(Dollars in millions, except per share data)

Note 1. 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hillrom,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on August 7, 1969 in the State of Indiana and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. We are a global medical technology leader whose approximately 10,000 employees have a single purpose: enhancing outcomes for patients and their caregivers by Advancing Connected Care™. Around the world, our innovations touch over 7 million patients each day. Our products and services help enable earlier diagnosis and treatment, optimize surgical efficiency and accelerate patient recovery while simplifying clinical communication and shifting care closer to home. We make these outcomes possible through connected smart beds, patient lifts, patient assessment and monitoring technologies, caregiver collaboration tools, respiratory health devices, advanced equipment for the surgical space and more, delivering actionable, real-time insights at the point of care.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Hillrom’s latest fiscal 2019 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The September 30, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein include all adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hillrom and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements. Additionally, the Company measures and classifies fair value measurements in accordance with the level hierarchy in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates and valuation techniques used to measure fair value have not changed significantly from September 30, 2019. See Note 1 -1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the 2019 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 for further information.

Prior Period Reclassification

In this Form 10-Q,Beginning in fiscal year 2020, we are presenting Acquisition-related intangible asset amortization as a separate line item on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Acquisition-related intangible asset amortization was previously included in Selling and administrative expenses. Additionally, we will no longer present Gross Profit as a subtotal on our Statements of Income.

The following table presents Acquisition-related intangible asset amortization and Selling and administrative expenses, excluding the Acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, for the years ended September 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017, and for each quarterly period of fiscal 2019.

Goodwill

As of March 31, 2020, we evaluated goodwill for impairment in response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and the results of this evaluation did not result in any impairments.

For the Surgical Solutions segment, we expect near-term lower demand for operating room infrastructure due to project delays as customers are currently focusing on the demands of the pandemic.

Slower recovery resulting from extended project delays, an increase in discount rates, unfavorable changes in earnings multiples or a decline in future cash flow projections, among other factors, may cause a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable. If future financial assumptions significantly differ from those evaluated in the assessment noted above due to duration or magnitude of the impact of COVID-19, we can provide no assurance that a future goodwill impairment charge would not be incurred.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued related amendments, collectively referred to as “ASC 842”. The objective of this guidance is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations through recognizing leased assets, called right-of-use assets (“ROU”), and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements.  As a lessee, the new standard requires us to recognize both the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet for most leases, whereas under previous GAAP only finance lease liabilities (referred to as capital leases) were recognized in the balance sheet. In addition, for both lessees and lessors, the definition of a lease has been revised, which may result in changes to the classification of an arrangement as a lease. Under the new standard, an arrangement that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset by obtaining substantially all of its economic benefits and directing how it is used is a lease, whereas the previous definition focused on the ability to control the use of the asset or to obtain its output. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the amount, timing and judgments of an entity’s accounting for leases and the related cash flows are expanded under the new standard. Disclosure requirements apply to both lessees and lessors, whereas previous disclosures related only to lessees. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of revenues, expenses and cash flows arising from a lease have not significantly changed from previous GAAP.

We adopted ASC 842 effective October 1, 2019 using the optional transition method approach. We elected the package of practical expedients, which applies to both lessees and lessors, to (1) not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward the existing lease classification and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases.

As a lessee, the adoption of the guidance on October 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $82.5 million and lease liabilities of $85.8 million, which all related to operating leases. The ROU assets were lower than the lease liabilities due to the derecognition of deferred rent balances of $3.3 million. As a lessor, our accounting was not impacted by the adoption of this guidance. We did not recognize any adjustment to the comparative period presented in the financial statements in accordance with our adoption method. The guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

See Note 7 - 7. Leases for additional information on the impacts of ASC 842.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and requires a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The purpose of the standard is to allow the use of the OIS rate based on the SOFR for hedge accounting purposes, which allows entities to designate changes in the fair values of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities attributable to the OIS rate as the hedged risk.  The amendment recognizes the OIS rate based on the SOFR as likely London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) replacements and supports the marketplace transition by adding the new reference rate as a benchmark rate.  The adoption of this ASU did not impact our financial statements as we have not yet utilized the OIS rate based on the SOFR for borrowings under our lending arrangements or as a benchmark rate for hedge accounting purposes. We will continue to monitor, assess and plan for the phase out of LIBOR.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments and subsequently issued related amendments, collectively referred to as “Topic 326”. Topic 326 requires entities to measure credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will recognize credit losses through an allowance for credit losses. Topic 326 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and requires a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of fair value disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and requires the application of the prospective method of transition (for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption) to the new disclosure requirements for (1) changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income and (2) the range and weighted average used to develop significant

unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also requires prospective application to any modifications to disclosures made because of the change to the requirements for the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The effects of all other amendments made by ASU 2018-13 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation Retirement Benefits Defined Benefit Plans General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-14 is effective for our fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and requires a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. TheThis update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement to be consistent with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and allows a retrospective or a prospective transition method to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. The purpose of the standard is to (1) clarify that transactions between participants in a collaborative agreement should be accounted for under Topic 606 and (2) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with Topic 606. ASU 2018-18 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and must be applied retrospectively to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

