Impact of Adoption of New Revenue Accounting Standard:

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue (Topic 606): Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). The Company’s adoption of ASU 2014-09 generally resulted in (a) the acceleration of when the Company recognizes certain revenue, and (b) the deferral of certain incremental costs associated with obtaining a customer contract. In accordance with the full retrospective method of adoption for ASU 2014-09, the Company has adjusted certain amounts previously reported in its condensed consolidated financial statements to comply with the new standard, as indicated by the notation, “As Adjusted”. For additional information with respect to the impact of the adoption of this new accounting standard and reconciliations to the prior reported amounts, please reference Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements that will be included in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1) and 15(a)(2), respectively, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 29, 2018 that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about February 26, 2019.

Impact of Adoption of New Lease Accounting Standard:

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard for leases, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 842, Leases (ASC 842). This standard will become effective for the Company on December 30, 2018. The Company is continuing to evaluate the expected impact of ASC 842 on its consolidated financial statements, but anticipates that, among other things, the required recognition by a lessee of a lease liability and related right-of-use asset for operating leases will increase both the assets and liabilities recognized and reported on its balance sheet as of the adoption date. In addition, ASC 842 will also change the classification of certain leases for which the Company is the lessor, resulting in the acceleration of revenue under certain contracts, as well as the immediate expensing of certain costs that are currently deferred and expensed over the life of the lease. The Company is continuing to evaluate the available practical expedients and its adoption method for this new standard.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude the items described below. Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results. Furthermore, management also believes that these items are not indicative of the Company’s on-going core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the Company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the Company may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP measures to assist investors in understanding the Company’s core net operating results on an on-going basis: (i) constant currency product revenue growth %, (ii) non-GAAP net income, (iii) non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, (iv) non-GAAP gross profit/margin, (v) non-GAAP operating income/margin, (vi) non-GAAP product net income, (vii) non-GAAP product diluted earnings per share, (viii) non-GAAP product gross profit/margin, (ix) non-GAAP product operating income/margin and (x) adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in making comparisons of the Company’s core operating results with those of other companies. Management believes non-GAAP product revenue growth %, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA are important measures in the evaluation of the Company’s performance and uses these measures to better understand and evaluate our business.

The non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for the following items, as well as the related income tax effects thereof:

Constant currency adjustments.

Some of our sales agreements with foreign customers provide for payment in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, when converted into U.S. Dollars, can vary significantly from period to period depending on the average and quarter-end exchange rates during a respective period. We believe that comparing these foreign currency denominated revenues by holding the exchange rates constant with the prior year period is useful to management and investors in evaluating our product revenue growth rates on a period-to-period basis. We anticipate that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the related constant currency adjustments for calculation of our product revenue growth rate will continue to occur in future periods.

Acquisition-related costs, including depreciation and amortization.

Depreciation and amortization related to the revaluation of assets and liabilities (primarily intangible assets, property, plant and equipment adjustments, inventory revaluation, lease liabilities, etc.) to fair value through purchase accounting related to value created by the seller prior to the acquisition rather than ongoing costs of operating our core business. As a result, we believe that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors a more effective means of evaluating historical performance and projected costs and the potential for realizing cost efficiencies within our core business. Depreciation and amortization related to the revaluation of acquisition related assets and liabilities will generally recur in future periods.

Litigation damages, awards and settlements.

In connection with litigation proceedings arising in the course of our business, we have recorded expenses as a defendant in such proceedings in the form of damages, as well as gains as a plaintiff in such proceedings in the form of litigation awards and settlement proceeds. We believe that exclusion of these gains and losses is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. In this regard, we note that these expenses and gains are generally unrelated to our core business and/or infrequent in nature.

Realized and unrealized gains or losses from foreign currency transactions.

We are exposed to foreign currency gains or losses on outstanding foreign currency denominated receivables and payables related to certain customer sales agreements, product costs and other operating expenses. As the Company does not actively hedge these currency exposures, changes in the underlying currency rates relative to the U.S. Dollar may result in realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses between the time these receivables and payables arise and the time that they are settled in cash. Since such realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses are the result of macro-economic factors and can vary significantly from one period to the next, we believe that exclusion of such realized and unrealized gains and losses are useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. Realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses are likely to recur in future periods.

Excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.

Current authoritative accounting guidance requires that excess tax benefits or costs recognized on stock-based compensation expense be reflected in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital. Since we cannot control or predict when stock option awards will be exercised or the price at which such awards will be exercised, the impact of such guidance can create significant volatility in our effective tax rate from one period to the next. We believe that exclusion of these excess tax benefits or costs is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. These excess tax benefits or costs will generally recur in future periods as long as we continue to issue equity awards to our employees.

Tax impacts that may not be representative of the ongoing results of our core operations.

From time to time, we record tax benefits relating to the derecognition of uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statutes of limitations. We believe that exclusion of the tax benefit resulting from the expiration of certain statutes of limitations related to non-recurring transactions is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. In this regard, we note that this tax item is unrelated to our core business and non-recurring in nature.

About Masimo

Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI) is a global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care. In 1995, the Company debuted Masimo SET^® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion^®pulse oximetry, which has been shown in multiple studies to significantly reduce false alarms and accurately monitor for true alarms. Masimo SET^® is estimated to be used on more than 100 million patients in leading hospitals and other healthcare settings around the world. In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow^® 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^®), Pleth Variability Index (PVi^®) and more recently, Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi^™), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate and perfusion index (PI). In 2014, Masimo introduced Root^™, an intuitive patient monitoring and connectivity platform with the Masimo Open Connect^® (MOC-9^®) interface. Masimo is also taking an active leadership role in mobile health applications (mHealth) with products such as the Radius-7^® wearable patient monitor and the MightySat^® fingertip pulse oximeter.
