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 March 28, 2026. 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. When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Haemonetics” and the “Company” mean Haemonetics Corporation.
Introduction
Haemonetics is a global medical technology company dedicated to improving the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of health care. Our innovative solutions addressing critical medical needs include a suite of hospital technologies designed to advance standards of care and help enhance outcomes for patients; end-to-end plasma collection technologies to optimize operations for plasma centers; and products to enable blood centers to collect in-demand blood components.
We view our operations and manage our business in two reporting segments: Apheresis and MedSurg. For that purpose, “Apheresis” includes plasma collection devices and disposables for plasma, red cells and platelets, donor management software and supporting software solutions sold to plasma customers, blood collection and processing devices. “MedSurg” is comprised of Interventional Technologies, which includes Vascular Closure, Sensor-Guided Technologies and Esophageal Protection product lines, and Blood Management Technologies, which includes Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage and Transfusion Management product lines.
Recent Developments
Segment Organization Realignment
On June 5, 2026, we implemented an organizational realignment designed to align our commercial operations into two global reportable segments by combining the previously reported Plasma and Blood Center reportable segments into Apheresis and renaming the Hospital reportable segment to MedSurg. This organizational structure reflects how the Company is organized to manage operations, allocate resources and evaluate performance.
Revolving Credit Facility Repayment
In connection with the settlement of the convertible senior notes due in 2026, we borrowed $300.0 million under our revolving credit facility pursuant to our second amended and restated credit agreement. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we repaid $50.0 million of the outstanding amount under the revolving credit facility. As of June 27, 2026, $250.0 million remained outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, we repaid an additional $50.0 million on the revolving credit facility.

Income before provision for income taxes $ 47,574 $ 45,169 5.3 %
Provision for income taxes $ 14,564 $ 11,138 30.8 %
% of pre-tax income 30.6 % 24.7 %
Net income $ 33,010 $ 34,031 (3.0) %
% of net revenues 9.7 % 10.6 %
Net income per share – basic $ 0.73 $ 0.71 2.8 %
Net income per share – diluted $ 0.72 $ 0.70 2.9 %
Net revenues increased 5.6% during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared with the same period of fiscal 2026. This was primarily attributable to revenue increases in Apheresis, driven by volume growth and share gains within the Plasma franchise, and revenue increases in MedSurg, driven by share gains in the Hemostasis Management and Transfusion Management product lines within the Blood Management Technologies franchise.
Operating income increased 6.7% during the three months ended June 27, 2026 as compared with the same period of fiscal 2026. The increase during the three months ended June 27, 2026 was primarily due to favorable product mix across all business units, as well as decreased amortization of fair value inventory step-up related to the acquisition of Advanced Cooling Therapy, Inc., d/b/a Attune Medical (“Attune Medical”).
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 United States, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. We market and sell our products in approximately 90 countries through a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors. During the three months ended June 27, 2026, our revenue generated outside the U.S. was 24.0% of total net revenues, as compared with 24.6% during the three months ended June 28, 2025. International sales are generally conducted in local currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Euro and Chinese Yuan. Our results of operations are impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in the value of the Yen, Euro and Yuan, relative to the U.S. Dollar. We have placed foreign currency hedges on certain foreign currencies 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.

Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
We recognized amortization expense related to our acquired intangible assets of $10.2 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared with $11.4 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized or being impaired during fiscal 2026.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net increased by $1.2 million during the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared with the same period of fiscal 2026. The increase was primarily due to increase interest expense resulting from the borrowing of the revolving credit facility, partially offset by additional gains recognized on the previously held equity interest in Vivasure Medical Limited (“Vivasure”).
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 differs from the statutory tax rate due to 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. Our effective tax rate is adversely impacted by non-deductible expenses including executive compensation and is favorably impacted by the jurisdictional mix of earnings and research credits generated.
For the three months ended June 27, 2026, we reported income tax expense of $14.6 million, representing an effective tax rate of 30.6%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2026 includes $1.7 million of discrete tax expense, primarily related to stock compensation shortfalls and valuation allowance impacts related to losses in certain recently acquired jurisdictions.
For the three months ended June 28, 2025, we reported income tax expense of $11.1 million, representing an effective tax rate of 24.7%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2025 includes $0.1 million of discrete tax expense, primarily related to stock compensation shortfalls.
The increase in the reported tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2026, compared to the same period in fiscal 2026, relates primarily to the increase in net stock compensation shortfalls and the impact of losses incurred in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was recognized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Resources
The following table contains certain key performance indicators we believe depict our liquidity and cash flow position:
June 27, 2026 March 28, 2026
(Dollars in Thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents $ 223,384 $ 245,440
Availability under revolving credit facilities(1) $ 498,697 $ 448,697
Working capital $ 547,597 $ 552,280
Current ratio 3.1 3.0
Net debt position(2) $ (950,774) $ (979,140)
Days sales outstanding 57 56
Inventory turnover 1.6 1.5
__________
(1) Availability under our revolving credit facilities is reduced by borrowings on the revolving credit facilities of $250.0 million as of June 27, 2026 and by eligible outstanding letters of credit allowable of $1.3 million as of June 27, 2026 and March 28, 2026, respectively.
(2) 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 senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term cash requirements, including our 2.5% convertible senior notes due in 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), and our senior unsecured term loan. Our expected cash outlays relate primarily to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, share repurchases, our ongoing market and regional alignment initiative, and payments of principal and interest under our credit facilities.

Table of Contents
As of June 27, 2026, we had $223.4 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.
Convertible Senior Notes
As of June 27, 2026, the $700.0 million principal balance of the 2029 Notes was netted down by $10.4 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $689.6 million. The 2029 Notes will mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of June 27, 2026, the 2029 Notes were not convertible. Interest expense related to the 2029 Notes was $5.2 million for the three months ended June 27, 2026, which includes nominal interest expense and the amortization of the debt issuance costs. For further discussion on the 2029 Notes, refer to Note 12, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt within these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Credit Facilities
On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance its credit facilities initially entered into in 2022 and extended their maturity date through April 2029. The second amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, and a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the “2024 Revised Credit Facilities”). Loans under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as specified in the second 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 second amended and restated credit agreement) at the applicable measurement date. 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. The 2024 Revised Credit Facilities mature on April 30, 2029. The principal amount of the term loan under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities amortizes quarterly through the maturity date at a rate of 2.5% for the first three years following the closing date, 5.0% for the fourth year following the closing date and 7.5% for the fifth year following the closing date, with the unpaid balance due at maturity.
As of June 27, 2026, $237.5 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 5.7%. In connection with the settlement of the convertible notes due in 2026, we borrowed $300.0 million under the revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we repaid $50.0 million of the outstanding amount under the revolving credit facility, and as of June 27, 2026, $250.0 million remained outstanding under the revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company repaid an additional $50.0 million on the revolving credit facility.
We also had $17.5 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund its global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of June 27, 2026.
We have scheduled principal payments of $6.3 million required during the remainder of fiscal 2027 related to our term loan.
2025 Share Repurchase Program
In April 2025, our Board approved a new three-year share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of our common stock, based on market conditions, through April 2028. During fiscal 2026, the Company repurchased 3,009,834 shares for $175.0 million at an average price per share upon settlement of $58.14. As of June 27, 2026, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program was $325.0 million.
Market and Regional Alignment Initiative
In May 2025, our Board approved a new market and regional alignment initiative and delegated authority to management to determine the details of the specific actions that will comprise the initiative. This strategic initiative is designed to improve operational performance and reduce costs by directing our resources toward the markets and geographies that offer the greatest growth and portfolio advancement opportunities. During the three months ended June 27, 2026, we incurred restructuring and restructuring related costs of $2.3 million under this initiative. Total cumulative charges under the market and regional alignment initiative are $7.9 million as of June 27, 2026. The amounts and timing of estimated costs and savings are subject to change until finalized. The actual amounts and timing may vary materially based on various factors.

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.