12

Table of Contents
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The purpose of the standard is to remove certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740: Income Taxes in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application and to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial
statements. ASU 2019-12 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively depending on the specific Topic 740 exception affected. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The purpose of the standard is to provide guidance for the effects of the marketplace transition from LIBOR to a new reference rate as a benchmark rate.  ASU 2020-04 is optional and is effective for a limited period of time from March 12,2020 through December 31, 2022. We are continuing to monitor, assess and plan for the phase out of LIBOR and will evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Except as noted above, there are no significant changes to our assessment of the impact of recently issued accounting standards included in Note 1 -1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Note 2. 2. Revenuefrom Contracts with Customers

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, the Company's significant accounting policies for recognizing revenue have not changed from September 30, 2019. See Note 1 -1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 -2. Revenue Recognition within our 2019 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 for further information.

Deferred Contract Costs

Deferred contract costs represent commissions paid upon receipt of a purchase order for certain products in our Patient Support Systems segment.  These commissions are subsequently expensed to Selling and administrative expenses commensurate with the timing of revenue recognition, which is generally 12 to 24 months. As of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, we had $9.8 million and $10.0 million of total deferred contract costs, respectively, recorded within Other current assets and Other assets. For the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we amortized $3.6 million and $3.4 million of deferred contract costs, which are classified within Selling and administrative expenses.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue recognized from contracts with customers by geography and segment categoriesreportable segments consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. See Note 1414. Segment Reporting for the presentation of the Company's revenue disaggregation.


Contract Balances

The nature of our products and services does not give rise to contract assets as we typically do not have instances where a right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer exists that is conditional on something other than the passage of time.

The following summarizes contract liability activity for fiscal 2019 and during the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019.2020. The contract liability balance represents the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations.

Acquisitions

Excel Medical Electronics

On January 10, 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interest of Excel Medical Electronics (“Excel Medical”), a clinical communications software company located in the United States, for total aggregate consideration of $19.2 million, comprised of $13.1 million cash and $6.1 million of contingent consideration measured at fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Contingent consideration is comprised of $1.6 million, which was withheld at the close of the transaction and is payable upon completion of contract stipulation, and estimated consideration measured at a fair value of $4.5 million, which is payable of up to $15.0 million based upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones over the next two years.

The results of Excel Medical are included in the Patient Support Systems segment since the date of acquisition. The impact to reported revenue and net income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020 was not significant.

Goodwill in connection with the Excel Medical acquisition of $9.8 million was recognized at the acquisition date related to the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, reflecting the value associated with enhancing synergies, accelerating our leadership in care communications platform and advancing our digital and mobile communications platform and capabilities. The goodwill was allocated entirely to our Patient Support Systems segment and is deductible for tax purposes in the United States.

The estimated useful life of the acquired intangible assets is 5 years for developed technology.

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $0.7 million and $0.8 million of acquisition and integration costs in Selling and administrative expenses.

Breathe Technologies, Inc.

On September 3, 2019, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Breathe Technologies, Inc. (“Breathe”), a developer and manufacturer of a patented wearable, non-invasive ventilation technology that supports improved patient mobility, for total aggregate cash consideration of $127.6 million.

The results of Breathe are included in the Front Line Care segment since the date of acquisition. The impact to reported revenue and net income in the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was not significant.

Securitization Facilities

In May 2019, we renewed ourThe Company has a 364-day accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Facility”) with certain financial institutions for borrowings up to $110.0 million. We also renewed our additionalmillion and a 364-day facility for borrowings up to $90.0 million (the “Note Securitization Facility”) in May 2019.with certain financial institutions. Under the terms of each of the Securitization Facility and Note Securitization Facility, certain of our accounts receivable secure the amounts borrowed and cannot be used to pay our other debts or liabilities. The amount of permissible borrowings outstanding is determined based on the amount of qualifying accounts receivable at any point in time. Borrowings outstanding under the Securitization Facility and Note Securitization Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 0.8% and 1.0% and are included as a component of Short-term borrowings, while the accounts receivable securing these obligations remain as a component of Trade accounts receivable, net of allowances.

As of March 31, 2020 these facilities had an expiration date of May 1, 2020, but were renewed on April 27, 2020 through April 26, 2021. The terms and conditions of the renewed facilities are substantially similar to the expired facilities. Borrowings outstanding under the renewed Securitization Facility and renewed Note Securitization Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 0.8% and 0.9%.

