ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Business

Haemonetics is a global healthcare company dedicated to providing a suite of innovative medical products and solutions for customers, to help them improve patient care and reduce the cost of healthcare. Our technology addresses important medical markets: blood and plasma component collection, the surgical suite and hospital transfusion services. When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” mean Haemonetics.

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, plasma donor management software, and anticoagulant and saline sold to plasma customers. “Blood Center” includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for red cells, platelets and whole blood. “Hospital”, which is comprised of Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage, Transfusion Management and Vascular Closure products, includes devices and methodologies for measuring coagulation characteristics of blood, surgical blood salvage systems, specialized blood cell processing systems and disposables, blood transfusion management software and vascular closure devices.

We believe that Plasma and Hospital have growth potential, while Blood Center competes in challenging markets that require us to manage the business differently, including reducing costs, shrinking the scope of the current product line, and evaluating opportunities to exit unfavorable customer contracts.

Recent Developments

CSL Contract Loss

In April 2021, CSL informed us of its intent not to renew its supply agreement for the use of PCS2 plasma collection system devices and the purchase of disposable plasmapheresis kits (the “Supply Agreement”) following the expiration of the current term of the Supply Agreement in June 2022. In fiscal year 2021, revenue under this Supply Agreement was $88.6 million, or 10.2% of total revenue. As a result of this anticipated contract loss, we recorded a $20.9 million one-time asset impairment charge relating to disposables manufacturing equipment and $5.0 million of additional expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we expect to incur an additional $3.4 million of accelerated depreciation expense relating to disposables manufacturing equipment previously placed into service that will cease being used.

Issuance of Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The total net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs, were $486.7 million. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Approximately $47.4 million of the net proceeds from the offering were used to fund the cost of entering into Capped Call Transactions and the balance was used to reduce our indebtedness under the Credit Facilities and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Acquisitions

Cardiva Medical, Inc.

On March 1, 2021, we acquired Cardiva an industry-leading manufacturer of vascular closure systems based in Santa Clara, California for total consideration of $489.8 million, which consisted of upfront payments of $465.5 million ($418.2 million net of cash acquired) and the fair value of contingent consideration of $24.3 million. The purchase price is subject to customary working capital and certain other adjustments as of the closing of the transaction and a maximum of $35.0 million in contingent consideration payable over the next two years based on sales growth. We financed the acquisition through a combination of cash, borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and an additional $150.0 million term loan. These borrowings were subsequently paid in full during the same period using the proceeds from the 2026 Notes.

vascular procedures. The VASCADE MVP® vascular closure system is designed for “mid-bore” multi-access femoral venous closure, generally used in electrophysiology procedures, and is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved closure device for use following cardiac ablation procedures requiring two or more access sites within the same vessel. The addition of the VASCADE portfolio to our Hospital business unit includes products with demonstrated benefits and enhances penetration into the large and growing interventional cardiology and electrophysiology markets.

HAS Intellectual Property

In January 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire certain intellectual property owned by HemoAssay Science and Technology (Suzhou) Co. Ltd., a China-incorporated company, and its affiliates (collectively, “HemoAssay”) underlying their HAS viscoelastic diagnostic devices, related assays and disposables. We previously entered into exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreements with HemoAssay pursuant to which we have exclusive rights to commercialize HemoAssay’s HAS devices in China. In connection with the transaction, we have agreed to pay up to $15.0 million to HemoAssay in contingent consideration based on certain developmental and manufacturing based milestones. These products augment our portfolio of hemostasis analyzers within the Hospital business unit.

enicor GmbH

On April 1, 2020, we acquired enicor GmbH (“enicor”), the manufacturer of ClotPro®, a new generation whole blood coagulation testing system that is currently available in select European and Asia Pacific markets, for total consideration of $20.5 million, which consisted of upfront payments of $16.6 million and the fair value of contingent consideration of $3.9 million. The contingent consideration, which could total a maximum of $4.5 million, consists of payments related to the achievement of certain revenue and regulatory milestones. The acquisition of this viscoelastic diagnostic device augments the Company's portfolio of hemostasis analyzers within the Hospital business unit.

Refer to Note 4, Acquisitions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Persona®

On October 2, 2020, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for our NexSys PCS® with Persona technology. NexSys PCS with Persona technology uses a percent plasma nomogram that customizes plasma collection based on an individual donor's body composition. The new, proprietary Persona technology strengthens the NexSys PCS value proposition and reinforces our commitment to supporting the plasma industry.

COVID-19

We continue to closely manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business results of operations and financial condition. The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic during fiscal 2021 significantly impacted our financial results. While the duration and additional implications remain uncertain, the full extent of the impact will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

Our priorities continue to be the safety of our employees and business continuity while continuing to invest in growth opportunities. Our manufacturing and supply chain remain operational without significant disruptions and we continue to operate in all of our markets.

Although the pace and timing of the recovery is uncertain, we remain confident in the long term strength of the end markets that we serve across our three business units. For additional information regarding the expected impacts to our business units and the various risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Results of Operations within Management's Discussion and Analysis and Risk Factors contained in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Divestitures

Fajardo, Puerto Rico Manufacturing Operations

On June 29, 2020, we sold our Fajardo, Puerto Rico, manufacturing operations to GVS, S.p.A (“GVS”), a leading provider of advanced filtration solutions for critical applications for $15.1 million ($7.8 million, net of cash transferred). Under the terms of the agreement, Haemonetics retained all intellectual property rights to its proprietary blood filters currently manufactured at its Fajardo facility and GVS acquired certain assets consisting primarily of property, plant and equipment, inventory and cash and has assumed certain related liabilities. In addition, the two parties entered into a long-term supply and development agreement that, among other things, grants GVS exclusive rights to manufacture and supply the blood filters currently produced at the Fajardo facility for Haemonetics. This divestiture will allow Haemonetics to utilize GVS' experience and scale in filtration to deliver reliable, cost-efficient products to its customers.

U.S. Blood Donor Management Software

On July 1, 2020, we sold certain U.S. blood donor management software solution assets within our Blood Center business unit to the GPI Group for an upfront cash payment of $14.0 million ($13.6 million, net of working capital adjustments) and recognized a $13.2 million gain on the sale. In addition to the cash received upon closing, we may also receive up to an additional $14.0 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance measures. This divestiture better positions Haemonetics for sustainable growth by enabling the Company to focus on its core capabilities while delivering quality products and services where it brings distinct value.

Inlog Holdings France

On September 18, 2020, we sold our wholly-owned subsidiary Inlog Holdings France SAS to Abénex Capital (“Abénex”), a private equity firm based in France for $30.5 million ($24.5 million, net of cash transferred) and recognized a gain of $20.0 million. Inlog Holdings France SAS, through its subsidiary In Log SAS, develops and sells blood bank and hospital software solutions used predominantly in France and in several other countries outside of the U.S. This divestiture and the sale of our U.S. blood donor management software better position us to focus on our growth segments.

Refer to Note 5, Divestitures, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Restructuring Program

In July 2019, our Board of Directors approved an Operational Excellence Program (the “2020 Program”) and delegated authority to management to determine the detail of the initiatives that will comprise the program. The 2020 Program is designed to improve operational performance and reduce cost principally in our manufacturing and supply chain operations. We initially expected to incur aggregate charges between $60 million and $70 million by the end of fiscal 2023 and to achieve savings of $80 million to $90 million on an annualized basis once the program is completed. We believe the 2020 Program will continue to provide future savings, however, we are currently assessing the potential impact CSL's decision not to renew its Supply Agreement on the expected timing, charges and savings. The majority of charges will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, and will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved. During the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021, we incurred $15.1 million of restructuring and turnaround costs under this program. Total cumulative charges under this program are $27.0 million as of April 3, 2021.

Market Trends

Plasma Market

There are two key aspects to the market for our plasma products - the growth in demand for plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals and the limited number of significant biopharmaceutical companies in this market.

Changes in demand for plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals, particularly immunoglobulin, are the key driver of plasma collection volumes in the biopharmaceutical market. Various factors related to the supply of plasma and the production of plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals also affect collection volume, including the following:

Table of Contents

•Biopharmaceutical companies are seeking more yield from the collected plasma to meet growing demand for biopharmaceuticals without requiring an equivalent increase in plasma supply.

•Newly approved indications for auto-immune diseases treated with plasma-derived therapies, the growing understanding and diagnosis of these diseases, longer lifespans and a growing aging patient population increase the demand for plasma.

•Geographical expansion of biopharmaceuticals also increases demand for plasma.

