MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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 29, 2025. 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 three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. For that purpose, "Plasma" includes plasma collection devices and disposables, donor management software and supporting software solutions sold to plasma customers. "Blood Center" includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for plasma, red cells, and platelets. "Hospital" 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.
We believe that Plasma and Hospital have the greatest growth potential and are well positioned to drive long-term value. Blood Center operates in more challenging markets, and we have sharpened our focus accordingly on targeted opportunities - particularly in plasma and platelets - while ensuring continued alignment of this business with our broader strategic objectives.
Recent Developments
Accelerated Share Repurchase
In August 2025, in accordance with our previously announced three-year share repurchase program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement ("ASR") with Citibank N.A. ("Citibank") to repurchase $75.0 million of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, in August 2025, we paid Citibank $75.0 million in cash and received an initial delivery of 1,113,586 shares of our common stock representing 80% of the notional amount of the ASR. The ASR was completed in September 2025 within the second quarter of fiscal 2026, and 316,993 additional shares were delivered upon settlement. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR was 1,430,579at an average price per share upon final settlement of $52.43.As of September 27, 2025, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program was $425.0 million.

Net revenues decreased 5.3% and 4.8% during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. Revenue decreases in Plasma and Blood Center, primarily driven by the previously announced customer transition of CSL Plasma and the divestiture of the Whole Blood product line in fiscal 2025, drove the overall decrease in net revenues. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in Hospital, primarily attributable to the Hemostasis Management product line within the Blood Management Technologies franchise, during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025.
Operating income increased 13.1% and 22.9% during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The increase during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025 was primarily due to pricing benefits across all business units and product mix, as well as decreased restructuring costs related to portfolio rationalization initiatives and decreased amortization of fair value inventory step-up related to the Attune Medical acquisition, partially offset by lower gains on sales of property, plant and equipment.
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.

(1) Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency. See "Management's Use of Non-GAAP Measures."
Our principal operations are in the United States, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. We market and sell our products in approximately 96 countries through a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors. During the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, our revenue generated outside the U.S. was 26.6% and 25.6%, respectively, of total net revenues, as compared with 25.9% during both the three and six months ended September 28, 2024. 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.

Plasma
Plasma revenue decreased by 9.5% and 7.0%, respectively, on an as reported basis and by 10.1% and 7.5%, respectively, without the effect of foreign exchange during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The decrease was driven by lower sales volumes in North America, primarily relating to the previously announced customer transition of CSL Plasma, which was partially offset by pricing benefits, Plasma share gains and upfront revenue recognition on execution of a renegotiated long-term software agreement with an existing software customer in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. We do not expect any North America disposable sales to CSL Plasma in fiscal 2026.
Blood Center
Blood Center revenue decreased by 17.6% and 19.6%, respectively, on an as reported basis and by 19.1% and 20.9%, respectively, without the effect of foreign exchange during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by the divestiture of our Whole Blood product line, which was completed in January 2025, partially offset by product mix.
Hospital
Hospital revenue increased by 5.1% and 4.7%, respectively, on an as reported basis and by 4.5% and 4.1%, respectively, without the effect of foreign exchange during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the Hemostasis Management product line within the Blood Management franchise, driven by volume growth and pricing benefits, which was partially offset by lower volume in the Interventional Technologies franchise.

(1) Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency. See "Management's Use of Non-GAAP Measures."
Gross profit increased by 3.9% and 6.8%, respectively, on an as reported basis and by 2.8% and 5.7%, respectively, without the effect of foreign exchange during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The increase was driven primarily by pricing benefits across all business units, Plasma share gains, product mix, decreased restructuring costs related to portfolio rationalization initiatives, and decreased amortization of fair value inventory step-up related to the Attune Medical acquisition.

(1) Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency. See "Management's Use of Non-GAAP Measures."
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased by 5.2% and 8.9%, respectively, on an as reported basis and by 5.0% and 8.9%, respectively, without the effect of foreign exchange during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased restructuring charges resulting from the market and regional alignment initiatives.
Selling, General and Administrative
SG&A expenses decreased by 5.0% and 1.3%, respectively, on an as reported basis and by 5.8% and 1.9%, respectively, without the effect of foreign exchange during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower integration and transaction costs and freight costs, partially offset by lower gains on sales of property, plant and equipment.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
We recognized amortization expense related to our acquired intangible assets of $11.2 million and $22.6 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with $12.3 million and $24.7 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026.
Impairment of intangible assets
We recognized impairment charges of intangible assets of $8.6 million during both the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with $2.4 million during both the three and six months ended September 28, 2024. The impairment charges in fiscal 2026 were related to the intellectual property associated with the HAS viscoelastic diagnostic devices, related assays and disposables. For further discussion, refer to Note 11, Goodwill and Intangible Assetswithin these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense, net increased by $0.2 million and $15.9 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily driven by gains recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 on the repurchase of $200.0 million of aggregate principal of our 0.0% convertible senior notes due in 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). For further discussion on the 2026 Notes, refer to Note 12, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debtwithin these condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 and six months ended September 27, 2025, we reported income tax expense of $12.6 million and $23.7 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 24.6% in each period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 includes $0.1 million of discrete tax expense, primarily related to stock compensation shortfalls. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 27, 2025 includes $0.2 million of discrete tax expense, primarily related to stock compensation shortfalls.
For the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, we reported income tax expense of $10.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively, representing an effective tax rate of 24.3% and 21.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 includes an immaterial discrete tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2024 includes $3.6 million of discrete tax benefit, primarily related to stock compensation windfalls. The discrete benefit also includes other items such as provision to return differences.
The reported tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025, compared to the same period in fiscal 2025, was relatively consistent. The increase in the reported tax rate for the six months ended September 27, 2025, compared to the same period in fiscal 2025, relates primarily to the decrease in net stock compensation windfall benefits.

