NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the three months endedJune 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 29, 2014, or any other interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.

We consider 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 and we have not identified any significant or recognized subsequent events.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 include 52 weeks with each quarter having 13 weeks.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 29, 2013 are not expected to have a material impact on financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

Standards Implemented

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in a single note, any significant amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in its entirety in the period, and the income statement line item affected by the reclassification. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted this guidance during the three months ended June 29, 2013.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, other than goodwill, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard becomes effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption allowed. We adopted this guidance as of June 29, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 has not had an impact on our financial statements.

Guidance to be Implemented

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date ("ASU 2013-04"). This guidance changes how an entity measures obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements by requiring that when measuring the obligation, an entity will include the amount the entity agreed to pay for the arrangement between the entity and other entities that are also obligated to the liability, and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of the other entities. ASU 2013-04 also requires additional disclosures surrounding such obligations. ASU 2013-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is required to be applied retrospectively. We expect to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2014. We have not completed our evaluation of the impact of this provision on our financial reporting.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Hemerus Acquisition

On April 30, 2013 we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Hemerus LLC ("Hemerus"), a Minnesota based company that develops innovative technologies for the collection of whole blood and processing and storage of blood components. Hemerus has received FDA approval for SOLX® whole blood collection system for eight hour storage of whole blood prior to processing. Hemerus previously received CE Marking (Conformité Européenne) in the European Union to market SOLX as the world's first 56-day red blood cell storage solution. We paid $23.1 million cash in addition to the $1.0 million paid in fiscal 2013. We will pay an additional $3.0 million upon a further FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing, and will pay up to $14.0 million based on future sales of SOLX-based products through fiscal 2024.

We acquired Hemerus to complement the portfolio of whole blood collection, filtration and processing product lines we recently acquired and to bring greater efficiency and productivity to whole blood collection and processing. Hemerus manufactures and sells manual blood collection systems and filters and has operations in North America. Expected revenue from the sale of SOLX will be reported within the blood center disposables product line.

The assets and liabilities acquired from Hemerus were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary, and subject to change based primarily on finalization of the assessment of the intangible assets and the fair value of liabilities assumed.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is summarized as follows:

Asset class	Amounts Recognized as of June 29, 2013
(In thousands)
Intangible assets	$	20,400
Goodwill	10,324
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	30,724

The preliminary fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

The $20.4 million of acquired intangible assets was allocated to acquired technology. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets. Goodwill of $10.3 million primarily represents future economic benefits expected to arise from the work force and synergies expected to be gained from the integration of SOLX into our whole blood products.

Prior to the acquisition, we had not conducted business with Hemerus except make an offer to purchase along with a $1.0 million commitment in April 2012.

Contingent consideration

As described above, we will pay the sellers of Hemerus assets up to $14.0 million based on future sales of SOLX. We recognized a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments we expect to make as of the acquisition date. We will revalue this liability each reporting period and record necessary changes in the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations. As of June 29, 2013, the maximum amount of future contingent consideration (undiscounted) that we could be required to pay related to future SOLX sales is $14.0 million. Additionally we will pay $3.0 million upon FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing.

Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using projected revenues, discount rates, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates. This Level 3 fair value measurement was performed using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow over a ten year period.

Increases or decreases in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount periods and rates, as well as changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates or likelihood of earning revenue. Projected revenues are based on our most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans.

Whole Blood Acquisition

On August 1, 2012, we completed the acquisition from Pall Corporation (“Pall”) of substantially all of the assets relating to its blood collection, filtration, processing, storage, and re-infusion product lines, and all of the outstanding equity interest in Pall Mexico Manufacturing, S. de R.L. de C.V., a subsidiary of Pall based in Mexico pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Pall which we refer to as the “whole blood business.” We paid $535.2 million in cash and we anticipate paying an additional $15.0 million upon replication and delivery of certain manufacturing assets of Pall's filter media business to Haemonetics by 2016. Until that time, Pall will manufacture and sell filter media to Haemonetics under a supply agreement. We acquired the whole blood business to provide access to the manual collection and whole blood markets and provide scope for introduction of automated solutions in those markets. The whole blood business manufactures and sells manual blood collection systems and filters and has operations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific countries. Revenue from the sale of whole blood disposables has been reported within the blood center disposables product line since the date of acquisition.

The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value. During the current period, we finalized the purchase price allocation which resulted in a reduction in the value of property, plant and equipment value was reduced of $1.3 million, an increase in assumed liabilities and goodwill of $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. There was no significant change to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income during the three months endedJune 29, 2013 as a result of these fair value updates.

The final allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

Asset class	Amounts Recognized as of June 29, 2013
(In thousands)
Inventories	$	49,917
Property, plant and equipment	84,704
Intangible assets	188,500
Other assets/liabilities, net	(6,266		)
Goodwill	218,320
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	535,175

The following represents the pro forma consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as if the acquisition of the whole blood business had been included in our consolidated results beginning on April 3, 2011.

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2012
Net sales	$	230,425
Net income	$	14,217
Basic earnings per share	$	0.28
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.27

The unaudited consolidated pro-forma financial information above includes the following significant adjustments made to account for certain costs which would have been incurred if the acquisition had been completed on April 3, 2011 as adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 30, 2012
Amortization of acquired intangible assets (1)	$	3,927
Interest expense incurred on acquisition financing (2)	$	2,380
Selling, general and admin. expenses (3)	$	2,635

8

(1) Added additional amortization of the acquired whole blood intangible assets recognized at fair value in purchase accounting.

(2) Added additional interest expense for the debt used to finance the acquisition.

(3) Additional investments in infrastructure costs to replicate certain support functions performed by division or corporate organizations of Pall that did not transfer in the acquisition. These costs are primarily related to information technology infrastructure and application costs, and personnel costs required to expand regional and corporate administrative and sales support functions. These costs are not intended to be representative of actual costs incurred by Pall Corporation, and represent Haemonetics' best estimate of future incremental costs on an annualized basis. 

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. The common stock weighted average number of shares has been retroactively adjusted for the stock split that occurred on November 30, 2012.

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share amounts)	June 29, 2013			June 30, 2012
Basic EPS
Net income/(loss)	$	(7,874	)	$	9,787
Weighted average shares	51,231			50,966
Basic income/(loss) per share	$	(0.15	)	$	0.19
Diluted EPS
Net income/(loss)	$	(7,874	)	$	9,787
Basic weighted average shares	51,231			50,966
Net effect of common stock equivalents	—			898
Diluted weighted average shares	51,231			51,864
Diluted income/(loss) per share	$	(0.15	)	$	0.19

Weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of 0.8 million shares for the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, because these securities were anti-dilutive during the noted periods.

