NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(all tabular amounts in millions, except number of shares which are reflected in thousands and per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic” or the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 28, 2013 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2013. In the opinion of management, the financial statements and notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending September 27, 2014.

Subsequent Events Consideration

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized subsequent events recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014.

(2) Fair Value Measurements

Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company has an equity investment in a publicly-traded company and mutual funds, both of which are valued using quoted market prices, representing Level 1 assets. The Company has a payment obligation to the participants under its Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”). This liability is recorded at fair value based on the underlying value of certain hypothetical investments under the DCP as designated by each participant for their benefit. Since the value of the DCP obligation is based on market prices, the liability is classified within Level 1. In addition, in fiscal 2013, the Company had contingent consideration liabilities related to its acquisitions that were recorded at fair value and were based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 5(a)).

7

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following at June 28, 2014:

			Fair Value at Reporting Date Using
	Balance as of June 28, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Market for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Marketable securities:
Equity security	$	20.0	$	20.0	$	—	$	—
Mutual funds	18.3		18.3		—		—
Total	$	38.3	$	38.3	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:
Deferred compensation liabilities	$	36.0	$	36.0	$	—	$	—
Contingent consideration	3.1		—		—		3.1
Total	$	39.1	$	36.0	$	—	$	3.1

Changes in the fair value of recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which solely consisted of contingent consideration liabilities, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	3.4		$	3.6		$	3.8		$	86.4
Contingent consideration recorded at acquisition	—			0.5			—			0.5
Fair value adjustments	—			0.5			—			11.3
Payments	(0.3		)	(0.1		)	(0.7		)	(93.7		)
Balance at end of period	$	3.1		$	4.5		$	3.1		$	4.5

The contingent consideration liability at June 28, 2014 is related to the Company’s acquisition of Interlace Medical, Inc. (“Interlace”) and represents the remaining amounts withheld from payments made to the former stockholders of Interlace for legal indemnification provisions. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Interlace contingent liability was no longer being remeasured as the final measurement period lapsed. The withheld amount is being used to pay qualifying legal expenses in connection with the Company's litigation with Smith & Nephew, Inc. (“Smith & Nephew”) (see Note 5(b)).

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company remeasures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities upon the occurrence of certain events. Such assets are comprised of cost-method equity investments and long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company evaluated its MRI breast coils product line asset group, which is within its Breast Health segment, for impairment due to the Company’s expectation that it will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by this asset group over its estimated remaining useful life were not sufficient to recover its carrying value. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset group using market participant assumptions, which were based on underlying cash flow estimates, resulting in an impairment charge of $28.6 million. Pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment-Other, subtopic 10-35-28, the impairment charge was allocated to the long-lived assets, with $27.1 million to intangible assets and $1.5 million to property and equipment. The property and equipment charge was recorded to cost of product revenues and general and administrative expenses in the amounts of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of this asset group is subject to change and additional charges may be recorded in the future. The Company believes this adjustment falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

8

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $3.1 million impairment charge to record certain of its buildings at fair value related to the shutdown of the Hitec organic photoconductor manufacturing line (see Note 3). The Company believes this adjustment falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company holds certain cost-method equity investments in non-publicly traded securities aggregating $5.2 million and $12.6 million at June 28, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, which are included in other long-term assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are generally carried at cost, less any write-downs for other-than-temporary impairment charges. To determine the fair value of these investments, the Company uses all available financial information related to the entities, including information based on recent or pending third-party equity investments in these entities. In certain instances, a cost method investment’s fair value is not estimated as there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and to do so would be impractical. For the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $3.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively, related to its cost-method equity investments. For the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $4.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively, related to these investments.

The following chart depicts the level of inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to estimate the fair value of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis for which the Company has recorded impairment charges to date in fiscal 2014:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Market for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Losses
Fiscal 2014:
Intangible assets	$	18.3	—	—	$	18.3	$	(27.1	)
Property and equipment	1.0		—	—	1.0		(1.5		)
Buildings	1.4		—	—	1.4		(3.1		)
Cost-method equity investments	0.8		—	—	0.8		(6.9		)
							$	(38.6	)

Refer to Note 4 for disclosure of the nonrecurring fair value measurement related to the debt extinguishment losses recorded in the second quarter of each of fiscal 2014 and 2013. Refer to Note 13 for the disclosure of the nonrecurring fair value measurement related to the intangible asset impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, cost-method equity investments, insurance contracts, DCP liability, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of the insurance contracts are recorded at the cash surrender value, as required by U.S. GAAP, which approximates fair value, and the related DCP liability is recorded at fair value. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its cost-method equity investments approximate fair value.

Amounts outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement of $2.06 billion aggregate principal are subject to variable rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, the Company believes the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The Company’s Senior Notes had a fair value of approximately $1.06 billion as of June 28, 2014 based on their trading price, representing a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes is based on the trading prices of the respective notes and represents a Level 1 measurement. Refer to Note 4 for the carrying amounts of the various components of the Company’s debt.

9

The estimated fair values of the Company’s Convertible Notes at June 28, 2014 were as follows:

2010 Notes	$	566.4
2012 Notes	548.6
2013 Notes	408.9
	$	1,523.9

(3) Restructuring and Divestiture Charges

Consolidation of Diagnostics Operations

In connection with its acquisition of Gen-Probe Incorporated (“Gen-Probe”), the Company implemented restructuring actions to consolidate its Diagnostics operations, including streamlining product development initiatives, reducing overlapping functional areas in sales, marketing and general and administrative functions, and consolidating manufacturing resources, field services and support. As a result, the Company terminated certain employees from Gen-Probe and its legacy diagnostics business in research and development, sales, marketing, and general and administrative functions. The Company recorded severance and benefit charges in fiscal 2012 of $13.3 million related to this action pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420). The majority of these employees ceased working in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, and their full severance charge was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition, certain of the terminated Gen-Probe employees had unvested stock options, which were accelerated at termination pursuant to the stock options’ original terms. As such, the severance charges in fiscal 2012 include $3.5 million of stock-based compensation expense. In fiscal 2013, the Company recorded $10.8 million of severance charges, including $6.3 million for stock-based compensation. Included in these charges was $9.7 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to the termination of certain Gen-Probe executives, including Carl Hull, Gen-Probe’s former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The charge was for the acceleration of certain retention payments and equity awards pursuant to the original terms of the related agreements. The Company recorded $0.3 million and $10.8 million of severance charges in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013, respectively. No additional charges were recorded in fiscal 2014 under this portion of the action.

In addition, the Company is in the process of moving its legacy molecular diagnostics operations from Madison, Wisconsin to Gen-Probe’s facilities in San Diego, California. This transfer is expected to be finalized by the end of fiscal 2014 and, as a result, many of the employees in Madison have been terminated. The Company is recording severance and benefit charges pursuant to ASC 420 and estimates the total severance and benefits charges to be approximately $7.1 million, which is being recorded ratably over the estimated service period of the affected employees. The Company recorded $0.6 million and $2.3 million in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, and $0.8 million and $2.6 million in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013, respectively.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company implemented a cost reduction initiative comprised of reducing headcount and evaluating research projects and operating costs. In connection with this plan, the Company terminated certain employees on a worldwide basis. The Company primarily recorded severance and benefit charges pursuant to ASC 420, and the total severance and benefits charge related to this plan was $5.4 million.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.1 million to record certain buildings at this location to their estimated fair value.

Consolidation of Selenium Panel Coating Production

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company finalized its decision to consolidate its Selenium panel coating process and transfer the production line to its Newark, Delaware facility from its Hitec-Imaging German subsidiary.

For the year ended September 28, 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $0.3 million related to the disposition of certain other assets held-for-sale.

(4) Borrowings and Credit Arrangements

The Company’s borrowings consisted of the following:

	June 28, 2014		September 28, 2013
Current debt obligations, net of debt discount:
Term Loan A	$	87.1	$	49.7
Term Loan B	14.9		114.0
Convertible Notes	—		400.1
Total current debt obligations	102.0		563.8
Long-term debt obligations, net of debt discount:
Term Loan A	821.2		894.8
Term Loan B	1,124.3		1,159.3
Senior Notes	1,000.0		1,000.0
Convertible Notes	1,223.0		1,188.0
Total long-term debt obligations	4,168.5		4,242.1
Total debt obligations	$	4,270.5	$	4,805.9

Credit Agreement

On October 31, 2013, the Company voluntarily pre-paid $100.0 million of its Term Loan B facility, which was reflected in current debt obligations as of September 28, 2013. Pursuant to ASC 470, Debt (ASC 470), the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to write-off the pro-rata amount of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs related to this voluntary prepayment.

On February 26, 2014, the Company, the Guarantors, Goldman Sachs, and the Lenders entered into Refinancing Amendment No. 3 to the credit and guaranty agreement among the parties (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Refinancing Amendment No. 3 refinanced the Company’s existing senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the “Existing Term Loan B”) with a new senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the “New Term Loan B”) with an issue price of 99.875% of the principal amount of the Existing Term Loan B (subject also to the prepayment referenced below). This amendment resulted in a 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate on the New Term Loan B. Amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan B bear interest, at the Company’s option: (a) at the Base Rate, with a floor of 1.75%, plus 1.50% per annum, or (b) at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (i.e., the Libor rate), with a floor of 0.75%, plus 2.50% per annum. In addition, the Company voluntarily prepaid $25.0 million of the New Term Loan B.

Pursuant to ASC 470, the accounting for this refinancing is required to be evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis to determine whether each transaction should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. Certain creditors under the Credit Agreement did not participate in this refinancing transaction and ceased being creditors of the Company, and certain creditors reduced their positions. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to write-off the pro-rata amount of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs related to these creditors. For the remainder of the creditors, this transaction has been accounted for as a modification because the present value of the cash flows on a creditor-by-creditor basis between the two debt instruments was less than 10%. Pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40, third-party costs of $1.0 million related to this transaction were expensed.

Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 had weighted-average interest rates of 2.76% and 2.93%, respectively. The interest rates on the outstanding Term Loan A and Term Loan B borrowings at June 28, 2014 were 2.15% and 3.25%, respectively. Interest expense under the Credit Agreement totaled $17.9 million and $57.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, which includes non-cash interest expense of $3.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively, related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs and accretion of the debt discount. Interest expense totaled $26.1 million and $84.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, which includes non-cash interest expense of $3.4 million and $11.2 million related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs and accretion of the debt discount.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company executed Refinancing Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement which reduced the interest rate on the Term Loan A facility. Consistent with the accounting treatment noted above for Refinancing Amendment No. 3, in connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $3.2 million and expensed $2.4 million of third-party costs to interest expense.

