Irvine, California, October 29, 2014 - Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 27, 2014.

Third quarter 2014 product revenues rose 10% to $137.1 million, compared to $124.5 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, and total revenue, including royalties, rose 10% to $144.1 million, up from $131.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

The company’s worldwide direct product revenue in the third quarter of 2014 rose by 9% compared to the same period in 2013 and represented 85% of product revenue. OEM sales, which accounted for 15% of product revenue, rose by 16% compared to the same period in 2013. Revenue from sales of Masimo rainbow products rose by 10% to $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $12.0 million in the prior year period.

Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $14.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013. During the third quarter of 2014, the company shipped approximately 42,600 SET^® pulse oximetry and rainbow^® Pulse CO-Oximetry^™ units, excluding handheld units. Masimo estimates its worldwide installed base as of September 27, 2014 to be 1,289,000 units, up 9% from 1,180,000 units as of September 28, 2013.

Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, “We are happy with the acceleration in our year over year as well as our sequential quarterly SET^®revenue growth. In fact, for the first time since 2010, our third quarter SET^® and total product revenues exceeded the prior sequential second quarter levels. We are also encouraged by the sequential improvement in our product gross profit margins which are beginning to reflect the benefit of our value engineering program over the past two years.”

As of September 27, 2014, Masimo’s cash and cash equivalents were $119.0 million, compared to $95.5 million as of December 28, 2013. Additionally, during the first nine months of 2014, the company borrowed $125.0 million on its line of credit. During the third quarter, the company repurchased approximately 2.4 million shares of stock for $52.7 million, leading to repurchases of approximately 4.4 million shares of stock for $101.9 million through the third quarter of 2014, with approximately 0.6 million shares remaining in our original 6.0 million share repurchase program announced on February 14, 2013. In addition, the Board recently authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 3.0 million shares.

2014 Financial Guidance

Masimo is providing updated 2014 financial guidance. Masimo now expects fiscal 2014 total revenue to be approximately $585 million, including product revenue of approximately $556 million and royalty revenue of approximately $29 million. This represents a decline in the prior guidance for total 2014 revenues of approximately $588 million to $593 million, which included product revenues of $560 million to $565 million and royalty revenue of approximately $28 million. Despite the reduction in total product revenue and partially offsetting increase in royalty revenue guidance, Masimo expects fiscal 2014 GAAP earnings per diluted share to be approximately $1.28, within the prior range of $1.24 to $1.30. The guidance set forth above is an estimate only and actual performance could differ.

About Masimo

Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is the global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care-helping solve “unsolvable” problems. In 1995, the company debuted Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET^®, which virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies have shown that Masimo SET^® outperforms other pulse oximetry technologies, even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow SET^® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb^®), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO^®), methemoglobin (SpMet^®), and Pleth Variability Index (PVI^®), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI).
