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 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 29, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year ending September 28, 2019.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which was subsequently amended. The Company adopted this standard as of September 30, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not complete as of September 30, 2018. The Company's adoption of ASC 606 is more fully described in Note 2.
In August 2018, the SEC issued the final rule on Regulation S-X, Rule 3-04 (Rule 3-04) requiring entities to disclose changes in stockholders equity in the form of a reconciliation for the current and comparative year-to-date interim periods, with subtotals for each interim period. The Company adopted Rule 3-04 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period in which the transfer occurs. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (see Note 10).
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230). The guidance reduces diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statements of Cash Flows. Certain of ASU 2016-15 requirements are as follows: 1) cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities, 2) contingent consideration payments made soon after a business combination should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities and cash payments made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing up to the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized at the acquisition date with any excess classified as operating activities, 3) cash proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the nature of the loss, 4) cash proceeds from the settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (COLI) Policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities and cash payments for premiums on COLI policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities, and 5) cash paid to a tax authority by an employer when withholding shares from an employee's award for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This guidance changes how entities measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method. Entities will be required to

10


measure these investments at fair value at the end of each reporting period and recognize changes in fair value in net income. A practicability exception will be available for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values (e.g. cost method investments), however, the exception requires the Company to consider relevant transactions that can be reasonably known to identify any observable price changes that would impact the fair value. This guidance also changes certain disclosure requirements and other aspects of current GAAP. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements
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 may require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events affecting the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019.

(2) Revenue

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606. The Company adopted the standard, which superseded ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605), as of September 30, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for contracts that were not complete as of September 30, 2018. Under this method, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard to its open contracts and recorded an adjustment to decrease the opening balance of accumulated deficit within stockholders' equity by $6.4 million, which is net of taxes of $2.4 million, as of September 30, 2018 (the first day of fiscal 2019). The cumulative effect adjustment was primarily due to the Company applying the principles of ASC 606 to contracts for which the Company had deferred revenue as of September 29, 2018 for collectability uncertainty and providing extended payment terms resulting in the fee not being fixed or determinable under ASC 605. Under ASC 606, revenue from certain arrangements may be recognized earlier than under ASC 605 as a result of the ability to apply additional judgment in evaluating collectability and the elimination of the requirement to assess whether a fee is fixed or determinable, specifically as it relates to providing customers with extended payment terms. Results for reporting periods beginning September 30, 2018 and after are presented in accordance with ASC 606. Prior period results were not adjusted and will continue to be reported in accordance with the legacy GAAP requirements of ASC 605. As the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s revenue recorded in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019, transitional disclosures have not been presented.

The Company generates revenue from the sale of its products, primarily medical imaging systems and related components and software, medical aesthetic treatment systems, diagnostic tests/assays and surgical disposable products, and related services, which are primarily support and maintenance services on its medical imaging systems and aesthetic treatment systems, and to a lesser extent installation, training and repairs. The Company's products are sold primarily through a direct sales force, and within international markets, there is more reliance on distributors and resellers. Revenue is recorded net of sales tax. The following table provides revenue from contracts with customers by business and geographic region on a disaggregated basis:

The Company considers revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met: the Company has a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; promised products or services are identified; the transaction price, or the amount the Company expects to receive, including an estimate of uncertain amounts subject to a constraint to ensure revenue is not recognized in an amount that would result in a significant reversal upon resolution of the uncertainty, is determinable; and the Company has transferred control of the promised items to the customer. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the contract. The transaction price for the contract is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the goods and services expected to be transferred. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, control of the distinct good or service is transferred. Transfer of control for the Company's products is generally at shipment or delivery, depending on contractual terms, but occurs when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer which represents the

13


point in time when the customer obtains the use of and substantially all of the remaining benefit of the product. The Company recognizes a receivable when it has an unconditional right to payment. Payment terms are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets. The Company treats shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and records these costs within costs of product revenue when the corresponding revenue is recognized. The Company's performance obligation related to product sales is satisfied at a point in time. Revenue from support and maintenance contracts, extended warranty and professional services for installation, training and repairs is recognized over time based on the period contracted or as the services are performed as these methods represent a faithful depiction of the transfer of goods and services.

The Company also places instruments (or equipment) at customer sites but retains title to the instrument. The customer has the right to use the instrument for a period of time, and the Company recovers the cost of providing the instrument through the sales of disposables, namely tests and assays in Diagnostics and handpieces in GYN Surgical. These types of agreements include an embedded operating lease for the right to use an instrument and no instrument revenue is recognized at the time of instrument delivery. The Company recognizes a portion of the revenue allocated to the embedded lease concurrent with the sale of disposables over the term of the agreement.

Some of the Company's contracts have multiple performance obligations. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The Company determines its best estimate of stand-alone selling price using average selling prices over 3 to 12 month periods of data depending on the products or nature of the services coupled with current market considerations. If the product or service does not have a history of sales or if sales volume is not sufficient, the Company relies on prices set by its pricing committees or applicable marketing department adjusted for expected discounts.

Variable Consideration

The Company exercises judgment in estimating variable consideration, which includes volume discounts, sales rebates, product returns and other adjustments. These amounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue and classified as a current liability. The Company bases its estimates for volume discounts and sales rebates on historical information to the extent it is reasonable to be used as a predictive tool of expected future rebates. To the extent the transaction price includes variable consideration, the Company applies judgment in constraining the estimated variable consideration due to factors that may cause reversal of revenue recognized. The Company evaluates constraints based on its historical and projected experience with similar customer contracts.
    
The Company's contracts typically do not provide for product returns. In general, estimates of variable consideration and constraints are not material to the Company's financial statements.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 29, 2019, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied was approximately $371.7 million. This remaining performance obligation primarily relates to extended warranty and support and maintenance obligations in the Company's Breast Health, Skeletal Health and Medical Aesthetics reportable segments. The Company expects to recognize approximately 12% of this amount as revenue in 2019, 33% in 2020, 24% in 2021, 19% in 2022, and 12% thereafter. The Company has applied the practical expedient to not include remaining performance obligations related to contracts with original expected durations of one year or less in the amounts above.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The Company discloses accounts receivable separately in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their net realizable value. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's conditional right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. Contract assets at the beginning and end of the period, as well as the changes in the balance, were immaterial.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. The Company records a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when it has an obligation to provide service, and to a much lesser extent product, to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of performance. Deferred revenue primarily relates to support and maintenance contracts and extended warranty obligations within the Company's Breast Health, Medical Aesthetics and Skeletal Health reportable segments. Contract liabilities are classified as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recognized revenue of $37.7 million and $134.8 million in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, that was included in the contract liability balance at September 29, 2018.

Practical Expedients

With the adoption of ASC 606, the Company elected to apply certain permitted practical expedients. In evaluating the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, the Company adopted the standard only for contracts that were not complete as of the date of adoption. For contracts that were modified prior to the adoption date, the Company elected to present the aggregate effect of all contract modifications in determining the transaction price and for the allocation to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations.

The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs solely comprise sales commissions and typically the commissions are incurred at the time of shipment of product and upon billings for support and maintenance contracts.

(3) Fair Value Measurements
Assets/Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company has investments in derivative instruments consisting of interest rate caps and forward foreign currency contracts, which are valued using analyses obtained from independent third party valuation specialists based on market observable inputs, representing Level 2 assets. The fair values of the Company's interest rate caps and forward foreign currency contracts represent the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion and information on the interest rate caps and forward foreign currency contracts.

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 consist of equity investments and long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. There were no such remeasurements for equity investments in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company identified indicators of impairment related to its long-lived assets of its Medical Aesthetics reportable segment and recorded impairment charges of $443.8 million, of which $437.0 million was allocated to intangible assets and $6.8 million was allocated to equipment. These are level 3 measurements. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded impairment charges of $46.0 million and $685.7 million to write-off an in-process research and development intangible asset and goodwill, respectively, related to its Medical Aesthetics reportable segment. As a result of these charges, the remaining carrying value of each asset is zero. These are level 3 measurements. See Note 14 for additional information.
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments mainly consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, equity investments, interest rate caps, forward foreign currency contracts, insurance contracts, accounts payable and debt obligations. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair

15


value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s interest rate caps and forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at fair value. The carrying amount of the insurance contracts is recorded at the cash surrender value, as required by GAAP, which approximates fair value. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its equity investments approximate fair value.
Amounts outstanding under the Company’s 2018 Credit Agreement (as defined below) and Securitization Program of $1.5 billion and $234.0 million aggregate principal, respectively, as of June 29, 2019 are subject to variable interest rates, which are based on current market rates, and as such, the Company believes the carrying amount of these obligations approximates fair value. The Company’s 2025 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes had fair values of $963.1 million and $406.0 million, respectively, as of June 29, 2019 based on their trading prices, representing Level 1 measurements. Refer to Note 6 for the carrying amounts of the various components of the Company’s debt.

(4) Business Combinations

Emsor, S.A.

On December 11, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Emsor S.A. ("Emsor") for a purchase price of $16.3 million, which included a hold-back of $0.5 million that was paid eighteen months from the date of acquisition, and contingent consideration which the Company estimated at $4.9 million as of the measurement date. The contingent consideration is payable upon Emsor achieving predefined amounts of cumulative revenue over a two-year period from the date of acquisition. Emsor was a distributor of the Company's Breast and Skeletal Health products in Spain and Portugal. Based on the Company's valuation, it allocated $4.6 million of the purchase price to the value of customer relationship intangible assets and $5.7 million to goodwill. The remaining $6.0 million of purchase price was allocated to acquired tangible assets and liabilities.