During fiscal 2021 the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced the number of source plasma collections in the U.S., which materially reduced the demand for plasma products. We continue to view the impacts of the pandemic on plasma collection as temporary and remain confident in the strength of the plasma end market growth as the long-term global demand for plasma-derived pharmaceuticals is expected to continue. Because plasma collected in the U.S. supplies the vast majority of plasma volume demand worldwide, we anticipate continued growth in North America in future periods as collection volumes benefit from an expanding end user market for plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals.

Despite the overall growth in the market, the number of biopharmaceutical companies that collect and fractionate source plasma is low and industry consolidation is ongoing. Significant barriers to entry exist for new entrants due to high capital outlay requirements for fractionation, long regulatory pathways to the licensing of collection centers and fractionation facilities and approval of plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals. As a result, there are relatively few customers for our Plasma products, especially in the U.S. where over 70% of the world's source plasma is collected and only a few customers provide the majority of our Plasma revenue.

Blood Center Market

In the Blood Center market, we sell automated blood component and manual whole blood collection systems. While we sell products around the world, a significant portion of our sales are to a limited number of customers due to relatively limited number of blood collectors.

Within the Blood Center market, we have seen three trends that have negatively impacted growth of the overall marketplace despite the overall increase in aging populations. Overall, we continue to expect a decline in this business in the low to mid single-digits.

•Declining transfusion rates in mature markets due to the development of more minimally invasive procedures with lower associated blood loss, as well as better blood management.

•Competition in multi-unit collection technology for automated blood component collection systems has intensified and has negatively impacted our sales in markets where these collections are prevalent.

▪Industry consolidation through group purchasing organizations has intensified pricing competition particularly in the manual whole blood collection systems.

Hospital Markets

Hemostasis Management Market - The use of routine coagulation testing is well established throughout the world in various medical procedures, including cardiovascular surgery, organ transplantation, trauma, post-partum hemorrhage and percutaneous coronary intervention. While standard tests like prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and platelet count have limited ability to reveal a patient’s risk for bleeding, they do not provide information on the patient’s risk for thrombosis. In addition, these routine tests do not provide specific data about clot quality or stability. As a result of these limitations, clinicians are increasingly utilizing advanced hemostasis testing to provide more information about a patient’s hemostasis status, resulting in improved clinical decision-making. In addition, advanced hemostasis testing supports hospital efforts to reduce the risks, complications and costs associated with unnecessary blood component transfusions.

Haemonetics’ TEG®, ClotPro® and HAS hemostasis analyzer systems are advanced diagnostic tools that provide a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s overall hemostasis. This information enables clinicians to decide the most appropriate clinical treatment for the patient to minimize blood loss and reduce clotting risk. For example, TEG analyzers have been used to support clinical decision making in open cardiovascular surgery and organ transplantation, becoming the standard of care in

Table of Contents

liver transplants. In more recent years, interest has grown into the utilization of TEG in trauma and other procedures in which the risk of hemorrhage and thrombosis are high.

Geographically, TEG systems have achieved the highest market penetration in North America, Europe and China. However, there are considerable growth opportunities in these as well as other markets, as TEG systems become more established as the standard of care around the world. Our ClotPro system is currently available in select European and Asian markets and is not available for use or sale in the U.S. The HAS-100 is currently commercialized in China.

Cell Salvage Market - In recent years, more efficient blood use and less invasive surgeries have reduced demand for autotransfusion in these procedures and contributed to intense competition in mature markets, while increased access to healthcare in emerging economies has provided new markets and sources of growth. Orthopedic procedures have seen similar changes with improved blood management practices, including the use of tranexamic acid to treat and prevent postoperative bleeding, significantly reducing the number of transfusions and autotransfusion. Geographically, the Cell Saver® has achieved the highest market penetration in North America, Europe and Japan. However, there are considerable growth opportunities in certain Asia Pacific and other emerging markets as addressable procedure volumes grow and the use of autotransfusion is becoming accepted as a standard of care.

Transfusion Management Market - Revenues from BloodTrack® have increased in the U.S. and Europe in recent years as hospitals seek means to improve efficiencies and meet compliance guidelines for tracking and dispositioning blood components to patients. SafeTrace Tx®'s leading market share in the U.S. remains steady and in fiscal 2021 launched in the United Kingdom. We continue to explore opportunities to expand the portfolio internationally.

Vascular Closure Market - Our target market, coronary and peripheral procedures and electrophysiology procedures, are highly concentrated in the U.S. The mature market of coronary and peripheral procedures consists of interventions to diagnose and treat vascular diseases. Electrophysiology procedures consist of catheter-based interventions to diagnose and treat cardiac arrhythmias. This procedure category is expected to grow based on the increasing incidence and prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias, mainly in the U.S.

Financial Summary

Fiscal Year

% of pre-tax income (9.0) % 12.2 % 25.3 %

% of net revenues 9.1 % 7.7 % 5.7 %

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal year 2021 included 53 weeks with each of the first three quarters having 13 weeks and the fourth quarter having 14 weeks. Fiscal year 2020 and 2019 included 52 weeks with each quarter having 13 weeks.

Net revenues for fiscal 2021 decreased 11.9% compared with fiscal 2020. Without the effects of foreign exchange, net revenues decreased 12.9% compared with fiscal 2020. Revenue decreases in Plasma due to the COVID-19 pandemic primarily drove the overall decrease in revenue during the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021.

Table of Contents

Net revenues for fiscal 2020 increased 2.2% compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effects of foreign exchange, net revenues increased 2.8% compared with fiscal 2019. Revenue increases in Plasma and Hospital primarily drove the overall increase in revenue during the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020. This increase was partially offset by declines in our Blood Center business unit.

Operating income decreased during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue and gross margin, offset by gain on divestitures, incremental savings from the 2020 Program and lower asset impairment charges and depreciation expense.

Operating income increased during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019, primarily due to favorable pricing, product mix and incremental savings from both the 2020 Program and the Complexity Reduction Initiative (the “2018 Program”). The gain recognized on the sale of real estate and other assets associated with the Braintree corporate headquarters also contributed to the increase. Impairment charges associated with the divestiture of our plasma liquid solutions operations to CSL partially offset these increases during fiscal 2020.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Revenues by Geography

International Operations and the Impact of Foreign Exchange

Our principal operations are in the United States, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. Our products are marketed in approximately 90 countries around the world through a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors and agents.

The percentage of revenue generated in our principle operating regions is summarized below:

Fiscal Year

Table of Contents

International sales are generally conducted in local currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Euro, Chinese Yuan and Australian Dollar. Our results of operations are impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in the value of the Yen, Euro and Australian Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar. We have placed foreign currency hedges 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.

Net Revenues by Business Unit

Plasma

Plasma revenue decreased 27.6% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020. There was no foreign exchange impact on Plasma revenue during fiscal 2021. This revenue decrease was primarily driven by a decline in the volume of plasma disposables, primarily in the U.S., due to the COVID-19 pandemic and declines in plasma liquid solutions as a result of certain strategic exits within our liquid solutions business. Declines in software revenue due to a one-time favorable impact in the prior year period also contributed to the decrease.

We continue experiencing the negative impact of COVID-19 on our business. While the timing of plasma collection recovery remains uncertain, we believe the impacts of the pandemic on plasma collection are temporary and anticipate volumes to recover by the end of fiscal 2022. We remain confident in the strength of the plasma end market growth as the long-term global demand for plasma-derived pharmaceuticals is expected to continue.

In early April 2021, CSL informed us of its intent not to renew its supply agreement for the use of PCS2 plasma collection system devices and the purchase of disposable plasmapheresis kits following the expiration of the current term of the Supply Agreement in June 2022. In fiscal 2021, revenue under this Supply Agreement was $88.6 million.

Plasma revenue increased 7.5% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Plasma revenue increased 7.9% during fiscal 2020. This revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in volume of plasma disposables due to continued strong performance in the U.S., favorable NexSys PCS pricing and increases in sales of software. This increase was partially offset by declines in plasma liquid solutions during fiscal 2020 due to certain strategic exits within our plasma liquid solutions business, including the divestiture of our Union, South Carolina facility during fiscal 2020.

Blood Center

Blood Center revenue decreased 3.2% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Blood Center revenue decreased 5.6% during fiscal 2021 primarily due to continued declines in whole blood disposables and the divestiture of certain blood donor management software solution assets. These declines were partially offset by increases in apheresis revenue, despite certain customers' conversions to alternative sources of supply, due to the impact distributor stocking orders in the first quarter and the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. The impact of the loss of this apheresis business is an incremental revenue decline of approximately $17.0 million in fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020.

Table of Contents

We have not yet experienced the reversal of the large stocking orders made by distributors and blood collectors during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we may experience a reversal in future periods.

