Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meanings of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, regarding our future plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, representations, and projections.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements. For a more in-depth discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements, see the discussions under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”) and subsequent filings with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects also could be materially adversely impacted by the length and severity of the on-going coronavirus pandemic (“COVID-19,” “the pandemic,” or “the virus”), further resurgences and new variants of Covid-19, the availability, distribution, rate of public acceptance and efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics for COVID-19, and the long-term economic impacts as a result of the pandemic. We assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required by law.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hillrom,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on August 7, 1969, in the State of Indiana and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. We are a global medical technology leader whose approximately 10,000 employees have a single purpose: enhancing outcomes for patients and their caregivers by Advancing Connected Care™. Around the world, our innovations touch over 7 million patients each day. Our products and services help enable earlier diagnosis and treatment, optimize surgical efficiency and accelerate patient recovery while simplifying clinical communication and shifting care closer to home. We make these outcomes possible through digital and connected care solutions and collaboration tools, including smart bed systems, patient monitoring and diagnostic technologies, respiratory health devices, advanced equipment for the surgical space and more, delivering actionable, real-time insights at the point of care.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. Quarterly results are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Hillrom’s fiscal 2020 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hillrom and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company makes a number of significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements. Additionally, the Company measures and classifies fair value measurements in accordance with the level hierarchy in conformity with GAAP. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates and valuation techniques used to measure fair value have not changed from September 30, 2020. See Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the 2020 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 for further information.

Revenue Recognition — Sales and Rentals

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue recognized from contracts with customers by geography and reportable segments consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. See Note 11. Segment Reporting for the presentation of the Company's revenue disaggregation.

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities represent deferred revenues that arise as a result of cash received from customers at inception of contracts or where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of our performance obligations. Such remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the contract price for which work has not been performed and are primarily related to our installation and service contracts. These contract liabilities are recorded in Deferred revenue and Other long-term liabilities. We expect to satisfy the majority of the remaining performance obligations and recognize revenue related to installation and service contracts within 12 to 24 months.

Table of Contents

The nature of our products and services does not give rise to contract assets as we typically do not have instances where a right to payment for goods and services already transferred to a customer exists that is conditional on something other than the passage of time.

The following table summarizes contract liability activity for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The contract liability balance represents the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations.


	Contract Liabilities
Balance as of September 30, 2020	$	138.1
New revenue deferrals	378.2
Revenue recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations	(380.9)
Foreign currency translation adjustment	0.8
Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	136.2

Rental Revenue

We make certain products available to customers under short-term lease arrangements. Rental usage of these products is provided as an alternative to product sales and is short-term in nature. Products primarily include smart beds, including, but not limited to, bariatric, intensive care unit, maternity, and home care beds, as well as surfaces. These lease arrangements provide our customers with our products during periods of peak demand or often times for specialty purposes. Additionally, we provide wearable, non-invasive ventilation products to patients covered by monthly medical insurance reimbursements, which are considered month-to-month leasing arrangements. Income arising from these lease arrangements where we are the lessor is recognized within Rental revenue. We accounted for these lease arrangements as operating leases.

Warranties and Guarantees

We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year; however, certain components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters, which might require a field corrective action, separate reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated.

In the normal course of business, we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees and indemnifications have not historically had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, nor do we expect them to although indemnifications associated with our actions generally have no dollar limitations.

In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of our commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. With respect to divestitures, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have an adverse impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following summarizes accrued product warranty activity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment is performed annually, or on an interim basis upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The annual evaluations of goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment were performed as of April 30, 2021 and did not result in any impairment.

Government Programs Related to COVID-19

On March 25, 2020, the U.S. government approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the pandemic. The governments in certain other non-U.S. countries have also approved legislation in their jurisdictions to address the impact of the pandemic. We evaluated our eligibility and assessed the conditions and requirements of participation in available programs. During the calendar year 2020, we deferred payment of the employer share of the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes totaling $21.7 million within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which $10.8 million must be repaid in both December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in accordance with the CARES Act within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We continue to evaluate what impact, if any, the CARES Act, or any similar legislation in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, may have on our results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments and has subsequently issued related amendments, collectively referred to as “Topic 326”. Topic 326 requires entities to measure credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. This adoption primarily impacted our trade accounts receivables. Under the current expected credit loss model, we review receivables for collectability based on an assessment of various factors, including historical collection experience for each receivable type and expectations of forward-looking loss estimates, and individual receivables are also reviewed for collectability based on unique circumstances. Any adjustments made to our historical loss experience reflect current differences in asset-specific risk characteristics, including, customer type (public or government entity versus private entity) and geographic location of the customer. We adopted ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 using the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. The cumulative effect of applying Topic 326 was an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $3.0 million and deferred tax assets of $0.8 million with a corresponding decrease to the opening balance of Retained earnings of $2.2 million.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of fair value disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 requires the application of the prospective method of transition (for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption) to the new disclosure requirements for (1) changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income and (2) the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also requires prospective application to any modifications to disclosures made because of the change to the requirements for the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The effects of all other amendments made by ASU 2018-13 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We adopted ASU 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement to be consistent with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). We adopted ASU 2018-15 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 using the prospective transition method approach. The Company’s cloud computing hosting arrangements are primarily information technology agreements that support the Company’s operations and infrastructure. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. The purpose of the standard is to (1) clarify that transactions between participants in a collaborative agreement should be accounted for under Topic 606 and (2) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with Topic 606. We retrospectively adopted ASU 2018-18 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 had no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2021- 01 is an extension of ASU 2020-04 disclosed in our 2020 Form 10-K. ASU 2021-01 clarifies the scope and guidance of Topic 848 and allows derivatives impacted by the changing of interest rates used for margin payments, discounting, or contract price alignment to qualify for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting. ASU 2021-01 is optional and is effective for a limited period of time through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2021, this standard has no impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We will continue to monitor, assess and plan for the phase out of LIBOR.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-14 is effective for our annual disclosures for fiscal 2021 and requires a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The purpose of the standard is to remove certain exceptions to the general principles of Topic 740: Income Taxes in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application and to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2022 and will be applied either retrospectively or prospectively depending on the specific Topic 740 exception affected. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Except as noted above, there are no significant changes to our assessment of the impact of recently issued accounting standards included in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Note 3. Business Combinations

