NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(all tabular amounts in millions, except number of shares, which are reflected in thousands, and per share data)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic” or the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 27, 2014 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2014. In the opinion of management, the financial statements and notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant 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 periods. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Operating results for the three months ended December 27, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending September 26, 2015.
Subsequent Events Consideration
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 for 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 recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 27, 2014.
(2) Fair Value Measurements
Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company has investments in publicly-traded companies and mutual funds, both of which are valued using quoted market prices, representing Level 1 assets. The Company has a payment obligation to the participants under its Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”). This liability is recorded at fair value based on the underlying value of certain hypothetical investments under the DCP as designated by each participant for their benefit. Since the value of the DCP obligation is based on market prices, the liability is classified within Level 1.

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company remeasures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities upon the occurrence of certain events. Such assets are comprised of cost-method equity investments and long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $3.1 million impairment charge to record certain of its buildings at fair value related to the Hitec-Imaging organic photoconductor manufacturing line shutdown (see Note 3). The Company believes this adjustment falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company holds certain cost-method equity investments in non-publicly traded securities aggregating $5.2 million at each of December 27, 2014 and September 27, 2014, which are included in other long-term assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are generally carried at cost, less any write-downs for other-than-temporary impairment charges. To determine the fair value of these investments, the Company uses all available financial information related to the entities, including information based on recent or pending third-party equity investments in these entities. In certain instances, a cost method investment’s fair value is not estimated as there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and to do so would be impractical. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $0.7 million related to one of its cost-method equity investments.
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, cost-method equity investments, insurance contracts, DCP liability, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of the insurance contracts are recorded at the cash surrender value, as required by U.S. GAAP, which approximates fair value, and the related DCP liability is recorded at fair value. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its cost-method equity investments approximate fair value.
Amounts outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement of $1.72 billion aggregate principal as of December 27, 2014 are subject to variable rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, the Company believes the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The Company’s Senior Notes had a fair value of approximately $1.04 billion as of December 27, 2014 based on their trading price, representing a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes is based on the trading prices of the respective notes and represents a Level 1 measurement. Refer to Note 4 for the carrying amounts of the various components of the Company’s debt.

(3) Restructuring and Divestiture Charges
The Company evaluates its operations for opportunities to improve operational effectiveness and efficiency, including facility and operations consolidation, and to better align expenses with revenues.

Consolidation of Diagnostics Operations
In connection with its acquisition of Gen-Probe Incorporated (“Gen-Probe”) in August 2012, the Company implemented restructuring actions to consolidate its Diagnostics operations, including streamlining product development initiatives, reducing overlapping functional areas in sales, marketing and general and administrative functions, and consolidating manufacturing resources, field services and support. As a result, the Company terminated certain employees from Gen-Probe and its legacy diagnostics business in research and development, sales, marketing, and general and administrative functions. The Company also decided to move its legacy molecular diagnostics operations from Madison, Wisconsin to Gen-Probe’s facilities in San Diego, California. This transfer was completed at the end of fiscal 2014 and, as a result, many of the employees in Madison were terminated. The Company recorded severance and benefit charges pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420), beginning in fiscal 2012 and through fiscal 2015. The Company recorded $3.0 million for severance and benefits in fiscal 2014. The Company recorded $0.5 million for facility closure costs and severance and benefits in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, and $0.8 million for severance and benefits in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Fiscal 2015 Actions
In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company continued to make executive management changes resulting in the termination of certain executives and employees on a worldwide basis. In addition, the Company continued to consolidate and close certain international offices. Severance and benefit charges under these actions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits (ASC 720), and ASC 420 depending on the circumstances, and the Company recorded severance and benefit charges of $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Included in the charge is $0.1 million of stock-based compensation for the acceleration of certain equity awards pursuant to their original terms.
Fiscal 2014 Actions
During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company implemented a cost reduction initiative comprised of reducing headcount and evaluating research projects and operating costs. In connection with this plan, the Company terminated certain employees on a worldwide basis. The Company recorded the severance and benefit charges pursuant to ASC 420 and ASC 712, depending on the circumstances. The Company recorded $6.3 million of severance and benefit charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which included $0.4 million of stock-based compensation.
On December 6, 2013, Stephen P. MacMillan was appointed as President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. The employment of John W. Cumming, the Company’s prior President and Chief Executive Officer, terminated upon Mr. MacMillan’s appointment. The Company provided separation benefits to Mr. Cumming pursuant to his employment letter dated July 18, 2013 resulting in a charge of $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which included $4.4 million of stock-based compensation related to the acceleration of all of Mr. Cumming’s outstanding equity awards in accordance with the existing terms of Mr. Cumming’s stock-based payment arrangements.
In the second, third, and fourth quarters of fiscal 2014, the Company continued to make executive management changes and implemented additional cost reduction initiatives resulting in the termination of certain executives and employees on a worldwide basis. In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 the Company decided to consolidate and close certain international offices. Severance and benefit charges under these actions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 420 and ASC 712 depending on the circumstances, and the Company recorded severance and benefit charges of $16.6 million in fiscal 2014. Included in the charge is $1.8 million of stock-based compensation for the modification of the terms of equity awards to certain employees. The Company recorded $4.5 million for severance and benefits and $0.2 million for facility closure costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 related to this action. Since a portion of the charges are pursuant to ASC 420, the Company expects to incur approximately $1.8 million of additional charges in the remainder of fiscal 2015 as the severance benefits are recorded ratably over the required service period. Charges related to lease obligations will be recorded upon either the cease-use date or execution of a termination contract.
Other Operating Cost Reductions:
Hitec-Imaging Organic Photoconductor Manufacturing Line Shut-down
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, in connection with the Company’s cost reduction initiatives, the Company decided to shut-down its Hitec-Imaging organic photoconductor manufacturing line located in Germany. This production line is included within the Breast Health segment. As a result, the Company terminated certain employees, primarily in manufacturing, in fiscal 2014.