Senior Notes

The Company’s 6.25% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) mature on August 1, 2020 and bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2013. The Company recorded interest expense of $16.0 million and $48.0 million in both the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, which includes non-cash interest expense of $0.4 million and $1.2 million in both the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs.

Convertible Notes

On November 14, 2013, the Company announced that it had issued a notice of redemption to the holders of its 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (“2007 Notes”) to redeem any 2007 Notes outstanding on December 18, 2013 at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the 2007 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, December 18, 2013. Holders of the 2007 Notes also had the option of putting the 2007 Notes to the Company as of December 13, 2013. The 2007 Notes were redeemed at their par value aggregating $405.0 million. Under ASC 470, the derecognition of the 2007 Notes did not result in a gain or loss as the fair value of the liability component of the 2007 Notes was determined to be equal to the consideration paid to redeem the 2007 Notes, and as a result, no value was allocated to the reacquisition of the conversion option.

14

Interest expense under the Convertible Notes is as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

(5) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Contingent Earn-Out Payments

In connection with certain of its acquisitions, the Company incurred obligations to make contingent earn-out payments tied to performance criteria, principally revenue growth of the acquired businesses over a specified period.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made its final contingent consideration payment of $16.8 million to the former shareholders of Adiana, Inc., which was net of amounts withheld for qualifying legal costs, and its final contingent consideration payment of $3.4 million to the former shareholders of Sentinelle Medical Inc.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Interlace in fiscal 2011, the Company had an obligation to the former Interlace stockholders to make contingent payments over a two-year period. Pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company recorded its estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability based on future revenue projections of the Interlace business. The final measurement period ended during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, resulting in a contingent consideration liability of $93.8 million. Of this amount, $86.9 million was paid to the former Interlace stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The remainder was withheld for legal indemnification provisions and is being used to pay qualifying legal expenses. At June 28, 2014, the Company had accrued $3.1 million.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of TCT International Co., Ltd. (“TCT”) in June 2011, the Company had an obligation to certain of the former TCT shareholders, based on future employment, to make contingent payments over a two year period provided certain revenue milestones were met. These earnouts were recorded as compensation expense ratably over the required service periods. The second and final earn-out period was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, and the Company paid $87.4 million of this earn-out in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The remaining $31.1 million of this earn-out was paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

There was no contingent consideration expense recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. A summary of amounts recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

Statement of Operations Line Item – 3 Months Ended June 29, 2013	Interlace		TCT		Total

	$	11.3	$	80.5	$	91.8

(b) Litigation and Related Matters

On June 9, 2010, Smith & Nephew filed suit against Interlace, which the Company acquired on January 6, 2011, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that the Interlace MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal device infringed U.S. patent 7,226,459. On November 22, 2011, Smith & Nephew filed suit against the

15

Company in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that use of the MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal system infringed U.S. patent 8,061,359. Both complaints sought permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. On September 4, 2012, following a two week trial, the jury returned a verdict of infringement of both the ‘459 and ‘359 patents and assessed damages of $4.0 million. A bench trial regarding the Company’s assertion of inequitable conduct on the part of Smith & Nephew with regard to the ‘359 patent was held on December 9, 2012 and oral arguments on the issue of inequitable conduct were presented on February 27, 2013. On June 27, 2013, the Court denied the Company’s motions related to inequitable conduct and allowed Smith & Nephew’s request for injunction, but ordered that enforcement of the injunction be stayed until final resolution, including appeal, of the current re-examinations of both patents at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The Court also rejected the jury’s damage award and ordered the parties to identify a mechanism for resolving the damages issue. On September 12, 2013, a status conference was held, and the Court invited the parties to submit briefs on the relevance of recent activity in the re-examinations at the USPTO. A hearing on this topic was held on October 29, 2013, and the parties are awaiting the Court’s ruling. The Company intends to file post-trial motions seeking to reverse the jury’s verdict. On January 14, 2014, the USPTO issued a final decision that the claims of the ‘459 patent asserted as part of the litigation are not patentable. On February 13, 2014, Smith & Nephew appealed this decision to the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The re-examination of the ‘359 patent is on-going. It is expected that patentability decisions made by the USPTO for both patents will proceed to appeal. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.

On March 6, 2012, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (“Enzo”) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleged that certain of the Company’s molecular diagnostics products, including without limitation products based on its proprietary Invader chemistry, such as Cervista HPV HR and Cervista HPV 16/18, infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The Company was formally served with the complaint on July 3, 2012, and a trial is tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2015. In January 2012, Enzo filed suit against Gen-Probe in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The Gen-Probe complaint alleged that certain of Gen-Probe’s diagnostics products, including products that incorporate Gen-Probe’s patented hybridization protection assay technology, such as the Aptima Combo 2 and Aptima HPV assays, infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180. On September 30, 2013, Enzo amended its list of accused products to include Prodesse, MilliPROBE, PACE and Procleix assays. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. Enzo has asserted the ‘180 patent claims against six other companies. The defendant companies are jointly arguing issues related to claim construction, and the trials are tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall of 2015. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.

On October 29, 2013, the Interlace stockholder representatives filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging breach of contract for issues related to the payment of contingent consideration under the Interlace acquisition agreement, and are seeking $14.7 million in additional payments. The Company believes that Interlace has been paid all amounts due under the acquisition agreement and that the claims are without merit. The Company is currently undergoing discovery. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or range of estimates, of potential losses.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that except for those described above there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it of which the ultimate resolution would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

(6) Sale of Makena

In fiscal 2008, the Company sold the rights of its Makena (formerly Gestiva) pharmaceutical product to K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) upon FDA approval of the then pending Makena new drug application. The Company executed certain amendments to this agreement that resulted in an increase in the total sales price to $199.5 million and a change in the timing of when payments were due to the Company. On February 3, 2011, the Company received FDA approval of Makena, and all rights to Makena were transferred to KV. The Company had received scheduled payments as required under the agreement until August 2012 when KV and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court. At that time, additional payments were still owed to the Company, and in December 2012 the Company and KV executed a settlement agreement, which released KV from all claims in consideration of a $60.0 million payment. The Company recorded this amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, net of certain costs, resulting in a gain of $53.9 million. The Company will receive no further payments from KV.

(7) Marketable Securities

The following reconciles the cost basis to the fair market value of the Company’s equity security that is classified as available-for-sale:

Period Ended:	Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses		Fair Value
June 28, 2014	$	5.9	$	14.1	$	—	$	20.0
September 28, 2013	$	5.9	$	12.2	$	—	$	18.1

(8) Net Income (Loss) Per Share

A reconciliation of basic and diluted share amounts is as follows:

	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014	June 29, 2013	June 28, 2014	June 29, 2013
Basic weighted average common shares outstanding	276,843	269,430	274,713	267,983
Weighted average common stock equivalents from assumed exercise of stock options and restricted stock units	2,130	—	—	—
Incremental shares from assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes premium	232	—	—	—
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding	279,205	269,430	274,713	267,983
Weighted-average anti-dilutive shares related to:
Outstanding stock options	4,727	7,964	7,007	8,724
Restricted stock units	21	1,147	811	1,089

As more fully discussed in Note 4, the Company has outstanding Convertible Notes. The Company’s policy is to net share settle its Convertible Notes, and any conversion premium, at the Company’s option, may be satisfied by issuing shares of

16

common stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash. As such, dilution related to the conversion premium on the 2010 Notes is included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Except for the three months ended June 28, 2014, shares potentially issuable for the conversion premium of the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company granted approximately 2.4 million and 2.3 million stock options during the nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, with weighted-average exercise prices of $21.92 and $19.95, respectively. There were 9.9 million options outstanding at June 28, 2014 with a weighted-average exercise price of $20.31.

The Company uses a binomial model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The weighted-average assumptions utilized to value these stock options are indicated in the following table:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Risk-free interest rate	1.3		%	0.5		%	1.2		%	0.5		%
Expected volatility	41.4		%	43.7		%	41.4		%	43.7		%
Expected life (in years)	4.5			4.4			4.4			4.4
Dividend yield	—			—			—			—
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	7.97		$	7.47		$	7.64		$	7.09

The Company granted approximately 2.4 million and 2.0 million restricted stock units (RSUs) during the nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $21.97 and $19.86, respectively. As of June 28, 2014, there were 4.2 million unvested RSUs outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $20.61. The Company granted approximately 0.4 million performance stock units (PSUs) in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to members of its senior management team, which have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $21.77. Each recipient of the PSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of three years provided the Company’s defined Return on Invested Capital metrics are achieved. The Company is recognizing compensation expense ratably over the required service period based on its estimate that it is probable the targeted number of shares will vest. If there is a change in the estimate of the number of shares that are probable of vesting, the Company will cumulatively adjust compensation expense in the period that the change in estimate is made.

In connection with appointing its new President and Chief Executive Officer in December 2013, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million market stock units (MSUs). The MSUs vest in three separate tranches in an amount of 1/3rd of the total amount of the award based on the Company’s stock price meeting certain defined average stock prices for 30 consecutive trading days. These MSUs were valued at an average of $18.65 using the Monte Carlo simulation model and each tranche has its own derived service period. The Company is recognizing compensation expense under the accelerated method as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). In addition, per the terms of his employment agreement, the Company granted 0.2 million RSUs to match Mr. MacMillan’s purchase of 0.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The RSUs cliff vest three years from the date of grant, and the

17

Company is accounting for this grant as a liability award pursuant to ASC 718 because this RSU award contains an additional vesting condition (the requirement that Mr. MacMillan retain the matching shares during the vesting period) that is not service, performance or market based.

At June 28, 2014, there was $26.9 million and $72.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and stock units (comprised of RSUs, MSUs and PSUs), respectively, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years and 2.8 years, respectively.

(11) Business Segments and Geographic Information

The Company has four reportable segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. Certain reportable segments represent an aggregation of operating units within each segment. The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on segment revenues and operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash charges, such as intangible asset amortization expense, intangible asset and goodwill impairment charges, contingent consideration charges, acquisition related fair value adjustments and integration expenses, restructuring and divestiture charges and other one-time or unusual items and related tax effects.

18

Identifiable assets for the four principal operating segments consist of inventories, intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment. The Company fully allocates depreciation expense to its four reportable segments. The Company has presented all other identifiable assets as corporate assets. There were no intersegment revenues during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. Segment information is as follows:

The Company operates in the following major geographic areas as noted in the below chart. Revenue data is based upon customer location. Other than the United States, no single country accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues. The Company’s sales in Europe are predominantly derived from France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The Company’s sales in Asia-Pacific are predominantly derived from China, Australia and Japan. The “All others” designation includes Canada, Latin America and the Middle East.