Acquisitions

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. The difference between the purchase price amount and the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill on the balance sheet if the purchase price exceeds the estimated net fair value or as a bargain purchase gain on the income statement if the purchase price is less than the estimated net fair value. The allocation of the purchase price may be modified up to one year after the acquisition date as more information is obtained about the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

Table of Contents

During fiscal 2020 we acquired the following companies:


Company Name	Description of the Business	Description of the Acquisition
Excel Medical	Clinical communications software company located in the United States	Purchased all of the outstanding equity interest.
Connecta	Clinical communications software company based in Mexico.	Purchased the multiplatform medical device integration and connectivity software programs, products, and solutions of the company.
Videomed	Developer of integrated video solutions in operating rooms located in Italy.	Purchased all of the outstanding equity interest.

The purchase price for the acquisitions listed above includes contingent consideration for which the performance periods have not yet expired. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a reduction in the contingent consideration obligations of $2.6 million, in Selling and administrative expenses primarily related to Excel Medical as a certain commercial milestone was not met. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we paid $2.0 million in cash as contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Excel Medical. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, contingent consideration liabilities related to prior year acquisitions totaled $4.3 million and $8.9 million and are included in Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we did not close on any new business acquisitions. For additional information on Acquisitions, see Note 3. Business Combinations within the 2020 Form 10-K.

Bardy Diagnostics, Inc.

On January 15, 2021, Hill-Rom, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Hill-Rom, Inc., Barcelona Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Bardy Diagnostics, Inc. (“Bardy”) and Fortis Advisors LLC (as Equityholders’ Representative), providing for our acquisition of Bardy. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Bardy with Bardy surviving the merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. The Merger Agreement provides that holders of outstanding shares of Bardy common and preferred stock and holders of Bardy warrants, stock options and other equity-related awards will be entitled to receive initial cash consideration of $375.0 million, subject to closing conditions and certain post-closing adjustments (the “Bardy Transaction”). Additional contingent cash consideration will be payable based on the revenue generated from the acquired cardiac monitoring product during the first two calendar years starting with the calendar year in which the transaction is closed.

The contingent consideration payable for the first calendar year in which the transaction closes will equal (i) 50% of the revenue generated if less than $45.0 million, (ii) 100% of the revenue generated if such revenue is between $45.0 million and $57.0 million, and (iii) 150% of revenue generated if greater than $57.0 million during calendar year 2021.

The contingent consideration payable for the second calendar year will equal (i) 50% of the revenue generated if such revenue is less than $70.0 million, (ii) 100% of the revenue generated if such revenue is between $70.0 million and $89.0 million, and (iii) 125% of the revenue generated if such revenue is greater than $89.0 million during the calendar year 2022.

On January 29, 2021, the Medicare Administrative Contractor, Novitas Solutions ("Novitas"), published newly established, Category 1 reimbursement rates applicable to the Current Procedural Terminology ("CPT") codes 93241, 93243, 93245 and 93247 for the extended holter cardiac monitoring category.

As a result of the unexpected Novitas reimbursement rate reduction, on February 21, 2021, Hillrom asserted that a "Company Material Adverse Effect" occurred, and therefore the closing conditions were not satisfied. On February 28, 2021, Bardy filed a complaint against Hillrom in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking, among other things, specific performance to compel Hillrom to close the transaction.

On April 10, 2021, Novitas published updated reimbursement rates applicable to CPT codes 93241, 93243, 93245 and 93247 and Hillrom reconfirmed its position that a “Company Material Adverse Effect” occurred.

Following a trial conducted during May 5-7, 2021, on July 9, 2021, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware ordered Hillrom to proceed with the closing of the Bardy Transaction, denying Hillrom’s claim of a "Company Material Adverse Effect". Hillrom now anticipates closing of the Bardy Transaction on or about August 6, 2021.