Blood Center revenue decreased 3.6% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Blood Center revenue decreased 2.9% during fiscal 2020. This decrease was primarily driven by declines in whole blood disposables and software revenue. Apheresis also contributed to the overall decline as certain customers converted to alternative sources of supply.

Hospital

Hospital revenue increased 8.9% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020 despite the negative impact of COVID-19, primarily in China and the U.S, early in the fiscal year. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Hospital revenue increased 8.2% during fiscal 2021.This increase was primarily attributable to a recent acquisition, TEG® disposable revenue in the U.S. and equipment sales in Europe. The increases were partially offset by declines in Cell Salvage revenue and the divestiture of certain blood bank and hospital software solution assets. We believe that the demand for our hospital products is inherently strong and that procedure volumes will continue to improve with a return to normal levels in during fiscal 2022.

Hospital revenue increased 0.6% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effect of foreign exchange, Hospital revenue increased 2.0% during fiscal 2020.This increase was primarily attributable to the growth of disposables associated with TEG diagnostic systems, principally in the U.S.

Gross Profit

Fiscal Year

Gross profit decreased 17.9% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020. Without the effects of foreign exchange, gross profit decreased 19.6% during fiscal 2021. The decrease in the gross profit margin during fiscal 2021 was primarily due to unfavorable volumes and product mix, asset impairments, higher operational costs from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, recent divestitures and the amortization of the fair value inventory step-up related to the acquisition of Cardiva. The decline was partially offset by lower depreciation expense and productivity savings from the 2020 Program, the 53rd week in fiscal 2021 and recent acquisitions.

Gross profit increased 16.0% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effects of foreign exchange, gross profit increased 17.1% during fiscal 2020. The increase in the gross profit margin during fiscal 2020 was primarily due to favorable pricing driven by the annualization of NexSys PCS device conversions, incremental savings from both the 2020 Program and the complexity reduction initiative, product mix, and the absence of impairment charges that were incurred in the prior year.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased 6.4% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020. Without the effects of foreign exchange, research and development expenses increased 6.1% during fiscal 2021. The increase in fiscal 2021 was primarily due to increased spend related to European Medical Device Regulation costs, recent acquisitions and continued investments in our Plasma and Hospital Business units. The increases were partially offset by cost savings primarily related to the 2020 Program.

Research and development expenses decreased 13.5% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effects of foreign exchange, research and development expenses decreased 13.4% during fiscal 2020. The decrease in fiscal 2020 was primarily driven by investments made in clinical programs in the prior year period in order to support FDA clearance for the use of TEG 6s in adult trauma settings, which was received in May 2019.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2.8% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020. Without the effects of foreign exchange, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 3.5% during fiscal 2021. The decrease in fiscal 2021 was primarily due to cost containment actions taken to offset the negative effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic, incremental productivity savings from the 2020 Program and a reduction in restructuring and turnaround costs.

The decrease was partially offset by higher transaction and integration costs, increased deal amortization expense as a result of recent acquisitions and higher share-based and variable compensation expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3.1% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effects of foreign exchange, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.1% during fiscal 2020. The increase in fiscal 2020 was primarily due to an increase in investments, share-based compensation expense, restructuring and turnaround costs and PCS2 related costs. This increase was partially offset by incremental savings from both the 2020 Program and the complexity reduction initiative.

Table of Contents

Amortization of Intangible Assets

We recognized amortization expense of $32.8 million and $25.7 million during fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in intangible assets resulting from recent acquisitions.

Impairment of Assets

We recognized impairment charges of $1.0 million during fiscal 2021 in connection with the sale of our Fajardo, Puerto Rico, manufacturing operations. We recognized impairment charges of $50.6 million during fiscal 2020 in connection with the sale of our Union, South Carolina facility. Refer to Note 5, Divestitures, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information pertaining to these agreements.

Gains on Divestitures

We recognized gains on divestitures of $32.8 million during fiscal 2021. Refer to Note 5, Divestitures, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information pertaining to these divestitures. We recognized gains of $8.1 million due to the sale of assets associated with our Braintree corporate headquarters during fiscal 2020.

Interest and Other Expense, Net

Interest and other expenses increased 3.9% during fiscal 2021 as compared with fiscal 2020. Without the effects of foreign exchange, interest and other expenses increased 4.8% during fiscal 2021. The increase is primarily driven by realized losses on interest rate swaps due to declining rates, interest and debt issuance costs incurred in connection with short-term financing for the Cardiva acquisition and amortization of the debt discount associated with the 2026 Notes partially offset by a reduction in interest expense from borrowings under our $350.0 million term loan and $350.0 million revolving loan. The effective interest rate on total debt outstanding for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 was 1.4%.

Interest and other expenses increased 63.4% during fiscal 2020 as compared with fiscal 2019. Without the effects of foreign exchange, interest and other expenses increased 68.3% during fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a reduction in capitalized interest, realized losses on interest rate swaps due to declining rates, and an increase in interest expense from borrowings under our $350.0 million term loan and $350.0 million revolving loan. The effective interest rate on total debt outstanding for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 was 2.9%.

Income Taxes

Fiscal Year

Reported Tax Rate

We conduct business globally and report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the U.S. Our reported tax rate is impacted by 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.

We have assessed, on a jurisdictional basis, the available means of recovering deferred tax assets, including the ability to carry-back net operating losses, the existence of reversing temporary differences, the availability of tax planning strategies and available sources of future taxable income. As of April 3, 2021, we maintain a valuation allowance against certain U.S. state deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not realizable and have a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries.

For the year ended April 3, 2021, we recorded an income tax benefit of $6.6 million on our worldwide pre-tax income of $72.9 million, resulting in a reported tax rate of (9.0)%. Our effective tax rate for the year ended April 3, 2021 is lower than our effective tax rates of 12.2% and 25.3% for the years ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, respectively. The decrease in our tax rate for fiscal 2021, as compared with fiscal 2020, is primarily the result of a deferred tax asset recorded related to the U.S. purchase of intellectual property, a non-recurring tax benefit from the release of a portion of the valuation allowance due to

Table of Contents

taxable temporary differences acquired with the acquisition of Cardiva being available as a source of income to realize certain pre-existing deferred tax assets, favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings, and a decrease in the global intangible low taxed income inclusion due to legislation enacted during the year, offset by lower tax benefits associated with windfall stock compensation deductions as compared to fiscal 2020. Our decrease in tax rate for fiscal 2020, as compared with fiscal 2019, is primarily the result of tax benefits associated with windfall stock compensation deductions and favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings partially offset by the impact of changes in valuation allowance, tax reserves and increased nondeductible executive compensation.

Income Tax Acts

Beginning in fiscal 2019, we incorporated the certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) in the calculation of the tax provision and effective tax rate, including the provisions related to global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”), foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), base erosion anti abuse Tax (“BEAT”), as well as other provisions which limit tax deductibility of expenses. Under the GILTI provisions, U.S. taxes are imposed on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of its foreign subsidiaries. The ability to benefit from a deduction and foreign tax credits against a portion of the GILTI income may be limited under the GILTI rules as a result of the utilization of net operating losses, foreign sourced income, and other potential limitations within the foreign tax credit calculation.

In July 2020, the U.S. Treasury issued final regulations and additional proposed regulations that address the application of the high-taxed exclusion from GILTI. Under these regulations, the Company can make an annual election to exclude from its GILTI calculation, income from its foreign subsidiaries whose effective income tax rate exceeds 18.9% for that year. The regulations must be applied for tax years beginning after July 23, 2020 but companies have the option to apply them retroactively for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before July 23, 2020.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in the United States on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package that includes spending and tax breaks to strengthen the United States economy and fund a nationwide effort to curtail the effect of COVID-19. While the CARES Act provides extensive tax changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table contains certain key performance indicators we believe depict our liquidity and cash flow position:

Current ratio 2.7 2.2

Days sales outstanding (DSO) 51 62

Inventory turnover 1.2 1.7

(1)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, our Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds from employee stock option exercises. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months. Our expected cash outlays relate primarily to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures and the build out of our new manufacturing facility in Clinton, PA, cash payments under the loan agreement and restructuring and turnaround initiatives.

In March 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026, or the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The total net proceeds from the sale of the 2026 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and debt issuance costs, were approximately $486.7 million. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The 2026 Notes have an effective interest rate of 4.21% as of April 3, 2021.

