems and disposables, blood transfusion management software and vascular closure devices.

We believe that Plasma and Hospital have growth potential, while Blood Center competes in challenging markets that require us to manage the business differently, including reducing costs, shrinking the scope of the current product line, and evaluating opportunities to exit unfavorable customer contracts.

Recent Developments

Share Repurchase Program

In August 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of Haemonetics common stock from time to time, based on market conditions, over the next three years. Subsequent to our announcement of the share repurchase program, in August 2022, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (“ASR”) with Citibank N.A. (“Citibank”) to repurchase $75.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, we paid Citibank $75.0 million in cash and received an initial delivery of 0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock based on a closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on August 16, 2022 of $76.32. This initial delivery of shares represented approximately 80% of the notional amount of the ASR. The ASR was completed in November 2022 and approximately 0.2 million additional shares were delivered upon settlement.

As of October 1, 2022, the total remaining authorization for repurchase of the Company’s common stock was $225 million.

Debt Issuance and Repayment

On July 26, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance the credit facilities under our 2018 credit agreement (as amended from time to time) and extend the applicable maturity date through June 2025. The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $280 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which have been used to retire the balance of the term loan under our 2018 credit agreement, and a $420 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. In September 2022, we amended two prior interest rate swap agreements and entered into certain supplemental interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert between 70% to 80% of borrowings under our Revised Credit Facilities from a variable Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate to a fixed rate of interest through June 2025. In September 2022, we amended two prior interest rate swap agreements and entered into certain supplemental interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert between 70% to 80% of borrowings under our Revised Credit Facilities from a variable Term SOFR rate to a fixed rate of interest through June 2025.

Operational Excellence Program

During fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors approved the revised Operational Excellence Program (the “2020 Program”). The revised program is designed to improve product and service quality, reduce cost principally in our manufacturing and supply chain operations and ensure sustainability while helping to offset impacts from a previously announced customer loss, rising inflationary pressures and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We now expect to incur aggregate charges between $95 million and $105 million by the end of fiscal 2025 and to achieve total gross savings of $115 million to $125 million on an annualized basis once the program is completed. The majority of charges will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, and will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, the Company incurred $3.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program. Total cumulative charges under this program are $62.3 million as of October 1, 2022.

Net revenues increased 24.0% and 19.3% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Without the effect of foreign exchange, net revenues increased 27.0% and 21.9% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Revenue increases in our Plasma and Hospital businesses, primarily related to volume and price, drove the overall increase in revenue during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022.

Operating income increased during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 as compared with the same period of fiscal 2022, primarily due to increased revenues in Plasma and Hospital, savings from the 2020 Program and decreased spending on acquisitions in the current year periods, partially offset by lower revenues in Blood Center, increased freight costs in our global supply chain, increased sales and marketing expense and higher performance-based compensation.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency conversion rate. We have provided this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented.

Our principal operations are in the U.S, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. Our products are marketed in approximately 90 countries around the world through a combination of our direct sales force, independent distributors and agents. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 our revenue generated outside the U.S. was 28.8% and 29.6% of total net revenues, respectively, as compared with 36.6% and 37.4% during the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, respectively. International sales are generally conducted in local currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Euro, Chinese Yuan and Australian Dollars. Our results of operations are impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in the value of the Yen, Euro and Australian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar. We have placed foreign currency hedges to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

Please see the section entitled “Foreign Exchange” in this discussion for a more complete explanation of how foreign currency affects our business and our strategy for managing this exposure.

Plasma

Plasma revenue increased 56.1% and 49.7% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Plasma revenue increased 57.2% and 50.8% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increases during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared with the same period of fiscal 2021 were driven by volume and price.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, we amended our supply agreement with CSL Plasma, Ltd. (“CSL”), which CSL had previously notified us of its intent not to renew and was initially set to expire in June 2022, to allow CSL to continue to use our PCS2 plasma collection system devices and purchase disposable plasmapheresis kits through December 2023. The extension provides CSL the ability to utilize our devices and disposables in their collection centers on a non-exclusive basis and includes an $88.0 million minimum purchase commitment in fiscal 2023.

Blood Center

Blood Center revenue decreased 4.0% and 6.9% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Blood Center revenue increased 0.5% and decreased 3.2% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. The decreases during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022 was primarily driven by a decline in the volume of apheresis disposables.