Asset Acquisition

On January 28, 2021, we acquired the contact-free continuous monitoring intellectual property and technology from EarlySense Ltd. in exchange for cash of $30.0 million, a portion of our non-marketable equity investment in EarlySense Ltd. of $25.5 million at cost and forgiveness of a prepayment of approximately $1.8 million. The investment was transferred to EarlySense Ltd. on April 27, 2021 after certain conditions outlined in the purchase agreement were satisfied. Additionally, contingent consideration of up to $10.0 million will be payable if commercial milestones defined in the purchase agreement are achieved through September 2023.

The value of the acquired intangible asset recorded upon close of the transaction was $59.4 million, which included estimated contingent consideration of $2.4 million. The intangible asset acquired is presented in Other intangible assets and software, net and is amortized over the expected useful life of the technology of 8 years. The liability for the contingent consideration is included in Other long-term liabilities. Revenues generated from this asset acquisition are recorded within the Patient Support Systems segment.

Note 4. Financing Agreements

Short-Term Borrowings

Securitization Facilities

On April 23, 2021, we renewed our 364-day accounts receivable securitization program (the " Securitization Facility ") with certain financial institutions for borrowings up to $110.0 million. Additionally, we renewed our 364-day facility for borrowings up to $90.0 million (the "Note Securitization Facility") on April 23, 2021. The terms and conditions of the renewed April 2021 facilities are substantially similar to the expired April 2020 facilities. As of June 30, 2021, outstanding borrowings were $98.3 million on the Securitization Facility and $90.0 million on the Note Securitization Facility. As of September 30, 2020, outstanding borrowings were $82.2 million on the Securitization Facility and $90.0 million on the Note Securitization Facility. Borrowings outstanding under the renewed Securitization Facility and renewed Note Securitization Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin of 0.78% and 0.85%.

Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2021, there were $160.0 million outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and available borrowing capacity was $1,030.0 million after giving effect to the outstanding standby letters of credit $10.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,191.0 million after giving effect to $9.0 million of outstanding standby letters of credit.

Long-Term Debt Redemptions

On May 20, 2021, we redeemed the senior unsecured 5.00% notes due February 15, 2025 for $300.0 million using cash on hand and funds borrowed from both Securitization Facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9.8 million, which was comprised of a $7.5 million prepayment premium and $2.3 million of debt issuance costs previously capitalized.

On October 7, 2019, we redeemed the senior unsecured 5.75% notes due September 2023 for $425.0 million and paid the prepayment premium of $12.2 million using the net proceeds from the senior unsecured 4.375% notes of $425.0 million maturing September 2027 that were issued in September 2019, along with funds borrowed from the Revolving Credit Facility. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.6 million, which was comprised of a $12.2 million prepayment premium and $3.4 million of debt issuance costs previously capitalized.

See Note 5. Financing Agreements included within our 2020 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 for further information.

Fair Value

The fair value of our debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities. The book values of our Securitization Facility, Note Securitization Facility, Term Loan A facility maturing in August 2024, and Revolving Credit Facility approximate fair value.

The estimated fair values of our long-term debt instruments are described in the table below:


	June 30, 2021		September 30, 2020
Senior unsecured 5.00% notes due on February 15, 2025	$	—	$	310.1
Senior unsecured 4.375% notes due on September 15, 2027	443.3		441.2
Unsecured debentures	47.2		48.0
Total	$	490.5	$	799.3

The estimated fair values of our long-term unsecured debentures were based on observable inputs such as quoted prices in markets that are not active. The estimated fair values of the Senior Notes were based on quoted prices for similar liabilities. These fair value measurements were classified as Level 2.

Debt Covenants

As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our financing agreements.

Note 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates and variability in foreign currency exchange rates. We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We employ cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, and other derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting to manage these risks.

Cash Flow Hedges

To manage our exposure to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates, we enter into interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million to hedge the variability of cash flows through August 2024 associated with a portion of the variable interest rate payments on outstanding borrowings under our Senior Credit Agreement.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates due to our international operations. We enter into currency exchange contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific and projected transactions. We operate this program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations, and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currencies. Our currency risk consists primarily of foreign currency denominated firm commitments and projected foreign currency denominated intercompany and third-party transactions. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the notional amount of outstanding currency exchange contracts was $8.1 million and $64.4 million, respectively. The maximum length of time over which we hedge transaction exposures is generally 12 months. Derivative gains and losses, initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are reclassified to earnings in the period when the underlying transaction affects earnings.

Net Investment Hedges

As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had cross-currency swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $198.3 million, to hedge the variability of net assets due to changes in the U.S. dollar-Euro spot exchange rates through July 2023. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges of subsidiaries using the Euro as their functional currency.

Table of Contents

We assess hedge effectiveness under the spot-to-spot method and record changes in fair value attributable to the translation of foreign currencies through Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We amortize the impact of all other changes in fair value of the derivatives through Interest expense, which was income of $1.3 million and $3.9 million for both the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Undesignated Derivative Instruments

We use forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges and the terms of these instruments generally do not exceed one month. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, we had forward contracts not designated as hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $236.2 million and $169.9 million.

The following table summarizes unrealized and realized gains and losses for forward contracts not designated as hedges, which are recorded in Investment income (expense) and other, net.