Table of Contents

As of April 3, 2021, we had $192.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, the majority of which is held in the U.S. or in countries from which it can be freely repatriated to the U.S. On June 15, 2018, we entered into a five-year credit agreement which provided for a $350.0 million Term Loan and a $350.0 million Revolving Credit Facility, which we refer to together as the Credit Facilities. Interest on the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility is established using LIBOR plus 1.13% - 1.75%, depending on our leverage ratio. Under the Credit Facilities, we are required to maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in the credit agreement as well as other customary non-financial affirmative and negative covenants. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into an additional $150.0 million term loan under the existing Credit Facilities and borrowed $290.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of Cardiva. Both of these borrowings were subsequently paid in full during the same period using the proceeds from the 2026 Notes. In connection with the additional $150 million term loan borrowing, the Company and its lenders also agreed to increase the maximum consolidated leverage ratio the Company is required to maintain for the four consecutive quarters immediately following the closing of the Cardiva acquisition to 4.25:1.0, after which the maximum consolidated leverage ratio the Company is required to maintain will revert to 3.5:1.0.

As of April 3, 2021, $301.9 million was outstanding under the Term Loan and no borrowings were outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, both, with an effective interest rate of 1.4%. We also had $25.7 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund our global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of April 3, 2021.

During fiscal 2021, we paid $21.9 million in scheduled principal repayments for the Term Loan. We have scheduled principal repayments of $301.9 million required through fiscal 2024. We were in compliance with the leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in the credit agreement as well as all other bank covenants as of April 3, 2021.

In July 2019, our Board of Directors approved the 2020 Program. We estimate that we will incur aggregate charges between $60 million and $70 million in connection with the 2020 Program. These charges, the majority of which will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2023. During fiscal 2021 and 2020, we incurred $15.1 million and $11.9 million of restructuring and turnaround costs under this program, respectively.

In May 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of Haemonetics common shares over the two year period ending May 2021. As of April 3, 2021, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program was $325.0 million. We did not make any additional share repurchases under this program which expired in May 2021.

Cash Flows

Fiscal Year

Net cash provided by (used in):

Table of Contents

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $108.8 million during fiscal 2021, a decrease of $49.4 million as compared with fiscal 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a reduction in net income, as adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges compared with the prior year period, partially offset by a decrease in working capital outflow as compared with the prior year period due to lower inventory growth, primarily related to NexSys PCS devices, a decline in the build of accounts receivable due to lower sales and improved collection timing and a payment for a compensation-related liability paid at the closing of the Cardiva acquisition.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $158.2 million during fiscal 2020, a decrease of $1.1 million as compared with fiscal 2019. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a working capital outflow driven by an increase in inventory build to support the launch of the NexSys PCS devices and decreases in accounts payable and accrued payroll. Net income, as adjusted for depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and a decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of collections partially offset the decrease in operating activities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $425.4 million during fiscal 2021, an increase of $368.3 million as compared with fiscal 2020. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of cash paid for acquisitions. The increase was partially offset by an increase in proceeds received relating to divestitures and a decrease in capital expenditures.

Net cash used in investing activities was $57.2 million during fiscal 2020, a decrease of $59.0 million as compared with fiscal 2019. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of a decrease in capital expenditures in fiscal 2020 due to the NexSys PCS launch and manufacturing capacity expansion projects in our Plasma business unit in fiscal 2019. Proceeds received related to the divestiture of our plasma liquid solutions operations and sale of real estate and other assets associated with the Braintree corporate headquarters in fiscal 2020 also contributed to the decrease in cash used in investing activities. This decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of the technology underlying the TEG 6s system during fiscal 2020.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $367.5 million during fiscal 2021, an increase of $498.7 million as compared with fiscal 2020. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the $500.0 million of proceeds related to the 2026 Notes entered into in March 2021 and a decrease in share repurchases compared with the prior year period. The increase was partially offset by the repayment of borrowings on our revolving credit facility, the purchase of the Capped Call on the 2026 Notes and higher payments on our term loan.

Net cash used in financing activities was $131.2 million during fiscal 2020, an increase of $80.6 million as compared with fiscal 2019. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower borrowings, net of payments, on our Credit Facilities and increased share repurchases in fiscal 2020.

Table of Contents

Contractual Obligations

A summary of our contractual and commercial commitments as of April 3, 2021 is as follows:

Payments Due by Period

(In thousands) Total Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years

The above table does not reflect our long-term liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits of $3.6 million recorded in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. We cannot reasonably make a reliable estimate of the period in which we expect to settle these long-term liabilities due to factors outside of our control, such as tax examinations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

While approximately 49% of our revenue during fiscal 2021 was generated by our ten largest customers, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to our large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. Certain markets and industries, however, can expose us to concentrations of credit risk. For example, in the Plasma business unit, sales are concentrated with several large customers. As a result, accounts receivable extended to any one of these biopharmaceutical customers can be significant at any point in time. In addition, a portion of our trade accounts receivable outside the U.S. include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays and local economic conditions. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries' national economies.

We have not incurred significant losses on receivables. We continually evaluate all receivables for potential collection risks associated with the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices. If the financial condition of customers or the countries' healthcare systems deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, allowances may be required in future periods.

Legal Proceedings

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for legal matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount may be reasonably estimated. Actual settlements may be different than estimated and could have a material impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position and/or cash flows. For a discussion of our material legal proceedings refer to Note 16, Commitments & Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations for the periods presented. Historically, we believe we have been able to mitigate the effects of inflation by improving our manufacturing and purchasing efficiencies, by increasing employee productivity and by adjusting the selling prices of products. We continue to monitor inflation pressures generally and raw materials indices that may affect our procurement and production costs. Increases in the price of petroleum derivatives could result in corresponding increases in our costs to procure plastic raw materials.

Table of Contents

Foreign Exchange

During fiscal 2021, 40.0% of our sales were generated outside the U.S., generally in foreign currencies, yet our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency. Our primary foreign currency exposures relate to sales denominated in Euro, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Australian Dollars. We also have foreign currency exposure related to manufacturing and other operational costs denominated in Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit. The Yen, Euro, Yuan and Australian Dollar sales exposure is partially mitigated by costs and expenses for foreign operations and sourcing products denominated in foreign currencies.

Since our foreign currency denominated Yen, Euro, Yuan and Australian Dollar sales exceed the foreign currency denominated costs, whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the Yen, Euro, Yuan or Australian Dollar, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations and, conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to the Yen, Euro, Yuan or Australian Dollar, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. For Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit our primary cash flows relate to product costs or costs and expenses of local operations. Whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to these foreign currencies, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. Conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to these currencies, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have a program in place that is designed to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. We utilize forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen and Euro, and to a lesser extent Swiss Francs, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars and Mexican Pesos. This does not eliminate the volatility of foreign exchange rates, but because we generally enter into forward contracts one year out, rates are fixed for a one-year period, thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The final impact of currency fluctuations on the results of operations is dependent on the local currency amounts hedged and the actual local currency results.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards to be Implemented

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance will improve consistent application of and simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principals in Topic 740. ASC Update No. 2019-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and is applicable to us in fiscal 2022. We are in the process of determining the effect that the adoption will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASC ASU Update No. 2020-06 Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The amendments simplify the complexity associated with applying U.S. GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We early adopted ASC Update No. 2020-06 effective April 4, 2021 using the modified retrospective method, which will result in a decrease of approximately $81.3 million to additional paid-in capital and an increase of approximately $80.3 million to non-current convertible notes, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, retained earnings will be adjusted to remove amortization expense recognized in prior periods related to the debt discount and the convertible notes will no longer have a debt discount that will be amortized. The impact to retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 4, 2021 is an increase of approximately $1.0 million. While we do not expect a material impact to our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows upon adoption, non-cash interest expense associated with the amortization of debt discounts will be reduced in future periods.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We consider an estimate to be a “critical

Table of Contents

accounting estimate” when (i) the nature of the estimate is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and (ii) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The accounting policies and estimates identified as critical are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration related to rebates, product returns and volume discounts. These reserves, which are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales, are recorded as a reduction of revenue and a current liability. Our estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. Revenue recognized in the current period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material. If we are unable to estimate the expected rebates reasonably, we record a liability for the maximum potential rebate or discount that could be earned. In circumstances where we provide upfront rebate payments to customers, we capitalize the rebate payments and amortize the resulting asset as a reduction of revenue using a systematic method over the life of the contract. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 8, Revenue, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Although we use consistent methodologies in developing the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value calculations used in our impairment tests, these estimates are uncertain by nature and can vary from actual results. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated revenue projections, growth rates, cash flows and discount rates could result in different fair value estimates.

