Haemonetics Reports 2^nd Quarter Results and Raises Fiscal 2018 Guidance;

Launches Strategic Initiative

Braintree, MA, November 7, 2017 - Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) reported financial results for its second quarter and first half fiscal 2018 ended September 30, 2017:



	2nd Quarter 2018	1st Half 2018
Revenue	$225 million, +2.3%	$436 million, +1.4%
Net income per diluted share	$0.38	$0.76
Adjusted net income per diluted share	$0.48	$0.82
Cash flow from operating activities	$ 59 million	$ 97 million
Free cash flow before restructuring and turnaround	$ 46 million	$75 million

Second quarter and first half fiscal 2018 revenue growth was negatively impacted by $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, as a result of the recent divestiture of the SEBRA line of benchtop and hand held sealers.

Chris Simon, Haemonetics’ CEO, stated: “In the first half of fiscal 2018, we grew revenue 1.4% and adjusted net income 18%. Our turnaround is on track, our strategy is working and we are raising our fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow guidance. We are launching a comprehensive Complexity Reduction Initiative to further improve our productivity and allow us to intensify the investments we are making to fuel our growth.”

GAAP RESULTS

Second quarter fiscal 2018 revenue of $225.4 million was up 2.3% and first half fiscal 2018 revenue of $436.3 million was up 1.4%, compared to the same periods of fiscal 2017. Reported business unit revenue and revenue growth rates versus the prior fiscal year periods were as follows ($ million):



	2nd Quarter 2018		1st Half 2018
Plasma	$109.8	6.0%	$211.3	5.0%
Hospital	$43.9	3.5%	$87.8	4.8%

Hospital: Cell Processing	$25.8	(0.7)%	$52.1	0.1%
Blood Center	$71.7	(3.4)%	$137.3	(5.5)%

Second quarter fiscal 2018 gross margin was 46.4%, down 90 bps as compared with the same quarter of the prior year. Operating expenses were $80.3 million, up $0.9 million or 1.1%. Approximately $5.6 million and $1.6 million of restructuring and turnaround costs were included in operating expenses in the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. Operating income was $24.3 million, down $0.5 million or 2.2%, while operating margin was 10.8%, down 50 bps as compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2017. Second quarter fiscal 2018 net income was $20.1 million, up 1.4% over the prior year quarter, and the Company reported earnings per diluted share of $0.38 in the second quarters of the current and prior fiscal years.

ADJUSTED RESULTS

On a constant currency basis, revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was up 2.1% over the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and up 1.5% over the first half of fiscal 2017. Business unit revenue growth rates in constant currency versus the prior fiscal year periods were as follow:



	2nd Quarter 2018	1st Half 2018
Plasma	5.7%	5.0%
Hospital	3.4%	5.1%
Hospital: Hemostasis Management	10.4%	13.4%
Hospital: Cell Processing	(0.8)%	0.4%
Blood Center	(3.8)%	(5.4)%

Plasma revenue growth was negatively impacted by $1.8 million in the second quarter or 1.8%, as a result of the recent divestiture of the SEBRA line of benchtop and hand held sealers. The Company reported 7% growth in Plasma disposables revenue in North America in the second quarter, including strong disposables growth partially offset by declines in Plasma liquid solutions revenue.

In the second quarter, adjusted gross margin was 46.5%, down 90 bps as compared with the same quarter of the prior year, reflecting the impact of manufacturing challenges. Adjusted operating expenses were $68.2 million, down $2.7 million or 3.7%. Adjusted operating income was $36.5 million, up $3.1 million or 9.3%, while operating margin was 16.2%, up 100 bps as compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2017.

Second quarter adjusted net income was $25.7 million, up $2.1 million or 9.1%, and adjusted earnings per share was $0.48, up 4.3% versus $0.46 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

Cash on hand at the end of the first half of fiscal 2018 was $203.6 million, an increase of $64.1 million. First half fiscal 2018 free cash flow was $69.5 million, including net restructuring and turnaround funding requirements, and $75.3 million before such funding. In fiscal 2017, first half free cash flow was $28.5 million, including net restructuring and turnaround funding requirements, and $41.3 million before such funding.