__________
(1) Our revolving credit facilities availability is reduced by eligible outstanding letters of credit allowable of $1.3 million as of September 27, 2025 and March 29, 2025, 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 2026 Notes and 2.5%convertible senior notes due in 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). Our expected cash outlays relate primarily to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, share repurchases, the market and regional alignment initiative and cash principal and interest payments under our revised credit agreements.
As of September 27, 2025, we had $296.4 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
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we used a portion of the proceeds from the 2029 Notes to repurchase $200.0 million of the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes for a total cost of $185.5 million, resulting in a gain of $14.5 million related to the discount on repurchase. As the repurchase of the 2026 Notes met the criteria for extinguishment accounting, $1.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were allocated to the repurchase, resulting in a net gain of $12.6 million. As of September 27, 2025, the $300.0 million remaining principal balance on the 2026 Notes was netted down by $0.7 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $299.3 million. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of September 1, 2025, holders of the 2026 Notes are able to convert all or a portion of their 2026 Notes. Interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 27, 2025 which is entirely attributable to the amortization of the debt issuance costs. The remaining debt issuance costs are amortized at an effective interest rate of 0.6%. For further discussion on the 2026 Notes, refer to Note 12, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debtwithin these condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of September 27, 2025, the $700.0 million principal balance of the 2029 Notes was netted down by $12.9 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $687.1 million. The 2029 Notes will mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of September 27, 2025, the 2029 Notes were not convertible. Interest expense related to the 2029 Notes was $5.2 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, 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 Debtwithin these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Credit Facilities
On April 30, 2024, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance our 2022 unsecured credit facilities and extend their maturity date through April 2029. The second amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which, along with $12.5 million of cash on hand, were used to retire the balance of the term loan under our 2022 unsecured credit facilities, 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 0.0%, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on our 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 our 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. For further discussion on the 2029 Notes, refer to Note 12, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debtwithin these condensed consolidated financial statements.
As of September 27, 2025, $242.2 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 6.4%. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facilities as of September 27, 2025. We also had $19.5 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund its global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of September 27, 2025.
We have scheduled principal payments of $3.1 million required during the remainder of fiscal 2026 related to its 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. In September 2025, we completed a $75.0 million repurchase of our common stock pursuant to an ASR entered into with Citibank in August 2025. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR was 1,430,579at an average price per share upon final settlement of $52.43.As of September 27, 2025, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program was $425.0 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 Company resources toward the markets and geographies that offer the greatest growth and portfolio advancement opportunities. During the three and six months ended September 27, 2025, we incurred $0.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of restructuring related costs under this initiative. Total cumulative charges under the market and regional alignment initiative are $4.0 million as of September 27, 2025. 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
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. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "predicts," "foresees," "potential" and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things: discussions of future operations; expected operating results and financial performance; our strategy for growth; product development, commercialization and anticipated performance and benefits; regulatory approvals; impacts of acquisitions or dispositions; and market position and expenditures.
Because forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding future events, they are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, our actual results and financial condition could vary materially from expectations and projections expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.
The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements. For further discussion of these and other factors, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
•Our ability to achieve our long-term strategic and financial-improvement goals;
•Demand for and market acceptance risks for new and existing products, including material reductions in purchasing from or loss of a significant customer;
•Our ability to develop, manufacture and market new products and technologies successfully and in a timely manner and the ability of our competitors and other third parties to develop products or technologies that render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete;
•Product quality or safety concerns, leading to product recalls, withdrawals, regulatory action by the FDA (or similar non-U.S. regulatory agencies), reputational damage, declining sales or litigation;
•Security breaches of our products or information technology systems, or those of our customers, suppliers or other business partners, which could impair our ability or our customers' ability to conduct business or compromise sensitive information of the Company or its customers, suppliers and other business partners, or of customers' patients;
•The potential that the expected strategic benefits and opportunities from completed or planned acquisitions, including our acquisitions of OpSens Inc. and Attune Medical, divestitures or other strategic investments by us may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
•Pricing pressures resulting from trends toward healthcare cost containment, including the continued consolidation among healthcare providers and other market participants;
•Disruptions to the continuity, availability and pricing of plastic and other raw materials, finished goods and components used in the manufacturing of our products (including those purchased from sole-source suppliers) and the related continuity of our manufacturing, sterilization, supply chain and distribution operations, including disruptions caused by natural disasters, extreme weather and other conditions caused by or related to climate change, labor strikes, terrorism acts, cyber incidents or other adverse events;