5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation expense of $3.0 million was recognized for the three months ended June 29, 2013 and the related income tax benefit recognized was $1.0 million.

The weighted average fair value for our options granted was $9.78 and $8.68 for the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The assumptions utilized for estimating the fair value of option grants during the periods presented are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012
Stock Options Black-Scholes assumptions (weighted average):
Volatility	26.22	%	27.91	%
Expected life (years)	5.0		4.9
Risk-free interest rate	1.41	%	0.92	%
Dividend yield	—	%	—	%

During the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, there were 81,465 and 84,514 shares, respectively, purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at an average price of $32.73 and $24.92 per share, respectively.

6. PRODUCT WARRANTIES

We generally provide a warranty on parts and labor for one year after the sale and installation of each device. We also warrant our disposables products through their use or expiration. We estimate our potential warranty expense based on our historical warranty experience, and we periodically assess the adequacy of our warranty accrual and make adjustments as necessary.

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 29, 2013			June 30, 2012
Warranty accrual as of the beginning of the period	$	673		$	796
Warranty provision	385			283
Warranty spending	(372		)	(437		)
Warranty accrual as of the end of the period	$	686		$	642

7. INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.

(In thousands)	June 29, 2013		March 30, 2013
Raw materials	$	74,259	$	70,716
Work-in-process	6,128		7,829
Finished goods	116,286		105,239
	$	196,673	$	183,784

8. DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We manufacture, market and sell our products globally. For the three months ended June 29, 2013, approximately 44.4% of our sales were generated outside the U.S. generally in local currencies. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency.

Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, our reporting currency. 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 foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen and the Euro, and to a lesser extent the Swiss Franc, British Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and the Mexican Peso. 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.

Designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts

All of our designated foreign currency hedge contracts as of June 29, 2013 and March 30, 2013 were cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We record the effective portion of any change in the fair value of designated foreign currency hedge contracts in Other Comprehensive Income until the related third-party transaction occurs. Once the related third-party transaction occurs, we reclassify the effective portion of any related gain or loss on the designated foreign currency hedge contracts to earnings. In the event the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we would reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. We had designated foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding in the contract amount of $120.1 million as of June 29, 2013 and $133.3 million as of March 30, 2013.

For the three months endedJune 29, 2013, a $0.8 million gain related to foreign exchange hedge contracts, net of tax, was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of any designated foreign currency hedge contracts that are, or previously were, designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, as compared to net losses of $0.8 million, net of tax, for the three months endedJune 30, 2012. At June 29, 2013, gains of $0.8 million, net of

10

tax, may be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. All currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 29, 2013 mature within twelve months.

Non-designated Foreign Currency Contracts

We manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency on a consolidated basis to take advantage of offsetting transactions and balances. We use foreign currency forward contracts as a part of our strategy to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These foreign currency forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with currency transaction exposures, generally one month. They are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC Topic 815. These forward contracts are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. We had non-designated foreign currency hedge contracts under ASC Topic 815 outstanding in the contract amount of $67.6 million as of June 29, 2013 and $65.6 million as of March 30, 2013.

Interest Rate Swaps

On August 1, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement which provided for a $475.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). Under the terms of this Credit Agreement, we may borrow at a spread to an index, including the LIBOR index of 1-month, 3-months, 6-months, etc. From the date of the Credit Agreement, we have chosen to borrow against the 1-month USD-LIBOR-BBA rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest1/16^th of 1% (“Adjusted LIBOR”). The terms of the Credit Agreement also allow us to borrow in multiple tranches. While we currently borrow in a single tranche, in the future, we may choose to borrow in multiple tranches.

Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are exposed to interest rate risk from changes in adjusted LIBOR. Part of our interest rate risk management strategy includes the use of interest rate swaps to mitigate our exposure to changes in variable interest rates. Our 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. If the interest rate swap qualifies for hedge accounting, we formally document our hedge relationships (including identifying the hedged instrument and hedged item) at hedge inception. On a quarterly basis, we assess whether the interest rate swaps are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flow of the hedged item. We do not hold or issue interest rate swaps for trading purposes. We manage the credit risk of the counterparties by dealing only with institutions that we consider financially sound and consider the risk of non-performance to be remote.

On December 21, 2012, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements ("the swaps"), whereby we receive Adjusted LIBOR and pay an average fixed rate of 0.68%on a total notional value of $250.0 million of debt. The interest rate swaps mature on August 1, 2017. We designated the interest rate swaps as a cash flow hedge of variable interest rate risk associated with $250.0 million of indebtedness. For the three months endedJune 29, 2013, a gain of $2.1 million, net of tax, was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as of June 29, 2013 for the difference between Adjust LIBOR payments received and fixed rates paid were not material

We did not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as of June 29, 2013 or March 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The following table presents the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and those not designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815 in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 29, 2013.

We did not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as of June 29, 2013 or March 30, 2013. In fiscal 2014, the amount recognized as deferred tax for designated foreign currency was $0.7 million and the amount recognized as deferred tax for interest rate swap hedges was $0.9 million.

ASC Topic 815 requires all derivative instruments to be recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. We determine the fair value of our derivative instruments using the framework prescribed by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, by considering the estimated amount we would receive or pay to sell or transfer these instruments at the reporting date and by taking into account current interest rates, currency exchange rates, current interest rate curves, interest rate volatilities, the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets, and our creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, we may utilize financial models to measure fair value. Generally, we use inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. As of June 29, 2013, we have classified our derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC Topic 815, as discussed below, because these observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of our derivative instruments.

The following tables present the fair value of our derivative instruments as they appear in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 29, 2013 by type of contract and whether it is a qualifying hedge under ASC Topic 815.

(In thousands)	Location in Balance Sheet	June 29, 2013		March 30, 2013
Derivative Assets:
Designated foreign currency hedge contracts	Other current assets	$	5,749	$	7,030
Designated interest rate swaps	Other current assets	2,312		—

Other Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, for the three months ended June 29, 2013, we applied the requirements under ASC Topic 820 to our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. As we did not have an impairment of any non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities, there was no disclosure required relating to our non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities.

On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, including our money market funds, foreign currency hedge contracts, and contingent consideration. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We base fair value upon quoted market prices, where available. Where quoted market prices or other observable inputs are not available, we apply valuation techniques to estimate fair value.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are other observable inputs, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities and market-corroborated inputs.

• Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based on management’s best estimate of inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.

12

Our money market funds carried at fair value are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

Fair Value Measured on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the following as of June 29, 2013:

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The Term Loan is carried at amortized cost and accounts receivable and accounts payable are also reported at their cost which approximates fair value.