Long-Term Debt

Long-Term Debt Redemption

In September 2019, we issued senior unsecured notes of $425.0 million maturing September 2027 that bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.375% annually and capitalized debt issuance costs of $6.3 million. On October 7, 2019, we used the net proceeds from the offering of these notes, together with funds borrowed from the Revolving Credit Facility maturing in August 2024 (“2024 Revolving Credit Facility”), to redeem all of our previously outstanding senior unsecured 5.75% notes due September 2023 and to pay the prepayment premium of $12.2 million. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.6 million, which was comprised of the $12.2 million prepayment premium and $3.4 million of debt issuance costs previously capitalized.

As of March 31, 2020, there were $185.0 million outstanding borrowings on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,007.8 million after giving effect to the $7.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2019, there were $80.0 million outstanding borrowings on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,112.8 million after giving effect to $7.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit.

See Note 6 -6. Financing Agreements within the 2019 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 for further information.

Fair Value

The fair value of our debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities. The book values of our variable rate short-term debt instruments, our senior secured Term Loan A facility maturing in August 2024 (“2024 TLA Facility”) and our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility approximate fair value.

The estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments are described in the table below:

Debt Covenants

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our financing agreements.

Note 6. 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates and variability in foreign currency exchange rates. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We employ cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, and other nondesignated derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting to manage these risks.

Cash Flow Hedges

To manage our exposure to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates, we enter into interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million to hedge the variability of cash flows through August 2024 associated with a portion of the variable interest rate payments on outstanding borrowings under our Senior Credit Agreement. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, these swaps were in a net liability position with an aggregate fair value of $5.1$45.2 million of which $1.3 million were classified as Other assets and $6.4 million were classified as Other current liabilities. As of September 30, 2019, we had interest rate swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with a portion of the variable interest rate payments on outstanding borrowings under our Senior Credit Agreement through September 2021. As of September 30, 2019, these swaps were in a net liability position with an aggregate fair value of $6.8 million, of which $0.9 million were classified as Other assets and $7.7 million were classified as Other current liabilities. We classify fair value measurements on our interest rate swaps as Level 2.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates due to our international operations. We enter into currency exchange agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific and projected transactions. We operate this program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currencies. Our currency risk consists primarily of foreign currency denominated firm commitments and projected foreign currency denominated intercompany and third-party transactions. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, there were no foreign exchange contracts were open.outstanding. As of September 30, 2019, the notional amount of openoutstanding foreign exchange contracts was $6.7 million. These contractsmillion and they were in a net asset position reported in Other current assets with aan aggregate fair value of $0.2 million. The maximum length of time over which we hedge transaction exposures is generally 15 months. Derivative gains and losses, initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are reclassified to earnings in the period when the transaction affects earnings.

Net Investment Hedges

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we had cross-currency swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $198.3 million, to hedge the variability of net assets due to changes in the U.S. dollar-Euro spot exchange rates through July 2023. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges of subsidiaries using the Euro as their functional currency. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019, these swaps were in a net asset position with an aggregate fair value of $13.4 million which were classified as Other assets. As of2020 and September 30, 2019, these swaps were in a net asset position with an aggregate fair valuevalues of $22.3 million and $16.9 million, whichrespectively, and were classified as Other assets.

We classify fair value measurements on our cross-currency swaps as Level 2. We assess hedge effectiveness under the spot-to-spot method and record changes in fair value attributable to the translation of foreign currencies through Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We amortize the impact of all other changes in fair value of the derivatives through Interest expense, which was income of $1.3 million in bothand $2.6 million for the quartersthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 compared to income of $1.2 million and 2018.expense of $0.1 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019.

Undesignated Derivative Instruments

We use forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges and the terms of these instruments generally do not exceed one month. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we had forward contracts not designated as hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $91.4$76.0 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had forward contracts not designated as hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $76.7 million. InFor the quarterthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we recognized unrealized gains of $0.2$0.1 million and realized gains of $0.4$0.6 million. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized unrealized gains of $0.1 million and realized gains of $1.1 million. We recognized unrealized losses of $0.5 million and realized losses of $0.3 million for both the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. The unrealized and realized gains and losses for forward contracts not designated as hedges are recorded in Investment income (expense) and other, net related to these forward contracts not designated as hedges. In the quarter ended December 31, 2018, there were no similar forward contracts in place.

Note 7. Leases
Note 7. Leases

Hillrom as the Lessee

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at contract inception. We lease real estate, automobiles and equipment under various operating leases. A lease liability and ROU asset is recognized for operating leases with terms greater than one year at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is measured as the present value of all remaining fixed payments calculated using our estimated secured incremental borrowing rate. The ROU asset is measured as the sum of the lease liability and any initial indirect costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. We use our estimated secured incremental borrowing rate as most lease agreements do not specify an interest rate. Our lease agreements include leases that have both lease and associated nonleasenon-lease components. We have elected to account for lease components and the associated nonleasenon-lease components as a single lease component.