Revenues by geography as a percentage of total revenues were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

(12) Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period. If, however, the entity is unable to reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate, then the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date may be the best annual effective tax rate estimate. For the nine months ended June 29, 2013, the Company determined that it was unable to make a reliable annual effective tax rate estimate due to the rate sensitivity as it related to its forecasted fiscal 2013 results. Therefore, the Company recorded a tax benefit for the nine months ended June 29, 2013 based on the effective rate for the nine months ended June 29, 2013.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014 was 50.0% and 214.2%, respectively, compared to a provision of 58.2% and a benefit of 33.0%, respectively, on pre-tax losses for the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the current three and nine month periods, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses. For the three months ended June 29, 2013, the tax rate was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible contingent consideration expense related to the TCT acquisition and unbenefited foreign losses, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction. For the nine months endedJune 29, 2013, the tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a $19.6 million valuation allowance release related to capital losses which were utilized to offset capital gains generated during the year, partially offset by non-deductible contingent consideration expense related to the TCT and Interlace acquisitions and unbenefited losses.

(13) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

A rollforward of goodwill activity by reportable segment from September 28, 2013 to June 28, 2014 is as follows:

The Company recorded impairment charges of $26.6 million and $0.5 million to developed technology and trade names, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. In addition, the Company periodically re-evaluates the lives of its definite-lived intangible assets, and in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 shortened the life of certain corporate trade names, which will be phased out. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company shortened the life of certain intangible assets associated with the MRI breast coils product line.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company determined that a developed technology asset was impaired and recorded a $1.7 million charge to cost of product revenues to record the asset at its estimated fair value.

The estimated remaining amortization expense as of June 28, 2014 for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

Remainder of Fiscal 2014	$	109.5

(15) Stockholder Rights Plan

On June 24, 2014, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated as of November 21, 2013, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent. The Amendment accelerated the expiration of the Company’s preferred share purchase rights (the “Rights”) from November 20, 2014 to June 24, 2014, and had the effect of terminating the Rights Agreement on that date. At the time of the termination of the Rights Agreement, all of the Rights distributed to holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Rights Agreement expired.

(16) New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 660), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU is applicable to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current US GAAP. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which is fiscal 2018 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift in operations, such as a disposal of a major line of business or geographic area, that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results should be reported as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The implementation of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

OVERVIEW

We are a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostics products, medical imaging systems and surgical products with an emphasis on serving the healthcare needs of women. Our core business units are focused on diagnostics, breast health, GYN surgical and skeletal health. We sell and service our products through a combination of direct sales and service forces and a network of independent distributors and sales representatives.

32

We offer a wide range of diagnostic products which are used primarily to aid in the diagnosis of human diseases and screen donated human blood. Our molecular diagnostic products include our Aptima family of assays based on our Transcription-Mediated-Amplification, or TMA, technology, our Cervista products based on our proprietary Invader chemistry and our advanced instrumentation (Panther and Tigris). The Aptima family of assays is used to detect the infectious microorganisms that cause the common sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, chlamydia and gonorrhea, certain high-risk strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, and Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite that causes trichomoniasis. Our Invader chemistry is comprised of molecular diagnostic reagents used for a variety of DNA and RNA analysis applications, including our Cervista HPV high risk, or HR, and Cervista HPV 16/18 products to assist in the diagnosis of HPV, as well as other products to diagnose cystic fibrosis, cardiovascular risk and other diseases. Our diagnostics products also include the ThinPrep System, which is primarily used in cytology applications such as cervical cancer screening, and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test, which assists physicians in assessing the risk of pre-term birth. In blood screening, we develop and manufacture the Procleix family of assays, which are used to detect Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, the Hepatitis C Virus, or HCV, the Hepatitis B Virus, or HBV, the West Nile Virus, or WNV, the Hepatitis A Virus, or HAV, and Parvovirus, in donated human blood. These blood screening products are marketed worldwide by our blood screening collaborator, Grifols, S.A., or Grifols, under Grifols’ trademarks. In January 2014, Grifols completed its acquisition of the blood screening business of Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics, Inc.

Our breast health products include a broad portfolio of breast imaging and related products and accessories, including digital and film-based mammography systems, magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, breast coils, computer-aided detection, or CAD, for mammography and minimally invasive breast biopsy devices, breast biopsy site markers, breast biopsy guidance systems, breast imaging comfort pads, and breast brachytherapy products. Our most advanced breast imaging platform, Dimensions, utilizes a technology called tomosynthesis to produce 3D images, as well as conventional 2D full field digital mammography images.

Our GYN surgical products include our NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System, or NovaSure, and our MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System, or MyoSure. The NovaSure system involves a trans-cervical procedure for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. The MyoSure system is a tissue removal device that is designed to provide incision-less removal of fibroids and polyps within the uterus.

Our skeletal health products include dual-energy X-ray bone densitometry systems, an ultrasound-based osteoporosis assessment product, and our Fluoroscan mini C-arm imaging products.

Diagnostics product revenues decreased1.6% and 3.0% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to a reduction in ThinPrep revenues of $7.9 million and a reduction in blood screening revenues of $2.0 million principally due to the timing of contingent revenue. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our molecular diagnostics products of $8.5 million, primarily due to an increase in revenues from our Aptima family of assays. The decrease in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to a reduction in ThinPrep revenues of $27.5 million, a decrease of $23.1 million in Lifecodes revenue as a result of the divestiture of this product line in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, a reduction in Prodesse (principally flu testing assays) revenues of $6.3 million and lower perinatal revenues of $4.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our molecular diagnostics products of $20.3 million primarily due to an increase in revenues from our Aptima family of assays and an increase in blood screening revenues of $17.7 million.

We attribute the reduction in ThinPrep revenues in both periods primarily to lower domestic sales volumes resulting from an increase in screening intervals based on guidelines released in 2012 by the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists and the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force and lower average sales prices internationally, primarily in China where we have transitioned to selling more of our products through distributors. Prodesse revenues decreased in the current nine month period primarily due to a milder flu season this year compared to the corresponding period in the prior year and the recent introduction of competitive products. Our blood screening revenues increased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of contingent revenue under our blood screening collaboration that was not recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, and to a lesser extent the second quarter of fiscal 2013, due to unbilled accounts receivable being recorded as a fair value adjustment in purchase accounting. Under the collaboration, a portion of our blood screening revenue is contingent on donations testing revenue earned by our blood screening collaborator. As a result, amounts that were to be received for this contingent revenue related to inventory on hand and not yet utilized by Novartis’ (our blood screening collaborator at the time) customers as of the date we acquired Gen-Probe were recorded as unbilled accounts receivable on the balance sheet in purchase accounting, and these amounts were not recorded as revenue in our results of operations in fiscal 2013. The amount of this contingent revenue not recorded as revenue in the prior year nine month period was $23.5 million. This increase in blood screening revenues was partially offset by lower WNV assay sales compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2013 as last year had a higher incidence of the WNV resulting in higher donation testing in the prior year periods. The increase in revenues in the current three and nine month periods related to our Aptima family of assays was primarily due to increased volumes from our strategic alliance with Quest Diagnostics Incorporated, or Quest, entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, our increased installed base of Panther instruments, and increased sales volumes of our HPV screening assay, which was FDA approved for use on our Panther system in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. These increases were partially offset by slightly lower average sales prices for our Aptima products due to increased competitive pressures, and a reduction in Cervista HPV revenues as our larger customers transition to our Panther system and Aptima HPV assay.

Breast Health product revenues increased0.7% and 2.8% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. In the current three and nine month periods, our digital mammography systems revenue increased $1.1 million and $14.5 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the

34

increase in 3D Dimensions revenue of $9.1 million and $33.3 million, respectively, as we sold more units on a worldwide basis, and the international unit sales had slightly higher average selling prices. As expected, we continue to experience a decline in the number of 2D systems sold as customers transition to the 3D Dimensions systems, which is occurring primarily in the United States. We also experienced an increase in revenues for our workstation and related products of $2.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in the current year periods, which was primarily driven by our C-View product. In addition, our breast biopsy products revenue increased $2.2 million in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in the number of Eviva biopsy devices sold worldwide. The increases in the current three and nine month periods were partially offset by a decline in our analog mammography systems and MRI breast coils.

GYN Surgical product revenues increased3.6% in the current three month period and decreased 0.5% in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in MyoSure system sales of $5.1 million, partially offset by a decline in sales of NovaSure devices of $2.3 million. In the current nine month period, the decrease was primarily due to lower NovaSure device sales of $15.1 million partially offset by an increase in MyoSure system sales of $14.6 million. The MyoSure system continues to gain strong market acceptance as unit sales increase globally, partially offset by product mix. We experienced a decrease in the number of NovaSure devices sold in the United States, which we continue to believe is primarily attributable to patients delaying surgery or opting for lower cost and generally less effective alternatives, partially offset by higher international volume.

Skeletal Health product revenues increased1.9% in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year and decreased2.7% in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in our osteoporosis assessment product sales, namely our Horizon product, which was introduced in late fiscal 2013, and to a lesser extent our mini C-arm systems, partially offset by lower volumes of our older Discovery products and pricing pressures. The decrease in the current nine month period compared to the prior year corresponding period was primarily due to a reduction in unit sales of our Discovery products and pricing pressures, partially offset by higher Horizon unit sales.

Product revenues by geography as a percentage of total product sales were as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013
United States	74.4	%	74.4	%	73.5	%	73.1	%
Europe	13.0	%	13.5	%	14.5	%	14.0	%

All others	3.9	%	3.4	%	3.9	%	3.8	%
	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

The increase in product revenues in the United States as a percentage of consolidated product revenues in the nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was a result of lower total product revenue in China, primarily related to the decline in ThinPrep sales described above, which contributed to the decline in Asia-Pacific revenues as a percentage of consolidated revenues.

Service and other revenues are primarily comprised of revenue generated from our field service organization to provide ongoing service, installation and repair of our products. The majority of these revenues are generated within our Breast Health segment. Service and other revenues increased 7.4% and 5.6% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in the number of service contracts in our Breast Health

35

business driven by an increase in the installed base of our digital mammography systems, an increase in services not covered by service contracts and higher installation and training revenues related to our 3D Dimensions systems.