RESTRUCTURING AND TURNAROUND EXPENSES, DEAL AMORTIZATION AND GAIN ON DIVESTITURE

The Company incurred $5.8 million of restructuring and turnaround expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and $1.6 million of such expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Deal amortization expenses of $6.5 million and $7.0 million were recorded in the second quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. In the first halves of fiscal 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred $8.3 million and $20.4 million, respectively, of restructuring and turnaround expenses. First half deal amortization expenses were $13.0 million in fiscal 2018 and $14.1 million in fiscal 2017.

Restructuring and turnaround expenses and deal amortization expenses were excluded from the computation of adjusted earnings. Also excluded from first half fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings was a gain of $8.0 million, or $0.09 per share, realized upon the divestiture of the Company’s SEBRA line of benchtop and hand held sealers.

FISCAL 2018 GUIDANCE

Fiscal 2018 revenue is expected to approximate fiscal 2017 revenue, consistent with previous guidance, and business unit revenue growth guidance is unchanged: Plasma 3-5%, Hospital 7-10% and Blood Center (7-10%).

The Company expects a high single-digit growth rate for Plasma disposables in North America. Based on first half performance, the Company is raising its fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings and free cash flow guidance:



	Original	Revised
Operating Margin (GAAP)	10 - 11%	7 - 8%
Earnings per Share (GAAP)	Not provided	$1.05 - $1.15
Adjusted Operating Margin	13 - 14%	14 - 15%
Adjusted Earnings per Share	$1.55 - $1.65	$1.65 - $1.75
Free Cash Flow, Before Restructuring & Turnaround	$35 - $55 million	~ $100 million

The Company expects implied second half fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings per share growth to be lower in the third fiscal quarter than in the fourth quarter. The fiscal 2018 guidance ranges provided include anticipated investments:



	Original	Revised
Capital expenditures	$55 - 65 million	$40 - 50 million
Operating expenses, net of tax benefit	15 - 25 million	15 - 25 million
Investments	$70 - 90 million	$55 - 75 million

On an after-tax basis, operating expense investments represent $0.40-$0.50 earnings per share.

STRATEGIC INITIATIVE

The Company announced its Complexity Reduction Initiative, a strategic restructuring effort designed to improve operational performance and reduce cost, freeing up resources to invest in accelerated growth. It is a comprehensive, global program that is looking at all aspects of the cost base and an important next step in the Company’s multi-year, multi-phase turnaround.

Mr. Simon commented: “These are purposeful actions to streamline the way we work and enable us to better serve our customers, pursue our growth priorities and create an engaging and results-driven culture.”

The Company plans to invest savings in growth areas such as the launch of NexSys PCS, clinical trials for hospital-based products, manufacturing capacity for equipment and disposables, additional sales and clinical representatives, and employee development.

The majority of the savings generated by this restructuring program are expected to come from cost reductions such as direct materials, indirect spending, facilities and freight. The remainder is expected to come from the reduction of approximately 350 positions globally, which will be accomplished primarily through voluntary and involuntary separations. The workforce reduction will exclude certain identified critical roles in direct selling and clinical support, hourly plant workers and employees involved in critical, time bound projects, as the Company remains committed to ensuring effective ongoing business operations and strong customer service. The headcount actions will be communicated and acted upon by the end of fiscal 2018.

The program is expected to be completed over the next 30 months and to deliver $80 million in annual run rate savings by the end of fiscal 2020. Savings from the program are expected to be minimal in fiscal 2018. The Company expects to incur restructuring charges of $50-$60 million, which will be excluded from adjusted earnings.

MANAGEMENT’S USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

Management uses non-GAAP measures to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets, and forecast future results. In this release, supplemental non-GAAP measures have been provided to assist investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s core operations. When used in this release, constant currency measures the change in revenue using a constant currency conversion rate.

Adjusted net income and earnings per share also exclude gains and losses on asset dispositions. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. Reconciliations of these measures to their most comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of the financial sections of this press release as well as on the Company’s website at www.haemonetics.com.

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 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, asset impairments and gain on divestiture.

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.