9. INCOME TAXES

We conduct business globally and as a result report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States.  Our reported tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate as the income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions are generally lower. 

During the three month period ended June 29, 2013 we incurred a consolidated net loss.  The reported tax rate that we recorded on the consolidated net loss was 14.9% for the period ended June 29, 2013.  Lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions contributed to this reported rate.  In addition, during the period we recorded pre-tax losses in Italy associated with restructuring costs, and we did not record a corresponding tax benefit due to uncertainty around our ability to realize a tax benefit in Italy.

The reported tax rate was 27.0% for the period ended June 30, 2012 resulted from our global distribution of income and tax rates that are lower than the federal statutory rate in foreign jurisdictions. 

10.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are presently engaged in various legal actions, and although ultimate liability cannot be determined at the present time, we believe, based on consultation with counsel, that any such liability will not materially affect our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we issued a field action letter to blood center customers requesting visual inspection of a component of certain whole blood collection sets, due to the potential for a leak to occur at a very low frequency.  The component, referred to as a Y connector, was supplied by a contract manufacturer. As of June 29, 2013, we have an inventory reserve of $7.3 million for removal of affected whole blood collection sets for destruction or rework.

11.SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Definition Criteria

We manage our business on the basis of one operating segment: the design, manufacture, and marketing of blood management solutions. Our chief operating decision-maker uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions. Manufacturing processes, as well as the regulatory environment in which we operate, are largely the same for all product categories.

Enterprise-Wide Disclosures about Product and Services

We have four global product families: plasma, blood center, hospital, and software solutions.

Our products include whole blood disposables, equipment devices and the related disposables used with these devices. Disposables include part of plasma, blood center, and hospital product families. Plasma consists of the disposables used to perform apheresis for the separation of whole blood components and subsequent collection of plasma to be used as a raw material for biologically derived pharmaceuticals. Blood center consists of disposables which separate whole blood for the subsequent collection of platelets, plasma, red cells, or a combination of these components for transfusion to patients as well as disposables for manual whole blood collection. Hospital consists of surgical disposables (principally the Cell Saver^® autologous blood recovery system targeted to procedures that involve rapid, high volume blood loss such as cardiovascular surgeries and the cardioPAT^® cardiovascular perioperative autotransfusion system designed to remain with the patient following surgery to recover blood and the patient’s red cells to prepare them for reinfusion), the OrthoPAT^® orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system designed to operate both during and after surgery to recover and wash the patient’s red cells to prepare them for reinfusion, and diagnostics products (principally the TEG^® Thrombelastograph^® hemostasis analyzer used to help assess a surgical patient’s hemostasis during and after surgery). Software solutions include information technology platforms that assist blood centers, plasma centers, and hospitals to more effectively manage regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

12.RESTRUCTURING

On May 1, 2013 we announced that our Board of Directors has approved a plan to pursue identified Value Creation & Capture (“VCC”) opportunities. These include: (i) investment in product line extensions, next generation products and growth platforms; (ii) enhancement of commercial execution capabilities by implementing go-to-market and other strategies to enable global profitable revenue growth; and (iii) transformation of the manufacturing network to best support these commercial strategies while optimizing expense levels. Collectively, these are opportunities to position us for optimal growth and increased competitiveness.

Transformation of the manufacturing network will take place over the next three fiscal years, and will involve (i) discontinuing manufacturing activities at our Braintree, Massachusetts and Ascoli-Piceno, Italy locations, (ii) creating a technology center of excellence for product development close to our current Corporate Headquarters, (iii) expansion of our current facility in Tijuana, Mexico, (iv) engaging Sanmina Corporation as a contract manufacturer to produce certain medical equipment, and (v) building a new manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia closer to our customers in Asia.

We expect to deploy significant financial resources for these activities. Many of the activities necessary to conclude these VCC initiatives constitute restructuring. The substantial majority of costs in the table below relate to VCC initiatives. Other restructuring is primarily related to the completion of integration activities associated with the whole blood acquisition.

For the three months ended June 29, 2013, we incurred $23.5 million of restructuring charges of which $14.7 million is payable within the next twelve months. The substantial majority of restructuring expenses have been included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $60.0 million in total restructuring charges related to VCC initiatives in fiscal 2014.

13.CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

For costs incurred related to the development of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, we apply the provisions of ASC Topic 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, which 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.

We capitalized $1.3 million and $1.9 million in software development costs for ongoing initiatives during the three month periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. At June 29, 2013 and March 30, 2013, we have a total of $21.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of costs capitalized related to in-process software development initiatives. The costs capitalized for each project are included in intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with both our interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our annual consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and the MD&A contained in our fiscal year 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 20, 2013. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

Our Business

Haemonetics is a blood management solutions company. Anchored by our medical device systems, we also provide information technology platforms and value added services to provide customers with business solutions which support improved clinical outcomes for patients and efficiency in the blood supply chain. On April 30, 2013 we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Hemerus Medical LLC ("Hemerus"), a Minnesota based company that develops innovative technologies for the collection of whole blood and processing and storage of blood components. Hemerus has received FDA approval for SOLX® whole blood collection system for eight hour storage of whole blood. Hemerus previously received CE Marking (Conformité Européenne) in the European Union to market SOLX as the world's first 56-day red blood cell storage solution. We paid $23.1 million cash in addition to the $1.0 million paid early in fiscal 2013. We will pay an additional $3.0 million upon a further FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing, and will pay up to $14.0 million on future sales of SOLX-based products.

Value Creation and Capture

In the aggregate, we recorded restructuring and restructuring-related charges pursuant to VCC initiatives of $25.1 millionin this quarter of which $23.9 million was recorded in selling, general and administrative and remaining $1.2 million in cost of goods sold. Restructuring and restructuring-related costs are excluded by management for purposes of evaluating operating performance.

Our medical device systems provide both automated and manual collection and processing of donated blood, assess likelihood for blood loss, salvage and process blood from surgery patients, and dispense and track blood inventory in the hospital. These systems include devices and single-use, proprietary disposable sets (“disposables”) some of which only operate with our specialized devices. Specifically, our plasma and blood center systems allow users to collect and process only the blood component(s) they target - plasma, platelets, or red blood cells - increasing donor and patient safety as well as collection efficiencies. Our blood diagnostics system assesses hemostasis (a patient's clotting ability) to aid clinicians in assessing the cause of bleeding, resulting in overall reductions in blood product usage. Our surgical blood salvage systems allow surgeons to collect the blood lost by a patient in surgery, cleanse the blood, and make it available for transfusion back to the patient. Our blood tracking systems automate the distribution of blood products in the hospital. Our manual blood collection and filtration systems enable the manual collection of all blood components while detecting bacteria, thus reducing the risks of infection through transfusion.

