Haemonetics Reports 3^rd Quarter and Year-to-Date Fiscal 2017 Results and Updates Full Year Fiscal 2017 Guidance

Braintree, MA, February 6, 2017 - Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) reported third quarter fiscal 2017 revenue of $227.8 million, down 2% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2016 as reported, and down 1% in constant currency.

The Company reported net income of $15.4 million or $0.30 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with a net loss of $59.4 million or $1.17 loss per share in the same quarter of fiscal 2016 which included $80.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment and other charges. Adjusted net income was $22.5 million and adjusted earnings per share were $0.43, down 9% and 10%, respectively, compared with the prior year third quarter.

For the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 revenue was $658.1 million, down 1% as reported and flat in constant currency compared to the same prior year period. The Company reported year to date net income of $24.9 million or $0.48 per share in fiscal 2017. Adjusted net income was $58.9 million or $1.14 per share, both down 10% compared with the same prior year period.

Christopher Simon, Haemonetics’ CEO, stated: “Through the first three quarters of fiscal 2017 we achieved our revenue, profit and cost reduction objectives. Results are in line with our expectations and we are confident that our full year 2017 results will be at the high end of our previous guidance ranges.

“We have embarked upon a multi-year journey consisting of three broad phases: stabilizing, transforming and accelerating growth. We have achieved our objective of stabilizing the company and have taken steps to right-size our cost base. We are establishing a culture of delivering on commitments and we are on track to exceed our $40 million fiscal 2017 savings target.”

THIRD QUARTER REVENUE

Plasma

Plasma revenue was $108.7 million, up $8.1 million or 8% over the prior year third quarter and up 9% in constant currency. Plasma disposables revenue, excluding saline and sodium citrate solutions, grew 5% in constant currency and 8% in North America due to Plasma collection volume strength, reflecting robust end user markets for plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals, as well as customer order timing. Outside North America, plasma collection growth was strong in Japan and weak in EMEA.

Hospital: Hemostasis Management

Hemostasis Management revenue was $16.9 million as reported, up $2.3 million or 15% over the prior year third quarter and up 19% in constant currency. TEG disposables revenue was up 12% as reported and up 15% in constant currency, with strong growth in the U.S. and China.

The TEG 6s accounted for a meaningful part of Hemostasis Management revenue and was a major contributor of its revenue growth in the third quarter, largely in the U.S., EMEA and Australia. The TEG family of products - TEG 5000, TEG 6s and TEG Manager™ software - remains well positioned for continued revenue growth, consistent with the Company’s long term outlook.

Hospital: Cell Salvage & Transfusion Management

Cell Salvage and Transfusion Management revenue was $25.9 million, down $1.8 million or 7% versus the prior year third quarter and down 3% in constant currency. The revenue decline resulted primarily from prior year customer order timing for Cell Saver and OrthoPAT disposables, partly offset by BloodTrack software growth in the U.K.

Blood Center

Blood Center revenue was $76.4 million, down $14.1 million or 16% versus the prior year third quarter and down 14% in constant currency.

Platelet disposables revenue was $29.5 million, down 23% versus the prior year third quarter and down 21% in constant currency. A continued market shift toward double dose collections in Japan, and a market shift toward pooled platelet collections in EMEA, drove the decline.

Red cell disposables revenue was $7.4 million, down 19% with no notable effect from currency. Lower volume, as well as pricing changes associated with previously announced U.S. customer contracts, accounted for the declines.

Whole blood disposables revenue was $29.2 million, down 3% and down 2% in constant currency. Declines in the U.S. whole blood collection market continued, though at a moderate rate.

Blood Center software, equipment, service and other revenue was $10.2 million, down 19% both as reported and in constant currency, attributable to the prior year expiration and non-renewal of a U.S. government software contract.