Our leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 8.88.6 years. Many of our real estate and equipment leases include options to renew. Renewal periods are generally not included when calculating the remaining lease term unless we are reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option based on beneficial terms or significance of the leased asset to our operations.

Expense for operating leases and leases with a term of one year or less is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the quarterthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 was $9.6$9.8 million, of which $6.8$7.0 million related to operating leases and $2.8 million related to short-term leases and variable lease payments. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, lease expense was $19.4 million, of which $13.8 million related to operating leases and $5.6 million related to short-term leases and variable lease payments. Lease expense is recorded in Cost of goods sold or Selling and administrative expenses based on the purpose of the leased asset.

The following table summarizes the balance sheet classification of our operating leases and amounts of the ROU asset and lease liability as of DecemberMarch 31, 2019:2020:

Hillrom as the Lessor

We make certain products available to customers under short-term lease arrangements. Rental usage of these products is provided as an alternative to product sales and is short-term in nature. Products primarily include smart beds, including, but not limited to, bariatric, critical care, maternal, and home care beds, as well as other surfaces. These lease arrangements provide our customers with our products during periods of peak demand or often times for specialty purposes. Additionally, we provide wearable, non-invasive ventilation products to patients covered by monthly medical insurance reimbursements, which are considered month-to-month leasing arrangements. Income arising from these lease arrangements where we are the lessor is recognized within Rental revenue. We have accounted for these lease arrangements as operating leases.

Note 88. Retirement and Postretirement Plans

We sponsor fivesix defined benefit retirement plans. Those plans include a master defined benefit retirement plan in the United States, a nonqualified supplemental executive defined benefit retirement plan, and three defined benefit retirement plans covering employees in Germany and France.France, and a defined benefit retirement plan of Excel Medical that was acquired on January 10, 2020. Benefits for such plans are based primarily on years of service and the employee’s level of compensation in specific periods of employment. We contribute funds to trusts as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded projected future benefit obligation over a reasonable period of time. All of our plans have a September 30 measurement date. The following table details the components of net pension expense for our defined benefit retirement plans.

In addition to defined benefit retirement plans, we also offer two postretirement health care plans in the United States that provide health care benefits to qualified retirees and their dependents. The plans are closed to new participants and include retiree cost sharing provisions and generally extendsextend retiree coverage for medical and prescription benefits beyond the COBRA continuation period to the date of Medicare eligibility. Annual costs related to these plans are not significant.

On March 9, 2020, we transferred pension assets totaling $40.6 million to purchase annuity contracts for a certain population of retirees with a third-party insurance company. As a result, we recognized a non-cash settlement loss of $8.5 million, which is recorded as a component of Investment income (expense) and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

We have defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all U.S. employees and certain non-U.S. employees. The general purpose of these plans is to provide additional financial security in retirement by providing employees with an incentive to make regular savings.regularly save a portion of their earnings. Our contributions to the plans are based on eligibility and, in some cases, employee contributions. Expense under these plans was $6.2$10.1 million in both ofand $16.3 million for the quarterly periodsthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020, and 2018.

Note 10. Special Charges
Note 10
Special Charges

In connection with various organizational changes to improve our business alignment and cost structure, we recognized Special charges of $7.8$8.8 million and $8.0$16.6 million for the quartersthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 compared to $3.5 million and 2018.$11.5 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2019. Although these charges are non-recurring in nature, additional Special charges are expected to be incurred related to restructuring and transformative initiatives in future periods. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of these future expected costs until such time as the evaluations are complete.

These charges are summarized as follows:

Business Optimization and Realignment

Management pursues opportunities to align our operations to achieve synergies and position the business for growth. In fiscal 2018, a global transformation program was launched that was focused on reducing complexity, increasing efficiency and improving our cost structure with targeted investments that align with our strategic priorities.

As part of this program, management launched an initiative related to a global information technology transformation, including rationalizing and transforming our enterprise resource planning software solutions and other complementary information technology systems. InFor the quarterthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, the Company incurred $9.4$9.9 million related to this initiative, of which $5.3$5.4 million was capitalized and $4.1$4.5 million was expensed in Special charges. For the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $19.3 million, of which $10.7 million was capitalized and $8.6 million was expensed in Special charges. The objective of this initiative is to consolidate and streamline our key workstreams that interact with customers and vendors and support our financial reporting processes while maintaining the security of our data. The solutions designed under this initiative will be implemented over the next five to seven years.