Faxitron

On July 31, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Faxitron Bioptics, LLC ("Faxitron") for a purchase price of $89.5 million, which included hold-backs of $11.7 million payable up to one year from the date of acquisition, and contingent consideration, which the Company estimated at $2.9 million as of the measurement date. The contingent consideration is payable upon Faxitron meeting certain revenue growth metrics. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, $2.6 million of the hold-back was paid. Faxitron, headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, develops, manufactures, and markets digital radiography systems. Faxitron's results of operations are reported in the Company's Breast Health reportable segment from the date of acquisition.

The total purchase price was allocated to Faxitron's preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values of those assets as of July 31, 2018, as set forth below. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Faxitron's business. The Company has not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, primarily taxes, to finalize the purchase price allocation.    

As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company has determined the identifiable intangible assets are developed technology, in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), customer relationships, and trade names. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using rates ranging from 17% to 19%. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average life for both developed technology and customer relationships is 9 years and for trade names it is 7 years. The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill are based on synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from this acquisition. Benefits include the expectation of broadening the Company's Breast Health portfolio of products and technology. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Focal Therapeutics

On October 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Focal Therapeutics, Inc. ("Focal") for a purchase price of $120.1 million, which included hold-backs of $14.0 million payable up to one year from the date of acquisition. In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, $1.5 million of the hold-back was paid. Focal, headquartered in California, manufactures and markets its BioZorb marker, which is an implantable three-dimensional marker that helps clinicians overcome certain challenges in breast conserving surgery.

The total purchase price was allocated to Focal's preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values of those assets as of October 1, 2018, as set forth below. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:

The Company has not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, primarily intangible assets and taxes, to finalize the purchase price allocation.    

As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company has determined the identifiable intangible assets are developed technology, in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), and trade names. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using rates ranging from 15.5% to 16.5%. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital. The weighted average life of developed technology and trade names is 11 years and 13 years, respectively. The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible

assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill are based on synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from this acquisition. Benefits include the expectation of broadening the Company's Breast Health portfolio of products and technology. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

SuperSonic Imagine

On June 20, 2019, the Company announced it had entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire SuperSonic Imagine ("SSI") resulting in aggregate cash payments of approximately $85 million, which includes paying off SSI's outstanding debt. SSI is headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, France and specializes in ultrasound medical imaging. The expected structure of the transaction will result in the Company acquiring approximately 46% of SSI's outstanding shares in August 2019, and then subsequently, the Company will file a cash tender offer for all remaining outstanding shares of SSI. This tender offer, which is expected to be completed by the end of calender 2019, may be followed by a mandatory buy-out of any remaining outstanding shares if the applicable legal and regulatory requirements are met.

Fiscal 2019 Actions    
During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, the Company decided to transfer certain shared services positions to its Costa Rica facility from its Marlborough location and announced the termination of approximately 24 personnel and made other employee termination actions. The charges for these actions are being recorded pursuant to ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420) for one-time termination benefits. The Company recorded restructuring expenses of $1.0 million, $1.3 million and $1.1 million in the first, second and third quarters of 2019, respectively. The Company expects to record approximately $0.5 million in charges in future quarters as a result of service requirements during the transition period.
Fiscal 2018 Actions
During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, the Company decided to terminate certain employees across the organization, including a corporate executive and primarily sales and marketing personnel in its Diagnostics and Medical Aesthetics reportable segments. The charges were recorded pursuant to ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits (ASC 712) or ASC 420 depending on the employee. As such, the Company recorded severance benefits charges of $3.8 million, $1.8 million and $2.3 million in the first, second and third quarters, respectively. Included within the first quarter charge is $1.3 million related to the modification of equity awards.

During fiscal 2018, the Company finalized its decision and plan to consolidate its legacy international accounting and customer service organizations into its Manchester, UK location and eliminated these positions in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Germany. This transition was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and these employees were terminated. During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded $2.2 million for severance benefits pursuant to both ASC 712 and ASC 420 depending on the legal requirements on a country by country basis. The Company recorded an additional $1.0 million in fiscal 2019 for the remaining pro-rata charges. This plan is completed.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company decided to close its Hicksville, New York facility where it manufactured certain Cynosure products. In connection with this plan, certain employees, primarily in manufacturing, were terminated. The employees were notified of termination and related benefits in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and the Company recorded these charges pursuant to ASC 420. Employees were required to remain employed during this transition period and charges were recorded ratably over the required service period. The Company recorded a total of $0.5 million in severance benefits charges in fiscal 2018. The Company recorded an additional $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 for the remaining pro-rata charges and this action was completed in January 2019.
    
In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company determined it would not use warehouse space located on Lyberty Way in Westford, Massachusetts. The Company met the cease use date criteria in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and estimated the time period to sublet the space and related sublease rates resulting in a lease obligation charge of $0.9 million. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company executed a termination agreement with the landlord and agreed to pay a termination payment of $0.6 million resulting in a benefit of $0.2 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Fiscal 2016 Actions
In connection with the closure of the Bedford, Massachusetts facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded $3.5 million for lease obligation charges related to the first floor of the facility as the Company determined it had met the cease-use date criteria. The Company made certain assumptions regarding the time period it would take to obtain a subtenant and the sublease rates it can obtain. During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company updated its assumption regarding the time period it would take to obtain a subtenant at the Bedford location and as a result recorded an additional $1.3 million lease obligation charge. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company further adjusted its assumptions and lowered the estimate of the sublease income rate and extended the time period to obtain a sub-tenant. As a result, the Company recorded an additional charge of $1.6 million. During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company further updated its assumption regarding its ability to sublet the first floor and recorded an additional lease obligation charge of $1.4 million. The Company has partially vacated other portions of the building but not the entire facility, and at this time does not meet the cease-use date criteria to record additional restructuring charges for this facility.

2018 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 17, 2018, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries refinanced its term loan and revolving credit facility by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement as of December 17, 2018 (the "2018 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders. The 2018 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's prior credit and guaranty agreement as of October 3, 2017 ("2017 Credit Agreement").

The credit facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement consist of:

A $1.5 billion secured term loan ("2018 Amended Term Loan") with a maturity date of December 17, 2023; and
A secured revolving credit facility ("2018 Amended Revolver"; together with the 2018 Amended Term Loan, the "Amended Credit Facilities") under which the Company may borrow up to $1.5 billion, subject to certain sublimits, with a maturity date of December 17, 2023.

The Company initially borrowed $350 million under the 2018 Amended Revolver. This initial borrowing, together with the net proceeds of the 2018 Amended Term Loan, were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the term loan and revolving credit facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option and in each case plus an applicable margin as follows:

2018 Amended Term Loan: at the Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, 
2018 Amended Revolver: if funded in U.S. dollars, the Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate, or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, and, if funded in an alternative currency, the Eurocurrency Rate; and if requested under the swing line sublimit, the Base Rate.

The applicable margin to the Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate, or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is subject to specified changes depending on the total net leverage ratio as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement. The borrowings of the 2018 Amended Term Loan initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Eurocurrency Rate (i.e., the LIBOR rate) plus an Applicable Rate equal to 1.375%. The borrowings of the 2018 Amended Revolver initially bear interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus an Applicable Rate equal to 1.375%. The Company is also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee calculated on the undrawn committed amount available under the 2018 Amended Revolver.

The Company is required to make scheduled principal payments under the 2018 Amended Term Loan in increasing amounts ranging from $9.375 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending on December 27, 2019 to $28.125 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending on December 29, 2022 and ending on September 29, 2023. The remaining balance of the 2018 Amended Term Loan after the scheduled principal payments, which is $1.2 billion as of June 29, 2019, and any amounts outstanding under the 2018 Amended

20


Revolver are due at maturity. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2018 Credit Agreement, the Company may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales (subject to certain reinvestment rights), debt issuances and insurance recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment rights). These mandatory prepayments are required to be applied by the Company, first, to the 2018 Amended Term Loan, second, to any outstanding amount under any Swing Line Loans, third, to the 2018 Amended Revolver, fourth to prepay any outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and fifth, to cash collateralize any Letters of Credit. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may voluntarily prepay any of the 2018 Credit Facilities without premium or penalty.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants restricting the ability of the Company, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and grant additional liens on its assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, and change the nature of their businesses. In addition, the 2018 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The 2018 Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults and an event of default upon a change of control of the Company.

Borrowings are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the Company, with certain exceptions. For example, borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement are not secured by those accounts receivable that are transferred to the special purpose entity under the Company's Accounts Receivable Securitization program. The 2018 Credit Agreement contains total net leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio financial covenants measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The total net leverage ratio covenant was 5.00:1.00 beginning on the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2018, and remains as such until it decreases to 4.50:1.00 for the quarter ending June 25, 2022. The interest coverage ratio covenant was 3.75:1.00 beginning on the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2018, and remains as such for each quarter thereafter. The total net leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of the Company's consolidated net debt as of the quarter end to its consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) for the four-fiscal quarter period ending on the measurement date. The interest coverage ratio is defined as the ratio of the Company's consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the prior four-fiscal quarter period ending on the measurement date to adjusted consolidated cash interest expense (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) for the same measurement period. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 29, 2019.

The Company evaluated the 2018 Credit Agreement for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and identified embedded derivatives that required bifurcation as the features are not clearly and closely related to the host instrument. The embedded derivatives were a default provision, which could require additional interest payments, and a provision requiring contingent payments to compensate the lenders for changes in tax deductions. The Company determined that the fair value of these embedded derivatives was nominal as of June 29, 2019.