Litigation and Related Matters
On June 9, 2010, Smith & Nephew, Inc. ("Smith & Nephew") filed suit against Interlace Medical, Inc. ("Interlace"), which the Company acquired on January 6, 2011, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that the Interlace MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal device infringed U.S. patent 7,226,459. On November 22, 2011, Smith & Nephew filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that use of the MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal system infringed U.S. patent 8,061,359. Both complaints sought permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. On September 4, 2012, following a two week trial, the jury returned a verdict of infringement of both the ‘459 and ‘359 patents and assessed damages of $4.0 million. A bench trial regarding the Company’s assertion of inequitable conduct on the part of Smith & Nephew with regard to the ‘359 patent was held on December 9, 2012 and oral arguments on the issue of inequitable conduct were presented on February 27, 2013. On June 27, 2013, the Court denied the Company’s motions related to inequitable conduct and allowed Smith & Nephew’s request for injunction, but ordered that enforcement of the injunction be stayed until final resolution, including appeal, of the current re-examinations of both patents at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The Court also rejected the jury’s damage award and ordered the parties to identify a mechanism for resolving the damages issue. On September 12, 2013, a status conference was held, and the Court invited the parties to submit briefs on the relevance of recent activity in the re-examinations at the USPTO. A hearing on this topic was held on October 29, 2013, and the parties are awaiting the Court’s ruling. The Company intends to file post-trial motions seeking to reverse the jury’s verdict. On January 14, 2014, the USPTO issued a final decision that the claims of the ‘459 patent asserted as part of the litigation are not patentable. On February 13, 2014, Smith & Nephew appealed this decision to the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The re-examination of the ‘359 patent is on-going. It is expected that patentability decisions made by the USPTO for both patents will proceed to appeal. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.
On March 6, 2012, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (“Enzo”) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleged that certain of the Company’s molecular diagnostics products, including without limitation products based on its proprietary Invader chemistry, such as Cervista HPV HR and Cervista HPV 16/18, infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The Company was formally served with the complaint on July 3, 2012, and a trial is tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2015. In January 2012, Enzo filed suit against Gen-Probe in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The Gen-Probe complaint alleged that certain of Gen-Probe’s diagnostics products, including products that incorporate Gen-Probe’s patented hybridization protection assay technology, such as the Aptima Combo 2 and Aptima HPV assays, infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180. On September 30, 2013, Enzo amended its list of accused products to include Prodesse, MilliPROBE, PACE and Procleix assays. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. Enzo has asserted the ‘180 patent claims against six other companies. The defendant companies are jointly arguing issues related to claim construction, and the trials are tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall of 2015. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.