We acquired Breathe and Voalteseveral businesses in fiscal 2019 and 2020 as disclosed within Note 4. Business Combinations for which we continue to incur integration-related costs and severance costs. These costs which were recorded to Special charges duringfor the quarterthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019.2020. We also incurred costs, including severance and benefit costs, associated with other business realignment and integration activities.

For the quarterthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we incurred total business optimization and realignment charges of $7.3$8.2 million and $15.5 million, of which $1.8$2.1 million and $3.9 million were severance and benefit costs with the remainder related to professional fees and project management costs. These amounts compare to charges of $3.8$2.5 million inand $6.3 million for the quarterthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, of which $2.7$1.0 million and $3.8 million were severance and benefit costs with the remainder related to professional fees and project management costs.

Site Consolidation

We continue to streamline our operations and simplify our supply chain by consolidating certain manufacturing and distribution operations (“Site Consolidation”). DuringFor the quarterthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, we recorded charges of $0.5$0.7 million and $1.2 million related to these efforts, allprimarily comprised of which weresite closure costs and severance and benefit costs. These amounts compare to charges of $4.1$1.0 million and $5.1 million related to these efforts infor the quarterthree and six months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018,2019, primarily comprisingcomprised of severance and benefit costs, lease termination and facility closure costs related to three sites that were closed.costs.

For all accrued severance and other benefit charges described above, we record restructuring reserves within Other current liabilities. The reserve activity for severance and other benefits infor the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 was as follows:

Note 1111. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the quarterthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 was 6.6%17.4% compared to 14.9%18.5% for the comparable period in the prior year due primarily toyear. The effective tax rate for the difference in the discrete tax benefits realized in each period. The current period ratethree months ended March 31, 2020 was favorably impacted primarily by $4.1 million excessan increased projected benefit for the deduction attributed to foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”).

The effective tax benefits on deductible stock compensationrate for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was 12.8% compared to $1.7 million of benefit16.9% for the comparable period in the comparable prior period.year. The current periodeffective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was favorably impacted primarily by an increased projected benefit for the deduction attributed to FDII as well as a small benefit from current year discrete items. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2020 was also favorably impacted by the reduction of the contingent consideration accrual of $8.4 million, in the quarter ended December 31, 2019, that is not subject to tax.


On March 25, 2020, the U.S. government approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the pandemic. We continue to evaluate what impact, if any, the CARES Act, or any similar legislation in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, may have on our related tax positions and our effective tax rate.

Note 1212. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period, plus the effect of deferred vested shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated consistent with the basic earnings per share calculation plus the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to stock-based employee compensation programs. For all periods presented, anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Cumulative treasury stock acquired, less cumulative shares reissued, have been excluded in determining the average number of shares outstanding.

Note 1313. Warranties and Guarantees

We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year, however, certain components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters whichthat might require a broad-based correction, separate reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated.

1 As a result of the asset acquisition in our Front Line Care segment discussed in Note 4 - 4. Business Combinations.Combinations.

In the normal course of business, we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees and indemnifications have not historically had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, nor do we expect them to, although indemnifications associated with our actions generally have no dollar limitations.

In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we have entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and

warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. With respect to sale transactions, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Note 1414. Segment Reporting

We disclose segment information that is consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. Our operating structure contains the following reportable segments:

Patient Support Systems –globally provides our med-surg and specialty bed systems and surfaces, safe patient handling equipment and mobility solutions, as well as our care communications platform that delivers software and information technologies to improve care and deliver actionable insight to caregivers and patients.

Front Line Care – globally provides patient monitoring and diagnostic technologies, including a diversified portfolio of physical assessment tools that help diagnose, treat and manage a wide variety of illnesses and diseases, including a portfolio of vision care and respiratory health devices.

Surgical Solutions – globally provides products that improve safety and efficiency in the surgical space, including tables, lights, pendants, precision positioning devices and other accessories.

Surgical Solutions – globally provides products that improve safety and efficiency in the surgical space, including tables, lights, pendants, precision positioning devices and other accessories.

Our performance within each reportable segment continues to be measured on a divisional income basis before non-allocated
operating and administrative costs, litigation, special charges, acquisition and integration costs, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, and other unusual events. Divisional income generally represents the division’s gross profit, excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, less its direct operating costs along with an allocation of manufacturing and distribution costs, research and development and certain corporate functional expenses.

Non-allocated operating costs, administrative costs, and other includes functional expenses that support the entire organization such as administration, finance, legal and human resources, expenses associated with strategic developments, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, and other events that are not indicative of operating trends. We exclude such amounts from divisional income to allow management to evaluate and understand divisional operating trends. The chief operating decision maker does not receive any asset information by operatingreportable segment and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by operatingreportable segment.

Effective for fiscal 2020, the allocation of operating costs to each segment was modified to improve the alignment to how management evaluates the performance of each segment. The fiscal 2019 segment information has been recast to conform to the current presentation. The reclassification did not impact our reported Consolidated Net Revenue or Income Before Income Taxes.