Pursuant to ASC 470, Debt (ASC 470), the accounting related to entering into the 2018 Credit Agreement and using the proceeds to pay off the 2017 Credit Agreement was 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 2017 Credit Agreement did not participate in this refinancing transaction and ceased being creditors of the Company. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. For the remainder of the creditors, this transaction was accounted for as a modification because on a creditor-by-creditor basis the present value of the cash flows between the two debt instruments before and after the transaction was less than 10%. We accounted for the amendments pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40, and third-party costs of $0.8 million related to this transaction were recorded as interest expense and $1.9 million was recorded as a reduction to debt representing deferred issuance costs and debt discount for fees paid directly to the lenders.

2017 Credit Agreement
On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. and certain other lenders. The 2017 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's prior credit and guaranty agreement, originally dated as of May 29, 2015 (the "Prior Credit Agreement"). The proceeds under the 2017 Credit Agreement of $1.8 billion were used, among other things, to pay off the Term Loan of $1.32 billion and the Revolver then outstanding under the Company's Prior Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to ASC 470, the accounting for the 2017 Credit Agreement was evaluated consistent with that described above. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to those creditors under the Prior Credit Agreement who ceased being creditors under the 2017 Credit Agreement For the remainder of

21


the creditors, this transaction was accounted for as a modification and pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40, third-party costs of $1.7 million related to this transaction were recorded as interest expense.

Interest expense, weighted average interest rate, and interest rate at the end of period under the 2018 and 2017 Credit Agreements in fiscal 2019, and the 2017 Credit Agreement in fiscal 2018 were as follows:

Senior Notes

On October 10, 2017, the Company completed a private placement of $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes") at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes.

On January 19, 2018, the Company completed a private placement of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, allocated between (i) an additional $600 million aggregate principal amounts of its 2025 Senior Notes pursuant to a supplement to the indenture governing the Company's existing 2025 Senior Notes at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes and (ii) $400 million aggregate principal amounts of its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes") at an offering price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes.

2022 Senior Notes

At December 30, 2017, the Company had 5.250% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”) outstanding that bore interest at the rate of 5.250% per year, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Company used the net proceeds of the 2025 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes offering in January 2018, plus available cash, to redeem in full the 2022 Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion on February 15, 2018 at an aggregate redemption price of $1.04 billion, including a make-whole provision payment $37.7 million. Since the Company planned to use the proceeds from the 2025 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes offering to redeem the 2022 Senior Notes, the Company evaluated the accounting for this transaction under ASC 470 to determine modification versus extinguishment accounting on a creditor-by-creditor basis. Certain 2022 Senior Note holders either did not participate in this refinancing transaction or reduced their holdings and these transactions were accounted for as extinguishments. As a result, the Company recorded a debt extinguishment loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 of $44.9 million, which comprised pro-rata amounts of the make-whole provision premium payment, debt discount and debt issuance costs. For the remaining 2022 Senior Notes holders who participated in the refinancing, these transactions were accounted for as modifications because on a creditor-by-creditor basis the present value of the cash flows between the debt instruments before and after the transaction was less than 10%. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a portion of the transaction expenses of $2.6 million to interest expense pursuant to ASC 470, subtopic 50-40. The remaining debt issuance costs of $1.5 million and debt discount of $1.5 million related to the modified debt were allocated between the 2025 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes on a pro-rata basis, and will be amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

2025 Senior Notes

The total aggregate principal balance of 2025 Senior Notes is $950 million. The 2025 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries and mature on October 15, 2025.

2028 Senior Notes
    
The aggregate principal balance of the 2028 Senior Notes is $400 million. The 2028 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain domestic subsidiaries and mature on February 1, 2028.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

Effective April 18, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the Securitization Program an additional year to April 17, 2020. Under the amendment, the maximum borrowing amount increased from $225.0 million to $250.0 million. As of June 29, 2019, there was $234.0 million outstanding under this program.

(7) Derivatives
Interest Rate Cap - Cash Flow Hedge
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages its exposure to some of its interest rate risk through the use of interest rate caps, which are derivative financial instruments. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. For a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. To the extent there is any hedge ineffectiveness, changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion are immediately recognized in earnings in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into separate interest rate cap agreements with multiple counter-parties to help mitigate the interest rate volatility associated with the variable interest rate on amounts borrowed under the term loan feature of its credit facilities (see Note 6). Interest rate cap agreements provide the right to receive cash if the reference interest rate rises above a contractual rate. The aggregate premium paid for the interest rate cap agreements was $1.9 million, which was the initial fair value of the instruments recorded in the Company's financial statements.
During fiscal 2018, the Company entered into additional separate interest rate cap agreements with multiple counter-parties to extend the expiration date of its hedges by an additional year. The aggregate premium paid for these interest rate cap agreements was $3.7 million, which was the initial fair value of the instruments recorded in the Company's financial statements.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company entered into new separate interest rate cap agreements with multiple counter-parties to extend the expiration date of its hedges by an additional year. The aggregate premium paid for these interest cap agreements was $1.5 million, which was the initial fair value of the instruments recorded in the Company’s financial statements.    
The critical terms of the interest rate caps were designed to mirror the terms of the Company’s LIBOR-based borrowings under its Credit Agreements and therefore are highly effective at offsetting the cash flows being hedged. The Company designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on $1.0 billion of principal, which ended on December 28, 2018 for the contracts entered into in fiscal 2017, and which will end on December 27, 2019 and December 23, 2020 for the interest rate cap agreements entered into in fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, respectively.
As of June 29, 2019, the Company determined that the existence of hedge ineffectiveness, if any, was immaterial, and all changes in the fair value of the interest rate caps were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a component of AOCI.
During the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the Company reclassified $0.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, and $0.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the interest rate cap agreements. The Company expects to similarly reclassify a loss of approximately $3.0 million from AOCI to the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the next twelve months.

23


The aggregate fair value of these interest rate caps was $0.4 million and $7.7 million at June 29, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively, and is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note 3 “Fair Value Measurements” above for related fair value disclosures.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate certain operational exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company's operations that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, the UK Pound, the Australian dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen. These foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to support transactions made in the ordinary course of business and are not speculative in nature. The contracts are generally for periods of one year or less. The Company has not elected hedge accounting for any of the forward foreign currency contracts it has executed; however, the Company may seek to apply hedge accounting in future scenarios. The change in the fair value of these contracts is recognized directly in earnings as a component of other income (expense), net. During the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded net realized gains of $3.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively, from settling forward foreign currency contracts and net unrealized losses of $2.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, on the mark-to-market for its outstanding forward foreign currency contracts. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded net realized losses of $0.3 million and $2.6 million, respectively, from settling forward foreign currency contracts and unrealized gains of $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, on the mark-to-market for its outstanding forward foreign currency contracts.
As of June 29, 2019, the Company had outstanding forward foreign currency contracts that were not designated for hedge accounting and were used to hedge fluctuations in the U.S. dollar of forecasted transactions denominated in the Euro, UK Pound, Australian dollar, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen with an aggregate notional amount of $76.6 million.

(8) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and Related Matters
    
On November 6, 2015, the Company filed a suit against Minerva Surgical, Inc. (“Minerva”) in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that Minerva’s endometrial ablation device infringes U.S. Patent 6,872,183 (the '183 patent), U.S. Patent 8,998,898 and U.S. Patent 9,095,348 (the '348 patent). On January 25, 2016, the Company amended the complaint to include claims against Minerva for unfair competition, deceptive trade practices and tortious interference with business relationships. On February 5, 2016, the Company filed a second amended complaint to additionally allege that Minerva’s endometrial ablation device infringes U.S. Patent 9,247,989 (the '989 patent). On March 4, 2016, Minerva filed an answer and counterclaims against the Company, seeking declaratory judgment on the Company’s claims and asserting claims against the Company for unfair competition, deceptive trade practices, interference with contractual relationships, breach of contract and trade libel. On June 2, 2016, the Court denied the Company’s motion for a preliminary injunction on its patent claims and denied Minerva’s request for preliminary injunction related to the Company’s alleged false and deceptive statements regarding the Minerva product. On June 28, 2018, the Court granted the Company's summary judgment motions on infringement and no invalidity with respect to the ‘183 and ‘348 patents. The Court also granted the Company’s motion for summary judgment on assignor estoppel, which bars Minerva’s invalidity defenses or any reliance on collateral findings regarding invalidity from inter partes review proceedings. The Court also denied all of Minerva’s defenses, including its motions for summary judgment on invalidity, non-infringement, no willfulness, and no unfair competition. On July 27, 2018, after a two-week trial, a jury returned a verdict that: (1) awarded the Company $4.8 million in damages for Minerva’s infringement; (2) found that Minerva’s infringement was not willful; and (3) found for the Company regarding Minerva’s counterclaims. Damages will continue to accrue until Minerva ceases its infringing conduct. On May 2, 2019, the Court issued rulings that denied the parties' post-trial motions, including the Company's motion for a permanent injunction seeking to prohibit Minerva from selling infringing devices. Both parties appealed the Court's rulings regarding the post-trial motions, which remains pending. On March 4, 2016, Minerva filed two petitions at the USPTO for inter partes review of the '348 patent. On September 12, 2016, the PTAB declined both petitions to review patentability of the ‘348 patent. On April 11, 2016, Minerva filed a petition for inter partes review of the '183 patent. On October 6, 2016, the PTAB granted the petition and instituted a review of the '183 patent. On December 15, 2017, the PTAB issued a final written decision invalidating all claims of the ‘183 patent. On February 9, 2018 the Company appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Court of Appeals"). On April 19, 2019, the Court of Appeals affirmed the PTAB's final written decision regarding the '183 patent. On July 16, 2019, the Court of Appeals denied the Company’s petition for rehearing in the appeal regarding the '183 patent.
    