On October 29, 2013, the Interlace stockholder representatives filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging breach of contract for issues related to the payment of contingent consideration under the Interlace acquisition agreement, and sought $14.7 million in additional payments. On October 20, 2014, a trial was held in Delaware. The parties executed a settlement agreement in January 2015 for an amount less than that sought. The Company had accrued certain amounts to settle this litigation as of September 27, 2014 and the effect of this settlement was not material to the Company's financial statements.
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that except for those described above there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it of which the ultimate resolution would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company has outstanding Convertible Notes, and the principal balance and any conversion premium may be satisfied, at the Company’s option, by issuing shares of common stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash. The Company's policy is that it will settle the principal balance of the Convertible Notes in cash. As such, the Company applies the treasury stock method to these securities and the dilution related to the conversion premium of the 2010 Notes is included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 27, 2014 as the average stock price during the quarter was greater than the conversion price of the 2010 Notes.

The Company granted approximately 1.3 million and 2.0 million restricted stock units (RSUs) during the three months ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $26.17 and $21.51, respectively. As of December 27, 2014, there were 4.0 million unvested RSUs outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $22.95. In addition, consistent with the Company's annual grant in fiscal 2014, the Company granted approximately 0.3 million performance stock units (PSUs) in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 to members of its senior management team, which have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $26.21. Each recipient of PSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of three years provided the Company’s defined Return on Invested Capital metrics are achieved. The Company is recognizing compensation expense ratably over the required service period based on its estimate that it is probable the targeted number of shares will vest. If there is a change in the estimate of the number of shares that are probable of vesting, the Company will cumulatively adjust compensation expense in the period that the change in estimate is made.
At December 27, 2014, there was $29.4 million and $90.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and stock units (comprised of RSUs and PSUs), respectively, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.7 years and 3.0 years, respectively.

(11) Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three month period ended December 27, 2014 was 33.8% compared to a provision of 277.1% on a pre-tax loss for the corresponding period in the prior year. For the current three month period, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the domestic production activities deduction. For the three months ended December 28, 2013, the tax rate was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses.

(14) New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate, at each annual or interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that exist that raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued and provide related disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and earlier application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 660), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU is applicable to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current U.S. GAAP. These judgments may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which is fiscal 2018 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exist. ASU 2013-11 amends the presentation requirements of ASC 740 and requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law or if the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which is fiscal 2015 for the Company. The amendments are to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date and may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Table of Contents

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. ASU 2013-05 addresses the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The guidance outlines the events when cumulative translation adjustments should be released into net income. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which is fiscal 2015 for the Company. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

OVERVIEW
We are a developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostics products, medical imaging systems and surgical products. Our core business units are focused on diagnostics, breast health, GYN surgical and skeletal health. We sell and service our products through a combination of direct sales and service forces and a network of independent distributors and sales representatives.
We offer a wide range of diagnostic products which are used primarily to aid in the diagnosis of human diseases and screen donated human blood. Our primary diagnostics products include our Aptima family of assays, including our advanced instrumentation (Panther and Tigris), our ThinPrep system, the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test and our Procleix blood screening assays. The Aptima family of assays is used to detect the infectious microorganisms that cause the common sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, chlamydia and gonorrhea, certain high-risk strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, and Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite that causes trichomoniasis. The ThinPrep System is primarily used in cytology applications, such as cervical cancer screening, and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test assists physicians in assessing the risk of pre-term birth. In blood screening, we develop and manufacture the Procleix family of assays, which are used to detect various infectious diseases. These blood screening products are marketed worldwide by our blood screening collaborator, Grifols S.A., or Grifols, under Grifols' trademarks.
Our breast health products include a broad portfolio of breast imaging and related products and accessories, including digital mammography systems, computer-aided detection, or CAD, for mammography and minimally invasive breast biopsy devices, breast biopsy site markers, breast biopsy guidance systems and breast brachytherapy products. Our most advanced breast imaging platform, Dimensions, utilizes a technology called tomosynthesis to produce 3D images, as well as conventional 2D full field digital mammography images.
Our GYN surgical products include our NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System, or NovaSure, and our MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System, or MyoSure. The NovaSure system involves a trans-cervical procedure for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. The MyoSure system is a tissue removal device that is designed to provide incision-less removal of fibroids, polyps, and other pathology within the uterus.
Our skeletal health products include dual-energy X-ray bone densitometry systems, an ultrasound-based osteoporosis assessment product, and our Fluoroscan mini C-arm imaging products.