Note 1515. Commitments and Contingencies

General

We are subject to various claims and contingencies arising out of the normal course of business, including those relating to governmental investigations and proceedings, commercial transactions, product liability, employee related matters, antitrust, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Self-Insurance

We are involved in various claims, including product and general liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability and employment related matters. Such claims in the United States have deductibles and self-insured retentions at various limits up to $1.0 million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. International deductibles and self-insured retentions are lower. We are also generally self-insured up to certain stop-loss limits for certain employee health benefits, including medical, drug and dental. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and outside actuarial analysis, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Such estimated reserves are classified as Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities.

Item 2.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements and our 2019 Form 10-K.

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hillrom,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on August 7, 1969 in the State of Indiana and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. We are a global medical technology leader whose approximately 10,000 employees have a single purpose: enhancing outcomes for patients and their caregivers by Advancing Connected CareTM. Around the world, our innovations touch over 7 million patients each day. Our products and services help enable earlier diagnosis and treatment, optimize surgical efficiency and accelerate patient recovery while simplifying clinical communication and shifting care closer to home. We make these outcomes possible through connected smart beds, patient lifts, patient assessment and monitoring technologies, caregiver collaboration tools, respiratory health devices, advanced equipment for the surgical space and more, delivering actionable, real-time insights at the point of care.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we routinely provide operating margin, income tax expense and earnings per diluted share results on an adjusted basis as we believe these measures contribute to the understanding of our financial performance, provide additional analytical tools to understand our results from core operations and reveal underlying operating trends. These measures exclude strategic developments, acquisition and integration costs and related fair value adjustments, gains and losses associated with disposals of businesses or significant product lines, regulatory costs related to updating existing product registrations to comply with the European Medical Device Regulations, Special charges as described in Note 10 - 10. Special Charges,, the transitional impacts of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), changes in tax accounting methods, and other tax law changes as described in Note 11 -11. Income Taxes within the 2019 Form 10-K, expenses associated with these tax items, the impacts of significant litigation matters, or other unusual events. We also exclude expenses associated with the amortization of purchased intangible assets. These adjustments are made to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding their impact on operating income and earnings per diluted share.

Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business. Investors
should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, we present certain results on a constant currency basis, which compares results between periods as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained consistent period-over-period. We monitor sales performance on an adjusted basis that eliminates the positive or negative effects that result from translating international sales into U.S. dollars. We calculate constant currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period. We believe that evaluating growth in net revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment to both management and investors.

Net cash flows from operating activities and selected borrowings represented our primary sources of funds for growth of the
business, including capital expenditures and acquisitions. Our financing agreements contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, the making of restricted payments, and the incurrence of additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. None of our financing agreements contain any credit rating triggers whichthat would increase or decrease our cost of borrowings. Credit rating changes can, however, impact the cost of borrowings and any potential future borrowings under any new financing agreements.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $39.0$1.5 million for the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 compared to the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018.2019. The primary drivers include an increase in incentive compensation payments, as well as timing of payments related to funding an additional payroll period and other receivables.partially offset by improved operating profit margins.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $23.8decreased by $13.9 million for the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2019, primarily driven by capital expenditures of $24.3 million, offset by proceeds on the disposal of property, plant and equipment and equipment leased to others of $0.5 million.

Cash used in investing activities decreased $34.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 20192020 compared to the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 primarily due to our acquisitions of non-marketable securities of $26.6 million and the right to use patented technology and certain related assets of $17.1 million and non-marketable securities of $26.6 million during the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2018 as discussed within 2019. The decrease was partially offset by the payment of $13.1 million for the acquisition of Excel Medical in January 2020. See Note 3 - 3. Supplementary Financial Statement Information and Note 4 - 4. Business Combinations, respectively. for additional information.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities increased $432.7$359.3 million for the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20192020 compared to the quartersix months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20182019 primarily due to the redemption of our previously outstanding senior unsecured 5.75% notes due September 2023 of $425.0 million and the related prepayment premium of $12.2 million as described within Note 5 - 5. Financing AgreementsAgreements.
, as well as the purchase of $15.1 million of Treasury Stock in connection with employee payroll tax withholding for restricted stock distributions. Cash used in financing activities was partially offset by borrowings against our Note Securitization Facility and 2024 Revolving Credit Facility as described within Note 5 - Financing Agreements.

Other Liquidity Matters

Our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations may be used to fund strategic investments, business acquisitions, working capital needs, capital expenditures, investments in technology and marketing, share repurchases and payments of dividends to our shareholders. We believe that our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations, along with amounts available under our financing agreements, will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, and financing obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing. However, disruption and volatility in

As of March 31, 2020, there were $185.0 million outstanding borrowings on the credit markets could impede our access to capital.