We place devices with some of our customers which remain our property. The customer has the right to use these for a period of time as long as certain conditions are met, which, among other things, generally include one or more of the following:

• Purchase and consumption of a minimum level of disposables products;

• Payment of monthly rental fees; and

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

17

Our disposables revenue stream includes the sales of manual collection and filtration systems, device disposables and fees for the use of our equipment, which accounted for approximately 87.0% and 82.4% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Net revenues increased 24.4% for the three months ended June 29, 2013 as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effects of foreign exchange, net revenues increased 26.4% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. The negative impact of foreign currency was associated with the weakening of the Japanese Yen, which had a 220 basis points impact on our revenue. The three months endedJune 29, 2013 include sales from the whole blood business acquired on August 1, 2012 of $51.3 million, as well as growth in our plasma and diagnostics disposable sales. These increases were partially offset by declines across other product lines for the three months endedJune 29, 2013.

We recorded an operating loss during the three months endedJune 29, 2013 as compared to an operating profit recorded for the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Gross profit increase due to revenue growth was more than offset by higher operating expenses due to a significant increase in transformation and restructuring costs primarily associated with VCC initiatives.

We recorded a net loss for the three months ended June 29, 2013 as compared to net income recorded for the same three month period of fiscal 2013. The decrease in net income was attributable to the decrease in operating income described above and additional interest expense.

International Operations and the Impact of Foreign Exchange

Our principal operations are in the U.S., Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. Our products are marketed in approximately 100 countries around the world through a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors and agents.

Our revenues generated outside the U.S. approximated 44.4% of total net revenues for the three months ended June 29, 2013. International sales are generally conducted in local currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen and the Euro. Our revenues are impacted by changes in the value of the Yen and the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.

Please see 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.

Disposables

Disposables revenue increased 31.3% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, disposables revenue increased 33.7% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013, driven primarily by revenue from the acquired whole blood business.

19

Plasma

Plasma disposables revenue increased 2.3% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, plasma revenue increased 4.3% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Plasma revenue increased for the three months endedJune 29, 2013 due primarily to higher volumes from commercial fractionation customers in the United States and our European distribution customers offset by declines in Australia and New Zealand arising from our transition to direct sales from a distribution model.

Blood Center

Blood center consists of disposables used to collect platelets, red cells and whole blood.

Platelet disposables revenue decreased 7.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, platelet disposable revenue decreased 3.4% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013, due to unfavorable order timing in our distribution markets, partially offset by growth in Japan due to the timing of orders in the prior year.

Red cell disposables revenue decreased 17.1% in the three months endedJune 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, red cell disposables revenue decreased 16.3% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013, resulting from favorable order timing in the three months ended March 30, 2013. Also, market data indicates that improved blood management procedures in hospitals is accelerating the reduction in demand for red cells.

Whole blood disposables revenue was $51.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, representing sales of products from the acquisition completed on August 1, 2012.

Hospital

Hospital consists of Surgical, OrthoPAT, and Diagnostics products.

Surgical disposables revenue consists principally of the Cell Saver and CardioPAT products. Revenues from our surgical disposables decreased 11.9% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, surgical disposables revenue decreased 7.5% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013, due to the return to the market of a competitor with aggressive pricing whose operations were limited by a natural disaster in the prior year, and by a reduction in demand for surgical procedures.

Revenues from our OrthoPAT disposables decreased 16.2% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, OrthoPAT disposables revenue decreased 12.7% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013, as better blood management has reduced demand for OrthoPAT disposables. Recent market trends toward the adoption of tranexamic acid to treat and prevent post-operative blood loss have lessened hospital use of OrthoPAT disposables.

Diagnostics product revenue consists principally of the consumable reagents used with the TEG analyzer. Revenues from our diagnostics products increased 16.8% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, diagnostics product revenues increased 16.9% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. The revenue increase is due to continued adoption of our TEG analyzer, principally in the U.S.

Software Solutions

Our software solutions revenues include sales of our information technology software platforms and consulting services. Software revenues decreased 3.2% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, software revenues decreased 3.1% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. The decrease is primarily driven by declines in plasma software revenue, including the negative impact of a plasma customer transitioning to self-hosting.

Equipment & Other

Our equipment and other revenues include revenue from equipment sales, repairs performed under preventive maintenance contracts or emergency service visits, spare part sales, and various service and training programs. These revenues are primarily composed of equipment sales, which tend to vary from period to period more than our disposable business due to the timing of order patterns, particularly in our distribution markets. Equipment and other revenues decreased 14.1% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month periods of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, equipment and other revenues decreased 12.7% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three

20

month period of fiscal 2013. The decline in revenue for the three months endedJune 29, 2013 is due primarily to 20% growth in equipment sales in the prior fiscal year associated with the timing of orders, tender and capital budgets. Prior year's results also benefited from a competitor whose operations were limited by a natural disaster, and the successful launch of the Cell Saver Elite.

Gross Profit

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	June 29, 2013			June 30, 2012			% Increase/ (Decrease)
Gross profit	$	111,412		$	90,113		23.6	%
% of net revenues	50.7		%	51.1		%

Gross profit increased 23.6% for the three months ended June 29, 2013 compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. Without the effect of foreign exchange, gross profit increased 25.2% for the three months ended June 29, 2013, as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. The gross profit margin decreased by 32 basis points for the three months endedJune 29, 2013 as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013.

The decrease in gross profit margin includes the impact of whole blood disposable sales and higher plasma disposable sales, as these products carry lower average gross margins than other product lines, as well as certain inventory and non-cash costs incurred related to VCC and whole blood integration activities. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased 19.1% for the three months ended June 29, 2013 as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. These increases are primarily due to additional staff and program spending related to the whole blood acquisition and related product initiatives, as well as new research initiatives and development programs undertaken this period.

Selling, General and Administrative

During the three months ended June 29, 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 57.9% as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013. These increases include severance and other costs associated with VCC initiatives of $23.9 million and approximately $13.6 million of incremental expense related to the whole blood business following the August 1, 2012 acquisition, of which $4.2 million is amortization of acquired intangible assets.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, increased for the three months ended June 29, 2013 as compared to the same three month period of fiscal 2013, primarily due to interest expense from the $475.0 million Term Loan borrowed in connection with the whole blood acquisition.

Income Taxes

	Three Months Ended
	June 29, 2013		June 30, 2012		% Increase/ (Decrease)
Reported income tax rate	14.9	%	27.0	%	(12.1	)%

We conduct business globally and as a result report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States.  Our reported tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate as the income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions are generally lower. 