Hospital

Hospital revenue increased 19.1% and 15.9% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Hospital revenue increased 21.9% and 18.4% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increase during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 was primarily attributable to Vascular Closure revenue, as well as increases in Transfusion Management revenue and TEG disposables revenue.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased 0.4% and decreased 7.5% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Without the effect of foreign exchange, research and development expenses increased 0.8% and decreased 6.9% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. This increase for the three months ended October 1, 2022, was due to continued growth investments. The decrease in the six months ended October 1, 2022, was primarily due to the timing of investments across quarters and cost savings related to the 2020 Program.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 21.9% and 10.6% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. Without the effect of foreign exchange, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 24.4% and 12.4% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increase during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 was primarily driven by inflationary pressures and higher freight costs in our global supply chain, higher investments in sales and marketing and higher performance-based compensation, partially offset by cost savings related to the 2020 Program and decreased acquisition related costs in the current year.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

We recognized amortization expense of $8.2 million and $16.6 million during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, and $11.4 million and $23.8 million during the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, respectively. The decrease is primarily the result of intangible assets that became fully amortized during fiscal 2022.

Gains on Divestiture

We recognized gains on divestiture of $0.4 million during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022 and $9.6 million during the six months ended October 2, 2021.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Interest and other expenses increased 23.6% and 21.8% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same period of fiscal 2022. Without the effects of foreign exchange, interest and other expenses increased 20.7% and 19.5% during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher foreign currency impact due to market and rate volatility and higher interest rates which impacted the interest incurred on our term loan.

Income Taxes

We conduct business globally and report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. Our reported tax rate is impacted by the jurisdictional mix of earnings in any given period as the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate.

For the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, we reported income tax expense of $7.9 million and $13.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 19.1% and 20.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended October 1, 2022, include a discrete tax benefit of $0.5 million related to tax rate changes enacted during the quarter and $0.3 million of discrete tax expense relating to stock compensation shortfalls. The effective tax rate for the three months ended October 1, 2022, include a discrete tax benefit of $0.5 million related to tax rate changes enacted during the quarter and $0.3 million of discrete tax benefit relating to stock compensation windfalls.

For the three and six months ended October 2, 2021, we reported income tax expense of $5.1 million and $6.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 25.4% and 38.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended October 2, 2021 includes discrete tax expense relating to stock compensation shortfalls of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table contains certain key performance indicators we believe depict our liquidity and cash flow position:


(Dollars in thousands)	October 1, 2022		April 2, 2022
Cash & cash equivalents	$	241,200	$	259,496
Working capital	$	453,614	$	313,765
Current ratio	2.7		1.7
Net debt(1)	$	(576,546)	$	(514,093)
Days sales outstanding (DSO)	52		54
Inventory turnover	1.8		1.4

(1)Net debt position is the sum of cash and cash equivalents less total debt.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, internally generated cash flow from operations and our revolving credit facility. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months. Our expected cash outlays relate primarily to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, including enhancements to our North American manufacturing facilities, share repurchases, cash payments under our revised credit agreement and restructuring initiatives.

In March 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026, or the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The total net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs, were approximately $486.7 million. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2026 Notes have an effective interest rate of 0.5% as of October 1, 2022.

As of October 1, 2022, we had $241.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, the majority of which is held in the U.S. or in countries from which it can be repatriated to the U.S. On July 26, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance our prior credit agreement entered into on June 15, 2018, which consisted of a $350.0 million term loan and a $350.0 million revolving loan (together, as amended from time to time, the “2018 Credit Facilities”), and extend the maturity date through June 2025. The amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $280 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which have been used to retire the balance of the term loan under the 2018 Credit Facilities, and a $420 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the “Revised Credit Facilities”). Loans under the Revised Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as specified in the amended and restated credit agreement), which is subject to a floor of 0%, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio (as specified in the amended and restated credit agreement) at the applicable measurement date. Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans are also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum. The revolving credit facility carries an unused fee that ranges from 0.125% to 0.250% annually based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio at the applicable measurement date. Under the Revised Credit Facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in the amended and restated credit agreement as well as other customary non-financial affirmative and negative covenants. The Revised Credit Facilities mature on June 15, 2025. The principal amount of the term loan under the Revised Credit Facilities is repayable quarterly through the maturity date at a rate of 2.5% for the first year and 5% thereafter, with the unpaid balance due at maturity. As of October 1, 2022, $278.3 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 4.2%. There was $50.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility at October 1, 2022, which the Company repaid in full in October 2022. We also had $19.6 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund our global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of October 1, 2022. Additionally, the Company was in compliance with the leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in the amended and restated credit agreement as well as all other bank covenants as of October 1, 2022.