On April 11, 2017, Minerva filed suit against the Company and Cytyc Surgical Products, LLC (“Cytyc”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that the Company’s and Cytyc’s NovaSure ADVANCED endometrial ablation device infringes Minerva’s U.S. patent 9,186,208. Minerva is seeking a preliminary and permanent injunction against the Company and Cytyc from selling this NovaSure device as well as enhanced damages and interest,

25


including lost profits, price erosion and/or royalty. On January 5, 2018, the Court denied Minerva's motion for a preliminary injunction. On February 2, 2018, at the parties’ joint request, this action was transferred to the District of Delaware. On March 26, 2019, the Court issued a claim construction ruling regarding the disputed terms in the patent. Trial is scheduled for July 20, 2020. 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 January 30, 2012 and March 6, 2012, Enzo Life Sciences, Inc. ("Enzo") filed suit against the Company and its subsidiary, Gen-Probe Incorporated ("Gen-Probe"), in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain of Gen-Probe’s diagnostics products, including products that incorporate Gen-Probe’s hybridization protection assay technology (HPA), infringe Enzo’s U.S. patent 6,992,180 (the '180 patent). On July 16, 2012, Enzo amended its complaint to include additional products that include HPA or TaqMan reagent chemistry. Both complaints sought preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and unspecified damages. On March 27, 2015, Enzo filed an additional suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that certain additional Company molecular diagnostic products also infringe the '180 patent. The complaint further alleged that certain of the Company’s molecular diagnostic products using target capture technology infringed Enzo’s U.S. Patent 7,064,197 (the '197 patent). On October 3, 2016, Enzo filed an additional suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that products employing the Company's proprietary target capture technologies infringed U.S. Patent 6,221,581 (the '581 patent). The Court granted Enzo’s motion to file an amended complaint adding Grifols Diagnostic Solutions Inc. and Grifols, S.A. (“Grifols”) as parties on November 9, 2017. On April 16, 2019, Enzo and the Company entered into a Settlement and License Agreement, along with Grifols Diagnostics Solutions Inc. and Grifols, S.A. (collectively “Grifols"), to resolve all litigation among them. Under the Settlement Agreement, Enzo granted the Company and Grifols a fully-paid up, royalty-free, non-exclusive and non-transferable (except in certain limited circumstances) world-wide license regarding the '180 patent. Enzo also granted the Company and Grifols a covenant not to sue on certain products, as defined in the Agreement. In exchange, the Company and Grifols agreed to pay Enzo $10.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for a total amount of $14.0 million. The Company recorded the $10.5 million charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

On February 3, 2017, bioMérieux, S.A. and bioMérieux, Inc. (collectively “bioMérieux”) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina ("MDNC"), alleging that the Company’s HIV products, including blood screening products previously manufactured by the Company for its former blood screening partner Grifols Diagnostic Solutions Inc. ("Grifols USA"), infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 8,697,352 and 9,074,262. On January 3, 2018, the MDNC Court granted the parties’ consent motion to transfer the case to Delaware. On May 31, 2018, the Company filed a motion to sever and stay their arbitrable license defense. On June 11, 2019, the Court issued a claim construction ruling regarding the disputed terms in the patents. Trial is scheduled for February 18, 2020. The Company filed petitions for inter partes review of the asserted patents on February 6, 2018. The USPTO denied the Company’s petitions for inter partes review in August and September, 2018. The Company filed requests for rehearing of the denial orders, which requests were denied. 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 range of estimates, of potential losses.

On July 27, 2016, plaintiff ARcare, Inc., individually and as putative representative of a purported nationwide class, filed a complaint against Cynosure. The plaintiff alleges that Cynosure violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by: (i) sending fax advertisements that did not comply with statutory and Federal Communications Commission requirements that senders provide recipients with certain information about how to opt out from receiving faxed advertisements in the future; and (ii) sending unsolicited fax advertisements. The complaint sought damages, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees on behalf of a purported class of all recipients of purported fax advertisements that the plaintiff alleges did not receive an adequate opt-out notice. On September 30, 2016, Cynosure answered the complaint and denied liability. On September 7, 2016, the plaintiff sent a demand letter seeking a class settlement for statutory damages under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 93A § 9 (“Chapter 93A”). On October 7, 2016, Cynosure responded denying any liability under Chapter 93A, but offering the plaintiff statutory damages of $25 on an individual basis. In March 2017, Cynosure and ARcare entered into a settlement agreement, subject to court approval, which requires Cynosure to pay settlement compensation of $8.5 million notwithstanding the number of claims filed. If approved, Cynosure would receive a full release from the settlement class concerning the conduct alleged in the complaint. On March 14, 2019, the Court entered an order providing preliminary approval of the settlement. During a hearing on July 11, 2019, the Court requested additional information from the parties in assessing whether to grant final approval of the settlement. As a result of the settlement agreement, Cynosure recorded a charge of $9.2 million, in the period ended December 31, 2016, which continues to be accrued as of June 29, 2019.
    
On June 26 and 28, 2017, the Company filed suit against FUJIFILM Corp., FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc., and FUJIFILM Techno Products Co., Ltd. (collectively “Fujifilm”) in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut and the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC”), respectively, alleging that Fujifilm’s Aspire Cristalle mammography system infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 7,831,296; 8,452,379; 7,688,940; and 7,986,765. The Company

26


seeks preliminary and permanent injunctions and an exclusion order against Fujifilm from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing into the United States allegedly infringing product and also seeks enhanced damages and interest. A hearing was held at the ITC before an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) from April 9, 2018 to April 13, 2018. On July 26, 2018, the ALJ issued an initial determination finding that Fujifilm infringed all of the patents brought to trial and rejected Fujifilm’s defenses against these patents. The ALJ recommended an exclusion order that prevents the importation of infringing Fujifilm products into the United States, as well as a cease-and-desist order preventing the further sale and marketing of infringing Fujifilm products in the United States. On January 25, 2019, the parties entered into a Patent Cross License and Settlement Agreement to resolve all litigation among the parties. Under the agreement, in consideration of the licenses, releases, non-asserts and other immunities that the parties granted to each other, Fujifilm agreed to pay the Company an upfront fee and an ongoing royalty related to the sale of Fujifilm’s mammography system. The execution of the settlement agreement was not material to the Company's results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

On March 2, 2018, FUJIFILM Corporation and FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. (collectively “Fujifilm2”) filed suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that certain of the Company’s mammography systems infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 7,453,979; 7,639,779; RE44,367; and 8,684,948. Fujifilm2 further alleges that the Company violated United States antitrust laws and Delaware competition laws regarding the sale of certain of the Company’s mammography systems. Fujifilm2 seeks injunctive relief and unspecified monetary damages including statutory treble damages for certain claims. The parties agreed to resolve all litigation among them, including this case, pursuant to the Patent Cross License and Settlement Agreement described in the preceding paragraph.

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 matters described above there are no other proceedings or claims pending against it the ultimate resolution of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. In all cases, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company granted 0.9 million and 0.8 million restricted stock units (RSUs) during the nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, with weighted-average grant date fair values of $41.15 and $40.68 per unit, respectively. In addition, the Company granted 0.1 million and 0.6 million performance stock units (PSUs) during the nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively, to members of its senior management team, which have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $40.97 and $40.86 per unit, respectively. Each recipient of PSUs is eligible to receive between zero and 200% of the target number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the end of three years provided the Company’s defined Return on Invested Capital metrics are achieved. The Company is recognizing compensation expense ratably over the required service period based on its estimate of the number of shares that will vest. If there is a change in the estimate of the number of shares that are probable of vesting, the Company cumulatively adjusts compensation expense in the period that the change in estimate is made. The Company also granted 0.1 million and 0.3 million market based awards (MSUs) to its senior management team during the nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. Each recipient of MSUs 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 based upon achieving a certain total shareholder return relative to a defined peer group. The MSUs were valued at $55.13 and $49.45 per share using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company is recognizing compensation expense for the MSUs ratably over the service period. At June 29, 2019, there was 2.6 million in aggregate RSUs, PSUs and MSUs outstanding.
At June 29, 2019, there was $25.9 million and $69.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options and stock units (comprised of RSUs, PSUs and MSUs), respectively, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 and 1.9 years, respectively.

The reduction in identifiable assets for the Medical Aesthetics reportable segment was due to the Company recording an impairment charge of $443.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 (see Note 14).
The Company had no customers that represented greater than 10% of consolidated revenues during the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018.
The Company operates in the major geographic areas 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 “Rest of World” designation includes Canada, Latin America and the Middle East.

(13) Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 was a provision of 17.8% and a benefit of 40.7%, respectively, compared to a benefit of 7.2% and 67.0% for the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the three months ended June 29, 2019, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to reserve releases resulting from statute of limitations expirations and favorable audit settlements, and earnings in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates. For the nine months ended June 29, 2019, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of the Medical Aesthetics impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, earnings in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates, a $19.2 million discrete benefit related to an internal restructuring, reserve releases resulting from statute of limitations expirations and favorable audit settlements, and finalizing the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to a revision in the provisional transition tax liability resulting from revising the estimate of the overall earnings and profits on which the transaction tax is based and earnings in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates. For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the favorable impact of the Act enacted on December 22, 2017, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the Medical Aesthetics goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, substantially all of which was non-deductible.

Tax Reform

The Act significantly revised the U.S. system of corporate taxation by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a new international tax system, broadening the tax base and imposing a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”) directing SEC registrants to consider the impact of the U.S. legislation as “provisional” when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete

31


its accounting for the change in tax law. In accordance with SAB 118, during fiscal 2018 the Company recorded its best estimates based on its interpretation of the U.S. legislation while it continued to accumulate data to finalize the underlying calculations.