Future events that could have a negative impact on the levels of excess fair value over carrying value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Decreases in estimated market sizes or market growth rates due to greater-than-expected declines in procedural volumes, pricing pressures, product actions and/or competitive technology developments,

•Declines in our market share and penetration assumptions due to increased competition, an inability to develop or launch new and next-generation products and technology features in line with our commercialization strategies and market and/or regulatory conditions that may cause significant launch delays or product recalls,

•Decreases in our forecasted profitability due to an inability to implement successfully and achieve timely and sustainable cost improvement measures consistent with our expectations,

•Changes in our reporting units or in the structure of our business as a result of future reorganizations, acquisitions or divestitures of assets or businesses and

•Increases in our market-participant risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital and increases in our market-participant tax rate and/or changes in tax laws or macroeconomic conditions.

Negative changes in one or more of these factors, among others, could result in future impairment charges.

We review intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain conditions arise to determine if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, or that a change in the remaining useful life is required. Conditions indicating that an impairment exists include but are not limited to a change in the competitive landscape, internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer or a significant change in the marketplace including prices paid for our products or the size of the market for our products. Refer Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies andNote 11, Goodwill & Intangible Assets, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Table of Contents

Inventory Provisions

We base our provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory primarily on our estimates of forecasted net sales. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for our products as compared with forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory in the future. Additionally, uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to excess, expired and obsolete inventory.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision is calculated for all jurisdictions in which we operate. The income tax provision process involves calculating current taxes due and assessing temporary differences arising from items that are taxable or deductible in different periods for tax and accounting purposes and are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for realizability and a valuation allowance is maintained for the portion of our deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not realizable. All available evidence, both positive and negative, has been considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed against the deferred tax assets. Refer to Note 6, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information and discussion of our income tax provision and balances.

We file income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We record a liability for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Our financial statements reflect expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing authorities' full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. We record a liability for the portion of unrecognized tax benefits claimed that we have determined are not more-likely-than-not realizable. These tax reserves have been established based on management's assessment as to the potential exposure attributable to our uncertain tax positions as well as interest and penalties attributable to these uncertain tax positions. All tax reserves are analyzed quarterly and adjustments are made as events occur that result in changes in judgment.

Contingencies

We may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, patent infringement, product liability and environmental matters. Accruals recorded for various contingencies including legal proceedings, employee related litigation, self-insurance and other claims are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of internal and/or external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. When a loss is probable and a range of loss is established but a best estimate cannot be made, we record the minimum loss contingency amount. These estimates are often initially developed substantially earlier than the ultimate loss is known and the estimates are reevaluated each accounting period, as additional information is available. When we are initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss, we record the minimum amount of loss, which could be zero. As information becomes known, an additional loss provision is recorded when either a best estimate can be made or the minimum loss amount is increased. When events result in an expectation of a more favorable outcome than previously expected, our best estimate is changed to a lower amount.

Business Combinations

We record tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions including forecasted cash flows, revenues attributable to existing technology and existing customer attrition. When estimating the significant assumptions to be used in the valuation we included a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business, and other relevant factors. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill.

Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as measured on the date of acquisition using an appropriate valuation model, such as the Monte Carlo simulation model. The value recorded is based on estimates of future financial projections under various potential scenarios, in which the model runs many simulations based on comparable companies' growth rates and their implied volatility. Our estimates of forecasted revenues in the earn out period include a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business, and other relevant factors. These cash flow

Table of Contents

projections are discounted with a risk adjusted rate. Each quarter until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured at each reporting period and adjusted as a component of operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are subject to significant judgment and given the inherent uncertainties in making these estimates, actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded and could be materially different.

Convertible Senior Notes

Significant judgment is required in determining the liability component of the related convertible senior notes as well as the balance sheet classification of the elements of the convertible senior notes. We account for convertible senior notes as separate liability and equity components, determining the fair value of the respective liability components based on an estimate of the fair value of a similar liability without a conversion option and assigning the residual value to the equity component.

We estimate the fair value of the liability component of the convertible senior notes using a discounted cash flow model with a risk adjusted yield for similar debt instruments, absent any embedded conversion feature. In estimating the risk adjusted yield, we utilize both an income and market approach. For the income approach, we use a convertible bond pricing model, which include several assumptions including volatility and the risk-free rate. For the market approach, we perform an evaluation of issuances of convertible debt securities issued by other comparable companies. Additionally, a detailed analysis of the terms of the convertible senior notes transactions is required to determine existence of any derivatives that may require separate mark-to-market accounting under applicable accounting guidance.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposures relative to market risk are due to foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

See the section above entitled Foreign Exchange for a discussion of how foreign currency affects our business. It is our policy to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by using derivative financial instruments known as forward contracts to hedge anticipated cash flows from forecasted foreign currency denominated sales and costs. We do not use the financial instruments for speculative or trading activities.

We estimate the change in the fair value of all forward contracts assuming both a 10% strengthening and weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to all other major currencies. As of April 3, 2021, in the event of a 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar, the change in fair value of all forward contracts would result in a $7.2 million increase in the fair value of the forward contracts, whereas a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar would result in a $8.2 million decrease in the fair value of the forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates is associated with borrowings under our Credit Facilities, all of which is variable rate debt. Total outstanding debt under our Credit Facilities for the fiscal year ended April 3, 2021 was $301.9 million with an interest rate of 1.4% based on prevailing LIBOR rates. An increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR rates would result in additional annual interest expense of $0.8 million. On August 21, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert $241.9 million of borrowings under our Credit Facilities from a variable rate to a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Haemonetics Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Haemonetics Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 3, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at April 3, 2021 and March 28, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 3, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of April 3, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated May 26, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for leases effective March 31, 2019 due to adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and the related amendments.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Blood is essential to a modern healthcare system. Blood and its components (plasma, red cells and platelets) have many vital and frequently life-saving clinical applications. Plasma is used for patients with major blood loss and is manufactured into biopharmaceuticals to treat a variety of illnesses, including immune diseases and coagulation disorders. Red cells treat trauma patients or patients undergoing surgery with high blood loss, such as open heart surgery or organ transplant. Platelets have many uses in patient care, including supporting cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Haemonetics manages its business in three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. For that purpose, “Plasma” includes plasma collection devices and disposables, plasma donor management software, and anticoagulant and saline sold to plasma customers. “Blood Center” includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for red cells, platelets and whole blood. “Hospital”, which is comprised of Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage, Transfusion Management and Vascular Closure products, includes devices and methodologies for measuring coagulation characteristics of blood, surgical blood salvage systems, specialized blood cell processing systems and disposables, blood transfusion management software and vascular closure devices.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements present separately the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All amounts presented, except per share amounts, are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. The Company has assessed its ability to continue as a going concern. As of April 3, 2021, Haemonetics has concluded that substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern does not exist.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fiscal Year

Haemonetics' fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal 2021 included 53 weeks with each of the first three quarters having 13 weeks and the fourth quarter having 14 weeks. Fiscal 2020 and 2019 included 52 weeks with each quarter having 13 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts including those of its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from the amounts derived from its estimates and assumptions. The Company considers estimates to be critical if they are required to make assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time of estimation or if materially different estimates could have been made or it is reasonably likely that the accounting estimate will change from period to period. The

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

following are areas considered to be critical and require management’s judgment: revenue recognition, inventory provisions, intangible asset and goodwill valuation, convertible note valuation, legal and other judgmental accruals and income taxes.

Contingencies

The Company may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, patent infringement, product liability and environmental matters. Accruals recorded for various contingencies including legal proceedings, employee related litigation, self-insurance and other claims are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of internal and/or external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. When a loss is probable and a range of loss is established but a best estimate cannot be made, the Company records the minimum loss contingency amount, which could be zero. These estimates are often initially developed substantially earlier than the ultimate loss is known and the estimates are reevaluated each accounting period, as additional information is available. As information becomes known, an additional loss provision is recorded when either a best estimate can be made or the minimum loss amount is increased. When events result in an expectation of a more favorable outcome than previously expected, the best estimate is changed to a lower amount.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue recognition policy is to recognize revenues from product sales, software and services in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2014-19, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied; this occurs with the transfer of control of the Company’s goods or services. The Company considers revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met: it has a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; promised products or services are identified; the transaction price, or the consideration the Company expects to receive for transferring goods or providing services, is determinable and it has transferred control of the promised items to the customer. A promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer is identified as a performance obligation. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Some of the Company’s contracts have multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling prices of the good or service in the contract. For goods or services for which observable standalone selling prices are not available, the Company uses an expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

Product Revenues

The majority of the Company’s performance obligations related to product sales are satisfied at a point in time. Product revenue consists of the sale of its disposable blood component collection and processing sets and the related equipment. The Company’s performance obligation related to product sales is satisfied upon shipment or delivery to the customer based on the specified terms set forth in the customer contract. Shipping and handling activities performed after a customer obtains control of the good are treated as fulfillment activities and are not considered to be a separate performance obligation. Revenue is recognized over time for maintenance plans provided to customers that provide services beyond the Company’s standard warranty period. Payment terms between customers related to product sales vary by the type of customer, country of sale, and the products or services offered and could result in an unbilled receivable or deferred revenue balance depending on whether the performance obligation has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

For product sales to distributors, the Company recognizes revenue for both equipment and disposables upon shipment to distributors, which is when its performance obligations are complete. The Company's standard contracts with its distributors state that title to the equipment passes to the distributors at point of shipment to a distributor’s location. The distributors are responsible for shipment to the end customer along with any installation, training and acceptance of the equipment by the end customer. Payments from distributors are not contingent upon resale of the product.