	Three Months Ended June 30				Nine Months Ended June 30
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Unrealized gain (loss)	$	(3.0)	$	0.5	$	(3.0)	$	0.5
Realized gain (loss)	0.2		(0.1)		(1.0)		1.1

Fair Value

We classify fair value measurements on our derivative instruments as Level 2. The estimated fair values of our derivative instruments are described in the table below:


Derivative Instruments	June 30, 2021		September 30, 2020		Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Position
Interest Rate Swaps	$	(25.9)	$	(46.3)	Other current liabilities

Note 6. Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans

We sponsor five defined benefit retirement plans. Those plans include a master defined benefit retirement plan in the United States, a nonqualified supplemental executive defined benefit retirement plan, and three defined benefit retirement plans covering employees in Germany and France. Benefits for such plans are based primarily on years of service and the employee’s level of compensation in specific periods of employment. We contribute funds to trusts as necessary to provide for current service and for any unfunded projected future benefit obligation over a reasonable period of time. All of our plans have a September 30 measurement date. The following table provides the components of net pension expense for our defined benefit retirement plans.

1 In September 2020, we offered certain employees in the United States the option to participate in a voluntary early retirement plan. The employees who accepted the offer received special termination benefits during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, which were recorded as a component of Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 8. Special Charges for further information.
2 On March 9, 2020, we transferred pension assets totaling $40.6 million to purchase annuity contracts for a certain population of retirees with a third-party insurance company. As a result, we recognized a non-cash settlement loss of $8.4 million for the for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, which is recorded as a component of Investment income (expense) and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

In addition to defined benefit retirement plans, we also offer two postretirement health care plans in the United States that provide health care benefits to qualified retirees and their dependents. The plans are closed to new participants and include retiree cost sharing provisions and generally extend retiree coverage for medical and prescription benefits beyond the COBRA continuation period to the date of Medicare eligibility. Annual costs related to these plans are not significant. In connection with the voluntary early retirement plan offered in September 2020, we incurred $0.2 million of special termination benefits related to our postretirement health care plan during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The amount was recorded as a recorded as a component of Special charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 8. Special Charges for further information.

We have defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all U.S. employees and certain non-U.S. employees. The general purpose of these plans is to provide additional financial security in retirement by providing employees with an incentive to regularly save a portion of their earnings. Our contributions to the plans are based on eligibility and, in some cases, employee contributions. Expense under these plans was $7.3 million and $23.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and $7.3 million and $23.6 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Note 8. Special Charges

Special charges are incurred in connection with various transformative initiatives, exit activities, and organizational changes to improve our business alignment and cost structure. Although these charges are infrequent and unusual in nature, additional Special charges are expected to be incurred. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of these future expected costs until such time as the evaluations are complete. The following table summarizes the Special charges recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.


Special Charges	Three Months Ended June 30				Nine Months Ended June 30

Total Special Charges	$	5.9	$	9.5	$	40.1	$	26.1

Global Information Technology Transformation

In fiscal 2019, management initiated a global information technology transformation, including rationalizing and transforming our enterprise resource planning software solutions and other complementary information technology systems.

The objective of this initiative is to consolidate and streamline our key workstreams that interact with customers and vendors and support our financial reporting processes while maintaining the security of our data. The solutions designed under this initiative will be implemented over the next four to six years.

Workforce Reduction Plan

On September 15, 2020, we committed to a workforce reduction plan as part of the continued business optimization initiatives to advance our strategy and growth platforms and improve our operations and cost structure. The workforce reduction plan includes a voluntary retirement program and involuntary severance actions. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred $0.4 million and $24.0 million related to this initiative within Special charges.

Integration-Related Activities

We incurred costs, including severance and benefit costs, associated with business realignment and integration activities focused on reducing complexity, increasing efficiency, and improving our cost structure. We acquired several businesses as disclosed within Note 3. Business Combinations within the 2020 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 for which we also continue to incur integration-related costs and severance costs.

Site Consolidation and Other Cost Optimization Activities, Including Related Severance Cost

We continue to streamline our operations and simplify our supply chain by transforming and consolidating certain manufacturing and distribution operations.

For all accrued severance and other benefit charges described above, we record reserves within Other current liabilities. The following table summarizes the reserve activity for severance and other benefits for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.


Balance as of September 30, 2020	$	11.3
Expenses	21.8
Cash payments	(22.0)
Reversals	(0.1)
Balance as of June 30, 2021	$	11.0

Note 9. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 18.7% compared to 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The rate was lower for the three months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to lower foreign income subject to taxes in the United States compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was 18.2% compared to 17.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The rate was lower for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the favorable impact of excess tax benefits on deductible stock compensation compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was also favorably impacted by the reduction of the contingent consideration accrual of $8.4 million, that was not subject to tax.

Note 10. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period, plus the effect of deferred vested shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated consistent with the basic earnings per share calculation plus the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to stock-based employee compensation programs. For all periods presented, anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Cumulative treasury stock acquired, less cumulative shares reissued, have been excluded in determining the average number of shares outstanding.