OPERATING RESULTS

Third quarter fiscal 2017 gross margin on a GAAP basis was 44.4%, down 220 basis points compared with the prior year third quarter. The decline was attributable to inventory charges, reduced pricing in U.S. red cells and product mix. Productivity drove benefits that mitigated the decline.

Operating expenses on a GAAP basis were $79.9 million and $170.0 million in the third quarters of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recorded $80.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment and other charges in the prior year’s third quarter. Restructuring and turnaround expenses and deal amortization decreased by $1.8 million to $13.1 million versus $14.9 million in the prior year third quarter.

Adjusted operating expenses were $66.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, down $8.3 million or 11%, as benefit was realized from cost reduction initiatives implemented earlier in fiscal 2017 and improved prioritization of investments.

Third quarter GAAP operating income was $21.2 million in fiscal 2017 compared with a net operating loss of $61.2 million in fiscal 2016. Third quarter adjusted operating income was $34.7 million, down 1% versus the third quarter of the prior year, and included approximately $5 million of inventory charges.

The GAAP income tax expense was 18.7% of third quarter fiscal 2017 pre-tax income and 6.1% of the third quarter fiscal 2016 pre-tax loss. The income tax provisions were 30.5% and 25.0% of adjusted pre-tax income in the third quarters of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively, reflecting an adjustment to the fiscal 2017 year to date tax rate attributable to a geographic income shift.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash on hand was $130 million, an increase of $15 million during the first three quarters of fiscal 2017. The Company utilized $72 million of cash for debt repayments and $26 million of cash, less $8 million of cash tax benefits, for restructuring and turnaround initiatives. Year to date fiscal 2017 free cash flow was $66 million, inclusive of the aforementioned net restructuring funding requirements, and $85 million before such funding.

RESTRUCTURING AND TURNAROUND EXPENSES AND DEAL AMORTIZATION

The Company has been implementing a turnaround plan to optimize growth and profitability. For fiscal 2017, that plan includes repositioning of the Company’s organization and cost structure. The plan initially included, in fiscal 2017, charges and expenses expected to total $26 million pre-tax or $18 million net of tax benefit, or $0.35 per share impact on fiscal 2017 GAAP earnings. Certain additional charges and benefits were subsequently identified. In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $7 million of such expenses pre-tax, or approximately $0.09 per share. In the three quarters of fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $27 million of such expenses pre-tax, or $18 million net of tax benefit, approximately $0.35 per share.

The Company excludes acquisition related amortization expenses from adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share. Excluded from third quarter pre-tax adjusted earnings were $6.5 million in fiscal 2017 and $7.4 million in fiscal 2016, or $0.09 and $0.10 per share, respectively. Excluded from year-to-date pre-tax adjusted earnings were $20.6 million in fiscal 2017 and $22.2 million in fiscal 2016, or $0.29 and $0.30 per share, respectively.

Fiscal 2017 Guidance

The Company updated its fiscal 2017 guidance ranges, including 1.7% impact of having one less week in fiscal 2017 than in fiscal 2016, as summarized in the table which follows:

Haemonetics Corporation Financial Summary
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Haemonetics has presented supplemental non-GAAP financial measures as part of this earnings release. A reconciliation is provided below that reconciles each non-GAAP financial measure with the most comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. There are material limitations to the usefulness of non-GAAP measures on a standalone basis, including the lack of comparability to the GAAP financial results of other companies.

These measures are used by management to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. Performance targets for management are established based upon these non-GAAP measures. In the reconciliations below, we have removed restructuring, turnaround and other costs from our GAAP expenses. Our restructuring and turnaround costs for the periods reported are principally related to employee severance and retention, product line simplification, accelerated depreciation and other costs associated with the fiscal 2017 restructuring initiative announced May 9, 2016.

In addition to restructuring and turnaround costs, we are reporting non-GAAP earnings before deal amortization and asset impairments.

We believe this information is useful to investors because it allows for an evaluation of the Company with a focus on the performance of our core operations.