Product revenues gross margin remained relatively flat at 49.5% and 49.9% in the current quarter compared to the prior year corresponding period, respectively, and improved in the current nine month period to 48.1% from 46.4% in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Cost of Product Revenues. The cost of product revenues, excluding amortization and impairment of intangible assets, as a percentage of product revenues was 35.3% and 35.2% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 35.4% and 39.1% in the corresponding periods in the prior year. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues in the current three month period increased in Diagnostics and decreased in Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, resulting in an overall consistent rate. In the current nine month period, the cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues decreased in Diagnostics, Breast Health, and GYN Surgical and increased in Skeletal Health compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, resulting in an overall improved gross margin rate.

Diagnostics' product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in product revenue related to ThinPrep and Cervista HPV as described above coupled with the increase in Aptima assay sales at lower average selling prices compared to the prior year period. In addition, the reduction of blood screening contingent revenue has a direct impact on product costs as a percentage of revenue because when the contingent revenue is recorded there are no offsetting product costs. These increases were partially offset by favorable manufacturing variances across many of our products as production has increased, lower royalty costs for ThinPrep and lower molecular diagnostics instruments sales, which have very low gross margins. Diagnostics’ product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of $52.4 million in the prior nine month period of additional costs related to the sale of acquired inventory written up to fair value in purchase accounting for the Gen-Probe acquisition. In addition, we were able to recognize contingent revenue under the blood screening collaboration in the current nine month period that we were not able to recognize in the corresponding period in the prior year due to a purchase accounting adjustment as described above. Furthermore, we experienced favorable manufacturing variances across many of our products and lower royalty costs for ThinPrep, partially offset by unfavorable pricing on ThinPrep and Aptima sales and increased service costs for placed instruments.

Breast Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the increase in 3D Dimensions sales on both a unit basis and as a percentage of total digital mammography systems sales compared to our 2D systems. Our 3D Dimensions systems have higher average sales prices than our 2D systems resulting in higher gross margins. In addition, we had higher software related sales for 3D upgrades and our C-View product, which have higher gross margins than capital equipment sales. In the current three month period, we also experienced favorable manufacturing variances compared to the prior year period.

GYN Surgical’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increased utilization at our Costa Rica facility as a result of the transfer of our breast biopsy products from our Indianapolis, Indiana facility during fiscal 2013. In addition, we experienced favorable

36

manufacturing variances in the current year periods due to lower spend, partially offset by the impact of lower NovaSure sales volumes and higher MyoSure sales volumes.

Skeletal Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three month period primarily due to an increase in revenue for our Horizon product, which has a higher gross margin than our legacy Discovery products. Skeletal Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current nine month period primarily due to lower unit sales, unfavorable manufacturing variances and increased pricing pressure compared to the prior year period.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets relates to acquired developed technology and patents. These intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives of between 8.5 and 20 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. The economic pattern is based on undiscounted future cash flows. The increase in amortization expense in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to certain in-process research and development projects recorded as assets in the Gen-Probe acquisition receiving FDA approval in fiscal 2013. As a result, these approved projects are now being amortized. In addition, we adjusted the estimated life of the MRI breast coils developed technology assets in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 resulting in higher amortization expense.

Impairment of Intangible Assets. In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we evaluated our MRI breast coils product line asset group, which is within our Breast Health segment, for impairment due to our expectation that it will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by this asset group over its estimated remaining life were not sufficient to recover its carrying value. We have estimated the fair value of the asset group resulting in an aggregate impairment charge of $28.6 million, comprised of $27.1 million of intangible assets and $1.5 million of property and equipment. The impairment charge has been allocated to the long-lived assets, resulting in $26.6 million being allocated to developed technology. The estimated fair value of this asset group is subject to change and additional charges may be recorded in the future. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we determined that a developed technology asset was impaired, primarily due to our decision to cease selling and providing support for such product. As a result, we recorded a charge of $1.7 million to record the asset at its fair value.

Service and other revenues gross margin was 49.1% and 48.0% in the current three and nine month periods compared to 46.9% and 47.2% in the corresponding periods in the prior year. Within our Breast Health segment, the continued conversion of a high percentage of our domestic installed base of digital mammography systems to service contracts upon expiration of the warranty period without a corresponding increase in costs to service these contracts has resulted in higher gross margins. Partially offsetting this improvement were increased costs in our Diagnostics segment without a corresponding increase in other revenues.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 9.9% and 1.5% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation, additional program spend for our virology product line, including outside consulting costs, and increased clinical spending for our next generation breast biopsy products, partially offset by lower headcount, reductions to certain development programs, primarily in the GYN Surgical business as part of our cost containment measures implemented in fiscal 2013 and the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and lower integration costs related to the Gen-Probe acquisition. The increase in the current nine month period was partially offset by the divestiture of Lifecodes (in the second quarter of fiscal 2013), which contributed $4.2 million of expense in the prior year period. Research and development primarily reflects spending on new product development programs, regulatory compliance and clinical research and trials. At any point in time, we have a number of different research projects and clinical trials being conducted and the timing of these projects and related costs can vary from period to period.

Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses remained relatively flat and decreased 7.7% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. In the current quarter, selling and marketing expenses had higher commissions, increased spending on market research and costs associated with trade shows and meetings offset by lower compensation due to a reduction in headcount, a reduction in travel expenses and lower integration costs related to the Gen-Probe acquisition. The decrease in expenses in the current nine month period compared to the prior year corresponding period was primarily due to lower compensation as a result of headcount reductions and lower spend for certain marketing directives, such as trade shows, seminars, consulting services, and medical education, primarily as a result of our cost containment measures, a reduction in travel and lower integration costs related to the Gen-Probe acquisition. In addition, the nine month period ended June 29, 2013 included $4.6 million of expense related to Lifecodes.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased 6.9% and 8.3% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in certain non-income tax expenses, tax consulting fees, legal fees and credit card fees related to customer payments, partially offset by lower compensation and benefit costs due to lower headcount from our cost containment measures, and lower integration costs related to the Gen-Probe acquisition. The increase in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year includes legal and consulting fees of $4.7 million incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to assist us in our negotiatio

38

n and response to shareholder activism and an increase in the medical device excise tax of $4.5 million, partially offset by a reduction in travel expenses. In addition, the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a legal settlement benefit.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets results from customer relationships, trade names, business licenses and non-compete agreements related to our acquisitions. These intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives of between 2 and 30 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed utilizing expected undiscounted future cash flows. The increase in the current quarter compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to shortening the remaining life of certain corporate trade names as we decided to phase out their use during the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The slight decrease in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to lower amortization from intangibles acquired in the Cytyc, Inc. acquisition in fiscal 2008 as the pattern of economic benefits decreases, partially offset by accelerated amortization of corporate trade names.

Contingent Consideration—Compensation Expense. In connection with our acquisition of TCT International Co., Ltd., or TCT, we were obligated to make contingent earn-out payments. The payments were contingent on future employment and were also based on achieving certain incremental revenue growth milestones. The measurement period ended in fiscal 2013, and as such, there were no charges in fiscal 2014.

Contingent Consideration—Fair Value Adjustments. In connection with our acquisition of Interlace Medical, Inc., or Interlace, we were required to pay future consideration that was contingent on achieving certain revenue based milestones. As of the acquisition date, we recorded a contingent consideration liability for the estimated fair value of the amount we expected to pay to the former shareholders of Interlace. This liability was based on future revenue projections of the business under various potential scenarios and weighted probability assumptions of these outcomes. We recorded charges of $0.5 million and $11.3 million in the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2013, respectively, reflecting an increase in the fair value of the liability due to higher revenues from Interlace than originally estimated. The measurement period for this contingent consideration ended in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and as such, there were no charges in fiscal 2014.

Gain on Sale of Intellectual Property. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a net gain of $53.9 million related to the sale of our Makena asset to K-V Pharmaceutical Company, or KV. On August 4, 2012, KV and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. At that time, KV still owed us $95.0 million. In December 2012, we executed a settlement agreement with KV and released KV from all claims in consideration of a $60.0 million payment. We recorded this payment, net of certain costs, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. For additional information, please refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Restructuring and Divestiture Charges. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, in connection with our acquisition of Gen-Probe, we implemented a restructuring action to consolidate our Diagnostics operations by decreasing headcount and closing our legacy molecular diagnostics operations in Madison, Wisconsin. We also finalized our decision to transfer production of our interventional breast products from our Indianapolis facility to our Costa Rica facility. In fiscal 2013 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we implemented cost containment measures that primarily resulted in headcount reductions. In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2014, we terminated employees at our Warstein, Germany location, and as part of ongoing management changes, we terminated certain executives and employees. Pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the related severance and benefit charges are being recognized either ratably over the respective required employee service periods or up-front for contractual benefits, and other charges are being recognized as incurred. In the current three and nine month periods, we recorded aggregate charges of $6.7 million and $36.6 million, respectively, from these actions. The charges recorded in fiscal 2014 primarily related to severance and benefits, and the nine month period includes a $3.1 million impairment charge to record certain buildings at our Warstein, Germany location to their estimated fair value. In the three and nine month periods in the prior year, we recorded restructuring charges of $6.7 million and $23.1 million, respectively, primarily for severance and benefits. In addition, we recorded a net divestiture charge of $0.2 million and a net gain of $0.6 million in the three and nine month periods ended June 29, 2013, respectively, primarily related to the sale of our Lifecodes business in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. For additional information pertaining to restructuring actions and charges, please refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Interest expense consists primarily of the cash interest costs and the related amortization of the debt discount and deferred financing costs on our Convertible Notes, Senior Notes and amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement. The decrease in interest expense in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year was primarily due to principal payments in fiscal 2013 and 2014, which included $325.0 million of voluntary pre-payments, of amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement, lower weighted-average interest rates due to refinancing both the Term Loan A and Term Loan B facilities, and the redemption of $405.0 million in principal amount of our 2007 Notes in December 2013. These decreases were partially offset by additional interest expense from the accretion of principal on the 2013 Notes at 4.0% annually.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we refinanced our Term Loan B facility and voluntarily prepaid $25.0 million of principal. In connection with this transaction, we recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $4.4 million for the write off of the pro-rata share of the debt discount and deferred issuance costs. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we made a $100.0 million voluntary pre-payment on our Term Loan B facility. As a result, the pro-rata share of the debt discount and deferred issuance costs aggregating $2.9 million related to this prepayment was recorded as a debt extinguishment loss. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we refinanced our Term Loan A facility and recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $3.2 million for the write off of the pro-rata share of the debt discount and deferred issuance costs.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, this account was primarily comprised of an other-than-temporary impairment charge on a cost-method equity investment of $3.2 million, partially offset by gains of $1.3 million on the cash surrender value of life insurance contracts and mutual funds related to our deferred compensation plan. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, this account was primarily comprised of an other-than temporary impairment charge for a cost-method investment of $4.7 million and net foreign currency exchange losses of $0.5 million, partially offset by a $2.0 million gain on the sale of a cost-method investment, and $1.6 million from investment and insurance recoveries.