As of December 29, 2018, the Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act. As described below, the Company completed its calculation of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax, and recognized a final net benefit amount of $341.2 million, which is included as a component of income tax expense. At June 30, 2018, the Company had not completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, the Company had made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and the onetime transition tax, and recognized a provisional net benefit of $354.5 million, which was included in income tax expense as of June 30, 2018. This estimate was updated as of September 29, 2018 and the Company recorded a net benefit of $346.2 million in fiscal 2018. The benefit reduction of $5.0 million recorded in the three months ended December 29, 2018 primarily related to credit utilization limitations and executive compensation deduction disallowances resulting from the completion of computations reflecting the effects of clarifying guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury during the quarter.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities: The Company recorded a final net reduction of its deferred tax liabilities of $341.2 million related to the Act, as compared to the Company’s provisional net reduction of $346.4 million as of September 29, 2018. The Act resulted in a tax benefit relating to the re-measurement of certain U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%, partially offset by additional tax expense pertaining to credit utilization limitations and executive compensation deduction disallowances.

Foreign tax effects: The one-time transition tax is based on the Company’s total post-1986 earnings and profits (E&P) which were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. The Company finalized its calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for these foreign subsidiaries resulting in no cumulative net income tax expense related to the one-time transition tax.

The Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 740, No. 5, Accounting for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, states that an entity can make an accounting policy election to either recognize deferred taxes for temporary basis differences expected to reverse as GILTI in future years or to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense only. The Company will account for GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period cost.

Other Tax Accounting Pronouncements

On October 24, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, which removes the prohibition in ASC 740 against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Under ASU 2016-16, the selling (transferring) entity is required to recognize a current tax expense or benefit upon transfer of the asset. Similarly, the purchasing (receiving) entity is required to recognize a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability, as well as the related deferred tax benefit or expense, upon receipt of the asset.

This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2016-16 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease the opening balance of accumulated deficit within stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2018, the first day of fiscal 2019. This change in accounting principle resulted in an increase in deferred tax assets of $2.9 million, a decrease in accumulated deficit of $2.5 million, and a decrease in prepaid taxes of $0.4 million as of the beginning of the Company’s fiscal year beginning September 30, 2018.

The Company was required to account for the internal restructuring discussed above under ASU 2016-16 and recorded a $29.5 million increase to income tax expense and income tax liabilities and a decrease of $48.7 million to deferred tax expense and net deferred tax liabilities for the nine months ended June 29, 2019. The net result is an increase to net income of $19.2 million, or an earnings per share increase of $0.07, for the nine months ended June 29, 2019.

Non-Income Tax Matters

The Company is subject to tax examinations for value added, sales-based, payroll and other non-income tax items. A number of these examinations are ongoing in various jurisdictions. The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates pursuant to ASC 450. In the normal course of business, the Company's positions and conclusions related to its non-income tax positions could be challenged, resulting in assessments by governmental authorities. While the Company believes estimated losses previously recorded are reasonable, certain audits are still ongoing and additional charges could be recorded in the future.

Medical Aesthetics Impairment

During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, in connection with commencing its company-wide annual budgeting and strategic planning process as well as evaluating the current operating performance of its Medical Aesthetics reporting unit (comprised solely of the Cynosure business), the Company reduced its short term and long term revenue and operating income forecasts. The updated forecast reflects reduced volume and market penetration projections primarily in the Body Contouring business due to increased competition in the non-invasive fat reduction category, and lower Women's Health product sales primarily from reduced sales volume of the MonaLisa Touch device, which the Company believes is primarily driven by the FDA's public letter in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 challenging various medical aesthetics companies marketing of devices for so called "vaginal rejuvenation" procedures relative to their FDA approvals. As a result of the revised forecasts in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company determined indicators of impairment existed and performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, to determine if the cash flows expected to be generated by this asset group over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary assets were sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group, which was determined to be at the reporting unit level. Based on this analysis, which included evaluating various cash flow scenarios, the undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. As a result, the Company was required to perform Step 3 of the impairment test and determine the fair value of the

33


asset group. To estimate the fair value, the Company utilized the income approach, which is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset group and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the DCF require significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows were based on the Company's most recent strategic plan and for periods beyond the strategic plan, the Company's estimates were based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. The Company believes its assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates that a market participant would use to manage the business. The discount rate used is intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections and was based on an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of market participants relative to the asset group. The Company used a discount rate of 11.0%. As a result of this analysis, the fair value of the Medical Aesthetics asset group was below its carrying value, and the Company recorded an impairment charge of $443.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The impairment charge was allocated to the long-lived assets as follows: $373.3 million to developed technology, $14.4 million to customer relationships, $31.5 million to trade names, $17.8 million to distribution agreements and $6.8 million to equipment. The Company believes its assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset group are reasonable. Actual operating results and the related cash flows of the asset group could differ from the estimated operating results and related cash flows. In the event the asset group does not meet its forecasted projections, additional impairment charges could be recorded in the future.

In connection with this analysis, the Company also re-evaluated the remaining useful lives of intangible assets acquired in the Cynosure acquisition and shortened the lives of certain assets.

Goodwill
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with commencing its company-wide annual budgeting and strategic planning process, evaluating its current operating performance of its Medical Aesthetics reporting unit, and abandoning an in-process research and development project, the Company reduced its short term and long term revenue and operating income forecasts and determined that indicators of impairment existed in its Medical Aesthetics reporting unit. The updated forecast reflected significantly reduced volume and market penetration projections resulting in lower short-term and long-term profitability than expected at the time of the Cynosure acquisition. As a result of those current events and circumstances at that time, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that this change would reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In performing the impairment test, the Company utilized the single step approach under Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The Goodwill impairment test requires a comparison of the carrying value of the Medical Aesthetics reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company utilized a DCF analysis. The forecasted cash flows were based on the Company's most recent budget and strategic plan at that time and for periods beyond the strategic plan, the Company's estimates were based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. The Company believed its assumptions were consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying business. The basis of fair value for Medical Aesthetics assumed the reporting unit would be purchased or sold in a non-taxable transaction, and the discount rate of 12.0% applied to the after-tax cash flows was consistent with that used in the purchase accounting performed in fiscal 2017. As a result of this analysis, the fair value of the Medical Aesthetic reporting unit was significantly below its carrying value, and the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $685.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2018. This reporting unit now has a goodwill value of zero. The Company believes its assumptions used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit were reasonable. Actual operating results and the related cash flows of the reporting units could differ from the estimated operating results and related cash flows.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, due to the presence of impairment indicators, the Company also performed an impairment test of this reporting unit’s long-lived assets. This impairment evaluation was based on expectations of future undiscounted cash flows compared to the carrying value of the long-lived assets. The Company’s cash flow estimates were consistent with those used in the goodwill impairment test discussed above. Based on this analysis, the undiscounted cash flows of the Medical Aesthetics long-lived assets were in excess of their carrying value and thus the asset group was deemed to not be impaired. The Company believes its procedures for estimating future cash flows were reasonable and consistent with market conditions at the time of estimation.

This share repurchase plan was effective August 1, 2018 and expires on June 13, 2023. Under this authorization, during the nine months ended June 29, 2019, the Company repurchased 4.8 million shares of its common stock for a total consideration of $200.1 million. As of June 29, 2019, $211.5 million remained under this authorization.

(18) New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 for Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU requires certain changes to the presentation of hedge accounting in the financial statements and certain new or modified disclosures. The ASU also simplifies the application of hedge accounting and expands the strategies that qualify for hedge accounting. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the anticipated impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-12 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
    

35


In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The guidance requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected credit losses during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of its leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The amendments also require certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements, to clarify specific guidance issued in ASC 2016-02. The guidance for ASU 2016-02, ASU 2018-10, and ASU 2018-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and is applicable to the Company in fiscal 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently plans to adopt the standard using the transition method provided by ASU 2018-11. Under this method, the Company plans to initially apply the new leasing rules on September 29, 2019, and recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings, rather than at the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.

The Company reached conclusions on several policy elections available under Topic 842 that the Company plans to apply on September 29, 2019. Upon transition, the Company will apply the package of practical expedients and will not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the classification of any expired or existing leases, and initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company will apply the transition package of practical expedients described above to our entire lease portfolio at September 29, 2019. While the Company is still in the process of determining the effect that the new standard will have on its financial position and results of operations, the Company expects to recognize additional assets and corresponding liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets, as a result of its operating lease portfolio as it exists at the adoption date of the new standard on September 29, 2019. Additionally, the Company is in the process of implementing a new lease administration and lease accounting system, and updating our controls and procedures for maintaining and accounting for our lease portfolio under the new standard.