Diagnostics product revenues increased 6.4% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to increases of $13.0 million in blood screening revenues and $6.4 million in molecular diagnostics products, which are primarily associated with our Aptima family of assays. Our blood screening revenues increased in the current quarter primarily due to an increase in volume as a result of the recent agreement between Grifols and the Japanese Red Cross, and restocking of certain assays for Grifols to normalize its inventory levels. The increase in molecular diagnostics products, and in particular our Aptima family of assays, was primarily due to increased volumes from our strategic alliance with Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, or Quest, entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, and increased sales volume of our HPV screening assay, which was approved for use on our Panther system in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. These increases were partially offset by the negative foreign currency impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, slightly lower average sales prices for our Aptima products due to increased competitive pressures, a reduction in Cervista HPV revenues as our larger customers transition to our Panther system, and lower instrumentation sales due to the significant purchases made by Quest in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and first quarter of fiscal 2014 in connection with the beginning of the strategic alliance referenced above. Our ThinPrep revenues were relatively flat year over year.
Breast Health product revenues increased 7.0% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. In the current quarter, our digital mammography systems and related revenue increased $20.3 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales volume of our 3D Dimensions system on a worldwide basis. In addition, we also had higher workflow product sales primarily driven by our C-View product. As expected, we continue to experience a decline in the number of 2D systems sold in the U.S. as customers transition to the 3D Dimensions systems, which was partially offset by an increase in units sold internationally. The increases were partially offset by the negative foreign currency impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, a decline in our Hitec-Imaging products as a result of shutting down the organic photoconductor production line in fiscal 2013 and MRI breast coils as a result of divesting this product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, although we are continuing to manufacture and sell inventory to the acquirer on a transitional basis.
GYN Surgical product revenues increased 7.1% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in MyoSure system sales of $5.4 million. The MyoSure system continues to gain strong market acceptance as unit sales increase globally, partially offset by lower average sales prices and product mix. NovaSure revenues were relatively flat year over year as volumes increased internationally, offset by slightly lower volumes in the U.S.
Skeletal Health product revenues increased 6.5% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in our osteoporosis assessment product sales on a worldwide basis, namely our Horizon product, partially offset by lower volumes of our older Discovery products and pricing pressures.

The decrease in product revenues in the United States as a percentage of consolidated product revenues in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was a result of higher total product revenue in our Diagnostic product lines, specifically blood screening, primarily related to the increase in sales related to our arrangement with Grifols as described above, which contributed to the increase in Asia-Pacific revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues.

Service and other revenues are primarily comprised of revenue generated from our field service organization to provide ongoing service, installation and repair of our products. The majority of these revenues are generated within our Breast Health segment. Service and other revenues increased 6.1% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in the number of service contracts in our Breast Health business driven by an increase in the installed base of our digital mammography systems, an increase in services not covered by service contracts and higher installation and training revenues related to our 3D Dimensions systems.

Product revenues gross margin increased to 52.3% in the current quarter compared to 50.5% in the prior year corresponding period.
Cost of Product Revenues. The cost of product revenues, excluding amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of product revenues was 34.2% in the current quarter compared to 34.5% in the corresponding period in the prior year. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues in the current quarter decreased in Diagnostics and Breast Health and increased in GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, resulting in a slightly improved gross margin (exclusive of amortization of intangible assets).

Table of Contents

Diagnostics' product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in product revenue related to the increase in Aptima assay sales and related volumes resulting in favorable manufacturing variances, lower royalty expenses primarily for ThinPrep due to the expiration of a royalty obligation during fiscal 2014, lower Cervista HPV sales, and lower molecular diagnostics instruments sales, which have very low gross margins.
Breast Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in 3D Dimensions sales on both a unit basis and as a percentage of total digital mammography systems sales compared to our 2D systems. Our 3D Dimensions systems have higher average sales prices than our 2D systems resulting in higher gross margins. In addition, we had higher software related sales for 3D upgrades and our C-View product, which have higher gross margins than capital equipment sales. Partially offsetting this decrease were unfavorable manufacturing variances.
GYN Surgical’s product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales volumes for our MyoSure system, which has lower gross margins than our NovaSure system, and a product mix that resulted in lower average selling prices.
Skeletal Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current quarter primarily due to decreases in the average selling price for both our Horizon and legacy Discovery products.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets relates to acquired developed technology and patents. These intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives of between 8.5 and 15 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. The economic pattern is based on undiscounted future cash flows. The decrease in amortization expense in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to lower amortization expense from intangible assets from the Cytyc acquisition, which are being amortized based on the pattern of economic use, and the write-off of the MRI breast coils developed technology asset as a result of the divestiture of this product line in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.