As of September 30, 2019, there were $80.0 million outstanding borrowings on the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,112.8 million after giving effect to $7.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit.

Hillrom’s cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2020 were not materially impacted by the outbreak of a respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus. There have been no changes to our cost of or access to our capital and funding sources. We have not currently identified instability of the financial institutions withinwith whom we maintain our financing relationships. Hillrom believes it will continue to service our outstanding borrowings or other financial obligations.

Hillrom’s long-term debt instruments require nominal repayments over the group is unable to complynext 12 months, with our next significant maturity occurring in August 2024. Since the termsbeginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, we have not experienced liquidity constraints through either the movement of cash or under our agreement.2024 Revolving Credit Facility. Furthermore, Hillrom has successfully extended its 364-day accounts receivable securitization facilities as of April 27, 2020. As of March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our financing agreements. See Note 5 - 5. Financing Agreements for additional information on our financing agreements.


Hillrom does not anticipate incurring significant incremental capital expenditures due to the pandemic. We may delay discretionary capital spending or redirect capital spending to support the increased demand for certain products used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Refer to the section titled “The Impacts of COVID-19 on Hillrom” within Management’s Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information.

Over the long term, we intend to continue to pursue inorganic growth in certain areas of our business, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted. See Note 4 - Business Combinations for information on our acquisitions and dispositions completed during fiscal 2019 and 2018.

We intend to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends comparable to those paid in the periods covered by these financial statements. However, the declaration and payment of dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of our Board and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, covenants associated with debt obligations, legal requirements and other factors considered relevant by our Board.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, approximately 75.1%53.0% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2019,2020, our practice and intention waswere to reinvest the earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries outside of the United States.

With regard to our non-U.S. subsidiaries, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings in those businesses to fund capital expenditures and other operating cash needs. Because the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested, no U.S. deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes have been provided on earnings subsequent to the enactment of the Tax Act. Future repatriations of cash and cash equivalents, if any, held by our foreign subsidiaries will generally not be subject to U.S. Federal tax if earned prior to the enactment of the Tax Act. As we evaluate the impact of the Tax Act and the future cash needs of our global operations, we may revise the amount of foreign earnings generated prior to the enactment of the Tax Act considered to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from U.S. operations, along with amounts available under our financing agreements, will be sufficient to fund U.S. operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department continue to release proposed guidance with respect to the Tax Act. We continue to evaluate what impact, if any, each piece of guidance may have on our related tax positions and our effective tax rate if, and when, such guidance is finalized.

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

There have not been any significant changes since September 30, 2019 impacting our contractual obligations and contingent liabilities and commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies require management to make significant estimates and assumptions using information available at the time the estimates are made. Such estimates and assumptions significantly affect various reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. If future experience differs significantly from these estimates and assumptions, our results of operations and financial condition could be affected. A detailed description of our accounting policies is included in Note 1 - 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and the Critical Accounting Policies Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to such policies since September 30, 2019.

The Impacts of COVID-19 on Hillrom


During December 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China. Since that time, the virus spread globally and has resulted in confirmed cases in regions and countries in which we conduct our business. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” The United States and countries around the world are taking extreme precautionary and preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 has impacted global economies as travel, leisure and discretionary consumer spending has reduced significantly causing companies to make drastic changes to their investments, human capital, and financial outlooks.

Revenues and Customers

As a result of preventive and cautionary measures taken by Hillrom, other businesses and governments, we may experience changes in demand for certain of our products as health care customers prioritize the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. For the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, we experienced an increase in demand for select products including ICU and med-surg beds, specialty surfaces and patient mobility solutions within Patient Support Systems, and respiratory health ventilators, thermometry and patient monitoring products within Front Line Care. We also experienced declines in revenue related to project delays in our care communications business. The combined impact to total net revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was a net increase of approximately $15 million due to higher demand for products used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

In the second half of 2020, the Company expects near-term increases in demand for products used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19. This demand is expected to be partially offset by near-term lower demand for information technologies and software solutions in Patient Support Systems due to limited access to hospitals and the near term reprioritization of customer demand for products used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19. In addition, we expect near-term lower demand for operating room infrastructure in Surgical Solutions due to project delays as customers are focusing on the demands of the pandemic. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar public health event is highly uncertain and subject to change. In this regard, the extent of potential impacts on our business, healthcare systems and other customers and the U.S. and global economies as a whole is evolving, and the development of customer demand described above and other factors could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Management intends to continue focusing on the Company's strategic growth objectives, while also working to meet the immediate demands relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operations and Workforce

We are actively managing our supply chain to ensure we are securing raw materials and components for manufacturing products in high demand due to COVID-19. We have not experienced significant supply chain constraints nor significant increases in supply costs as a result of the pandemic and we are adjusting resource allocation as needed to meet customer demand.