The Company has scheduled principal payments of $8.8 million required during the remainder of fiscal 2023.

During fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors approved a revised 2020 Program. We now estimate that we will incur aggregate charges between $95 million and $105 million in connection with the 2020 Program. These charges, the majority of which will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, we incurred $3.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program.

Cash Flows


	Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	October 1, 2022		October 2, 2021
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	129,032	$	41,780
Investing activities	(89,282)		(36,371)
Financing activities	(49,081)		(4,949)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents(1)	(8,965)		(345)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	$	(18,296)	$	115

(1)The balance sheet is affected by spot exchange rates used to translate local currency amounts into U.S. Dollars. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have removed the effect of foreign currency throughout our cash flow statement, except for its effect on our cash and cash equivalents.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $87.3 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared with the six months ended October 2, 2021. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in net income, a decrease in inventories driven by NexSys PCS device placements and higher other net working capital, including higher performance-based compensation.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $52.9 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared with the six months ended October 2, 2021. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of an increase in capital expenditures, driven by NexSys PCS device placements, and other investments made in the current year period, which was partially offset by increased sales of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $44.1 million during the six months ended October 1, 2022, as compared with the six months ended October 2, 2021, primarily due to share repurchases and acquisition-related contingent consideration payments made in the current year, partially offset by the $50.0 million draw down on the revolving credit facility.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to our large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. Certain markets and industries, however, can expose us to concentrations of credit risk. For example, in the Plasma business unit, sales are concentrated with several large customers. As a result, accounts receivable extended to any one of these biopharmaceutical customers can be significant at any point in time. In addition, a portion of our trade accounts receivable outside the U.S. include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays and local economic conditions. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries’ national economies.

We have not incurred significant losses on receivables. We continually evaluate all receivables for potential collection risks associated with the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices. If the financial condition of customers or the countries’ healthcare systems deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, allowances may be required in future periods.

Inflation

We experienced rising inflationary pressures in our global supply chain that had an impact on our results of operations during the three and six months ended October 1, 2022. We continue to monitor inflationary pressures generally and raw materials indices that may affect our procurement and production costs. Increases in the price of petroleum derivatives could result in corresponding increases in our costs to procure plastic raw materials. We expect the inflationary pressures we have experienced in our global supply chain to continue throughout fiscal 2023. Historically, we have been able to limit the impact of the effects of inflation by improving our manufacturing and purchasing efficiencies, by increasing employee productivity and by adjusting the selling prices of products, but we may not be able to fully mitigate these increases in our operational costs in the future.

Foreign Exchange

During the three and six months ended October 1, 2022, 28.8% and 29.6%, respectively, of our sales were generated outside the U.S., generally in foreign currencies, yet our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency. Our primary foreign currency exposures relate to sales denominated in Euro, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Australian Dollars. We also have foreign currency exposure related to manufacturing and other operational costs denominated in Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit. The Yen, Euro, Yuan and Australian Dollar sales exposure is partially mitigated by costs and expenses for foreign operations and sourcing products denominated in foreign currencies.

Since our foreign currency denominated Yen, Euro, Yuan and Australian Dollar sales exceed the foreign currency denominated costs, whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the Yen, Euro, Yuan or Australian Dollar, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations and, conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to the Yen, Euro, Yuan or Australian Dollar, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. For Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit our primary cash flows relate to product costs or costs and expenses of local operations. Whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to these foreign currencies, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. Conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to these currencies, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have a program in place that is designed to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. We utilize forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen and Euro, and to a lesser extent Swiss Francs, Chinese Yuan and Mexican Pesos. This does not eliminate the volatility of foreign exchange rates, but because we generally enter into forward contracts one year out, rates are fixed for a one-year period, thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The final impact of currency fluctuations on the results of operations is dependent on the local currency amounts hedged and the actual local currency results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are currently no recent accounting pronouncements that we expect to have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference into this report, constitute “forward looking-statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management’s assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “foresees,” “potential” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things: discussions of future operations; expected operating results and financial performance; impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; the Company’s strategy for growth; product development, commercialization and anticipated performance and benefits; regulatory approvals; impacts of acquisitions or dispositions; market position and expenditures.