The Company also places equipment at customer sites. While the Company retains ownership of this equipment, the customer has the right to use it for a period of time provided they meet certain agreed to conditions. The Company recovers the cost of providing the equipment from the sale of its disposables.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Software and Other Revenues

To a lesser extent, the Company enters into other types of contracts including certain software licensing arrangements to provide software solutions to support its plasma, blood collection and hospital customers. A portion of its software sales are perpetual licenses typically accompanied by significant implementation services related to software customization as well as other professional and technical services. The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses and related customization services over time (the Company is creating or enhancing an asset that the customer controls) using an input method which requires it to make estimates of the extent of progress toward completion of the contract. When the Company provides other services, including in some instances hosting, technical support and maintenance, it recognizes these fees and charges over time (the customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits), as performance obligations for these services are satisfied during the contract period. Certain of the Company's software licensing arrangements are term-based licenses that include a per-collection or a usage-based fee related to the use of the license and the related technical support and hosting services. For these usage-based arrangements, the Company applies the revenue recognition exception resulting in revenue recognition occurring upon the later of actual usage or satisfaction of the related performance obligations. The payment terms for software licensing arrangements vary by customer pursuant to the terms set forth in the customer contract and result in an unbilled receivable or deferred revenue balance depending on whether the performance obligation has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

Significant Judgments

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration related to rebates, product returns and volume discounts. These reserves, which are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales, are recorded as a reduction of revenue and a current liability. The Company's estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect the Company’s best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. Revenue recognized in the current period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material. If the Company is unable to estimate the expected rebates reasonably, it records a liability for the maximum potential rebate or discount that could be earned. In circumstances where the Company provides upfront rebate payments to customers, it capitalizes the rebate payments and amortizes the resulting asset as a reduction of revenue using a systematic method over the life of the contract.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheets. The difference in timing between billing and revenue recognition primarily occurs in software licensing arrangements, resulting in contract assets and contract liabilities.

Practical Expedients

The Company elected not to disclose the value of transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. When applicable, the Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if it is expected, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service, will be one year or less.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange at year-end while sales and expenses are translated at an average rate in effect during the year. The net effect of these translation adjustments is shown in the accompanying financial statements as a component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, including those resulting from intercompany transactions, are charged directly to earnings and included in other expense, net on the consolidated statements of income. The impact of foreign exchange on long-term intercompany loans, for which repayment has not been scheduled or planned, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include various instruments such as money market funds, U.S. government obligations and commercial paper with maturities of three months or less at date of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair market value. As of April 3, 2021, cash and cash equivalents consisted of investments in United States Government Agency and institutional money market funds.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes a specific allowance for customers when it is probable that they will not be able to meet their financial obligations. Customer accounts are reviewed individually on a regular basis and reserves are established as deemed appropriate. The Company also maintains a general reserve using a percentage that is established based upon the age of its receivables and its collection history. The Company establishes allowances for balances not yet due and past due accounts based on past experience.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined with the first-in, first-out method. The Company has based its provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory primarily on its estimates of forecasted net sales. Significant changes in the timing or level of demand for the Company's products result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory. Additionally, uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, non-cancelable purchase commitments, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect the Company's estimates related to excess, expired and obsolete inventory.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization by charges to operations using the straight-line method in amounts estimated to recover the cost of the building and improvements, equipment and furniture and fixtures over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Asset Classification EstimatedUseful Lives

Building improvements 5-20 Years

Plant equipment and machinery 3-15 Years

Office equipment and information technology 3-10 Years

Haemonetics equipment 3-7 Years

The Company evaluates the depreciation periods of property, plant and equipment to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. All property, plant and equipment are also tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The Company's installed base of devices includes devices owned by the Company and devices sold to the customer. The asset on its balance sheet classified as Haemonetics equipment consists of medical devices installed at customer sites but owned by Haemonetics. Generally, the customer has the right to use it for a period of time as long as they meet the conditions the Company has established, which among other things, generally include one or more of the following:

•Purchase and consumption of a certain level of disposable products

•Payment of monthly rental fees

•An asset utilization performance metric, such as performing a minimum level of procedures per month per device

Consistent with the impairment tests noted below for other intangible assets subject to amortization, the Company reviews Haemonetics equipment and the related useful lives of such equipment at least once a year, or more frequently if certain conditions arise, to determine if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. To conduct these reviews, the Company estimates the future amount and timing of demand for disposables used with these devices, from which it generates revenues. The Company also considers product life cycle in its evaluation of useful life and recoverability. Changes in expected demand can result in additional depreciation expense, which is classified as cost of

Table of Contents

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

goods sold. Any significant unanticipated changes in demand could impact the value of the Company's devices and its reported operating results.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed to operations as incurred. When the repair or maintenance costs significantly extend the life of the asset, these costs may be capitalized. When equipment and improvements are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is included in the consolidated statements of income.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASC Update No. 2016-02 is intended to increase the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease asset and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, including those previously classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued an update to the leasing guidance to allow an additional transition option which would allow companies to adopt the standard as of the beginning of the year of adoption as opposed to the earliest comparative period presented. The Company adopted the new standard on March 31, 2019.

Upon transition, the Company applied the package of practical expedients permitted under ASC Update No. 2016-02 transition guidance to its entire lease portfolio at March 31, 2019. As a result, the Company is not required to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the classification of any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also elected to account for each lease component and the associated non-lease components as a single lease component and also elected not to recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset for any lease that, at commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

As a result of adopting ASC Update No. 2016-02, the Company recognized additional right-of-use assets of $22.9 million and corresponding liabilities of $22.7 million for its existing lease portfolio on the consolidated balance sheets, with no material impact to the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, the Company implemented a new lease administration and lease accounting system and has updated controls and procedures for maintaining and accounting for its lease portfolio under the new standard.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. Instead goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or on an interim basis between annual tests when events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. The Company performs its annual impairment test on the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter for each of its reporting units.

Under ASC Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment entities perform their goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The Company determines its reporting units by first identifying its operating segments and then by assessing whether any components of these segments constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and where segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company aggregates components within an operating segment that have similar economic characteristics. Haemonetics' reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill impairment were historically based primarily on geography. Effective as of March 31, 2019, the Company completed the transition of its operating structure to three global business units and accordingly has reorganized its reporting structure to align with its three global business units and the information that will be regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Following the reorganization, the Company's reportable segments are as follows: Plasma, Blood Center, and Hospital.

When allocating goodwill from business combinations to its reporting units, the Company assigns goodwill to the reporting units that it expects to benefit from the respective business combination at the time of acquisition. In addition, for purposes of performing its goodwill impairment tests, assets and liabilities, including corporate assets, which relate to a reporting unit’s operations and would be considered in determining its fair value, are allocated to the individual reporting units. The Company

Table of Contents

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

allocates assets and liabilities not directly related to a specific reporting unit, but from which the reporting unit benefits, based primarily on the respective revenue contribution of each reporting unit.

The Company uses the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, to derive the fair value of each of its reporting units in preparing its goodwill impairment assessments. This approach calculates fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting these after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing its goodwill assessments because the use of the income approach typically generates a more precise measurement of fair value than the market approach. In applying the income approach to its accounting for goodwill, the Company makes assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within the Company's discounted cash flow analysis is based on its most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate is used to calculate the value of cash flows beyond the last projected period in the Company's discounted cash flow analysis and reflects the Company's best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of its reporting units. The Company uses estimates of market-participant risk adjusted weighted average cost of capital as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply to its reporting units’ future expected cash flows. The Company corroborated the valuations that arose from the discounted cash flow approach by performing both a market multiple valuation and by reconciling the aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its market capitalization at the time of the test.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test under the guidelines of ASC Update No. 2017-04. The results of the goodwill impairment test performed indicated that the estimated fair value of all of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. There were no reporting units at risk of impairment as of the fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 annual test date.

The Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain conditions arise to determine if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, or that a change in the remaining useful life is required. Conditions indicating that an impairment exists include, but are not limited to, a change in the competitive landscape, internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer or a significant change in the marketplace including prices paid for its products or the size of the market for its products.

