Haemonetics Reports 4th Quarter and Fiscal Year 2017 Results and Provides Fiscal 2018 Guidance

Braintree, MA, May 8, 2017 - Haemonetics Corporation (NYSE: HAE) reported fourth quarter fiscal 2017 revenue of $228.1 million, down 6% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and down 5% in constant currency. The prior year fourth quarter included a 14th week, which was estimated to decrease the revenue growth rate by 6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.

The Company reported a fourth quarter fiscal 2017 net loss of $51.1 million or $0.98 per share. Fourth quarter fiscal 2017 adjusted net income was $20.4 million, up 8%, and adjusted earnings per share were $0.39, up 5%, compared to the prior year quarter.

For the fiscal year ended April 1, 2017, revenue was $886.1 million, down 2.5% as reported and down 1% in constant currency. The prior year included a 53rd week, which was estimated to decrease the revenue growth rate by 2% in fiscal 2017.

Christopher Simon, Haemonetics’ CEO, stated: “We achieved our revenue, profit and free cash flow objectives in fiscal 2017, while completing the first of three phases comprising our company’s turnaround. We have stabilized our performance and we are advancing toward a culture of delivering on commitments.

“We exceeded our $40 million fiscal 2017 savings target and we enter fiscal 2018 well-positioned to move forward with the second phase, furthering productivity advances, making key investments and executing new product rollouts. In doing so, we will enable the company to realize growth acceleration in the final turnaround phase in fiscal 2019 and beyond.”

Fiscal 2016 consisted of 53 weeks with a 14-week fourth quarter. The extra week provided incremental revenue estimated at $15 million, accounting for lower revenue growth of 6% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 and 2% in fiscal year 2017.

Fourth quarter and fiscal year 2017 revenue were down 6% and 2.5%, respectively, as reported. Fourth quarter and fiscal year revenue were down 5% and 1% in constant currency, respectively. Business unit revenue growth rates, in constant currency, were as follow:

Fourth quarter fiscal 2017 adjusted operating income was $27.9 million, up 8% over the prior year. Adjusted operating income was $115.4 million in fiscal 2017, down 4% compared to the prior year.

GOODWILL AND OTHER NON-CASH WRITE-DOWNS

The Company recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $57 million in fiscal 2017 and $66 million in fiscal 2016, as a result of its annual impairment tests required under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company also recorded $18 million of non-cash charges in fiscal 2017 and $34 million in fiscal 2016 to write down other underperforming assets. These non-cash accounting charges will not impact liquidity, cash flows from operations, future operations or compliance with debt covenants.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash on hand at April 1, 2017 was $140 million, an increase of $24 million during fiscal 2017. The Company utilized $93 million of cash for debt repayments and $35 million of cash, less $10 million of cash tax benefits, for restructuring and turnaround initiatives. Fiscal 2017 free cash flow was $86 million, including net restructuring and turnaround funding requirements, and $112 million before such funding.

RESTRUCTURING AND TURNAROUND EXPENSES AND DEAL AMORTIZATION

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $7 million of restructuring and turnaround expenses pre-tax. In fiscal 2017, the Company incurred $34 million of such expenses pre-tax, or $23 million net of tax benefit.

Also excluded from fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 fourth quarter pre-tax adjusted earnings were deal amortization expenses of $7 million. Deal amortization expenses excluded from fiscal year adjusted earnings were $27 million in fiscal 2017 and $29 million in fiscal 2016, respectively.

Fiscal 2018 Guidance

Overall fiscal 2018 revenue is expected to approximate fiscal 2017 revenue. Business unit revenue growth guidance for fiscal 2018 follows:
Plasma
 3-5%
Hospital
 7-10%
Blood Center
(7-10%)

Early in fiscal 2018, the Company divested its SEBRA line of benchtop and hand held sealers, representing $6 million or 1.4% of annual Plasma revenue. The revenue impact of the SEBRA divestiture and the resulting impact on fiscal 2018 earnings are included in the guidance provided. A high single-digit percentage growth rate is expected for Plasma disposables in North America.

The Company expects operating income to approximate 10-11% of revenue in fiscal 2018, with adjusted operating income of 13-14% of revenue and fiscal 2018 adjusted earnings per share of $1.55 - $1.65.

Fiscal 2018 adjusted free cash flow, including funding of investments, is expected to approximate $35 - $55 million before funding after-tax turnaround and restructuring related costs.

Anticipated investments of $70-$90 million are included in the fiscal 2018 guidance ranges provided and are comprised of $15-$25 million of after-tax operating expenses representing $0.40-$0.50 earnings per share, plus $55-$65 million of capital expenditures.

Forward Looking Statements

The Company provides forward-looking statements that could be influenced by risks and uncertainties, including demand for whole blood and blood components, changes in executive management, changes in operations restructuring and turnaround plans, asset revaluations to reflect current business conditions, asset sales, technological advances in the medical field and standards for transfusion medicine and our ability to successfully offer products that incorporate such advances and standards, product quality, market acceptance, regulatory uncertainties, including in the receipt or timing of regulatory approvals, the effect of economic and political conditions, the impact of competitive products and pricing, blood product reimbursement policies and practices, foreign currency exchange rates, changes in customers’ ordering patterns including single-source tenders, the effect of industry consolidation as seen in the plasma and blood center markets, the effect of communicable diseases and the effect of uncertainties in markets outside the U.S. (including Europe and Asia) in which we operate and other risks detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive.
Forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions made by management of the Company and are believed to be reasonable, though inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Information set forth in this press release is current as of today and the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update this information.    
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 operating income, net income and earnings per share exclude restructuring and turnaround and deal amortization expenses and non-cash write-downs of goodwill and other intangible assets. 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 below 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 and asset impairments.
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.
