Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended January 3, 2015.

Fourth quarter 2014 product revenues rose 14% to $153.9 million, compared to $134.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, and total revenue, including royalties, rose 14% to $161.8 million, up from $142.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. The unfavorable effect of foreign currency movements adversely impacted fourth quarter product revenues by approximately $3.4 million.

The company's worldwide direct product revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014 rose by 14% compared to the same period in 2013 and represented 86% of total product revenue. OEM sales, which accounted for 14% of total product revenue, rose by 18% compared to the same period in 2013. Revenue from sales of Masimo rainbow® products declined by 4% to $14.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $14.8 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $21.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to net income of $9.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth quarter 2013 results were negatively impacted by $0.15 per diluted share charges related to selected inventory and equipment write-downs, as well as an arbitration award ruling that was subsequently vacated on appeal and reversed in the first quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the company shipped approximately 44,100 SET® pulse oximetry and rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry™ units, excluding handheld units. Masimo estimates its worldwide installed base as of January 3, 2015 to be 1,313,000 units, up 9% from 1,205,000 units as of December 28, 2013.

Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "We are happy that the fourth quarter product revenue growth reflected a continuation of the recovery in our core business that began in the third quarter. I am also happy that our value engineering efforts are, as we expected, continuing to result in higher sequential gross profit margins. Both of these factors, coupled with our continued focus on overall operating expense control, have begun to show the operating leverage opportunity that exists within our business model."

As of January 3, 2015, Masimo's cash and cash equivalents were $134.5 million, compared to $95.5 million as of December 28, 2013. During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 27,659 shares of stock for $0.6 million, resulting in total 2014 stock repurchases of approximately 4.5 million shares for $102.5 million.

2015 Financial Guidance
Masimo today is providing 2015 financial guidance. Due to the significant movement in foreign exchange rates over the last four months, and the assumption that those rates will continue throughout 2015, Masimo is, for the first time, providing an estimate of the impact of these foreign exchange rates on its 2015 GAAP financial guidance. Masimo expects fiscal 2015 GAAP total revenues to be approximately $605 million. Masimo expects fiscal 2015 GAAP total product revenues to be $577 million, including an estimated $20 million revenue reduction due to unfavorable 2015 foreign exchange rate assumptions impacting product revenues compared to 2014 actual foreign exchange rates. In addition, Masimo expects approximately $28 million in fiscal 2015 royalty revenues. Masimo also expects fiscal 2015 GAAP earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.30, including an estimated $0.15 reduction due to the more unfavorable 2015 foreign exchange rate assumptions impacting revenues, cost of sales and operating expenses compared to the 2014 actual foreign exchange rates. Masimo will provide additional financial information during the conference call today. Each of the components of Masimo's guidance set forth above is an estimate only and actual performance could differ.

About Masimo
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is the global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care-helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In 1995, the company debuted Measure-Through-Motion and Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET®, which virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies have shown that Masimo SET® outperforms other pulse oximetry technologies, even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow SET® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb®), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), methemoglobin (SpMet®), and Pleth Variability Index (PVI®), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI).