When an impairment indicator exists, the Company tests the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, the Company groups its amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset (asset group) exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset (asset group), the Company will write the carrying value down to the fair value in the period identified.

The Company generally calculates the fair value of its intangible assets as the present value of estimated future cash flows it expects to generate from the asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate. In determining its estimated future cash flows associated with its intangible assets, the Company uses estimates and assumptions about future revenue contributions, cost structures and remaining useful lives of the asset (asset group).

If the Company determines the estimate of an intangible asset's remaining useful life should be reduced based on its expected use of the asset, the remaining carrying amount of the asset is amortized prospectively over the revised estimated useful life. During fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company did not incur any intangible asset impairments.

Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed

ASC Topic 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, specifies that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a computer software product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all software costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers, at which point capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful life of 5 to 10 years. Technological feasibility is established when it has a detailed design of the software and when research and development activities on the underlying device, if applicable, are completed. The Company capitalizes costs associated with both software that it sells as a separate product and software that is embedded in a device.

The Company reviews the net realizable value of capitalized assets periodically to assess the recoverability of amounts capitalized. There were no impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019. In the future, the net realizable value may be adversely affected by the loss of a significant customer or a significant change in the market place, which could result in an impairment being recorded.

Other Current Liabilities

Forward contracts and interest rate swaps 6,353 8,870

Acquisition related liability(1) 14,419 —

Contingent consideration 20,942 —

Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities represent items that are not payable or expected to settle within the next twelve months. The items included in the fiscal year end balances were:

Contingent consideration 7,791 —

Research and Development Expenses

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Income Taxes

The income tax provision is calculated for all jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The income tax provision process involves calculating current taxes due and assessing temporary differences arising from items that are taxable or deductible in different periods for tax and accounting purposes and are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for realizability and a valuation allowance is maintained for the portion of the Company's deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not realizable. All available evidence, both positive and negative, has been considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed against the deferred tax assets. Refer to Note 6, Income Taxes, for further information and discussion of the Company's income tax provision and balances.

The Company files income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company records a liability for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company's financial statements reflect expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing authorities' full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Company records a liability for the portion of unrecognized tax benefits claimed that it has determined are not more-likely-than-not realizable. These tax reserves have been established based on management's assessment as to the potential exposure attributable to the Company's uncertain tax positions as well as interest and penalties attributable to these uncertain tax positions. All tax reserves are analyzed quarterly and adjustments are made as events occur that result in changes in judgment.

The Company evaluates at the end of each reporting period whether some or all of the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested. The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities to the extent that management asserts that undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested or will not be permanently reinvested in the future. The Company's position is based upon several factors including management’s evaluation of the Haemonetics and its subsidiaries’ financial requirements, the short-term and long-term operational and fiscal objectives of the Company and the tax consequences associated with the repatriation of earnings.

Convertible Senior Notes

The Company accounts for convertible senior notes as separate liability and equity components, determining the fair value of the respective liability components based on an estimate of the fair value of a similar liability without a conversion option and assigning the residual value to the equity component.

The Company estimates the fair value of the liability component of the convertible senior notes using a discounted cash flow model with a risk adjusted yield for similar debt instruments, absent any embedded conversion feature. In estimating the risk adjusted yield, the Company utilizes both an income and market approach. For the income approach, the Company uses a convertible bond pricing model, which includes several assumptions including volatility and the risk-free rate. For the market approach, the Company performs an evaluation of issuances of convertible debt securities issued by other comparable companies. Additionally, a detailed analysis of the terms of the convertible senior notes transactions is required to determine existence of any derivatives that may require separate mark-to-market accounting under applicable accounting guidance.

Derivative Instruments

The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) and ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). In accordance with ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for the change in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative as a hedging instrument for accounting purposes and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. In addition, ASC 815 provides that, for derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value are either (a) offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or (b) recognized in equity until the hedged item is recognized in earnings, depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in fair value or cash flows. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculation purposes.

When the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings, the gains or losses on the forward foreign exchange rate contracts designated as hedges are recorded in net revenues, cost of goods sold, operating expenses and other expense, net in the Company's consolidated statements of income, depending on the nature of the underlying hedged transactions. The cash flows related to the gains and losses are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows as part of cash flows from operating activities. For those derivative instruments that are not designated as part of a hedging relationship the Company records the

Table of Contents

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

gains or losses in earnings currently. These gains and losses are intended to offset the gains and losses recorded on net monetary assets or liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies. The Company recorded foreign currency losses of $0.7 million, $2.9 million and $2.3 million in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether the cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flow of the hedged item. The Company manages the credit risk of its counterparties by dealing only with institutions that it considers financially sound and considers the risk of non-performance to be remote. Additionally, the Company's interest rate risk management strategy includes the use of interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to changes in variable interest rates. The Company's objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage and reduce the risk inherent in interest rate fluctuations.

The Company's derivative instruments do not subject its earnings or cash flows to material risk, as gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset losses and gains on the item being hedged. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and it does not have any non-derivative instruments that are designated as hedging instruments pursuant to ASC 815.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company expenses the fair value of share-based awards granted to employees, board members and others, net of estimated forfeitures. To calculate the grant-date fair value of its stock options the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and for performance share units it uses Monte Carlo simulation models.

Costs Associated with Exit Activities

The Company records employee termination costs in accordance with ASC Topic 712, Compensation - Nonretirement and Postemployment Benefits, if it pays the benefits as part of an on-going benefit arrangement, which includes benefits provided as part of its established severance policies or that it provides in accordance with international statutory requirements. The Company accrues employee termination costs associated with an on-going benefit arrangement if the obligation is attributable to prior services rendered, the rights to the benefits have vested, the payment is probable and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company accounts for employee termination benefits that represent a one-time benefit in accordance with ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. It records such costs into expense over the employee’s future service period, if any.

Other costs associated with exit activities may include contract termination costs, including costs related to leased facilities to be abandoned or subleased, consultant fees and impairments of long-lived assets. The costs are expensed in accordance with ASC Topic 420 and ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment and are included primarily in selling, general and administrative costs in its consolidated statement of income. Additionally, costs directly related to the Company's active restructuring initiatives, including program management costs, accelerated depreciation and costs to transfer product lines among facilities are included within costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative costs in its consolidated statement of income. Refer to Note 3, Restructuring, for further information and discussion of its restructuring plans.

Valuation of Acquisitions

The Company allocates the amounts it pays for each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition, including acquired identifiable intangible assets. The Company bases the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets on detailed valuations that use significant assumptions including forecasted cash flows, revenues attributable to existing technology and existing customer attrition. When estimating the significant assumptions to be used in the valuation, the Company includes a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business, and other relevant factors. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The Company allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired to goodwill.

Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. In fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 49%, 54% and 52% of net revenues, respectively. In fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, two Plasma customers, CSL Limited. (together with

its affiliates, “CSL”) and Grifols S.A. (together with its affiliates, “Grifols”), each were greater than 10% of total net revenue and in total accounted for approximately 23%, 27% and 27% of net revenues, respectively. In addition, a third customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Plasma segment's net revenues, but did not exceed 10% of total net revenue in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019. One customer also accounted for greater than 10% of the Blood Center segment's net revenues, but did not exceed 10% of total net revenues, in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Certain other markets and industries can expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk. For example, in the Plasma business unit, sales are concentrated with several large customers. As a result, accounts receivable extended to any one of these biopharmaceutical customers can be significant at any point in time. Also, a portion of the Company's trade accounts receivable outside the U.S. include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries’ national economies. The Company has not incurred significant losses on government receivables. The Company continually evaluates all government receivables for potential collection risks associated with the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices. If the financial condition of customers or the countries’ healthcare systems deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, allowances may be required in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standards Implemented

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASC Update No. 2016-13 is intended to replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates. The Company adopted ASC Update No. 2016-13 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The new guidance aligns the accounting implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for internal-use software licenses. The Company adopted ASC Update No. 2018-15 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a final rule that amends the financial statement requirements for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. The amendments primarily relate to disclosures required by Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X and modifies the tests provided in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X used to determine whether a subsidiary or an acquired or disposed business is significant and modifies the number of years of audited financial statements required for acquisitions with significance levels greater than specified percentages. The Company early adopted these amendments during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

3. RESTRUCTURING

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the global economy, the healthcare industry, and the markets in which it competes to identify opportunities for efficiencies, enhance commercial capabilities, align its resources and offer its customers better solutions. In order to realize these opportunities, the Company undertakes restructuring-type activities to transform its business.

