IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 1, 2011.
Masimos total third quarter revenue, including royalties, rose 3% to $104.0 million, compared to $101.0 million for 2010s third quarter. The companys third quarter product revenue rose 10% to $97.6 million, compared to $88.8 million for the third quarter of 2010. For the third quarter of 2011, the companys worldwide end-user business grew 18%, while OEM sales were down 20%. Revenue from Masimo rainbow products declined 35% to $7.8 million in the quarter, compared to $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2010 when Masimo received an approximately $4 million rainbow order from the U.S. Marine Corps.
Net income for the third quarter was $14.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to reported net income of $16.4 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010, which included $0.01 per diluted share in one-time expenses.
During the third quarter, the company shipped approximately 33,400 Masimo SET pulse oximetry and Masimo rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry units, excluding handheld units, down 11% compared to approximately 37,500 in the same prior year period. Masimo estimates its worldwide installed base as of October 1, 2011 to be 950,000 units, up 16% from 821,000 units as of October 2, 2010.
As of October 1, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were $143.2 million, compared to $88.3 million as of January 1, 2011.
Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "Masimo product revenue grew 10% in the period as strong SET performance was partially offset by declines in rainbow and OEM revenue. The 18% rise in our end-user, or direct, business was fueled by strong performance from our U.S. acute care business and even stronger performance from our international business. While we are disappointed with total rainbow revenue in the quarter, we remain confident in the power of rainbow parameters such as SpHb and RAM, which experienced strong year-over-year adhesive sensor unit and revenue growth in the quarter. We expect rainbow to not only help improve the quality and cost of patient care, but to be a catalyst for Masimo's revenue growth over the long term."
Revised Financial Guidance
Masimo now expects fiscal 2011 total revenue to be between $436 million and $439 million, including product revenue between $404 million and $407 million, and royalty revenue between $31.5 million and $32.5 million. Included within the revised 2011 product revenue range is a rainbow revenue expectation of $33 million to $35 million. The company now expects fiscal 2011 GAAP earnings per share to be between $1.04 and $1.06. Each of the components of Masimos 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 carehelping 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 demonstrate Masimo SET provides the most reliable SpO2 and pulse rate measurements 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 required invasive procedures, 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). In 2008, Masimo introduced Patient SafetyNet, a remote monitoring and wireless clinician notification system designed to help hospitals avoid preventable deaths and injuries associated with failure to rescue events. In 2009, Masimo introduced rainbow Acoustic Monitoring, the first-ever noninvasive and continuous monitoring of acoustic respiration rate (RRa). Masimos rainbow SET technology platform offers a breakthrough in patient safety by helping clinicians detect life-threatening conditions and helping guide treatment options. In 2010, Masimo acquired SEDLine®, a pioneer in the development of innovative brain function monitoring technology and devices. Masimo SET and Masimo rainbow SET technologies can also be found in over 100 multiparameter patient monitors from over 50 medical device manufacturers around the world. Founded in 1989, Masimo has the mission of "Improving Patient Outcomes and Reducing Cost of Care ... by Taking Noninvasive Monitoring to New Sites and Applications®."