During the three month period ended June 29, 2013 we incurred a consolidated net loss.  The reported tax rate that we recorded on the consolidated net loss was 14.9% for the period ended June 29, 2013.  Lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions contributed to this reported rate.  In addition, during the period we recorded pre-tax losses in Italy associated with restructuring costs, and we did not record a corresponding tax benefit due to uncertainty around our ability to realize a tax benefit in Italy.

The reported tax rate was 27.0% for the period ended June 30, 2012 resulted from our global distribution of income and tax rates that are lower than the federal statutory rate in foreign jurisdictions. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

(Dollars in thousands)	June 29, 2013			March 30, 2013
Cash & cash equivalents	$	166,328		$	179,120
Working capital	$	403,577		$	416,866
Current ratio	3.1			3.3
Net (debt)/cash position (1)	$	(314,225	)	$	(300,974	)
Days sales outstanding (DSO)	65			62
Disposable finished goods inventory turnover	3.7			4.0

(1) Net (debt)/cash position is the sum of cash and cash equivalents less total debt.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, internally generated cash flow from operations and option exercises. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our cash requirements over the next twelve months, which are primarily payments associated with VCC initiatives, acquisition and integration activities, capital expenditure, planned principal payments of $27.0 million under the Credit Agreement, share repurchases under programs authorized by the Board of Directors at its discretion from time to time and other investments.

VCC initiatives

We expect to record approximately $119.0 million of restructuring costs, capital expenditures and certain non-cash expenses during fiscal 2014 in connection with VCC initiatives and completion of the whole blood integration as presented below. 

(In millions)	Total
Manufacturing network optimization	$	43.0
Commercial excellence initiatives	8.0
Productivity and operational initiatives	10.0
Completion of whole blood integration	11.0
Network transformation capital	37.0
Non-cash asset write downs or accelerated depreciation	10.0
Total	$	119.0

22

These costs consist principally of severance and other employee related costs, product line transfer costs including relocation and validation, as well as redundant overhead and inefficiencies during the transfer period. The management and execution will require a dedicated team of program managers, engineers, regulatory and quality professionals, the cost of which is included in these estimates. Network transformation capital will be used to expand our existing Tijuana, Mexico facility and construct a new facility in Penang, Malaysia.

Debt

In connection with the acquisition of the whole blood business, we entered into a credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with certain lenders (together, “Lenders”) which provided for a $475.0 million Term Loan and a $50.0 million revolving loan (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), and together with the Term Loan, (the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities have a term of five years and mature on August 1, 2017. Interest is based on the Adjusted LIBOR plus a range of 1.125% to 1.500% depending on achievement of leverage ratios and customary credit terms which include financial and negative covenants. As of June 29, 2013 all $50.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility was available and we were in compliance with the financial covenants including Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio.

(1) The balance sheet is affected by spot exchange rates used to translate local currency amounts into U.S. Dollars. In accordance with GAAP, we have removed the effect of foreign currency throughout our cash flow statement, except for its effect on our cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flow Overview:

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $12.8 million during the three months endedJune 29, 2013 as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2012 primarily due to higher cash receipts associated with sales growth and stable collection patterns which more than offset increased expenditure following the whole blood acquisition. Cash expenditures related to restructuring and integration activities did not increase significantly compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012, as the substantial majority of cash payments under VCC initiatives in fiscal 2014 will be paid subsequent to June 29, 2013.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $26.5 million during the three months endedJune 29, 2013 as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2012 due primarily to the $23.1 million payment for the acquisition of Hemerus.

Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $6.7 million during the three months endedJune 29, 2013, as compared to the three months endedJune 30, 2012 due primarily to lower proceeds from stock option exercises of $7.0 million.

Concentration of Credit Risk

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. A portion of our trade accounts receivable outside the United States, however, 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.

23

We have not incurred significant losses on government receivables. We continually evaluate 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.

Deteriorating credit and economic conditions in parts of Western Europe, particularly in Italy, where our net accounts receivable is $23.1 million and $23.4 million as of June 29, 2013 and March 30, 2013, respectively, may increase the average length of time it takes us to collect accounts receivable in certain regions within these countries.

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.

Foreign Exchange

During the three months endedJune 29, 2013, approximately 44.4% of our sales were generated outside the U.S., generally in foreign currencies, yet our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. Our primary foreign currency exposures relate to sales denominated in the Euro, the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. We also have foreign currency exposure related to manufacturing and other operational costs denominated in the Swiss Franc, the British Pound and the Canadian Dollar. The Yen and Euro 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 and Euro sales exceed the foreign currency denominated costs, whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the Yen or Euro, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations and, conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to the Yen or Euro, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. For the Swiss Franc, the British Pound, the Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso 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 the Japanese Yen and the Euro, and to a lesser extent the Swiss Franc, British Pound, Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso. 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 and are intended to lock in the expected cash flows of forecasted foreign currency denominated sales and costs at the available spot rate. Actual spot rate gains and losses on these contracts are recorded in sales and costs, at the same time the underlying transactions being hedged are recorded. 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.

24

Presented below are the spot rates for our Euro, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, and Swiss Franc cash flow hedges that settled during fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 or are presently outstanding. These hedges cover our long foreign currency positions that result from our sales designated in Euro and the Japanese Yen. These hedges also include our short positions associated with costs incurred in Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, and Swiss Francs. The table also shows how the strengthening or weakening of the spot rates associated with those hedge contracts versus the spot rates in the contracts that settled in the prior comparable period affects our results favorably or unfavorably. The table assumes a consistent notional amount for hedge contracts in each period presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

New pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 29, 2013 are not expected to have a material impact on financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

Guidance to be Implemented

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date ("ASU 2013-04"). This

25

guidance changes how an entity measures obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements by requiring that when measuring the obligation, an entity will include the amount the entity agreed to pay for the arrangement between the entity and other entities that are also obligated to the liability, and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of the other entities. ASU 2013-04 also requires additional disclosures surrounding such obligations. ASU 2013-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is required to be applied retrospectively. We expect to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2014. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, but will require additional disclosures.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Statements contained in this report, as well as oral statements we make which are prefaced with the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “designed,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward looking statements regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect our future plans of operations, business strategy, results of operations, and financial position. These statements are based on our current expectations and estimates as to prospective events and circumstances about which we can give no firm assurance. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made. As it is not possible to predict every new factor that may emerge, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of our actual future financial condition or results. These forward-looking statements, like any forward-looking statements, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Such risks and uncertainties include the effects of disruption from the acquisition of the Pall whole blood business making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, vendors and other business partners, unexpected expenses incurred to integrate the Pall whole blood business, our ability to successfully execute on the transformation of our manufacturing network and our other value creation and capture activities, technological advances in the medical field and standards for transfusion medicine and our ability to successfully implement products that incorporate such advances and standards, demand for blood components, product quality, market acceptance, regulatory uncertainties, the effect of economic and political conditions, the impact of competitive products and pricing, blood product reimbursement policies and practices, foreign currency exchange rates, changes in customers' ordering patterns, the effect of industry consolidation as seen in the plasma market, the effect of communicable diseases and the effect of uncertainties in markets outside the U.S. (including Europe and Asia) in which we operate and such other risks described under the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s exposure relative to market risk is due to foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