Earnings per share are calculated as follows (share amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30				Nine Months Ended June 30
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net Income	$	49.2	$	93.9	$	195.1	$	180.6

Net Income per Basic Common Share	$	0.74	$	1.41	$	2.94	$	2.71

Net Income per Diluted Common Share	$	0.74	$	1.40	$	2.92	$	2.68

Average Basic Common Shares Outstanding	66,267		66,558		66,353		66,660
Add potential effect of exercise of stock options and other unvested equity awards	574		625		516		632
Average Diluted Common Shares Outstanding	66,841		67,183		66,869		67,292

Shares with anti-dilutive effect excluded from the computation of diluted EPS	265		291		467		298

Note 11. Segment Reporting

We disclose segment information that is consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. Our operating structure contains the following reportable segments:

•Patient Support Systems – globally provides an ecosystem of our digital and connected care solutions: devices, software, communications and integration technologies that improve care and deliver actionable insights to caregivers and patients in the acute care setting. Key products include care communications and mobility solutions, connected med-surg and ICU bed systems, sensors and surfaces, safe patient handling equipment and services.

•Front Line Care – globally provides integrated patient monitoring and diagnostic technologies – from hospital to home – that enable and support Hillrom’s connected care strategy. Our diverse portfolio includes secure, connected, digital assessment technologies to help diagnose, treat and manage a wide variety of illnesses and diseases, including respiratory therapy, cardiology, vision screening and physical assessment.

Table of Contents

•Surgical Solutions – globally enables peak procedural performance, connectivity and video integration products that improve collaboration, workflow, safety and efficiency in the operating room, such as surgical video technologies, tables, lights, pendants, precision positioning devices and other accessories.

Our performance within each reportable segment continues to be measured on a divisional income basis before non-allocated operating and administrative costs, litigation, special charges, acquisition and integration costs, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, and other unusual events. Divisional income generally represents the division’s gross profit, excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, less its direct operating costs along with an allocation of manufacturing and distribution costs, research and development, and certain corporate functional expenses.

Non-allocated operating costs, administrative costs, and other includes functional expenses that support the entire organization such as administration, finance, legal and human resources, expenses associated with strategic developments, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, and other events that are not indicative of operating trends. We exclude such amounts from divisional income to allow management to evaluate and understand divisional operating trends. The chief operating decision maker does not receive any asset information by reportable segment and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by reportable segment.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

General

We are subject to various claims and contingencies arising out of the normal course of business, including those relating to governmental investigations and proceedings, commercial transactions, product liability, employee related matters, antitrust, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company has received a subpoena from the United States Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services (the “DHHS”) requesting documents and information related to compliance with the False Claims Act (“FCA”) and the Anti-Kickback Statute (the “AKS”) by certain of its subsidiaries with respect to the Company’s direct to consumer business. The Company has voluntarily contacted DHHS with respect to these matters including its compliance with the FCA and the AKS. The Company is conducting an ongoing internal review and cooperating fully with the DHHS with respect to these matters.

At this stage of the inquiries, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of these matters or what impact, if any, the outcome of these matters might have on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Violations of the FCA and AKS may result in a range of possible penalties, however, at this time, no claims have been made against the Company.

As described in Note 3. Business Combinations, on February 28, 2021, Bardy filed a complaint against Hillrom in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware seeking, among other things, specific performance to compel Hillrom to close the Bardy Transaction.

On July 9, 2021, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware ordered Hillrom to proceed with the closing of the Bardy Transaction, denying Hillrom’s claim of a "Company Material Adverse Effect". Hillrom now anticipates closing of the Bardy Transaction on or about August 6, 2021. See Note 3. Business Combinations for additional information.

Self-Insurance

We are involved in various claims, including product and general liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability and employment related matters. Such claims in the United States have deductibles and self-insured retentions at various limits up to $1.0 million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. International deductibles and self-insured retentions are lower. We are also generally self-insured up to certain stop-loss limits for certain employee health benefits, including medical, drug, and dental. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and outside actuarial analysis, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Such estimated reserves are classified as Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements and our 2020 Form 10-K.

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a global medical technology leader whose approximately 10,000 employees have a single purpose: enhancing outcomes for patients and their caregivers by Advancing Connected Care™. Around the world, our innovations touch over 7 million patients each day. Our products and services help enable earlier diagnosis and treatment, optimize surgical efficiency and accelerate patient recovery while simplifying clinical communication and shifting care closer to home. We make these outcomes possible through connected smart beds, patient lifts, patient assessment and monitoring technologies, caregiver collaboration tools, respiratory health devices, advanced equipment for the surgical space and more, delivering actionable, real-time insights at the point of care.

The Impacts of COVID-19 on Hillrom

COVID-19 has impacted global economies as travel, leisure and discretionary consumer spending has reduced significantly causing companies to make commensurate changes to their investments, human capital, and financial outlooks. The United States and countries around the world continue to take precautionary and preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Prospects for an eventual path out of the crisis have improved as COVID-19 vaccines were authorized for use globally and governments began executing plans to distribute the vaccines to the public as supplies become available over the course of fiscal 2021. However, the timing of return to historical operating levels remains uncertain due to external factors such as policymaker decisions to remove certain restrictions, as they evaluate the continued infection rate and COVID-19 related deaths, the emergence of new variants of the virus, potential future outbreaks, the distribution of available vaccines, and people's willingness to take the vaccine.