In July 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new Operational Excellence Program (the “2020 Program”) and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the detail of the initiatives that will comprise the program. The 2020 Program is designed to improve operational performance and reduce cost principally in our manufacturing and supply chain operations. The Company initially expected to incur aggregate charges between $60 million and $70 million by the end of fiscal 2023. However, the Company is currently assessing the potential impact of CSL's decision not to renew its supply agreement for the purchase of disposable plasmapheresis kits on the timing and charges of the 2020 Program. The majority of charges will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, and will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved. During fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 the Company incurred $15.1 million and $11.9 million of restructuring and turnaround costs under this program, respectively. Total cumulative charges under this program are $27.0 million as of April 3, 2021.

During fiscal 2018, the Company launched a Complexity Reduction Initiative (the “2018 Program”), a company-wide restructuring program designed to improve operational performance and reduce cost, freeing up resources to invest in accelerated growth. During fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred $0.6 million, $7.9 million and $13.7 million of restructuring and turnaround costs under this program, respectively. Total cumulative charges under this program are $58.8 million as of April 3, 2021. The 2018 Program is substantially complete.

The following table summarizes the activity for restructuring reserves related to the 2020 Program, the 2018 Program and prior programs for the fiscal years ended April 3, 2021, March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019, substantially all of which relates to employee severance and other employee costs:

4. ACQUISITIONS

Cardiva Medical, Inc.

On January 17, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Cardiva Medical, Inc. (“Cardiva”), an industry-leading manufacturer of vascular closure systems based in Santa Clara, California. In connection with this acquisition, which closed on March 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Cardiva for total consideration of $489.8 million, which consisted of upfront payments in the aggregate of $465.5 million ($418.2 million net of cash acquired) and the fair value of contingent consideration of $24.3 million. The Company’s purchase price is subject to customary working capital and certain other adjustments as of the closing of the transaction and a maximum of $35.0 million in contingent consideration payable over the next two years based on sales growth. The Company financed the acquisition through a combination of cash, borrowings under its revolving credit facility and an additional $150.0 million term loan under the existing credit facility.

Cardiva’s portfolio includes two catheter-based vascular access site closure devices. The VASCADE® vascular closure system is designed for “small-bore” femoral arterial and venous closure, generally used in interventional cardiology and peripheral vascular procedures. The VASCADE MVP® vascular closure system is designed for “mid-bore” multi-access femoral venous closure, generally used in electrophysiology procedures, and is the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved closure device for use following cardiac ablation procedures requiring two or more access sites within the same vessel. The addition of the VASCADE portfolio to the Hospital business unit includes products with demonstrated benefits and enhances penetration into the large and growing interventional cardiology and electrophysiology markets.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (Topic 805), recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recognized based on management’s estimates and assumptions using the information regarding facts and circumstances that existed at the closing date. The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. The most significant open items included the valuation of certain intangible assets and the accounting for income taxes as the Company is awaiting additional information to complete its assessment of these matters. Measurement period adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date. The finalization of the Company’s purchase accounting assessment could result in changes in the valuation of assets acquired

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

and liabilities assumed, which could be material. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the measurement period as required by Topic 805. As of April 3, 2021, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary, including the projection of the underlying cash flows used to determine the fair value of the identified tangible, intangible and financial assets and liabilities.

The preliminary purchase price of $442.5 million, net of $47.3 million of cash acquired, consisted of the amounts presented below, which represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

(In thousands) March 1, 2021

Accounts receivable $ 7,304

Prepaid expenses and other current assets 850

Property, plant and equipment 1,186

Other long-term assets 1,868

Total assets acquired $ 535,537

Accounts payable 3,292

Accrued payroll and related costs 58,211

Other liabilities 1,853

Deferred tax liability 27,912

Other long-term liabilities 1,772

Total liabilities assumed $ 93,040

The Company determined the identifiable intangible assets were completed technology, customer relationships and trademarks. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuation techniques with estimates and assumptions developed by the Company. Completed technology was valued using the excess earnings method. Customer relationships were valued using the distributor method. Trademarks were valued using the relief from royalty method. The cash flows used in the valuation of the intangible assets were based on estimates used to price the transaction. In developing the discount rates applied to the cash flow projections, the discount rates were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital and then adjusted to reflect the relative risk of the asset. As of April 3, 2021, the valuation of the intangible assets is preliminary as the Company is still gathering information related to the assets’ cash flow projections.

The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. As a result of the acquisition of Cardiva, the Company recognized goodwill of $251.6 million, which is attributable to the revenue and cash flow projections associated with completed technologies and the development of future technology that does not exist in the current in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) pipeline. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and relates entirely to the Hospital reportable segment.

Intangible assets acquired consist of the following:

Table of Contents

HAEMONETICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

The Company recorded a long-term deferred tax liability, net, of $27.9 million primarily related to definite-lived intangible assets which cannot be deducted for tax purposes, partially offset by deferred tax assets primarily related to net operating losses acquired.

Acquisition-Related Costs

The amount of acquisition-related costs incurred associated with the acquisition was $9.6 million for the fiscal year ending April 3, 2021. The Company incurred acquisition costs related legal and other professional fees in the amount of $6.6 million and an additional $3.0 million of debt financing costs and lender fees which were recognized in selling, general and administrative and as interest expense on the consolidated statements of income, respectively.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Cardiva contributed revenues of $7.7 million to net revenues and losses of $7.6 million to net income for the period post acquisition through April 3, 2021.

The unaudited estimated pro forma results presented below include the effects of the acquisition of Cardiva as if it was consummated on March 31, 2019. In fiscal 2021, the Company incurred nonrecurring charges attributed to the acquisition of Cardiva, which are presented in the consolidated statements of income for this period. These charges include acquisition-related costs, retention bonuses and severance payments, adjusted for the related tax effects. These nonrecurring charges are reflected as adjustments to the pro forma earnings presented below for fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020.

Additionally, these pro forma amounts have been calculated, net of tax, after adjusting the results of Cardiva to reflect the additional costs associated with fair value adjustments relating to inventories, leases and intangible assets as if the acquisition had occurred on March 31, 2019 and adjusting interest amounts related to long-term debt assumptions. There was no significant impact to the pro forma amounts after applying the Company’s accounting policies.

The supplemental pro forma information presented below is for informational purposes only and should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited estimated pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined companies would have been had the acquisition of Cardiva occurred as of March 31, 2019, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. The pro forma assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available.

HAS Intellectual Property

In January 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire certain intellectual property owned by HemoAssay Science and Technology (Suzhou) Co. Ltd., a China-incorporated company, and its affiliates (collectively, “HemoAssay”) underlying their HAS viscoelastic diagnostic devices, related assays and disposables. The Company previously entered into exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreements with HemoAssay pursuant to which it has exclusive rights to commercialize HemoAssay’s HAS devices in China. In connection with the transaction, which did not meet the definition of a business, the Company has agreed to pay up to $15.0 million to HemoAssay in contingent consideration based on certain developmental and manufacturing based milestones. These products augment the Company's portfolio of hemostasis analyzers within the Hospital business unit.

enicor GmbH

On April 1, 2020, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of enicor GmbH (“enicor”), the manufacturer of ClotPro®, a new generation whole blood coagulation testing system that is currently available in select European and Asia Pacific markets, for total consideration of $20.5 million, which consisted of upfront payments of $16.6 million and the fair value of contingent consideration of $3.9 million. The contingent consideration, which could total a maximum of $4.5 million, consists of payments related to the achievement of certain revenue and regulatory milestones. The acquisition of this viscoelastic diagnostic device augments the Company's portfolio of hemostasis analyzers within the Hospital business unit.

Purchase Price Allocation

The Company accounted for the acquisition of enicor as a business combination, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (Topic 805), recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

The following amounts represent the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed for enicor completed during the fiscal 2021:

(In thousands) April 1, 2020

Other current assets 685

Property, plant and equipment 289

Total assets acquired $ 23,851

Other current liabilities 289

Deferred tax liability 3,036

Total liabilities assumed $ 3,325

Net assets acquired $ 20,526

The Company determined the identifiable intangible assets were completed technology, customer relationships and a trademark. The fair value of the intangible assets was estimated using the income approach. The cash flows were based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The benefits of adding a viscoelastic diagnostic device to the Company’s portfolio of hemostasis analyzers within the Hospital business unit contributed to an acquisition price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired for enicor, which resulted in the establishment of goodwill. In addition, the benefits of lower cost manufacturing and complementary sales channels also contributed to the establishment of goodwill for this acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangible assets acquired consist of the following:

Customer relationships 347 10 Years 20 %

Acquisition-Related Costs

During fiscal 2021, the Company incurred $0.2 million of acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition.