See the section 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. 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. In the event of a 10% strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, the change in fair value of all forward contracts would result in an $8.1 million increase in the fair value of the forward contracts; whereas a 10% weakening of the US Dollar would result in an $8.4 million decrease in the fair value of the forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to changes in interest rates is associated with borrowings on our credit facility, all of which is variable rate debt. All other long-term debt is at fixed rates. Total outstanding debt under our credit facility as of June 29, 2013 was $475.0 million with an interest rate of 1.625% based on prevailing LIBOR rates. An increase of 100 basis points in LIBOR rates would result in additional annual interest expense of $4.8 million; the hedge reduces, but does not eliminate the exposure. On December 21, 2012, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert $250.0 million of borrowings from a variable rate to a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges. The major risks from interest rate swaps include changes in the interest rates affecting the fair value of such instruments, potential increases in interest expense due to market increases in floating interest rates and the creditworthiness of the counterparties in such transactions. We continuously monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties.

26

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We conducted an evaluation, as of June 29, 2013, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 29, 2013. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 29, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We acquired Pall Corporation's transfusion medicine business on August 1, 2012. We have extended our oversight and monitoring processes that support our internal control over financial reporting to include the acquired operations. We are continuing to integrate the acquired operations into our overall internal control over financial reporting process. We will assess the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for the acquired whole blood business this fiscal year.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Fenwal Patent Litigation

For the past five years, we have pursued a patent infringement lawsuit against Fenwal, the details of which are summarized in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013. In January 2010, we were awarded damages and an injunction against Fenwal in connection with this lawsuit.

On June 2, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's claim construction and accordingly, vacated the injunction and damages previously awarded to Haemonetics and remanded the case to the trial court for further proceedings. On September 15, 2011, the trial court granted a summary judgment motion which essentially ended the U.S. case in Fenwal's favor.

We continue to pursue a patent infringement action in Germany against Fenwal and its European and German subsidiary, for Fenwal's infringement of Haemonetics' corresponding European patent to the Haemonetics patent at issue in the United States litigation. Further details related to these proceedings have been disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013. There have been no material developments related to these proceedings during the current fiscal year.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2013, which could materially affect the Company's business, financial condition or future results.

RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

REORGANIZATION

RESTRUCTURING

On May 1, 2013 we announced that our Board of Directors has approved a plan to pursue identified Value Creation & Capture (“VCC”) opportunities. These include: (i) investment in product line extensions, next generation products and growth platforms; (ii) enhancement of commercial execution capabilities by implementing go-to-market and other strategies to enable global profitable revenue growth; and (iii) transformation of the manufacturing network to best support these commercial strategies while optimizing expense levels. Collectively, these are opportunities to position us for optimal growth and increased competitiveness.

Transformation of the manufacturing network will take place over the next three fiscal years, and will involve (i) discontinuing manufacturing activities at our Braintree, Massachusetts and Ascoli-Piceno, Italy locations, (ii) creating a technology center of excellence for product development close to our current Corporate Headquarters, (iii) expansion of our current facility in Tijuana, Mexico, (iv) engaging Sanmina Corporation as a contract manufacturer to produce certain medical equipment, and (v) building a new manufacturing facility in Penang, Malaysia closer to our customers in Asia.

We expect to deploy significant financial resources for these activities. Many of the activities necessary to conclude these VCC initiatives constitute restructuring. The substantial majority of costs in the table below relate to VCC initiatives. Other restructuring is primarily related to the completion of integration activities associated with the whole blood acquisition.

For the three months ended June 29, 2013, we incurred $23.5 million of restructuring charges of which $14.7 million is payable within the next twelve months. The substantial majority of restructuring expenses have been included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $60.0 million in total restructuring charges related to VCC initiatives in fiscal 2014.

The following summarizes the restructuring activity for the three months ended June 29, 2013:

Capitalization of Software and Development Costs [Abstract]

CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

CAPITALIZATION OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS

For costs incurred related to the development of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed, we apply the provisions of ASC Topic 985-20, Software - Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed, which 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.

We capitalized $1.3 million and $1.9 million in software development costs for ongoing initiatives during the three month periods ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. At June 29, 2013 and March 30, 2013, we have a total of $21.3 million and $20.0 million, respectively, of costs capitalized related to in-process software development initiatives. The costs capitalized for each project are included in intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the three months endedJune 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 29, 2014, or any other interim period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013.

We consider 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 and we have not identified any significant or recognized subsequent events.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Fiscal years 2014 and 2013 include 52 weeks with each quarter having 13 weeks.

ACQUISITIONS

ACQUISITIONS

Hemerus Acquisition

On April 30, 2013 we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Hemerus LLC ("Hemerus"), a Minnesota based company that develops innovative technologies for the collection of whole blood and processing and storage of blood components. Hemerus has received FDA approval for SOLX® whole blood collection system for eight hour storage of whole blood prior to processing. Hemerus previously received CE Marking (Conformité Européenne) in the European Union to market SOLX as the world's first 56-day red blood cell storage solution. We paid $23.1 million cash in addition to the $1.0 million paid in fiscal 2013. We will pay an additional $3.0 million upon a further FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing, and will pay up to $14.0 million based on future sales of SOLX-based products through fiscal 2024.

We acquired Hemerus to complement the portfolio of whole blood collection, filtration and processing product lines we recently acquired and to bring greater efficiency and productivity to whole blood collection and processing. Hemerus manufactures and sells manual blood collection systems and filters and has operations in North America. Expected revenue from the sale of SOLX will be reported within the blood center disposables product line.

The assets and liabilities acquired from Hemerus were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary, and subject to change based primarily on finalization of the assessment of the intangible assets and the fair value of liabilities assumed.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is summarized as follows:

Asset class	Amounts Recognized as of June 29, 2013
(In thousands)
Intangible assets	$	20,400
Goodwill	10,324
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	30,724

The preliminary fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets.

The $20.4 million of acquired intangible assets was allocated to acquired technology. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets. Goodwill of $10.3 million primarily represents future economic benefits expected to arise from the work force and synergies expected to be gained from the integration of SOLX into our whole blood products.