For the current nine month period, this account was primarily comprised of other-than-temporary impairment charges on cost-method equity investments of $6.9 million and net foreign currency exchange losses of $0.9 million, partially offset by gains of $4.1 million on the cash surrender value of life insurance contracts and mutual funds related to our deferred compensation plan. For the prior year nine month period, this account was primarily comprised of other-than temporary impairment charges for cost-method investments of $6.4 million and net foreign currency exchange losses of $0.3 million, partially offset by investment gains related to our deferred compensation plan investments of $2.7 million, a $2.0 million gain on the sale of a cost-method investment and $1.5 million from investment and insurance recoveries.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes	$	11.3	$	4.0	$	7.3	180.9	%	$	20.3	$	(29.1	)	$	49.4	(169.6	)%

Our effective tax rate for the current three and nine month periods was 50.0% and 214.2%, respectively, compared to a provision of 58.2% and a benefit of 33.0%, respectively, on pre-tax losses for the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the current three and nine month periods, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses. For the three month period ended June 29, 2013, the tax rate was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible contingent consideration expense related to the TCT acquisition and unbenefited foreign losses, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction. For the nine month period ended June 29, 2013, the tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a $19.6 million valuation allowance release related to capital losses which were utilized to offset capital gains generated during the year, partially offset by non-deductible contingent consideration expense related to the TCT and Interlace acquisitions and unbenefited losses.

Segment Results of Operations

We report our business as four segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We measure segment performance based on total revenues and operating income or loss. Revenues from product sales of each of these segments are described in further detail above. The discussion that follows is a summary analysis of total revenues and the primary changes in operating income or loss by segment.

Diagnostics revenues decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the decrease in product revenues discussed above.

Operating income for this business segment increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. Gross margin in absolute dollars decreased in the current quarter primarily due to lower ThinPrep volumes, slightly lower pricing on ThinPrep and Aptima sales, lower blood screening revenue and increased intangible asset amortization expense, partially offset by favorable manufacturing variances across many of our products as production has increased, lower royalty costs for ThinPrep and lower molecular diagnostics instrument sales. In the current nine month period, gross margin in absolute dollars increased primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year corresponding nine month period of fair value adjustments of $52.4 million for acquired Gen-Probe inventory that did not recur in the current year. In addition, we were able to record contingent revenue under our blood screening collaboration in the current year period that had previously been recorded as unbilled accounts receivable in purchase accounting as described above. Furthermore, we experienced favorable manufacturing variances across many of our products and lower royalty costs for ThinPrep, partially offset by lower ThinPrep volumes, slightly lower pricing on ThinPrep and Aptima sales, and increased intangible asset amortization expense. The gross margin rate declined to 45.2% in the current quarter compared to 47.8% in the corresponding period in the prior year and improved to 45.9% in the current nine month period from 41.8% in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Operating expenses decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. These decreases were primarily due to the inclusion in the prior year corresponding periods of $21.6 million and $80.5 million, respectively, of contingent consideration charges related to TCT, and lower restructuring charges, Gen-Probe integration costs and compensation expense from headcount reductions as part of our cost containment measures, partially offset by an increase in spending on research and development for our virology products and market research, and higher intangible asset amortization expense. In addition, the current nine month period expenses were lower due to the divestiture of Lifecodes, which contributed $9.4 million of operating expenses in the corresponding period in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in the medical device excise tax of $2.0 million. As discussed above, the prior year nine month period included a $53.9 million gain related to the settlement with KV for the sale of our rights to Makena.

Breast Health

	Three Months Ended										Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			Change				June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			Change

Total Revenues	$	238.0		$	230.0		$	8.0	3.5	%	$	703.2		$	671.0		$	32.2		4.8	%
Operating Income	$	58.4		$	53.2		$	5.2	9.7	%	$	128.0		$	146.0		$	(18.0	)	(12.3	)%
Operating Income as a % of Segment Revenue	24.5		%	23.1		%					18.2		%	21.8		%

Breast Health revenues increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the $1.1 million and $11.9 million increase in product revenues, respectively, discussed above, and the $6.9 million and $20.3 million increase in service revenues, respectively, that was substantially related to additional service contracts for the increased number of digital mammography systems in our installed base.

Operating income for this business segment increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in absolute gross margin dollars from higher revenue partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. The overall gross margin rate increased to 52.1% in the current quarter compared to 49.7% in the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in 3D Dimensions sales on both a unit basis and as a percentage of total digital mammography systems compared to our 2D systems and an increase in software related sales. Operating income for this business segment decreased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to higher operating expenses partially offset by an increase in gross margin in absolute dollars. Gross margin in absolute dollars increased primarily due to the increase in revenues and the favorable product mix between 3D Dimensions and our 2D systems consistent with the current quarter partially offset by the $26.6 million developed technology asset impairment charge discussed above and higher intangible asset amortization expense. As a result, the overall gross margin rate declined to 48.1% in the current nine month period compared to 49.4% in the corresponding period in the prior year.

42

Operating expenses increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher restructuring charges, which includes corporate allocated amounts, higher research and development expenditures primarily for next generation breast biopsy devices, higher corporate general and administrative allocations, partially offset by lower sales and marketing expenditures including lower spend on tomosynthesis awareness campaigns. In addition, the current nine month period had an increase in the medical device excise tax of $2.1 million and intangible asset and property impairment charges aggregating $1.8 million.

GYN Surgical

GYN Surgical revenues increased in the current three month period and decreased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year due to the change in product revenues discussed above.

Operating income for this business segment increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. In the current quarter, the improvement was primarily due to an increase in gross margin in absolute dollars, primarily due to higher revenues and lower manufacturing costs, and slightly lower operating expenses. The gross margin rate improved to 57.3% in the current quarter from 56.8% in the prior year corresponding period. In the current nine month period, the improvement was primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses while gross margin in absolute dollars was relatively flat as revenues were consistent year over year. The gross margin rate was relatively flat at 57.5% in the current nine month period compared to 57.3% in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Operating expenses declined in the current quarter primarily due to lower research and development program expenditures, lower headcount in sales and research and development from our cost containment measures and lower intangible asset amortization expense, partially offset by an increase in costs associated with international sales initiatives and market research. Operating expenses declined in the current nine month period primarily due to the $11.3 million of contingent consideration charges related to the Interlace earn-out included in the prior year period. Additional reductions in operating expenses were primarily due to headcount reductions, lower research and development program expenditures and lower marketing related expenditures, all as a result of our cost containment measures, and lower intangible asset amortization expense.

Skeletal Health

Operating Income as a % of Segment Revenue	17.0		%	12.1		%					11.9		%	12.4		%

Skeletal Health revenues remained relatively flat in the current three month period and decreased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the changes in product revenues discussed above.

Operating income increased in the current quarter primarily due to the increase in gross margin in absolute dollars as a result of higher sales of our higher margin Horizon product, while operating expenses remained relatively flat. Operating income in the current nine month period decreased primarily due to a decrease in gross margin in absolute dollars as a result of lower revenues and

43

a slight increase in operating expenses. The gross margin rate increased to 48.7% and 45.1% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, from 45.0% and 44.5% in the corresponding periods in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 28, 2014, we had $834.5 million of working capital, and our cash and cash equivalents totaled $632.5 million. Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $190.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily due to debt principal payments and capital expenditures, partially offset by operating cash flows and proceeds from the exercise of stock options granted pursuant to our employee benefit programs.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, our operating activities provided us with $376.7 million of cash, which included a net loss of $10.8 million, offset primarily by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization aggregating $391.8 million, non-cash interest expense of $52.2 million related to our outstanding debt, stock-based compensation expense of $39.1 million, asset impairment charges of $33.3 million, and debt extinguishment losses of $7.4 million. These adjustments to net loss were partially offset by a decrease in net deferred tax liabilities of $204.6 million, primarily from the amortization of intangible assets. Cash provided by operations included a net cash inflow of $62.9 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities were driven primarily by a decrease in prepaid income taxes of $34.4 million due to the utilization thereof to fund our tax liability, a decrease in accounts receivable of $28.4 million due to improved collections, an increase in accrued expenses of $16.1 million primarily due to a net increase in bonus and benefits accruals, restructuring and interest on our debt based on the timing of payments, partially offset by the payment of contingent consideration of $31.1 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $13.8 million primarily based on the timing of insurance and maintenance contract renewals, and an increase in deferred revenue of $10.7 million primarily due to an increase in our installed base of digital mammography systems. These inflows were partially offset by an increase in inventory of $42.2 million for expected demand and to build up our safety stock of instruments and assays primarily in our Diagnostics business.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, our investing activities utilized $51.9 million of cash primarily for capital expenditures of $57.8 million, which consisted primarily of the placement of equipment under customer usage agreements and purchases of manufacturing equipment and computer hardware, partially offset by net sales of mutual funds and insurance contracts of $6.5 million to pay participant withdrawals from our deferred compensation plan due to employee terminations.

In the first nine months of fiscal 2014, our financing activities used cash of $514.4 million primarily due to $578.8 million in debt principal payments comprised of $405.0 million to pay off our 2007 Notes and $173.8 million under our Credit Agreement, and $9.2 million for employee-related taxes withheld for the net share settlement of vested restricted stock units. Partially offsetting these uses of cash were proceeds of $75.8 million from our equity plans, primarily from the exercise of stock options.

Debt

We had total recorded debt outstanding of $4.27 billion at June 28, 2014, which is comprised of amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement of $2.05 billion (principal $2.06 billion), Senior Notes of $1.00 billion and Convertible Notes of $1.22 billion (principal $1.32 billion).

Credit Agreement

Concurrent with closing the Gen-Probe acquisition on August 1, 2012, we and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, or the Guarantors, entered into a credit and guaranty agreement, or the Credit Agreement, with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement was amended in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, resulting in a 100 basis point reduction to the interest rate on the Term Loan A facility and the Revolving Facility. On August 2, 2013, the Credit Agreement was further amended resulting in a 75 basis point reduction to the interest rate on the Term Loan B facility. On February 26, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended for the third time resulting in a further 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate on the Term Loan B facility.