42

Hillrom continues to operate our production facilities as our products are essential to healthcare providers. Some of our products are specifically being used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Many employees in our administrative functions have effectively worked remotely since mid-March. Due to the importance of Hillrom’s products relative to treating the virus, the Company has maintained employment levels and has prudently augmented staffing as needed to meet near-term incremental demand as a result of the pandemic. Management does not believe that the pandemic will have a long-term impact on Hillrom’s organizational structure or number of employees.

Hillrom is currently evaluating governmental subsidies and incentives available within the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Management will evaluate these opportunities as well as the related requirements or restrictions to support our operations and workforce in a manner that allow us to continue to operate efficiently and effectively.

While the financial impact on Hillrom has not been significant to date, given the rapid and evolving nature of the pandemic, COVID-19 could negatively affect our sales, and it is uncertain how COVID-19 will affect our global operations generally if these impacts persist or exacerbate over an extended period of time. Any of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For further discussion, see the risk factor within PART II – OTHER INFORMATION, Item 1.A Risk Factors, entitled “Our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the related effects on public health.

Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates, collection risk associated with our accounts and notes receivable portfolio and variability in currency exchange rates. We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates in our international operations. Exposure to this variability is periodically managed primarily through the use of natural hedges, whereby funding obligations and assets are both managed in the local currency. From time-to-time, we enter into currency exchange agreements to manage exposures arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific and forecasted transactions. We operate this program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currencies. The maximum length of time over which we hedge transaction exposures is generally 15 months. Derivative gains and losses, initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are reclassified to earnings in the period when the transaction affects earnings.

Refer to Note 6 - 6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity for discussions and quantitative disclosures about our derivative agreements.

For additional information on market risks related to our pension plan assets, see Item 7A -7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the supervision and participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of DecemberMarch 31, 2019.2020. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers and our Board of Directors, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of DecemberMarch 31, 2019.2020.

Beginning October 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, which resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We performed implementation controls, including reviews of lease contracts, to adopt the new standard, and implemented certain changes in our ongoing lease processes and control activities, which included enhancements to lease review and valuation processes, and gathering of information for disclosures.

With the exception of the above, thereThere have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred in our most recent completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Refer to Note 15 - 15. Commitments and Contingencies for further information on our legal proceedings.


Item 1A.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There
Our business involves risks. With the exception of the below risk, there have been no material changes to our risk factors as disclosed in Item 1A -1A. Risk Factors in our 2019 Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. The following information about the risk should be considered carefully together with the other information contained herein.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition andprospects could be materially and adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the related effects on public health.

We are susceptible to a widespread outbreak of an illness or other public health issue, such as the recent COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in confirmed cases in regions and countries in which we conduct our business. Such outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could, among other things:

interrupt, slow, or render our supply chains inoperable, resulting in more expensive alternative sources of labor and materials or an inability to find such alternative sources of labor and materials for our products;
subject us to governmental mandates and quarantines that may require forced shutdowns of our facilities for extended or indefinite periods due to public health measures;
increase regulation of our industry, up to and including the exercise of war powers under The Defense Production Act of 1950 that could require us to turn over our production capabilities to the U.S. Government;
substantially interfere with general commercial activity related to our customer base if our customers’ businesses are affected by the outbreak, including through delays or reductions of our customers’ purchases from us;
cause health care providers to limit or restrict access to their facilities to only essential personnel for a material amount of time, adversely impacting our ability to complete installations of our care communications offerings and operating room equipment, and limiting contact with our sales personnel;
reduce the number of ambulatory care or office visits if health care providers prioritize pandemic-related treatment and governmental and industry associations recommend the deferral of elective surgeries;
cause our employees, including key executives, our production and service workforce and functional team members to become ill, quarantined or otherwise unable to work or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions;
increase absenteeism or cause workplace disruption related to employees working from home or remotely;
contribute to adverse changes in general domestic and global economic conditions, including recession or economic slowdown and disruption of domestic and international credit markets, which could negatively impact our customers’ ability to pay us as well as our ability to access capital thatcould in the future negatively affect our liquidity;
result in the establishment of trade barriers that disrupt the flow of goods and increase costs associated with logistics and transportation;
decrease our ability to grow our business through mergers, acquisitions and other similar business arrangements during any such pandemic or other outbreak as targets focus on operating their respective businesses;
negatively impact innovation and development of new products as our R&D teams may be required to work from home and resources and energy may be redirected during any such outbreak; or
contribute to a recession or market correction that could adversely affect the value of our common stock.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread and escalate domestically or internationally, or if governments impose additional measures intended to mitigate the spread and related effects of the pandemic, the risks described above could be elevated significantly.

There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects and could heighten many of our known risks described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2019 Form 10-K.