Revenues and Customers

During the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to the same period in fiscal 2020, there was an increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations which resulted in higher demand globally for select products within Patient Support Systems such as intensive care unit and med-surg beds and specialty surfaces, including our rental portfolio. We also experienced higher than expected recovery in portions of our remaining portfolio that had previously been limited due to hospital access and physician practice restrictions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, there was lower demand globally for products used in the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The lower demand was due to declining COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the absence of the significant one-time COVID-19 purchases made during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This resulted in lower demand globally for intensive care unit and med-surg beds and specialty surfaces within Patient Support Systems and respiratory health ventilators within Front Line Care that were used in the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. As hospital access and physician practice restrictions continue to moderate in the primary markets we serve and return to more normal operating activities, we continue to experience an increase in revenue in our care communications business, Surgical Solutions business and products used within the physician practice setting.

For the fourth quarter of 2021, we expect product demand to reflect hospitals and physician practices return to more normal operating activities as effective efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 continue across the world. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we estimated that approximately $80.0 million of revenue recognized related to one-time COVID-19 purchases. The impact of these sales are described within our Results of Operations.

Operations and Workforce

The COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly impact Hillrom’s operations related to their workforce or supply chain. Our production facilities have remained open and employment levels have remained consistent. Many employees in our administrative functions have effectively worked remotely since mid-March 2020. In other areas of the business, we have adapted our processes and used technology to continue to effectively execute on our strategic priorities as well as daily operating activities. A workforce reintegration plan is underway to facilitate a return to the office. The reintegration plans

Table of Contents

included safety measures and procedures in compliance with local laws and regulations to ensure a safe work environment for employees that return to the office.

As disclosed in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we have benefited from government programs within the various jurisdictions in which we operate in the form of subsidies, incentives, cost relief and payment deferrals. Management will continue to evaluate these opportunities as well as the related requirements or restrictions to support our operations and workforce in a manner that allows us to continue to operate efficiently and effectively.

For further discussion, see the risk factor within PART I, Item 1.A Risk Factors, entitled “Our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related effects on public health.” within the 2020 Form 10-K.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we routinely provide operating margin, income before taxes, income tax expense and earnings per diluted share results on an adjusted basis as we believe these measures contribute to the understanding of our financial performance, provide additional analytical tools to understand our results from core operations and reveal underlying operating trends. These measures exclude strategic developments, acquisition and integration costs and related fair value adjustments, gains and losses associated with disposals of businesses or significant product lines, regulatory costs related to updating existing product registrations to comply with the European Medical Device Regulations, Special charges as described in Note 8. Special Charges of this Form 10-Q, the changes in tax accounting methods, and other tax law changes as described in Note 11. Income Taxes within the 2020 Form 10-K, expenses associated with these tax items, the impacts of significant litigation matters, certain impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other unusual events. We also exclude expenses associated with the amortization of purchased intangible assets. These adjustments are made to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding their impact on operating income and earnings per diluted share.

Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business. Investors

should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, we present certain results on a constant currency basis, which compares results between periods as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained consistent period-over-period. We monitor sales performance on an adjusted basis that eliminates the positive or negative effects that result from translating international sales into U.S. dollars. We calculate constant currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period. We believe that evaluating growth in net revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment to both management and investors.

Results of Operations

In this section, we provide an overview of our results of operations. We disclose segment information that is consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. Our operating structure contains the following reportable segments:

OUS - Outside of the United States

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

Consolidated Revenue

Product sales and service revenue decreased 7.3% on a reported basis, and 9.8% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demand globally for products used in the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The lower demand was due to declining COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the absence of the significant one-time COVID-19 purchases made during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This was offset by an increase in revenue in our care communications business, Surgical Solutions business and higher demand for products used within the physician practice setting as hospitals and physician offices restrictions continue to moderate in the primary markets we serve and return to more normal operating activities.

Rental revenue increased 0.6% on a reported basis, and decreased 0.5% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease on a constant currency basis was primarily driven by a reduction in the deployment of beds on a global basis within Patient Support Systems that related to hospital needs for COVID-19.

Business Segment Revenue

Patient Support Systems revenue decreased 16.0% on a reported basis, and 18.1% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by declining COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the absence of the significant one-time COVID-19 purchases made during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This led to lower demand globally for the intensive care unit and med-surg beds, specialty surfaces and our rental revenue. The decrease was partially offset by increases in revenue in our care communications business as hospital access restrictions continue to moderate in the primary markets we serve and return to more normal operating activities.