Prior to the acquisition, we had not conducted business with Hemerus except make an offer to purchase along with a $1.0 million commitment in April 2012.

Contingent consideration

As described above, we will pay the sellers of Hemerus assets up to $14.0 million based on future sales of SOLX. We recognized a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments we expect to make as of the acquisition date. We will revalue this liability each reporting period and record necessary changes in the fair value in our consolidated statements of operations. As of June 29, 2013, the maximum amount of future contingent consideration (undiscounted) that we could be required to pay related to future SOLX sales is $14.0 million. Additionally we will pay $3.0 million upon FDA approval of the SOLX solution for 24 hour storage of whole blood prior to processing.

Contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using projected revenues, discount rates, probabilities of payment and projected payment dates. This Level 3 fair value measurement was performed using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow over a ten year period.

Increases or decreases in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount periods and rates, as well as changes in the timing and amount of revenue estimates or likelihood of earning revenue. Projected revenues are based on our most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans.

Whole Blood Acquisition

On August 1, 2012, we completed the acquisition from Pall Corporation (“Pall”) of substantially all of the assets relating to its blood collection, filtration, processing, storage, and re-infusion product lines, and all of the outstanding equity interest in Pall Mexico Manufacturing, S. de R.L. de C.V., a subsidiary of Pall based in Mexico pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Pall which we refer to as the “whole blood business.” We paid $535.2 million in cash and we anticipate paying an additional $15.0 million upon replication and delivery of certain manufacturing assets of Pall's filter media business to Haemonetics by 2016. Until that time, Pall will manufacture and sell filter media to Haemonetics under a supply agreement. We acquired the whole blood business to provide access to the manual collection and whole blood markets and provide scope for introduction of automated solutions in those markets. The whole blood business manufactures and sells manual blood collection systems and filters and has operations in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific countries. Revenue from the sale of whole blood disposables has been reported within the blood center disposables product line since the date of acquisition.

The acquired assets and liabilities were recorded at fair value. During the current period, we finalized the purchase price allocation which resulted in a reduction in the value of property, plant and equipment value was reduced of $1.3 million, an increase in assumed liabilities and goodwill of $0.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. There was no significant change to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income during the three months endedJune 29, 2013 as a result of these fair value updates.

The final allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

Asset class	Amounts Recognized as of June 29, 2013
(In thousands)
Inventories	$	49,917
Property, plant and equipment	84,704
Intangible assets	188,500
Other assets/liabilities, net	(6,266		)
Goodwill	218,320
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	535,175

The following represents the pro forma consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as if the acquisition of the whole blood business had been included in our consolidated results beginning on April 3, 2011.

Net sales	$	230,425
Net income	$	14,217

The unaudited consolidated pro-forma financial information above includes the following significant adjustments made to account for certain costs which would have been incurred if the acquisition had been completed on April 3, 2011 as adjusted for the applicable tax impact.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets (1)	$	3,927
Interest expense incurred on acquisition financing (2)	$	2,380

(1) Added additional amortization of the acquired whole blood intangible assets recognized at fair value in purchase accounting.

(2) Added additional interest expense for the debt used to finance the acquisition.

(3) Additional investments in infrastructure costs to replicate certain support functions performed by division or corporate organizations of Pall that did not transfer in the acquisition. These costs are primarily related to information technology infrastructure and application costs, and personnel costs required to expand regional and corporate administrative and sales support functions. These costs are not intended to be representative of actual costs incurred by Pall Corporation, and represent Haemonetics' best estimate of future incremental costs on an annualized basis.

EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. The common stock weighted average number of shares has been retroactively adjusted for the stock split that occurred on November 30, 2012.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

We conduct business globally and as a result report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States.  Our reported tax rate is lower than the federal statutory rate as the income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions are generally lower. 

During the three month period ended June 29, 2013 we incurred a consolidated net loss.  The reported tax rate that we recorded on the consolidated net loss was 14.9% for the period ended June 29, 2013.  Lower tax rates in foreign jurisdictions contributed to this reported rate.  In addition, during the period we recorded pre-tax losses in Italy associated with restructuring costs, and we did not record a corresponding tax benefit due to uncertainty around our ability to realize a tax benefit in Italy.

The reported tax rate was 27.0% for the period ended June 30, 2012 resulted from our global distribution of income and tax rates that are lower than the federal statutory rate in foreign jurisdictions.

DERIVATIVES AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We manufacture, market and sell our products globally. For the three months ended June 29, 2013, approximately 44.4% of our sales were generated outside the U.S. generally in local currencies. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency.

Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, our reporting currency. 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 foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen and the Euro, and to a lesser extent the Swiss Franc, British Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and the Mexican Peso. 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.

Designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts

All of our designated foreign currency hedge contracts as of June 29, 2013 and March 30, 2013 were cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We record the effective portion of any change in the fair value of designated foreign currency hedge contracts in Other Comprehensive Income until the related third-party transaction occurs. Once the related third-party transaction occurs, we reclassify the effective portion of any related gain or loss on the designated foreign currency hedge contracts to earnings. In the event the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, we would reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. We had designated foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding in the contract amount of $120.1 million as of June 29, 2013 and $133.3 million as of March 30, 2013.

For the three months endedJune 29, 2013, a $0.8 million gain related to foreign exchange hedge contracts, net of tax, was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of any designated foreign currency hedge contracts that are, or previously were, designated as foreign currency cash flow hedges, as compared to net losses of $0.8 million, net of tax, for the three months endedJune 30, 2012. At June 29, 2013, gains of $0.8 million, net of tax, may be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. All currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 29, 2013 mature within twelve months.

Non-designated Foreign Currency Contracts

We manage our exposure to changes in foreign currency on a consolidated basis to take advantage of offsetting transactions and balances. We use foreign currency forward contracts as a part of our strategy to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These foreign currency forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with currency transaction exposures, generally one month. They are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC Topic 815. These forward contracts are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. We had non-designated foreign currency hedge contracts under ASC Topic 815 outstanding in the contract amount of $67.6 million as of June 29, 2013 and $65.6 million as of March 30, 2013.

Interest Rate Swaps

On August 1, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement which provided for a $475.0 million term loan (“Term Loan”). Under the terms of this Credit Agreement, we may borrow at a spread to an index, including the LIBOR index of 1-month, 3-months, 6-months, etc. From the date of the Credit Agreement, we have chosen to borrow against the 1-month USD-LIBOR-BBA rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest1/16^th of 1% (“Adjusted LIBOR”). The terms of the Credit Agreement also allow us to borrow in multiple tranches. While we currently borrow in a single tranche, in the future, we may choose to borrow in multiple tranches.