OVERVIEW
We are a developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostics products, medical imaging systems, surgical products and light-based aesthetic and medical treatments systems with an emphasis on women's health. We operate in five segments: Diagnostics, Breast Health, Medical Aesthetics, GYN Surgical and Skeletal Health. We sell and service our products through a combination of direct sales and service personnel and a network of independent distributors and sales representatives.
We offer a wide range of diagnostic products which are used primarily to aid in the diagnosis of human diseases. Our primary diagnostics products include our Aptima family of molecular diagnostic assays, which run on our advanced instrumentation systems (Panther and Tigris), our ThinPrep cytology system, and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test. The Aptima family of molecular diagnostic assays is used to detect, among other things, the infectious microorganisms that cause the common sexually transmitted diseases, or STDs, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea, certain high-risk strains of human papillomavirus, or HPV, and Trichomonas vaginalis, the parasite that causes trichomoniasis. In addition, in 2017 and 2018 we introduced the Aptima quantitative viral load tests for HIV, Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B. The Aptima portfolio also includes diagnostic tests for a range of acute respiratory ailments that are run on the Panther Fusion system, a field upgradeable instrument addition to the Panther. The ThinPrep System is primarily used in cytology applications, such as cervical cancer screening, and the Rapid Fetal Fibronectin Test assists physicians in assessing the risk of pre-term birth.
Our Breast Health products include a broad portfolio of solutions for breast cancer care for radiology, pathology and surgery. These solutions include breast imaging and analytics, such as our 2D and 3D mammography systems and reading workstations, minimally invasive breast biopsy guidance systems and devices, breast biopsy site markers and localization, specimen radiology, ultrasound and connectivity solutions. Our most advanced breast imaging platform, Selenia Dimensions and 3Dimensions, utilizes a technology called tomosynthesis to produce 3D images that show multiple contiguous slice images of the breast, which we refer to as the Genius 3D Mammography exam, as well as conventional 2D full field digital mammography images. Our clinical results for FDA approval demonstrated that conventional 2D digital mammography with the addition of 3D tomosynthesis is superior to 2D digital mammography alone for both screening and diagnostics for women of all ages and breast densities. In addition, through our recent acquisitions of Faxitron and Focal we have expanded our product portfolio to include breast conserving surgery products.
Our Medical Aesthetics segment offers a portfolio of aesthetic treatment systems, including SculpSure, PicoSure and MonaLisa Touch, that enable plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other medical practitioners to perform non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures to remove hair, treat vascular and benign pigmented lesions, remove multi-colored tattoos, revitalize the skin, reduce fat through laser lipolysis, reduce cellulite, clear nails infected by toe fungus, ablate sweat glands and improve gynecologic health. This segment also markets our TempSure radio frequency, or RF, energy sourced platform that offers both non-surgical and surgical aesthetic treatments and procedures.
Our GYN Surgical products include our NovaSure Endometrial Ablation System, or NovaSure, and our MyoSure Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System, or MyoSure, as well as our Fluent Fluid Management system, or Fluent. The NovaSure portfolio is comprised of the NovaSure CLASSIC and NovaSure ADVANCED devices and involves a trans-cervical procedure for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. The MyoSure suite of devices offers four options to provide incision-less removal of fibroids, polyps, and other pathology within the uterus. The Fluent system is a fluid management system that provides liquid distention during diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures.
Our Skeletal Health segment's products includes the Horizon DXA, a dual energy x-ray system, which evaluates bone density and performs body composition assessments, and the Fluoroscan Insight FD mini C-arm, which assists in performing minimally invasive orthopedic surgical procedures on a patient's extremities, such as the hand, wrist, knee, foot, and ankle.

We generated an increase in product revenues in both the current three and nine month periods of 3.9% and 4.1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. In the current three and nine month periods, we had increases across all our business segments except Medical Aesthetics, which experienced a decline in volume of SculpSure and MonaLisa Touch system sales in both periods.
Diagnostics product revenues increased $10.7 million and $38.5 million or 3.7% and 4.6%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in Molecular Diagnostics of $16.7 million and $49.4 million, respectively, partially offset by decreases in Cytology & Perinatal of $0.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively. In addition, revenue from blood screening, which we divested in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, decreased $5.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, under our agreement to provide Grifols manufacturing support through a transition services period and long term access to Panther instrumentation and certain supplies. Molecular Diagnostics product revenue (excluding blood screening) was $168.6 million and $495.3 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to $151.9 million and $445.9 million, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to sales volume of our Aptima family of assays, which increased $8.4 million and $30.9 million, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods on a worldwide basis primarily due to our increased installed base of Panther instruments. This installed base is driving higher volumes of assay testing. In addition, we had an increase in worldwide sales of our virology products for which we have recently received certain international regulatory approvals as part of our strategy to expand our menu of assays on the Panther platform. Cytology & Perinatal product revenue decreased slightly in the current quarter and for the current nine month period. The decrease was primarily due to lower Perinatal volumes, which we primarily attribute to a shift in ordering patterns, and lower domestic ThinPrep test volumes, which we primarily attribute to screening interval expansion as well as a slight decline in average selling prices, partially offset by an increase in international volumes on a worldwide basis. The increase in revenues in both periods was partially offset by the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies.
Breast Health product revenues increased $16.5 million and 62.2 million, or 8.6% and 11.3%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of Faxitron and Focal which contributed combined revenues of $11.8 million and $35.7 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively. In addition, we had increased unit volumes of our digital mammography systems, primarily our newest 3Dimensions and 3D Performance systems, which complement our older 3D systems for which we had lower sales, and an increase in our newer workflow products, consisting of Intelligent 2D, Clarity HD, and SmartCurve upgrades, partially offset by lower sales of our Brevera breast biopsy system due to supply constraints, Affirm Prone table and 3D software upgrades. The increase in revenues in both periods was partially offset by the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies.
Medical Aesthetics product revenue decreased $7.3 million and $30.6 million, or (9.6)% and (13.8)%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in Body Contouring product revenues on a worldwide basis primarily driven by lower volumes of SculpSure lasers, Submental upgrades and related PAC keys, which we believe is due to continuing challenges in our domestic sales force and increased competition in the non-invasive fat reduction category, and lower Women's Health product sales primarily from lower sales volume of our MonaLisa Touch device, which we believe is primarily driven by the FDA's public letter in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 challenging various medical aesthetics companies' marketing of devices for so called "vaginal rejuvenation" procedures relative to their FDA approvals. In November of 2018, we received confirmation from the FDA that we had adequately addressed all of the concerns expressed in their letter and we continue to market our Women’s Health products accordingly. These decreases were partially offset by higher Skin product revenue in both the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. In the current three month period, higher Skin product revenue was primarily driven by Icon and TempSure system sales. In the current nine month period, higher Skin product revenue was primarily driven by the TempSure product line being available for nine months as compared to six months in the prior year and relaunch of the TempSure product line in the first quarter of 2019 after the voluntary recall in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 in response to the FDA letter referred to above. The revenue decline in both periods was also due to the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies.
GYN Surgical product revenues increased $4.5 million and $8.1 million, or 4.2% and 2.6%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increases in the volume of MyoSure system sales of $4.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, and increases in Fluent systems sales of $3.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, as Fluent was launched in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. These increases were partially offset by decreases in NovaSure systems sales of $5.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. We attribute the decrease in NovaSure sales primarily to increased competition and a stagnant market for endometrial ablation. In addition, we have experienced a slight reduction in average selling prices across many of our MyoSure and Novasure devices, which were partially offset by an increase in sales volume for the higher priced NovaSure ADVANCED device.

Skeletal Health product revenues increased $1.7 million and $2.9 million, or 11.3% and 6.4%, respectively, in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. The increase in the current quarter was primarily due to an increase in sales volume of our Horizon DXA systems, which was partially offset by lower sales volume of our Insight FD mini C-arm system. The increase in the current nine month period was primarily due to an increase in sales volume of both our Horizon DXA and Insight FD mini C-arm systems.

In both the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, the percentage of product revenue derived from the U.S. increased while the Rest of World decreased which we primarily attributed to strong growth in domestic mammography system sales, revenues from the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions, which are predominantly US based, and strong molecular diagnostics growth coupled with lower revenue in Latin America which we believe is primarily attributable to macroeconomic and political challenges in the region.

Service and other revenues consist primarily 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, and to a lesser extent, our Medical Aesthetics business. The Breast Health business continues to convert a high percentage of our installed base of digital mammography systems to service contracts upon expiration of the warranty period. Our Medical Aesthetics business represented 11.1% and 10.5% of service and other revenues in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019, respectively, and 10.8% and 10.7% of service and other revenues in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Service revenues increased 1.6% and 3.7% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to higher installation, spare parts, and service contract conversion and renewal rates for our Breast Health business. In addition, in the current year periods, Breast Health had higher license revenue.