Front Line Care revenue increased 5.5% on a reported basis, and 3.0% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by sales of patient diagnostic products, such as vision care and cardiology as physician offices continue to return to more normal operating activities. This was partially offset by the absence of significant one-time COVID-19 purchases for respiratory health ventilators made during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Surgical Solutions revenue increased 12.0% on a reported basis, and 8.1% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by increased sales of operating room tables as hospitals continue to return to more normal operating activities.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2020

Consolidated Revenue

Product sales and service revenue increased 0.5% on a reported basis, and decreased 1.8% on a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease on a constant currency basis was primarily driven by the absence of the significant one-time COVID-19 purchases made during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was partially offset by higher demand globally for select products within Patient Support Systems due to an increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations during the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to the same period in fiscal 2020. This decrease was further offset by an increase in revenue in our care communications business, Surgical Solutions business and higher demand for products used within the physician practice setting as hospitals and physician offices restrictions continue to moderate in the primary markets we serve and return to more normal operating activities.

Rental revenue increased 15.6% on a reported basis, and 14.6% on a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the deployment of beds on a global basis within Patient Support Systems that related to hospital needs for COVID-19 patients.

Business Segment Revenue

Patient Support Systems revenue decreased 1.9% on a reported basis, and 3.8% on a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by the absence of the significant one-time COVID-19 purchases made during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 of intensive care unit and med-surg beds and specialty surfaces. The decrease was partially offset by higher demand globally for select products, including our rental portfolio, due to an increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations during the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was further offset by increases in revenue in our care communications business as hospital access restrictions continue to moderate in the primary markets we serve and return to more normal operating activities.

Front Line Care revenue increased 7.3% on a reported basis, and 5.3% on a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by global sales of patient monitoring and diagnostic products, including vision care and cardiology. The increase was partially offset by the absence of significant one-time COVID-19 purchases of respiratory health ventilators during the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Surgical Solutions revenue increased 4.9% on a reported basis, and 0.8% on a constant currency basis, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily driven by increased sales of operating room tables as hospitals begin to return to more normal operating activities, partially offset by the global exit of the original equipment manufacturer business.

Three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Three and nine months ended June 30, 2020

Product sales and service gross profit decreased by $33.8 million, or 9.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by lower demand globally of higher margin products used in the treatment of patients with COVID-19, offset by improved cost efficiencies within our supply chain operations.

Product sales and service gross profit increased by $7.1 million or 0.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by favorable product mix and improved cost efficiencies within our supply chain operations, partially offset by lower demand globally for those higher margin products used in the treatment of COVID-19 patients during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Rental gross profit decreased by $0.7 million, or 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 and remained consistent as a percentage of revenue. Rental gross profit increased by $35.8 million, or 30.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven by higher volumes and lower costs associated with servicing the Patient Support Systems rental portfolio due to increased rental durations related to hospital needs for COVID-19 patients.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $39.6 million or 6.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to higher variable compensation linked to performance, investments in resources related to growth initiatives internationally and within the Care Communications business, litigation expenses incurred related to the merger agreement with Bardy, and an increase in costs related to our IT transformation efforts. This is partially offset by a decrease in spending related business travel and marketing. See Note 3. Business Combinations for further information on the litigation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


	Nine Months Ended June 30
	2021		2020
Cash Flows (Used In) Provided By:
Operating activities	$	410.4	$	314.8
Investing activities	(96.6)		(90.4)
Financing activities	(342.2)		(527.7)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	4.4		1.3
Decrease in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	(24.0)	$	(302.0)

Net cash flows from operating activities and selected borrowings represent our primary sources of funds for growth of the business, including capital expenditures and acquisitions. Our financing agreements contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, the making of restricted payments and the occurrence of additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. None of our financing agreements contain any credit rating triggers that would increase or decrease our cost of borrowings. Credit rating changes can, however, impact the cost of borrowings and any potential future borrowings under any new financing agreements.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $95.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to improved working capital and higher net income. Improved working capital is driven by lower inventory levels and higher accrued expenses and other current liabilities due to increased accruals related to compensations, commissions and accrued FICA tax, partially offset by lower trade accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities increased by $6.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to cash paid related to the acquisition activity summarized in the following table.


Company or Assets Acquired	Date of Acquisition	Cash Paid
Intellectual property and technology of EarlySense, Ltd.	January 28, 2021	$	30.0

Excel Medical	January 10, 2020	$	13.1

Medical device integration and connectivity software programs, products, and solutions of Connecta	May 18, 2020	$	7.5

Also, included in capital spending is our global information technology transformation. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, $14.2 million and $13.0 million was capitalized as software in Other intangible assets and software, net related to the global information technology transformation initiative. See Note 3. Business Combinations and Note 8. Special Charges for further information.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities decreased $185.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to increased borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility of $125.0 million, lower debt redemptions of $125.0 million, offset by an increase in stock repurchases of $76.6 million in the open market during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2020. We used the increased borrowings and operating cash flows to redeem our senior unsecured 5.00% notes due February 2025 for $300.0 million and the related $7.5 million prepayment penalty for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. This compares to the redemption of our previously outstanding senior unsecured 5.75% notes due September 2023 for $425.0 million and the related $12.2 million prepayment penalty.