Service and other revenues gross margin was 49.5% in the current quarter compared to 46.7% in the corresponding period in the prior year. Within our Breast Health segment, the continued conversion of a high percentage of our domestic installed base of digital mammography systems to service contracts upon expiration of the warranty period without a corresponding increase in costs to service these contracts has resulted in higher gross margins.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 6.8% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, primarily from increased headcount, and additional program spend primarily for our viral product line within our molecular diagnostics business, including increased clinical spending and higher spend for prototype materials. Partially offsetting these increases is lower spend from our MRI breast coils product line as a result of its divestiture in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. At any point in time, we have a number of different research projects and clinical trials being conducted and the timing of these projects and related costs can vary from period to period.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased 3.2% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. In the current quarter, selling and marketing expenses increased primarily due to spending for our breast cancer awareness campaign and increased head count to build out our viral and sciences departments. These increases were partially offset by lower compensation expense primarily due to a reduction in commissions earned and a reduction in travel expenses, trade shows and meeting expenses.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 9.6% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year period of $4.7 million of legal and consulting fees to assist in our negotiation and response to shareholder activism that did not recur in the current year period, and a decrease in credit card fees related to customer sales, certain non-income tax expenses, international bad debt expense, and accounting and tax fees, partially offset by higher compensation and benefit costs, primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation, and higher consulting fees.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Expenses related to amortization of intangible assets increased 6.1% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Amortization of intangible assets results from customer relationships, trade names, business licenses and non-compete agreements related to our acquisitions. These intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives of between 2 and 30 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed utilizing expected undiscounted future cash flows. The increase in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to shortening the remaining life of certain corporate trade names in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as we decided to phase out their use.
Restructuring and Divestiture Charges. In fiscal 2014, we implemented cost containment measures that primarily resulted in headcount reductions and also started the process of reorganizing our senior management team and international structure, which has led to additional headcount actions in fiscal 2015. Pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the related severance and benefit charges are being recognized either ratably over the respective required employee service periods or up-front for contractual benefits, and other charges are being recognized as incurred. In the current quarter, we recorded aggregate charges of $8.0 million from these actions, primarily for severance and benefits and to a lesser extent facility closure costs. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we recorded aggregate charges of $18.3 million primarily from these actions. These charges were primarily for severance and benefits and include severance and benefit charges of $6.6 million related to the termination of our former President and Chief Executive Officer. We also recorded a $3.1 million impairment charge to record certain buildings at one of our German locations to

Interest expense consists primarily of the cash interest costs and the related amortization of the debt discount and deferred issuance costs on our Convertible Notes, Senior Notes and amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to lower outstanding balances under the Credit Agreement from principal payments in fiscal 2014 and 2015, which included voluntary pre-payments, lower weighted-average interest rates due to refinancing the Term Loan B facility during fiscal 2014, and the redemption of $405.0 million in principal amount of our 2.00% Convertible Notes due 2037, or the 2007 Notes, in December 2013.

Our effective tax rate for the current quarter was 33.8% compared to a provision of 277.1% on a pre-tax loss for the corresponding period in the prior year. For the current quarter, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the domestic production activities deduction benefit. For the three months ended December 28, 2013, the tax rate was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses.
Segment Results of Operations
We report our business as four segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014. We measure segment performance based on total revenues and operating income or loss. Revenues from product sales of each of these segments are described in further detail above. The discussion that follows is a summary analysis of total revenues and the primary changes in operating income or loss by segment.