The facilities under the Credit Agreement initially consisted of:

• $1.0 billion senior secured tranche A term loan, or Term Loan A, with a final maturity date of August 1, 2017;

• $1.5 billion secured tranche B term loan, or Term Loan B, with a final maturity date of August 1, 2019; and

• $300.0 million secured revolving credit facility, or Revolving Facility, with a final maturity date of August 1, 2017.

44

The credit facilities are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Guarantors, including all of the capital stock of substantially all of the U.S. subsidiaries owned by us and the Guarantors, 65% of the capital stock of certain of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries and all intercompany debt.

We are required to make scheduled principal payments under the Term Loan A facility in increasing amounts ranging from $12.5 million per three month period beginning October 31, 2012 to $50.0 million per three month period commencing October 31, 2015, and under the Term Loan B facility in equal installments of $3.75 million per three month period beginning on October 31, 2012 and for 27 three month periods thereafter. The remaining balance of $400 million for Term Loan A and $1.07 billion for Term Loan B is due at maturity. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility are due at maturity. We are required to make principal repayments first, pro rata among the term loan facilities, and second to the Revolving Facility from specified excess cash flows from operations and from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales, debt issuances, insurance recoveries and equity offerings. Subject to certain limitations, we may voluntarily pre-pay any of the credit facilities without premium or penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants restricting our ability and the ability of the Guarantors, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends, repurchase or redeem capital stock or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, and change the nature of their businesses.

The credit facilities contain two financial ratio covenants measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter: a total net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio. The total net leverage ratio is 6.00:1.00 beginning on our fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014, which then decreases over time to 4.00:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. The interest coverage ratio is 3.25:1.00 beginning on our fiscal quarter ending March 29, 2014, which then increases over time to 3.75:1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2017 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. The total net leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of our consolidated net debt as of the quarter end to our consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the four-fiscal quarter period ending on the measurement date. The interest coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of our consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the prior four-fiscal quarter period ending on the measurement date to adjusted consolidated cash interest expense for the same measurement period. These terms, and the calculation thereof, are defined in further detail in the Credit Agreement. As of June 28, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Senior Notes

On August 1, 2012, we completed a private placement of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are our general senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Guarantors. The Senior Notes mature on August 1, 2020 and bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2013.

We may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before August 1, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 106.250% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. We also have the option to redeem the Senior Notes on or after: August 1, 2015 through July 31, 2016 at 103.125% of par; August 1, 2016 through July 31, 2017 at 102.083% of par; August 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018 at 101.042% of par; and August 1, 2018 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if we undergo a change of control, as provided in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

Convertible Notes

At June 28, 2014, our Convertible Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $1.32 billion, are recorded at $1.22 billion, which is net of the unamortized debt discount attributed to the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Notes. These notes consist of:

• $450 million of our 2.00% Convertible Exchange Senior Notes due 2037 issued in November 2010 (2010 Notes);

• $500 million of our 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2042 issued in March 2012 (2012 Notes); and

• $370 million of our 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2043 issued in February 2013 (2013 Notes).

45

Holders may require us to repurchase the 2010 Notes on each of December 15, 2016, 2020, 2025, on December 13, 2030 and on December 14, 2035 or upon a fundamental change, as provided in the indenture for the 2010 Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders may require us to repurchase the 2012 Notes on each of March 1, 2018, 2022, 2027 and 2032, and on March 2, 2037 or upon a fundamental change, as provided in the indenture for the 2012 Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders may require us to repurchase the 2013 Notes on each of December 15, 2017, 2022, 2027, 2032 and 2037 or upon a fundamental change, as provided in the indenture for the 2013 Notes, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of their accreted principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

We may redeem any of the 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes and 2013 Notes beginning December 19, 2016, March 6, 2018 and December 15, 2017, respectively. We may redeem all or a portion of the 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes, and 2013 Notes (i.e., in cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock) at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 11, 2013, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our outstanding common stock over the next three years. Under the stock repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase, from time-to-time, shares of our outstanding common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in the United States. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will be determined based upon our evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and we have no obligation to repurchase any amount of our common stock under the program. Through June 28, 2014, we had not repurchased any shares of our common stock under this program.

Legal Contingencies

We are currently involved in several legal proceedings and claims. In connection with these legal proceedings and claims, management periodically reviews estimates of potential costs to be incurred by us in connection with the adjudication or settlement, if any, of these proceedings. These estimates are developed in consultation with outside counsel and are based on an analysis of potential litigation outcomes and settlement strategies. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, loss contingencies are accrued if, in the opinion of management, an adverse outcome is probable and such financial outcome can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that future results for any particular quarter or annual period may be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies relating to these proceedings.

Future Liquidity Considerations

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and the cash available under our Revolving Facility will provide us with sufficient funds in order to fund our expected normal operations and debt payments, including interest, over the next twelve months. Our longer-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund capital expenditures, repayment of debt and related deferred tax liabilities, as applicable, acquisitions, strategic transactions or other investments. As described above, we have significant indebtedness outstanding under our Credit Agreement, Senior Notes and Convertible Notes. These capital requirements could be substantial. For a description of risks to our operating performance and our indebtedness, see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, valuations, purchase price allocations and contingent consideration related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, restructuring

46

and other related charges, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, tax reserves and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For a discussion of how these and other factors may affect our business, see the “Cautionary Statement” above and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.

The critical accounting estimates that we believe affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements presented in this report are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates from those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2013.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments, and Derivative Commodity Instruments. Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, publicly traded equities, cost-method equity investments, mutual funds, insurance contracts and related deferred compensation plan liabilities, accounts payable and debt obligations. Except for our outstanding Convertible Notes and Senior Notes, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount. As of June 28, 2014, we have $1.32 billion in principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding, which are comprised of our 2010 Notes with a principal amount of $450.0 million, our 2012 Notes with a principal amount of $500.0 million and our 2013 Notes with a principal amount of $370.0 million. The Convertible Notes are recorded net of the unamortized debt discount on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our 2010 Notes, 2012 Notes and 2013 Notes as of June 28, 2014 was approximately $566.4 million, $548.6 million and $408.9 million, respectively. Amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement aggregating $2.06 billion aggregate principal as of June 28, 2014 are subject to variable rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, we believe the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The fair value of our Senior Notes is approximately $1.06 billion.

Primary Market Risk Exposures. Our primary market risk exposure is in the areas of interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk. We incur interest expense on borrowings outstanding under our Convertible Notes, Senior Notes and Credit Agreement. The Convertible Notes and Senior Notes have fixed interest rates. Borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum, at our option, initially, with respect to all loans made under Term Loan A (i) at the Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum, or (ii) at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (i.e., the Libor rate) plus 2.00%, and with respect to loans made under Term Loan B: (i) at the Base Rate, with a floor of 1.75%, plus 1.50%, or (ii) at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (i.e., the Libor rate), with a floor of 0.75%, plus 2.50%.

As of June 28, 2014, there was $2.06 billion of aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement comprised of $912.5 million under the Term Loan A facility and $1.15 billion under the Term Loan B facility. Since these debt obligations are variable rate instruments, our interest expense associated with these instruments is subject to change. A 10% adverse movement (increase in Libor rate) would increase annual interest expense by less than $1.0 million due to the low current interest rate environment and the floor on our Term Loan B facility.

The return from cash and cash equivalents will vary as short-term interest rates change. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates, however, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to: unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

We conduct business worldwide and maintain sales and service offices outside the United States as well as manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, Germany, England, Canada and China. The expenses of our international offices are denominated in local currencies, except at our Costa Rica subsidiary, where the majority of the business is conducted in U.S. dollars. Our international sales are denominated in a number of currencies, primarily the Euro, U.S. dollar and Renminbi. Fluctuations in foreign currency rates could affect our sales, cost of goods and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. In addition, currency devaluations can result in a loss if we hold deposits of that currency.

47

We believe that the operating expenses of our international subsidiaries that are incurred in local currencies will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our operating results and certain assets and liabilities that are denominated in the Euro are affected by changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. Our expenses, denominated in Euros, are positively affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens against the Euro and adversely affected when the U.S. dollar weakens. However, we believe that the foreign currency exchange risk is not significant. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in foreign currencies that we transact in would not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 28, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 28, 2014.An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Peter J. Valenti

Dear Peter,

I am delighted to welcome you to Hologic. You are joining a company with a tradition of excellence in providing innovative solutions to the field of women’s health. I am pleased to offer you the position of Division President- Breast Health reporting to Eric Compton, Chief Operating Officer. Please note that all offers are contingent based upon successful completion of references and a background check.

Start Date

Your start date will be on May 26, 2014.

Salary

Your biweekly base salary for this position will be $16,923.08 (equivalent to $440,000 on an annualized basis).

Benefit Plans and Programs

You will be eligible to participate in Hologic’s benefit programs. Please note that all insurance plans, benefits, as well as Company policies and procedures are subject to change without notice. You will have five (5) weeks of vacation time per year. You will have a car allowance of $500 per month. Details on all benefit programs will be provided during your first week of employment. Each year you will be eligible for additional Long Term Incentive Awards commensurate with your role as Division President- Breast Health, as determined by the Board of Directors.

Stock Options

As part of Hologic’s Long Term Incentive Program, you will be granted an option to purchase shares of currently authorized Company stock which will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Hologic’s standard stock option agreement with the value of $325,000. The stock option grant, which we believe will represent a valuable equity position in Hologic, will have a grant price based on Hologic’s closing price (listed on the NASDAQ) on your first day of employment (grant date). This option will vest at a rate of 20% per year, the first 20% vesting one year from the grant date (100% vested five years from the grant date). A detailed stock option agreement will be provided to you following the start of your employment.

Restricted Stock Units

As part of Hologic’s Long Term Incentive Program, you will be awarded a Restricted Stock Unit grant upon hire with the value of $325,000. This grant will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Hologic’s standard RSU agreement. The RSU grant, which we believe will represent a valuable equity position in Hologic, will vest at a rate of 25% per year, the first vesting one year from the award data (100% vested 4 years from your first day of employment). A detailed RSU agreement will be provided to you following the start of your employment.

Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP)

You are eligible to participate in Hologic’s Short-Term Incentive Plan, with a target incentive opportunity in fiscal year 2014 of 75% of base salary. Plan funding is based on company financial performance, and payouts are based on a combination of company financial achievement, division financial achievement and individual achievement. A threshold level of corporate financial achievement is required for any payments to be made. The Short-term Incentive Plan is measured and paid at the conclusion of the fiscal year. Any payout for the current fiscal year will be pro-rated to reflect your tenure in this position. Please note that all compensation plans and programs are subject to change or cancellation without notice, and any Short-term Incentive payment will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP)

You will be eligible for participation in the company’s DCP. You will receive a summary of this benefit as well as online account set up instructions directly from Fidelity shortly. You may enroll during the annual enrollment period in the late fall to defer from your regular base salary and/or annual bonus during the following calendar year. In the meantime, you should elect your desired distribution option for any Employer Retention Contribution that you may be eligible to receive. This election should be made within 30 days of becoming eligible (hire/promotion date).