Other Liquidity Matters

Our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations may be used to fund strategic investments, business acquisitions, working capital needs, capital expenditures, investments in technology and marketing, share repurchases and payments of dividends to our shareholders. We believe that our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations, along with amounts available under our financing agreements, will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, and financing obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

Our cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 were not adversely impacted by COVID-19. There have been no changes to our cost of or access to our capital and funding sources. We have not identified instability with the financial institutions with whom we maintain our financing relationships. We believe we can continue to service our outstanding borrowings or other financial obligations.

We intend to continue to pursue inorganic growth in certain areas of our business. On January 28, 2021, we acquired the contact-free continuous monitoring intellectual property and technology from EarlySense Ltd. in exchange for consideration consisting of a cash payment of $30.0 million, a portion of our non-marketable equity investment in EarlySense Ltd. of $25.5 million and forgiveness of a prepayment of approximately $1.8 million as well as contingent consideration payable up to $10.0 million.

We have a liability of $6.7 million recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related to fair value of the contingent consideration that may be payable related to recent acquisitions. If all milestones are met, the maximum obligation would be $24.7 million, which would be paid based on the end of measurement periods over the next 3 fiscal years.

On January 15, 2021, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Hill-Rom, Inc., Barcelona Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Bardy Diagnostics, Inc. (“Bardy”) and Fortis Advisors LLC (as Equityholders’ Representative), providing for our acquisition of Bardy, a Delaware company that develops and delivers cardiac arrhythmia monitoring devices for $375.0 million, subject to closing conditions and certain post-closing adjustments. Additionally, contingent consideration will be payable based on the revenue generated from the acquired cardiac monitoring product during the first two calendar years starting with the calendar year in which the transaction is closed. The initial cash consideration would be funded through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility.

As a result of the Medicare Administrative Contractor, Novitas Solutions, new Category 1 reimbursement rates published on January 29, 2021 and subsequently on April 10, 2021, we asserted that a "Company Material Adverse Effect" occurred. Following a trial conducted during May 5-7, 2021, on July 9, 2021, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware ordered Hillrom to proceed with the closing of the Bardy Transaction, denying Hillrom’s claim of a "Company Material Adverse Effect". Hillrom now anticipates closing of the Bardy Transaction on or about August 6, 2021.

See "Note 3. Business Combinations" in the notes to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our recent business combination activity.

Our long-term debt instruments require nominal repayments over the next 12 months, with our next significant maturity occurring in August 2024. Hillrom extended its 364-day accounts receivable securitization facilities that now expires on April 22, 2022. On May 20, 2021, we redeemed all of our outstanding senior unsecured 5.00% notes due February 15, 2025 of $300.0 million using cash on hand and funds borrowed from both Securitization Facilities and the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our financing agreements. See Note 4. Financing Agreements for additional information on our financing agreements.

Over the long term, we intend to continue to pursue inorganic growth in certain areas of our business, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted.

On July 7, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an increase to the share repurchase program in an amount of $500.0 million, leaving the Company approximately $532.7 million of availability under the share repurchase program as of such date. This program does not have an expiration date and there are no plans to terminate this program in the future.

We intend to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends comparable to those paid in the periods covered by these financial statements. However, the declaration and payment of dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of our Board and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, covenants associated with debt obligations, legal requirements and other factors considered relevant by our Board.

As of June 30, 2021, approximately 72.9% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2021, our practice and intention were to reinvest the earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries outside of the United States to fund capital expenditures and other operating cash needs. Because the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested, no U.S. deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes have been provided on earnings subsequent to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). Future repatriations of cash and cash equivalents, if any, held by our foreign subsidiaries will generally not be subject to U.S. Federal tax if earned prior to the enactment of the Tax Act. As we evaluate the impact of the Tax Act and the future cash needs of our global operations, we may revise the amount of foreign earnings generated prior to the enactment of the Tax Act considered to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from U.S. operations, along with amounts available under our financing agreements, will be sufficient to fund U.S. operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department continue to release proposed guidance with respect to the Tax Act. We continue to evaluate what impact, if any, each piece of guidance may have on our related tax positions and our effective tax rate if, and when, such guidance is finalized.

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

There have not been any significant changes since September 30, 2020 impacting our contractual obligations and contingent liabilities and commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies require management to make significant estimates and assumptions using information available at the time the estimates are made. Such estimates and assumptions significantly affect various reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. If future experience differs significantly from these estimates and assumptions, our results of operations and financial condition could be affected. A detailed description of our accounting policies is included in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and the Critical Accounting Policies Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to such policies since September 30, 2020.

For a further summary of certain accounting policies and estimates and recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us, see Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates, collection risk associated with our accounts and notes receivable portfolio and variability in currency exchange rates. We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates in our international operations. Exposure to this variability is periodically managed primarily through the use of natural hedges, whereby funding obligations and assets are both managed in the local currency. From time-to-time, we enter into currency exchange contracts to manage exposures arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific and forecasted transactions. We operate this program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currencies. The maximum length of time over which we hedge transaction exposures is generally 12 months. Derivative gains and losses, initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are reclassified to earnings in the period when the transaction affects earnings.

Refer to Note 5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity for discussions and quantitative disclosures about our derivative agreements.

For additional information on market risks related to our pension plan assets, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the supervision and participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers and our Board of Directors, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.

There have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred in our most recent completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