Cost of Product Revenues. The cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues was 33.5% and 34.1% in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, compared to 33.4% and 33.3% in the corresponding periods in the prior year. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues in the current three and nine month periods increased primarily due to unfavorable manufacturing variances, product mix, step-up in fair value of inventory acquired in the Focal acquisition that resulted in additional costs of $1.8 million and $5.4 million, respectively, increased tariff costs for products imported into China of $2.4 million and $5.6 million, respectively, and higher international freight costs.
Diagnostics' product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to improved molecular diagnostics' gross margin from increased volume of Aptima assays and viral assays. Diagnostics' product costs as a percentage of revenue increased slightly in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower ThinPrep Pap test and Perinatal sales, and unfavorable manufacturing variances. These cost increases were partially offset by improved molecular diagnostics' gross margin from increased volume of Aptima assays and viral assays.
Breast Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to unfavorable manufacturing and purchase price variances, the acquisition of Focal in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and the related impact of stepping-up the acquired inventory to fair value in purchase accounting that resulted in additional costs of $1.8 million and $5.4 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively, and tariff costs in China. The increases in costs as a percentage of revenue in both periods were partially offset by higher domestic sales volume of the higher margin 3Dimensions system sales. In addition, gross margin was lower in the current three month period due to lower 3D software upgrades, and in the current nine month period, due to an increase in the sales volume of digital mammography systems internationally, which have lower average selling prices than domestic system sales, and an increase in inventory reserve charges.
Medical Aesthetics' product costs as a percentage of revenue increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to lower sales volume, unfavorable product mix as we sold fewer units of our higher margin SculpSure laser and related PAC keys and MonaLisa Touch device, unfavorable manufacturing variances, increased inventory reserves, and tariff costs in China.
GYN Surgical’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to favorable manufacturing variances from overall increased volumes. Product costs were relatively consistent in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. While there is a continued mix shift to the lower margin MyoSure products from NovaSure comprising a higher percentage of GYN Surgical product sales and increased sales of Fluent, this trend wass offset by an increase in sales volume in the current three and nine month periods for the higher margin NovaSure ADVANCED device compared to the Classic device.
Skeletal Health’s product costs as a percentage of revenue decreased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to favorable manufacturing variances. Product costs as a percentage of revenue were relatively consistent for the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets relates to acquired developed technology, which is generally amortized over its estimated useful life of between 5 and 15 years using a straight-line method or, if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. Amortization expense decreased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to lower amortization from intangible assets acquired in the Cynosure acquisition which were written down in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 (partially offset by shortening the remaining life of certain assets) and lower amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Cytyc acquisition which reduce over time. These decreases were partially offset by combined amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions of $3.2 million in the current quarter. Amortization expense increased slightly in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to combined amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired in the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions of $9.5 million, partially offset by lower amortization from the impaired intangible assets acquired in the Cynosure acquisition which were written down in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and lower amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Cytyc acquisition which reduce over time.
Impairment of Intangible Assets and Equipment. During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, in connection with commencing our company-wide annual budgeting and strategic planning process as well as evaluating the current operating performance of our Medical Aesthetics reporting unit (comprised solely of the Cynosure business), we reduced our short term and long term revenue and operating income forecasts. The updated forecast reflects reduced volume and market penetration projections primarily in our Body Contouring business due to increased competition in the non-invasive fat reduction category, and lower Women's Health product sales primarily from reduced sales volume of the MonaLisa Touch device, which we believe is primarily driven by the FDA's public letter in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. As a result of the revised forecasts in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we determined indicators of impairment existed and performed an undiscounted cash flow analysis pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment - Overall, to determine if the cash flows expected to be generated by this asset group over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary assets were sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. Based on this analysis, which included evaluating various cash flow scenarios, the undiscounted cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. As a result, we were required to perform Step 3 of the impairment test and determine the fair value of the asset group. To estimate the fair value, we utilized the income approach, which is based on a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset group and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the DCF require significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows were based on our most recent strategic plan at that time and for periods beyond the strategic plan, our estimates were based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. We believe our assumptions were consistent with the plans and estimates that a market participant would use to manage the business. The discount rate used is intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections and was based on an estimate of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of market participants relative to the asset group. We used a discount rate of 11.0%. As a result of this analysis, the fair value of the Medical Aesthetics asset group was below its carrying value, and we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $443.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The impairment charge was allocated to the long-lived assets and $373.3 million of developed technology intangible assets and $1.3 million of equipment was written off to cost of product revenues. We believe our assumptions used to determine the fair value of the asset group were reasonable. Actual operating results and the related cash flows of the asset group could differ from the estimated operating results and related cash flows. In the event the asset group does not meet its forecasted projections, additional impairment charges could be recorded in the future.

Service and other revenues gross margin decreased to 37.2% and 40.7% in the current three and nine month periods compared to 43.5% and 45.9% in the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to an increase in costs in Breast Health to repair digital mammography systems under service contracts, which includes unfavorable margins on spare parts, increased departmental spend and higher freight costs, and increased field service costs in Medical Aesthetics. In the current nine month period, the reduced gross margin was partially offset by an increase in Breast Health license revenue, which has a higher gross margin.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased 12.9% and 3.5% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to a $4.5 million charge related to the purchase of intellectual property in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, higher compensation expense in Breast Health due to increased headcount and the inclusion of expenses from the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in project spend and a reduction in Diagnostics from lower headcount. At any point in time, we have a number of different research projects and clinical trials being conducted and the timing of these projects and related costs can vary from period to period.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased 1.8% and 2.9% in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to expenses attributable to the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions of $6.5 million and $14.9 million for the current three and nine month periods, respectively, an increase in commissions and third-party commissions in Breast Health from higher revenues, increased sales personnel head count in Surgical, increased marketing initiatives in Diagnostic, and higher travel and international trade shows partially offset by lower Medical Aesthetics expenses primarily due to lower compensation expense as a result of lower headcount and commissions, a reduction in marketing initiatives spend and lower trade show expense.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased 7.4% and increased 0.2% 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 is primarily due to lower legal expenses as the prior year period had higher litigation costs related to the Fuji, Enzo and Minerva lawsuits, lower depreciation expense due to fiscal 2018 including accelerated depreciation of Cynosure's SAP ERP system and decreased stock-based compensation. The increase in the current nine month period is primarily due to higher facility and infrastructure costs, an increase in tax consulting fees related to integration of acquired businesses, an increase in accounting and consulting fees related to the adoption of new accounting standards, higher compensation and benefits due to increased headcount, and an increase in international bad debt expense. Additionally, the first quarter of fiscal 2018 included a $4.0 million benefit due to resolution of a non-income tax matter. Partially offsetting these increases in the current nine month period was lower depreciation expense as fiscal 2018 included accelerated depreciation of Cynosure's SAP ERP system, a net decrease in legal fees and charges primarily related to the Fuji and Minerva lawsuits partially offset by settling the Enzo lawsuit in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, and lower stock compensation expense.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets results from customer relationships, trade names, distributor relationships and business licenses related to our acquisitions. These intangible assets are generally amortized over their estimated useful lives of between 5 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. Amortization expense decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to lower amortization from the intangible assets acquired in the Cynosure acquisition which were written down in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

Impairment of Intangible Assets and Equipment. As discussed above, we recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $443.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The impairment charge allocated to the long-lived assets and written off to operating expenses was $14.4 million to customer relationships, $31.5 million to trade names, $17.8 million to distribution agreements and $5.5 million to equipment.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we decided to cancel and abandon an in-process research and development project that was recorded as an intangible asset in the Cynosure acquisition purchase accounting. The project was abandoned due to unsuccessful clinical results. As a result, we recorded a $46.0 million impairment charge to write-off the full value of the asset.
Impairment of Goodwill. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, in connection with commencing our company-wide annual budgeting and strategic planning process, evaluating the current operating performance of our Medical Aesthetics reporting unit, and abandoning an in-process research and development project, we reduced the short term and long term revenue and operating income forecasts and determined that indicators of impairment existed in our Medical Aesthetics reporting unit. The Medical Aesthetics reporting unit is solely comprised of the Cynosure business, which we acquired on March 22, 2017. The updated forecast reflected significantly reduced volume and market penetration projections resulting in lower short-term and long-term profitability than expected at the time of the Cynosure acquisition. As a result of those current events and circumstances, we determined that it was more likely than not that this change would reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. In performing the impairment test, we utilized the single step approach under Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). The goodwill impairment test requires a comparison of the carrying value of the Medical Aesthetics reporting unit to its estimated fair value. To estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, we utilized a DCF analysis. The forecasted cash flows were based on our most recent budget and strategic plan and for periods beyond the strategic plan, our estimates were based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. We believe our assumptions were consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying business. The basis of fair value for Medical Aesthetics assumed the reporting unit would be purchased or sold in a non-taxable transaction, and the discount rate of 12.0% applied to the after-tax cash flows was consistent with that used in the purchase accounting performed in fiscal 2017. We believe our assumptions used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit were reasonable.
Restructuring Charges. We have implemented various cost reduction initiatives to align our cost structure with our operations and in connection with our acquisition of Cynosure and related integration activities. These actions have primarily resulted in the termination of employees. As such, we have recorded severance benefit charges of $1.3 million and $4.8 million in the current three and nine month periods, respectively. In the prior year three and nine month periods, we recorded severance benefit charges of $3.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively, related to various actions. In addition, we recorded lease obligation charges of $1.4 million in the current three and nine month periods, and $2.5 million in the prior year three and nine month periods. For additional information pertaining to restructuring actions and charges, please refer to Note 5 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 issuance costs on our outstanding debt. Interest expense in the current three month period increased primarily due to lower proceeds received under our interest rate cap agreements that hedge the variable interest rate under our credit facilities in the current quarter as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year as well as an increase in LIBOR year over year, the basis for determining interest expense under our 2018 Credit Agreement. Interest expense in the current nine month period has decreased primarily due to refinancing our 2022 Senior Notes with our 2025 and 2028 Senior Notes that carry lower rates, and proceeds received under our interest rate cap agreements that hedge the variable interest rate under our credit facilities, partially offset by increased interest expense under our 2018 Credit Agreement due to an increase in LIBOR.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2019 was a provision of 17.8% and a benefit of 40.7%, respectively, compared to a benefit of 7.2% and 67.0% for the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the three months ended June 29, 2019, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to reserve releases resulting from statute of limitations expirations and favorable audit settlements, and earnings in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates. For the nine months ended June 29, 2019, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effects of the Medical Aesthetics impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, earnings in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates, a $19.2 million discrete benefit related to internal restructuring, reserve releases resulting from statute of limitations expirations and favorable audit settlements, and finalizing the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to a revision in the provisional transition tax liability resulting from revising the estimate of the overall earnings and profits on which the transaction tax is based and earnings in jurisdictions subject to lower tax rates. For the nine months ended June 30, 2018, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the favorable impact of the Act enacted on December 22, 2017, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of the Medical Aesthetics goodwill impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, substantially all of which was non-deductible.