Accordingly, our earnings and cash flows are exposed to interest rate risk from changes in adjusted LIBOR. Part of our interest rate risk management strategy includes the use of interest rate swaps to mitigate our exposure to changes in variable interest rates. Our 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. If the interest rate swap qualifies for hedge accounting, we formally document our hedge relationships (including identifying the hedged instrument and hedged item) at hedge inception. On a quarterly basis, we assess whether the interest rate swaps are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flow of the hedged item. We do not hold or issue interest rate swaps for trading purposes. We manage the credit risk of the counterparties by dealing only with institutions that we consider financially sound and consider the risk of non-performance to be remote.

On December 21, 2012, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements ("the swaps"), whereby we receive Adjusted LIBOR and pay an average fixed rate of 0.68%on a total notional value of $250.0 million of debt. The interest rate swaps mature on August 1, 2017. We designated the interest rate swaps as a cash flow hedge of variable interest rate risk associated with $250.0 million of indebtedness. For the three months endedJune 29, 2013, a gain of $2.1 million, net of tax, was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges. Amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as of June 29, 2013 for the difference between Adjust LIBOR payments received and fixed rates paid were not material

We did not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as of June 29, 2013 or March 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The following table presents the effect of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and those not designated as hedging instruments under ASC Topic 815 in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 29, 2013.

Derivative Instruments	Amount of Gain/(Loss) Recognized in AOCI (Effective Portion)		Amount of Gain/(Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Earnings (Effective Portion)		Location in Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income	Amount of gain Excluded from Effectiveness Testing (*)		Location in Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income

Non-designated foreign currency hedge contracts	—		—			387		Other income (expense)
Designated interest rate swaps, net of tax	$	2,129	$	274	Interest income (expense), net	$	—

(*)   We exclude the difference between the spot rate and hedge forward rate from our effectiveness testing.

We did not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as of June 29, 2013 or March 30, 2013. In fiscal 2014, the amount recognized as deferred tax for designated foreign currency was $0.7 million and the amount recognized as deferred tax for interest rate swap hedges was $0.9 million.

ASC Topic 815 requires all derivative instruments to be recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. We determine the fair value of our derivative instruments using the framework prescribed by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, by considering the estimated amount we would receive or pay to sell or transfer these instruments at the reporting date and by taking into account current interest rates, currency exchange rates, current interest rate curves, interest rate volatilities, the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets, and our creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, we may utilize financial models to measure fair value. Generally, we use inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. As of June 29, 2013, we have classified our derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC Topic 815, as discussed below, because these observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of our derivative instruments.

The following tables present the fair value of our derivative instruments as they appear in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 29, 2013 by type of contract and whether it is a qualifying hedge under ASC Topic 815.

Other Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, for the three months ended June 29, 2013, we applied the requirements under ASC Topic 820 to our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. As we did not have an impairment of any non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities, there was no disclosure required relating to our non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities.

On a recurring basis, we measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value, including our money market funds, foreign currency hedge contracts, and contingent consideration. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We base fair value upon quoted market prices, where available. Where quoted market prices or other observable inputs are not available, we apply valuation techniques to estimate fair value.

ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

• Level 1 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are other observable inputs, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities and market-corroborated inputs.

• Level 3 — Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based on management’s best estimate of inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.

Our money market funds carried at fair value are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

Fair Value Measured on a Recurring Basis

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the following as of June 29, 2013:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment Definition Criteria

We manage our business on the basis of one operating segment: the design, manufacture, and marketing of blood management solutions. Our chief operating decision-maker uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions. Manufacturing processes, as well as the regulatory environment in which we operate, are largely the same for all product categories.

Enterprise-Wide Disclosures about Product and Services

We have four global product families: plasma, blood center, hospital, and software solutions.

Our products include whole blood disposables, equipment devices and the related disposables used with these devices. Disposables include part of plasma, blood center, and hospital product families. Plasma consists of the disposables used to perform apheresis for the separation of whole blood components and subsequent collection of plasma to be used as a raw material for biologically derived pharmaceuticals. Blood center consists of disposables which separate whole blood for the subsequent collection of platelets, plasma, red cells, or a combination of these components for transfusion to patients as well as disposables for manual whole blood collection. Hospital consists of surgical disposables (principally the Cell Saver^® autologous blood recovery system targeted to procedures that involve rapid, high volume blood loss such as cardiovascular surgeries and the cardioPAT^® cardiovascular perioperative autotransfusion system designed to remain with the patient following surgery to recover blood and the patient’s red cells to prepare them for reinfusion), the OrthoPAT^® orthopedic perioperative autotransfusion system designed to operate both during and after surgery to recover and wash the patient’s red cells to prepare them for reinfusion, and diagnostics products (principally the TEG^® Thrombelastograph^® hemostasis analyzer used to help assess a surgical patient’s hemostasis during and after surgery). Software solutions include information technology platforms that assist blood centers, plasma centers, and hospitals to more effectively manage regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 29, 2013 are not expected to have a material impact on financial position, results of operation or liquidity.

Standards Implemented

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-02"). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in a single note, any significant amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income in its entirety in the period, and the income statement line item affected by the reclassification. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. We adopted this guidance during the three months ended June 29, 2013.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This standard, which amends the guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, other than goodwill, provides companies with the option to first perform a qualitative assessment before performing the two-step quantitative impairment test. If the company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not to exceed its carrying amount, then the company would not need to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test. This standard does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. This standard becomes effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption allowed. We adopted this guidance as of June 29, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 has not had an impact on our financial statements.

Guidance to be Implemented

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date ("ASU 2013-04"). This guidance changes how an entity measures obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements by requiring that when measuring the obligation, an entity will include the amount the entity agreed to pay for the arrangement between the entity and other entities that are also obligated to the liability, and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of the other entities. ASU 2013-04 also requires additional disclosures surrounding such obligations. ASU 2013-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is required to be applied retrospectively. We expect to adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2014. We have not completed our evaluation of the impact of this provision on our financial reporting.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are presently engaged in various legal actions, and although ultimate liability cannot be determined at the present time, we believe, based on consultation with counsel, that any such liability will not materially affect our consolidated financial position or our results of operations.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we issued a field action letter to blood center customers requesting visual inspection of a component of certain whole blood collection sets, due to the potential for a leak to occur at a very low frequency.  The component, referred to as a Y connector, was supplied by a contract manufacturer. As of June 29, 2013, we have an inventory reserve of $7.3 million for removal of affected whole blood collection sets for destruction or rework.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Schedule of Earnings Per Share Reconciliation

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS includes the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. The common stock weighted average number of shares has been retroactively adjusted for the stock split that occurred on November 30, 2012.