Diagnostics revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in product revenues discussed above.
Operating income for this business segment increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to increased gross profit in absolute dollars and lower operating expenses. Gross profit in absolute dollars increased in the current quarter primarily due to increased Aptima sales and higher blood screening revenues as a result of the recent agreement between Grifols and the Japanese Red Cross, and a decrease in intangible asset amortization expense related to intangibles from the Cytyc acquisition, which are being amortized based on the economic pattern of use. These improvements were partially offset by a decrease in Cervista HPV volume. In addition, we had lower instrumentation sales in the current quarter, which carry very low gross margins. As a result, gross margin improved to 48.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 from 46.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Operating expenses decreased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses driven by decreased headcount, lower bad debt expense and a decrease in non-income tax expense. In addition, sales and marketing expenses decreased primarily due to international headcount reductions, lower

commissions, and lower restructuring charges. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in spending on research and development for additional headcount and project spending, primarily for our virology product line, and higher intangible asset amortization expense from shortening the life of certain trade names.

Breast Health revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the $9.8 million increase in product revenue discussed above and the $5.7 million increase in service revenue that was substantially related to additional service contracts for the increased number of digital mammography systems in our installed base.
Operating income for this business segment increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in gross profit in absolute dollars from higher revenue combined with a decrease in operating expenses. The overall gross margin increased to 53.9% in the current quarter compared to 51.4% in the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in 3D Dimensions sales, on both a unit basis and as a percentage of total digital mammography systems, compared to our 2D systems and an increase in software related sales. In addition, services gross margin has improved as service contracts increased from our higher installed base upon expiration of the warranty period without a corresponding increase in costs.
Operating expenses decreased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower restructuring charges, a reduction in compensation from headcount reductions and lower corporate allocations. These expense decreases were partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenditures primarily for our breast cancer awareness campaign.

GYN Surgical revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to the change in product revenues discussed above.
Operating income for this business segment increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in gross profit in absolute dollars from higher revenues, which was partially offset by higher operating expenses. Gross margin improved slightly to 60.0% in the current quarter from 59.4% in the prior year corresponding period.
Operating expenses increased in the current quarter, albeit at a slower pace than revenue, primarily due to an increase in sales force headcount, costs associated with international sales initiatives, and increased general and administrative costs, primarily due to higher legal expenses and an increase in headcount.

Skeletal Health revenues increased in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in product revenues discussed above.
Operating income remained flat in the current quarter primarily due to the slight increase in gross margin in absolute dollars as a result of higher sales of our higher margin Horizon product, while operating expenses effectively offset this increase. The gross margin rate decreased slightly to 42.2% in the current quarter from 43.5% in the corresponding period in the prior year.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 27, 2014, we had $728.8 million of working capital, and our cash and cash equivalents totaled $544.0 million. Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $192.1 million during the first three months of fiscal 2015 primarily due to debt principal payments and capital expenditures, partially offset by operating cash flows and proceeds from the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to our employee benefit programs.
In the first three months of fiscal 2015, our operating activities provided us with $153.5 million of cash, which included net income of $29.2 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization aggregating $122.0 million, non-cash interest expense of $16.7 million related to our outstanding debt, stock-based compensation expense of $12.1 million, and debt extinguishment losses of $6.7 million. These adjustments to net income were partially offset by a decrease in net deferred tax liabilities of $30.5 million, primarily from the amortization of intangible assets. Cash provided by operations included a net cash outflow of $2.6 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities were driven primarily by a decrease in accounts payable of $24.8 million related to the timing of cash payments, an increase in accounts receivable of $9.7 million primarily due to the timing of cash collections from fewer credit card sales, and a decrease in accrued expenses of $5.0 million primarily due to the payment of annual bonuses, lower accrued payroll, and restructuring payments partially offset by higher accrued interest and income taxes based on timing of payments. These outflows were partially offset by a decrease in prepaid income taxes of $22.4 million and a decrease in inventory of $18.7 million driven by increased sales in both the Diagnostics and Breast Health segments and an effort to reduce inventory levels.
In the first three months of fiscal 2015, our investing activities utilized $22.0 million of cash primarily for capital expenditures of $21.1 million, which consisted primarily of the placement of equipment under customer usage agreements and purchases of manufacturing equipment and computer hardware.
In the first three months of fiscal 2015, our financing activities used cash of $321.2 million primarily due to $328.8 million in debt principal payments comprised of $300.0 million in voluntary prepayments and $28.8 million of scheduled principal payments under our Credit Agreement, and $10.6 million for employee-related taxes withheld for the net share settlement of vested restricted stock units. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were proceeds of $15.2 million from our equity plans, primarily from the exercise of stock options.
Debt
We had total recorded debt outstanding of $3.95 billion at December 27, 2014, which is comprised of amounts outstanding under our amended Credit Agreement of $1.70 billion (principal $1.72 billion), Senior Notes of $1.00 billion and Convertible Notes of $1.25 billion (principal $1.32 billion).
Credit Agreement
The facilities under the Credit Agreement initially consisted of:
 