Because forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding future events, they are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company’s actual results and financial condition could vary materially from expectations and projections expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.

The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements. For further discussion of these and other factors, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

•The effect of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or outbreaks of communicable diseases, on our business, financial conditions and results of operations, including the time it will take for vaccines to be broadly distributed and administered worldwide, and the effectiveness of such vaccines in slowing or stopping the spread of COVID-19 and its

variants and mitigating the economic effects of the pandemic, including inflationary pressures and higher freight costs in our global supply chain;

•Failure to achieve our long-term strategic and financial-improvement goals;

•Demand for and market acceptance risks for new and existing products, including material reductions in purchasing from or loss of a significant customer;

•Our ability to develop, manufacture and market new products and technologies successfully and in a timely manner and the ability of our competitors and other third parties to develop products or technologies that render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete;

•Product quality or safety concerns, leading to product recalls, withdrawals, regulatory action by the FDA (or similar non-U.S. regulatory agencies), reputational damage, declining sales or litigation;

•Our ability to retain and attract key personnel;

•Security breaches of our information technology systems or our products, which could impair our ability to conduct business or compromise sensitive information of the Company or its customers, suppliers and other business partners, or of customers' patients;

•Pricing pressures resulting from trends toward healthcare cost containment, including the continued consolidation among healthcare providers and other market participants;

•The continuity, availability and pricing of plastic and other raw materials, finished goods and components used in the manufacturing of our products (including those purchased from sole-source suppliers) and the related continuity of our manufacturing, sterilization, supply and distribution;

•Our ability to obtain the anticipated benefits of restructuring programs that we have or may undertake, including the Operational Excellence Program;

•The potential that the expected strategic benefits and opportunities from completed or planned acquisitions, divestitures or other strategic investments by the Company may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

•The impact of enhanced requirements to obtain regulatory approval in the U.S. and around the world and the associated timing and cost of product approval;

•Our ability to comply with established and developing U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory requirements, including FCPA, EU MDR/EU IVDR and similar laws in other jurisdictions, as well as U.S. and foreign export and import restrictions and tariffs;

•Our ability to meet our debt obligations and raise additional capital when desired on terms reasonably acceptable to us;

•The potential impact of our convertible senior notes and related capped call transactions;

•Geopolitical and economic conditions in China, Russia and other foreign jurisdictions where we do business;

•Our ability to execute and realize anticipated benefits from our investments in emerging economies;

•The potential effect of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations on our net sales, expenses, and resulting margins;

•The impact of changes in U.S. and international tax laws;

•Our ability to protect intellectual property and the outcome of patent litigation;

•Costs and risks associated with product liability and other litigation claims we may be subject to now or in the future; and

•Market conditions impacting our stock price and/or our share repurchase program, and the possibility that such share repurchase program may be delayed, suspended or discontinued.

Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the risks described above and in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. The Company does not undertake to publicly update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information or future events or developments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure relative to market risk is due to foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

See the section above entitled Foreign Exchange for a discussion of how foreign currency affects our business. It is our policy to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by using derivative financial instruments known as forward contracts to hedge anticipated cash flows from forecasted foreign currency denominated sales and costs. We do not use the financial instruments for speculative or trading activities.

We estimate the change in the fair value of all forward contracts assuming both a 10% strengthening and weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to all other major currencies. As of October 1, 2022, in the event of a 10% strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, the change in fair value of all forward contracts would result in a $3.1 million increase in the fair value of the forward contracts; whereas a 10% weakening of the U.S. Dollar would result in a $3.4 million decrease of the fair value of the forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates is associated with borrowings under our credit facilities, all of which is variable rate debt. Total outstanding debt under our Revised Credit Facilities as of October 1, 2022 was $278.3 million with an interest rate of 4.2% based on prevailing Term SOFR rates. An increase of 100 basis points in Term SOFR rates would result in additional annual interest expense of $0.8 million. In September 2022, we modified our two existing interest rate swaps to align to Term SOFR rather than LIBOR and entered into four additional interest rate swaps to effectively convert $194.8 million of borrowings under our Revised Credit Facilities from a variable rate to a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation, as of October 1, 2022, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of October 1, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended October 1, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