Proof of Right to Work

In accordance with federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States. Such documentation must be provided to the Company within three (3) business days of your hire date. Hologic, Inc. utilizes E-Verify, an internet-based program operated by the Department of Homeland Security in partnership with Social Security Administration to verify every employee’s eligibility to work.

Severance

You are eligible for Senior Vice President Severance benefits contingent upon your execution of the attached Senior Vice President Severance Agreement.

Non-Compete/Confidentiality/Proprietary Agreements

You also agree that to the best of your knowledge, you are not under any formal non-compete, confidentiality, or proprietary agreement with your previous employer that would preclude you from working for Hologic.

By signing below you acknowledge that this letter does not constitute a contractual agreement. Your employment with Hologic is contingent upon you signing the enclosed Employee Intellectual Property Rights and Non-Competition Agreement and Dispute Resolution Agreement as well as the securing of satisfactory reference and background checks.

This offer is valid through May 19, 2014and requires a response on or before that date.

We believe that joining Hologic is truly an ideal opportunity for you to move to the next step in your career. You will be in a position to significantly influence Hologic’s growth and success. We are confident you will find working at Hologic an exciting and worthwhile venture.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 660), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU is applicable to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current US GAAP. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which is fiscal 2018 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift in operations, such as a disposal of a major line of business or geographic area, that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results should be reported as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The implementation of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company has an equity investment in a publicly-traded company and mutual funds, both of which are valued using quoted market prices, representing Level 1 assets. The Company has a payment obligation to the participants under its Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”). This liability is recorded at fair value based on the underlying value of certain hypothetical investments under the DCP as designated by each participant for their benefit. Since the value of the DCP obligation is based on market prices, the liability is classified within Level 1. In addition, in fiscal 2013, the Company had contingent consideration liabilities related to its acquisitions that were recorded at fair value and were based on Level 3 inputs (see Note 5(a)).

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following at June 28, 2014:

			Fair Value at Reporting Date Using
	Balance as of June 28, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Market for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:

Contingent consideration	3.1		—		—		3.1
Total	$	39.1	$	36.0	$	—	$	3.1

Changes in the fair value of recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which solely consisted of contingent consideration liabilities, were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Balance at beginning of period	$	3.4		$	3.6		$	3.8		$	86.4
Contingent consideration recorded at acquisition	—			0.5			—			0.5
Fair value adjustments	—			0.5			—			11.3
Payments	(0.3		)	(0.1		)	(0.7		)	(93.7		)
Balance at end of period	$	3.1		$	4.5		$	3.1		$	4.5

The contingent consideration liability at June 28, 2014 is related to the Company’s acquisition of Interlace Medical, Inc. (“Interlace”) and represents the remaining amounts withheld from payments made to the former stockholders of Interlace for legal indemnification provisions. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Interlace contingent liability was no longer being remeasured as the final measurement period lapsed. The withheld amount is being used to pay qualifying legal expenses in connection with the Company's litigation with Smith & Nephew, Inc. (“Smith & Nephew”) (see Note 5(b)).

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company remeasures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities upon the occurrence of certain events. Such assets are comprised of cost-method equity investments and long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company evaluated its MRI breast coils product line asset group, which is within its Breast Health segment, for impairment due to the Company’s expectation that it will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. The undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by this asset group over its estimated remaining useful life were not sufficient to recover its carrying value. The Company estimated the fair value of the asset group using market participant assumptions, which were based on underlying cash flow estimates, resulting in an impairment charge of $28.6 million. Pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment-Other, subtopic 10-35-28, the impairment charge was allocated to the long-lived assets, with $27.1 million to intangible assets and $1.5 million to property and equipment. The property and equipment charge was recorded to cost of product revenues and general and administrative expenses in the amounts of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of this asset group is subject to change and additional charges may be recorded in the future. The Company believes this adjustment falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $3.1 million impairment charge to record certain of its buildings at fair value related to the shutdown of the Hitec organic photoconductor manufacturing line (see Note 3). The Company believes this adjustment falls within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company holds certain cost-method equity investments in non-publicly traded securities aggregating $5.2 million and $12.6 million at June 28, 2014 and September 28, 2013, respectively, which are included in other long-term assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are generally carried at cost, less any write-downs for other-than-temporary impairment charges. To determine the fair value of these investments, the Company uses all available financial information related to the entities, including information based on recent or pending third-party equity investments in these entities. In certain instances, a cost method investment’s fair value is not estimated as there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and to do so would be impractical. For the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $3.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively, related to its cost-method equity investments. For the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013, the Company recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges of $4.7 million and $6.4 million, respectively, related to these investments.

The following chart depicts the level of inputs within the fair value hierarchy used to estimate the fair value of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis for which the Company has recorded impairment charges to date in fiscal 2014:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Market for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Losses
Fiscal 2014:
Intangible assets	$	18.3	—	—	$	18.3	$	(27.1	)
Property and equipment	1.0		—	—	1.0		(1.5		)
Buildings	1.4		—	—	1.4		(3.1		)
Cost-method equity investments	0.8		—	—	0.8		(6.9		)
							$	(38.6	)

Refer to Note 4 for disclosure of the nonrecurring fair value measurement related to the debt extinguishment losses recorded in the second quarter of each of fiscal 2014 and 2013. Refer to Note 13 for the disclosure of the nonrecurring fair value measurement related to the intangible asset impairment charge recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, marketable securities, cost-method equity investments, insurance contracts, DCP liability, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of the insurance contracts are recorded at the cash surrender value, as required by U.S. GAAP, which approximates fair value, and the related DCP liability is recorded at fair value. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its cost-method equity investments approximate fair value.

Amounts outstanding under the Company’s Credit Agreement of $2.06 billion aggregate principal are subject to variable rates of interest based on current market rates, and as such, the Company believes the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The Company’s Senior Notes had a fair value of approximately $1.06 billion as of June 28, 2014 based on their trading price, representing a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes is based on the trading prices of the respective notes and represents a Level 1 measurement. Refer to Note 4 for the carrying amounts of the various components of the Company’s debt.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s Convertible Notes at June 28, 2014 were as follows:

2010 Notes	$	566.4
2012 Notes	548.6
2013 Notes	408.9

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic” or the “Company”) presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 28, 2013 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 26, 2013. In the opinion of management, the financial statements and notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending September 27, 2014.

Subsequent Events Consideration

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized subsequent events recorded in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014.

The Company measures and evaluates its reportable segments based on segment revenues and operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash charges, such as intangible asset amortization expense, intangible asset and goodwill impairment charges, contingent consideration charges, acquisition related fair value adjustments and integration expenses, restructuring and divestiture charges and other one-time or unusual items and related tax effects.

Identifiable assets for the four principal operating segments consist of inventories, intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment. The Company fully allocates depreciation expense to its four reportable segments. The Company has presented all other identifiable assets as corporate assets. There were no intersegment revenues during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013. Segment information is as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Contingent Earn-Out Payments

In connection with certain of its acquisitions, the Company incurred obligations to make contingent earn-out payments tied to performance criteria, principally revenue growth of the acquired businesses over a specified period.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company made its final contingent consideration payment of $16.8 million to the former shareholders of Adiana, Inc., which was net of amounts withheld for qualifying legal costs, and its final contingent consideration payment of $3.4 million to the former shareholders of Sentinelle Medical Inc.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Interlace in fiscal 2011, the Company had an obligation to the former Interlace stockholders to make contingent payments over a two-year period. Pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company recorded its estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration liability based on future revenue projections of the Interlace business. The final measurement period ended during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, resulting in a contingent consideration liability of $93.8 million. Of this amount, $86.9 million was paid to the former Interlace stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The remainder was withheld for legal indemnification provisions and is being used to pay qualifying legal expenses. At June 28, 2014, the Company had accrued $3.1 million.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of TCT International Co., Ltd. (“TCT”) in June 2011, the Company had an obligation to certain of the former TCT shareholders, based on future employment, to make contingent payments over a two year period provided certain revenue milestones were met. These earnouts were recorded as compensation expense ratably over the required service periods. The second and final earn-out period was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, and the Company paid $87.4 million of this earn-out in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The remaining $31.1 million of this earn-out was paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

There was no contingent consideration expense recorded in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. A summary of amounts recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows:

Statement of Operations Line Item – 3 Months Ended June 29, 2013	Interlace		TCT		Total

(b) Litigation and Related Matters

On June 9, 2010, Smith & Nephew filed suit against Interlace, which the Company acquired on January 6, 2011, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that the Interlace MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal device infringed U.S. patent 7,226,459. On November 22, 2011, Smith & Nephew filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleged that use of the MyoSure hysteroscopic tissue removal system infringed U.S. patent 8,061,359. Both complaints sought permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. On September 4, 2012, following a two week trial, the jury returned a verdict of infringement of both the ‘459 and ‘359 patents and assessed damages of $4.0 million. A bench trial regarding the Company’s assertion of inequitable conduct on the part of Smith & Nephew with regard to the ‘359 patent was held on December 9, 2012 and oral arguments on the issue of inequitable conduct were presented on February 27, 2013. On June 27, 2013, the Court denied the Company’s motions related to inequitable conduct and allowed Smith & Nephew’s request for injunction, but ordered that enforcement of the injunction be stayed until final resolution, including appeal, of the current re-examinations of both patents at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The Court also rejected the jury’s damage award and ordered the parties to identify a mechanism for resolving the damages issue. On September 12, 2013, a status conference was held, and the Court invited the parties to submit briefs on the relevance of recent activity in the re-examinations at the USPTO. A hearing on this topic was held on October 29, 2013, and the parties are awaiting the Court’s ruling. The Company intends to file post-trial motions seeking to reverse the jury’s verdict. On January 14, 2014, the USPTO issued a final decision that the claims of the ‘459 patent asserted as part of the litigation are not patentable. On February 13, 2014, Smith & Nephew appealed this decision to the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The re-examination of the ‘359 patent is on-going. It is expected that patentability decisions made by the USPTO for both patents will proceed to appeal. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.