•
$1.0 billion senior secured tranche A term loan, or Term Loan A, with a final maturity date of August 1, 2017;
•
$1.5 billion secured tranche B term loan, or Term Loan B, with a final maturity date of August 1, 2019; and
•
$300.0 million secured revolving credit facility, or Revolving Facility, with a final maturity date of August 1, 2017.
The credit facilities are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Guarantors, including all of the capital stock of substantially all of the U.S. subsidiaries owned by us and the Guarantors, 65% of the capital stock of certain of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries and all intercompany debt.
We are required to make scheduled principal payments under the Term Loan A facility in increasing amounts, which is currently $25.0 million per three month period and will increase to $50.0 million per three month period commencing October 31, 2015, and under the Term Loan B facility in equal installments of $3.75 million per three month period beginning on October 31, 2012 and for 27 three month periods thereafter. The remaining principal balance of $400 million for Term Loan A and $770 million for Term Loan B is due at maturity. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility are due at maturity. We are required to make principal repayments first, pro rata among the term loan facilities, and second to the

36

Revolving Facility from specified excess cash flows from operations and from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales, debt issuances, insurance recoveries and equity offerings. Subject to certain limitations, we may voluntarily pre-pay any of the credit facilities without premium or penalty.
The amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants restricting our ability and the ability of the Guarantors, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends, repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, and change the nature of their businesses.
The credit facilities contain two financial ratio covenants measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter: a total net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. As of December 27, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Senior Notes
On August 1, 2012, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are our general senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. The Senior Notes mature on August 1, 2020 and bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2013.
We may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before August 1, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We also have the option to redeem the Senior Notes on or after: August 1, 2015 through July 31, 2016 at 103.125% of par; August 1, 2016 through July 31, 2017 at 102.083% of par; August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018 at 101.042% of par; and August 1, 2018 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if we undergo a change of control, as provided in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

Convertible Notes
At December 27, 2014, our Convertible Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $1.32 billion, are recorded at $1.25 billion, which is net of the unamortized debt discount attributed to the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Notes. These notes consist of:
 
•
$450 million of our 2.00% Convertible Exchange Senior Notes due 2037 issued in November 2010, which we refer to as the 2010 Notes;
•
$500 million of our 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2042 issued in March 2012, which we refer to as the 2012 Notes; and
•
$370 million of our 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2043 issued in February 2013, which we refer to as the 2013 Notes.
Holders may require us to repurchase the 2010 Notes on each of December 15, 2016, 2020, 2025, on December 13, 2030 and on December 14, 2035, or upon a fundamental change, as provided in the indenture for the 2010 Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Holders may require us to repurchase the 2012 Notes on each of March 1, 2018, 2022, 2027 and 2032, and on March 2, 2037, or upon a fundamental change, as provided in the indenture for the 2012 Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Holders may require us to repurchase the 2013 Notes on each of December 15, 2017, 2022, 2027, 2032 and 2037, or upon a fundamental change, as provided in the indenture for the 2013 Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
We may redeem any of the 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes and 2013 Notes beginning December 19, 2016, March 6, 2018 and December 15, 2017, respectively. We may redeem all or a portion of the 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes, and 2013 Notes (i.e., in cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock) at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

37

We have recorded deferred tax liabilities related to our convertible notes original issuance discount, representing the spread between the stated cash coupon rate and the higher interest rate that is deductible for tax purposes based on the type of security. When our convertible notes are extinguished, we are required to recapture the original issuance discount previously deducted for tax purposes.
Stock Repurchase Program
On November 11, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock over the next three years. Under the stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase, from time-to-time, shares of our outstanding common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in the United States. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and we have no obligation to repurchase any amount of our common stock under the program. Through December 27, 2014, we had not repurchased any shares of our common stock under this program.
Legal Contingencies
We are currently involved in several legal proceedings and claims. In connection with these legal proceedings and claims, management periodically reviews estimates of potential costs to be incurred by us in connection with the adjudication or settlement, if any, of these proceedings. These estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based on an analysis of potential litigation outcomes and settlement strategies. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, loss contingencies are accrued if, in the opinion of management, an adverse outcome is probable and such financial outcome can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that future results for any particular quarter or annual period may be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings.
Future Liquidity Considerations
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and the cash available under our Revolving Facility will provide us with sufficient funds in order to fund our expected normal operations and debt payments, including interest, over the next twelve months. Our longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, repayment of debt and related deferred tax liabilities, as applicable, acquisitions, strategic transactions or other investments. As described above, we have significant indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Agreement, Senior Notes and Convertible Notes. These capital requirements could be substantial. For a description of risks to our operating performance and our indebtedness, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, valuations, purchase price allocations and contingent consideration related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, restructuring and other related charges, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, tax reserves and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For a discussion of how these and other factors may affect our business, see the “Cautionary Statement” above and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014.

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements presented in this report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2014.
Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative Commodity Instruments. Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, publicly traded equities, cost-method equity investments, mutual funds, insurance contracts and related deferred compensation plan liabilities, accounts payable and debt obligations. Except for our outstanding Convertible Notes and Senior Notes, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount. As of December 27, 2014, we have $1.32 billion in principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding, which are comprised of our 2010 Notes with a principal amount of $450.0 million, our 2012 Notes with a principal amount of $500.0 million and our 2013 Notes with a principal amount of $370.0 million. The Convertible Notes are recorded net of the unamortized debt discount on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes and 2013 Notes as of December 27, 2014 was approximately $566.9 million, $555.6 million and $408.3 million, respectively. Amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement aggregating $1.72 billion aggregate principal as of December 27, 2014 are subject to variable rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, we believe the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The fair value of our Senior Notes is approximately $1.04 billion.
Primary Market Risk Exposures. Our primary market risk exposure is in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. We incur interest expense on borrowings outstanding under our Convertible Notes, Senior Notes and Credit Agreement. The Convertible Notes and Senior Notes have fixed interest rates. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum, at our option, initially, with respect to all loans made under Term Loan A: (i) at the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum, or (ii) at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (i.e., the Libor rate) plus 2.00%, and with respect to loans made under Term Loan B: (i) at the Base Rate, with a floor of 1.75%, plus 1.50%, or (ii) at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (i.e., the Libor rate), with a floor of 0.75%, plus 2.50%.
As of December 27, 2014, there was $1.72 billion of aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement comprised of $871.7 million under the Term Loan A facility and $834.8 billion under the Term Loan B facility. Since these debt obligations are variable rate instruments, our interest expense associated with these instruments is subject to change. A 10% adverse movement (increase in Libor rate) would increase annual interest expense by less than $1.0 million due to the low current interest rate environment and the floor on our Term Loan B facility.
The return from cash and cash equivalents will vary as short-term interest rates change. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates, however, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to: unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

We conduct business worldwide and maintain sales and service offices outside the United States as well as manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, Germany, England, Canada and China. Our international sales are denominated in a number of currencies, primarily the Euro, U.S. dollar and Renminbi. The expenses of our international offices are denominated in local currencies, except at our Costa Rica subsidiary, where the majority of the business is conducted in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in foreign currency rates could affect our sales, cost of goods and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. In addition, currency devaluations can result in a loss if we hold deposits of that currency.
We believe that the operating expenses of our international subsidiaries that are incurred in local currencies will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our operating results and certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in the Euro are affected by changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Our expenses, denominated in Euros, are positively affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro and adversely affected when the U.S. dollar weakens. However, we believe that the foreign currency exchange risk is not significant. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign currencies that we transact in would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of December 27, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 27, 2014.
An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For the majority of restricted stock units granted, the number of shares issued on the date that the restricted stock units vest is net of the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements that we pay in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities on behalf of our employees. These repurchases of our common stock were to cover employee income tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units under our equity incentive plans.

On November 11, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock over the next three years. Through December 27, 2014, we had not repurchased any shares of our common stock under this program.