On March 6, 2012, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. (“Enzo”) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint alleged that certain of the Company’s molecular diagnostics products, including without limitation products based on its proprietary Invader chemistry, such as Cervista HPV HR and Cervista HPV 16/18, infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. The Company was formally served with the complaint on July 3, 2012, and a trial is tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2015. In January 2012, Enzo filed suit against Gen-Probe in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The Gen-Probe complaint alleged that certain of Gen-Probe’s diagnostics products, including products that incorporate Gen-Probe’s patented hybridization protection assay technology, such as the Aptima Combo 2 and Aptima HPV assays, infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180. On September 30, 2013, Enzo amended its list of accused products to include Prodesse, MilliPROBE, PACE and Procleix assays. The complaint seeks permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. Enzo has asserted the ‘180 patent claims against six other companies. The defendant companies are jointly arguing issues related to claim construction, and the trials are tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall of 2015. At this time, based on available information regarding this litigation, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses.

On October 29, 2013, the Interlace stockholder representatives filed a complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery alleging breach of contract for issues related to the payment of contingent consideration under the Interlace acquisition agreement, and are seeking $14.7 million in additional payments. The Company believes that Interlace has been paid all amounts due under the acquisition agreement and that the claims are without merit. The Company is currently undergoing discovery. At this time, the Company is unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or range of estimates, of potential losses.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that except for those described above there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it of which the ultimate resolution would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Borrowings and Credit Arrangements

Borrowings and Credit Arrangements

The Company’s borrowings consisted of the following:

	June 28, 2014		September 28, 2013
Current debt obligations, net of debt discount:
Term Loan A	$	87.1	$	49.7
Term Loan B	14.9		114.0
Convertible Notes	—		400.1
Total current debt obligations	102.0		563.8
Long-term debt obligations, net of debt discount:
Term Loan A	821.2		894.8
Term Loan B	1,124.3		1,159.3
Senior Notes	1,000.0		1,000.0
Convertible Notes	1,223.0		1,188.0
Total long-term debt obligations	4,168.5		4,242.1
Total debt obligations	$	4,270.5	$	4,805.9

Credit Agreement

On October 31, 2013, the Company voluntarily pre-paid $100.0 million of its Term Loan B facility, which was reflected in current debt obligations as of September 28, 2013. Pursuant to ASC 470, Debt (ASC 470), the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to write-off the pro-rata amount of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs related to this voluntary prepayment.

On February 26, 2014, the Company, the Guarantors, Goldman Sachs, and the Lenders entered into Refinancing Amendment No. 3 to the credit and guaranty agreement among the parties (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Refinancing Amendment No. 3 refinanced the Company’s existing senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the “Existing Term Loan B”) with a new senior secured tranche B term loan facility (the “New Term Loan B”) with an issue price of 99.875% of the principal amount of the Existing Term Loan B (subject also to the prepayment referenced below). This amendment resulted in a 50 basis point reduction in the interest rate on the New Term Loan B. Amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan B bear interest, at the Company’s option: (a) at the Base Rate, with a floor of 1.75%, plus 1.50% per annum, or (b) at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (i.e., the Libor rate), with a floor of 0.75%, plus 2.50% per annum. In addition, the Company voluntarily prepaid $25.0 million of the New Term Loan B.

Pursuant to ASC 470, the accounting for this refinancing is required to be evaluated on a creditor-by-creditor basis to determine whether each transaction should be accounted for as a modification or extinguishment. Certain creditors under the Credit Agreement did not participate in this refinancing transaction and ceased being creditors of the Company, and certain creditors reduced their positions. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $4.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to write-off the pro-rata amount of unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs related to these creditors. For the remainder of the creditors, this transaction has been accounted for as a modification because the present value of the cash flows on a creditor-by-creditor basis between the two debt instruments was less than 10%. Pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40, third-party costs of $1.0 million related to this transaction were expensed.

Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014 had weighted-average interest rates of 2.76% and 2.93%, respectively. The interest rates on the outstanding Term Loan A and Term Loan B borrowings at June 28, 2014 were 2.15% and 3.25%, respectively. Interest expense under the Credit Agreement totaled $17.9 million and $57.5 million for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, which includes non-cash interest expense of $3.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively, related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs and accretion of the debt discount. Interest expense totaled $26.1 million and $84.7 million for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2013, respectively, which includes non-cash interest expense of $3.4 million and $11.2 million related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs and accretion of the debt discount.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company executed Refinancing Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement which reduced the interest rate on the Term Loan A facility. Consistent with the accounting treatment noted above for Refinancing Amendment No. 3, in connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $3.2 million and expensed $2.4 million of third-party costs to interest expense.

Senior Notes

The Company’s 6.25% senior notes due 2020 (the “Senior Notes”) mature on August 1, 2020 and bear interest at the rate of 6.25% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2013. The Company recorded interest expense of $16.0 million and $48.0 million in both the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, which includes non-cash interest expense of $0.4 million and $1.2 million in both the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, related to the amortization of the deferred financing costs.

Convertible Notes

On November 14, 2013, the Company announced that it had issued a notice of redemption to the holders of its 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2037 (“2007 Notes”) to redeem any 2007 Notes outstanding on December 18, 2013 at a redemption price payable in cash equal to 100.00% of the principal amount of the 2007 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, December 18, 2013. Holders of the 2007 Notes also had the option of putting the 2007 Notes to the Company as of December 13, 2013. The 2007 Notes were redeemed at their par value aggregating $405.0 million. Under ASC 470, the derecognition of the 2007 Notes did not result in a gain or loss as the fair value of the liability component of the 2007 Notes was determined to be equal to the consideration paid to redeem the 2007 Notes, and as a result, no value was allocated to the reacquisition of the conversion option.

Interest expense under the Convertible Notes is as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 660), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. This ASU is applicable to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current US GAAP. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, which is fiscal 2018 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the guidance for reporting discontinued operations and disposals of components of an entity. The amended guidance requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift in operations, such as a disposal of a major line of business or geographic area, that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results should be reported as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 also expands the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and adds new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014 (early adoption is permitted only for disposals that have not been previously reported). The implementation of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period. If, however, the entity is unable to reliably estimate its annual effective tax rate, then the actual effective tax rate for the year-to-date may be the best annual effective tax rate estimate. For the nine months ended June 29, 2013, the Company determined that it was unable to make a reliable annual effective tax rate estimate due to the rate sensitivity as it related to its forecasted fiscal 2013 results. Therefore, the Company recorded a tax benefit for the nine months ended June 29, 2013 based on the effective rate for the nine months ended June 29, 2013.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended June 28, 2014 was 50.0% and 214.2%, respectively, compared to a provision of 58.2% and a benefit of 33.0%, respectively, on pre-tax losses for the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the current three and nine month periods, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses. For the three months ended June 29, 2013, the tax rate was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible contingent consideration expense related to the TCT acquisition and unbenefited foreign losses, partially offset by the domestic production activities deduction. For the nine months endedJune 29, 2013, the tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a $19.6 million valuation allowance release related to capital losses which were utilized to offset capital gains generated during the year, partially offset by non-deductible contingent consideration expense related to the TCT and Interlace acquisitions and unbenefited losses.

As more fully discussed in Note 4, the Company has outstanding Convertible Notes. The Company’s policy is to net share settle its Convertible Notes, and any conversion premium, at the Company’s option, may be satisfied by issuing shares of common stock, cash or a combination of shares and cash. As such, dilution related to the conversion premium on the 2010 Notes is included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. Except for the three months ended June 28, 2014, shares potentially issuable for the conversion premium of the Convertible Notes were excluded from the calculation of earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Sale of Makena

Sale of Makena

In fiscal 2008, the Company sold the rights of its Makena (formerly Gestiva) pharmaceutical product to K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) upon FDA approval of the then pending Makena new drug application. The Company executed certain amendments to this agreement that resulted in an increase in the total sales price to $199.5 million and a change in the timing of when payments were due to the Company. On February 3, 2011, the Company received FDA approval of Makena, and all rights to Makena were transferred to KV. The Company had received scheduled payments as required under the agreement until August 2012 when KV and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court. At that time, additional payments were still owed to the Company, and in December 2012 the Company and KV executed a settlement agreement, which released KV from all claims in consideration of a $60.0 million payment. The Company recorded this amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, net of certain costs, resulting in a gain of $53.9 million. The Company will receive no further payments from KV.

The following presents stock-based compensation expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations:

The Company granted approximately 2.4 million and 2.3 million stock options during the nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, with weighted-average exercise prices of $21.92 and $19.95, respectively. There were 9.9 million options outstanding at June 28, 2014 with a weighted-average exercise price of $20.31.

The Company uses a binomial model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The weighted-average assumptions utilized to value these stock options are indicated in the following table:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Risk-free interest rate	1.3		%	0.5		%	1.2		%	0.5		%
Expected volatility	41.4		%	43.7		%	41.4		%	43.7		%
Expected life (in years)	4.5			4.4			4.4			4.4
Dividend yield	—			—			—			—
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	7.97		$	7.47		$	7.64		$	7.09

The Company granted approximately 2.4 million and 2.0 million restricted stock units (RSUs) during the nine months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $21.97 and $19.86, respectively. As of June 28, 2014, there were 4.2 million unvested RSUs outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $20.61. The Company granted approximately 0.4 million performance stock units (PSUs) in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 to members of its senior management team, which have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $21.77. Each recipient of the PSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of three years provided the Company’s defined Return on Invested Capital metrics are achieved. The Company is recognizing compensation expense ratably over the required service period based on its estimate that it is probable the targeted number of shares will vest. If there is a change in the estimate of the number of shares that are probable of vesting, the Company will cumulatively adjust compensation expense in the period that the change in estimate is made.

In connection with appointing its new President and Chief Executive Officer in December 2013, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million market stock units (MSUs). The MSUs vest in three separate tranches in an amount of 1/3rd of the total amount of the award based on the Company’s stock price meeting certain defined average stock prices for 30 consecutive trading days. These MSUs were valued at an average of $18.65 using the Monte Carlo simulation model and each tranche has its own derived service period. The Company is recognizing compensation expense under the accelerated method as prescribed by ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (ASC 718). In addition, per the terms of his employment agreement, the Company granted 0.2 million RSUs to match Mr. MacMillan’s purchase of 0.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. The RSUs cliff vest three years from the date of grant, and the Company is accounting for this grant as a liability award pursuant to ASC 718 because this RSU award contains an additional vesting condition (the requirement that Mr. MacMillan retain the matching shares during the vesting period) that is not service, performance or market based.

At June 28, 2014, there was $26.9 million and $72.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and stock units (comprised of RSUs, MSUs and PSUs), respectively, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years and 2.8 years, respectively.