For additional information pertaining to income taxes and the Act, please refer to Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

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

Operating income for this business segment increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to an increase in gross profit from higher revenues with higher gross margins and a decrease in operating expenses. Gross margin was 47.8% and 46.2% in the current three month period and corresponding prior year period, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to increased sales of our Aptima family of assays. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to a decrease in salary compensation from decreased headcount, lower stock-based compensation, a reduction in legal expenses from settling the Enzo lawsuit, and lower clinical trial expenses based on the timing of projects, partially offset by increased marketing initiatives.

Operating income increased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to an increase in gross profit from higher revenues partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Gross margin was 47.5% and 46.9% in the current nine month period and corresponding prior year period, respectively. The improved molecular diagnostics' gross margin from increased volume of Aptima assays was partially offset by lower ThinPrep Pap test and Perinatal volumes and unfavorable manufacturing variances. Operating expenses increased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding

period in the prior year primarily due to the $10.5 million settlement charge recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 related to the Enzo litigation, an increase in marketing initiatives and trade shows, and higher sales expense partially offset by lower compensation expense due to a decrease in headcount, lower clinical trial expenses based on the timing of projects, a reduction in legal fees, and lower amortization expense.

Breast Health revenues increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increases of $16.5 million and $62.2 million in product revenue, respectively, discussed above and an increase of $1.0 million and $13.4 million in service revenue, respectively, related to continued conversion of a high percentage of the installed base of digital mammography systems to service contracts upon expiration of the warranty period and to a lesser extent an increase in spare parts revenues and an increase in license revenue in the current nine month period.

Operating income for this business segment decreased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in gross margin due to unfavorable manufacturing variances, increased service costs related primarily to spare parts, an increase in amortization expense from the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions, the fair value adjustment related to Focal inventory sold of $1.8 million, tariff costs in China, increase in freight costs and the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies. These decreases were partially offset by increased sales volume of the higher margin 3Dimensions system sales. Gross margin was 57.5% and 60.0% in the current three month period and corresponding prior year period, respectively. Operating expenses increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the inclusion of expenses from the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions aggregating $9.0 million, an increase in compensation from higher headcount in the Breast Health segment, an increase in marketing initiatives and trade shows, partially offset by a decrease in legal expenses as a result of settling the Fuji litigation and a reduction in third party commissions.
Operating income for this business segment increased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in gross profit from higher revenues partially offset by increased operating expenses. The overall gross margin decreased to 57.4% in the current nine month period compared to 60.1% in the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to the increase in service revenue, which has lower margins, unfavorable manufacturing variances, increased service costs related primarily to spare parts, an increase in amortization expense from the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions, the fair value adjustment related to Focal inventory sold of $5.4 million, tariff costs in China, and the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies, partially offset by favorable product gross margins from sales volume increases in the 3Dimensions and 3D Performance systems, which have higher average selling prices, sales volume increases in higher margin 3D upgrades, and an increase in license revenue. Partially offsetting higher gross profit, operating expenses increased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in compensation from higher headcount in the Breast Health segment, the inclusion of expenses from the Faxitron and Focal acquisitions aggregating $23.4 million, higher sales commissions, increased travel expenses, increased R&D project expenses, and increased commissions from higher sales, partially offset by lower legal expenses as a result of a benefit from settling the Fuji litigation, and a reduction in consulting expenses and marketing initiatives.

Medical Aesthetics revenue decreased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the fluctuations in product revenue discussed above.
The operating loss for this business segment decreased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in operating expenses partially offset by a reduction in gross profit from lower revenues and lower gross margin. Gross margin was 35.3% and 42.1% in the current three month period and corresponding prior year period, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to lower sales volume of our higher margin MonaLisa Touch device and SculpSure laser and related PAC keys, higher sales of lower margin Icon and PicoSure systems, unfavorable manufacturing variances, an increase in inventory reserves, increased service costs, tariffs in China and the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies. Partially offsetting the decrease in gross profit, operating expenses were lower in the current three month period primarily due to a decrease in compensation related to lower headcount across the organization from attrition and initiatives to right-size spending relative to operating results, lower depreciation expense as the prior year period included accelerated depreciation expense related to the abandonment of Cynosure's SAP ERP system, lower amortization expense as a result of impairing the intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, a reduction in restructuring charges, and lower marketing initiative spend.
The operating loss in the current nine month period and the corresponding period in the prior year included an intangible asset and equipment impairment charge of $443.8 million recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and impairment charges aggregating $731.7 million for goodwill and an in-process research and development intangible asset recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Excluding the impairment charges, the operating loss for this business segment increased $0.2 million in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to a decrease in gross profit from lower revenues and lower gross margin, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses. Gross margin, excluding impairment charges, decreased primarily due to lower sales volume of our higher margin MonaLisa Touch device and SculpSure laser and related PAC keys, higher sales of lower margin Icon and PicoSure systems, unfavorable manufacturing variances, an increase in inventory reserves, increased service costs, tariffs in China, and the negative foreign currency exchange impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar against a number of currencies.
Partially offsetting the decrease in gross profit, operating expenses were lower in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in compensation related to lower headcount across the organization from attrition and initiatives to right-size spending relative to operating results, lower depreciation expense as the prior year periods included accelerated depreciation expense related to the abandonment of Cynosure's SAP ERP system, a reduction in restructuring and integration charges, lower amortization expense as a result of impairing the intangible assets in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, lower marketing initiative spend, and lower travel and trade show spend, partially offset by an increase in legal fees.

GYN Surgical revenues increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the increase in product revenues discussed above.
Operating income for this business segment decreased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to increase in operating expenses partially offset by increased gross profit driven by higher revenue and higher gross margin. Gross margin was 64.8% and 63.3% in the current three month period and corresponding prior year period, respectively. Operating expenses increased in the current three month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to increased compensation from higher sales headcount and increased commissions and a $4.5 million charge in research and development expenses related to the purchase of certain intellectual property that was expensed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, partially offset by lower legal expenses.
Operating income 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 increased gross profit driven by higher revenue and higher gross margin. Gross margin was 64.2% and 63.3% in the current nine month period and corresponding prior year period, respectively. Operating expenses increased in the current nine month period compared to the corresponding period in the prior year primarily due to increased compensation from higher sales headcount and increased commissions, $4.5 million charge in research and development expenses related to the purchase of certain intellectual property in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, and the prior year period included a $3.2 million benefit related to resolution of a tax matter, partially offset by a reduction in research and development project spend.

Skeletal Health revenues increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to the fluctuations in product revenues discussed above.
This business segment had operating losses in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increased operating expenses in both periods as well as lower gross profit in the current nine month period. In the current three and nine month periods, gross margin was 36.9% and 37.9%, respectively, compared to 39.3% and 42.2%, respectively, in the corresponding periods in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily due to a decrease in service margin related to increased departmental spend.
Operating expenses increased in the current three and nine month periods compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year primarily due to increased research and development spending and consultants. In addition, corporate allocations increased in the current year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 29, 2019, we had $576.6 million of working capital and our cash and cash equivalents totaled $427.9 million. Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased by $238.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 primarily due to cash used in financing and investing activities related to net repayments of debt, repurchases of common stock and net cash paid for acquisitions, partially offset by cash generated through cash flow from our core operating activities.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, our operating activities provided cash of $401.8 million. We incurred a net loss of $(80.1) million which was offset by the Medical Aesthetics non-cash intangible asset and equipment impairment charge of $443.8 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization aggregating $349.7 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $48.5 million. These adjustments to net income were partially offset by a decrease in net deferred tax liabilities of $194.8 million primarily due to the intangible asset and equipment impairment, and to a lesser extent, the amortization of intangible assets. Cash provided by operations was negatively impacted by a net cash outflow of $189.6 million from changes in our operating assets and liabilities. The net cash outflow was driven primarily by an increase in inventory of $81.7 million primarily to meet anticipated demand, launch newer products and the build up of safety stock, a decrease in accrued expenses of $47.9 million primarily due to annual bonus payments and the Smith & Nephew legal settlement payment of $34.8 million partially offset by an increase in accrued payroll due to timing of payroll payments and bonus accrual for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, a decrease in accounts payable of $30.9 million due to timing of payments, an increase in prepaid expenses primarily due to support and maintenance contracts, an increase in prepaid income taxes based on when federal payments are due relative to the current year provision, and an increase in accounts receivable of $9.7 million as a result of an increase in current quarter revenue compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, our investing activities used cash of $199.9 million primarily related to net cash payments of $109.4 million primarily related to the Focal acquisition and $77.7 million for capital expenditures, which primarily consisted of the placement of equipment under customer usage agreements and purchases of manufacturing equipment and computer hardware and software.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2019, our financing activities used cash of $440.7 million primarily for payments of $1.46 billion to pay off the Term Loan outstanding under the 2017 Credit Agreement, $300.0 million of net repayments on amounts borrowed under our revolving credit line, $200.1 million for repurchases of our common stock, and payments of $12.4 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 $1.5 billion from the 2018 Amended Term Loan under the 2018 Credit Agreement and $35.9 million from our equity plans, primarily from the exercise of stock options.
Debt
We had total recorded debt outstanding of $3.05 billion at June 29, 2019, which was comprised of amounts outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement of $1.49 billion (principal of $1.50 billion), 2025 Senior Notes of $936.7 million (principal of $950.0 million), 2028 Senior Notes of $393.7 million (principal of $400.0 million), and amounts outstanding under the accounts receivable securitization program of $234.0 million.
2018 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 17, 2018, we refinanced our term loan and revolving credit facility by entering into an Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement as of December 17, 2018 (the "2018 Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, and certain other lenders. The 2018 Credit Agreement amended and restated the Company's prior credit and guaranty agreement, amended and restated as of October 3, 2017 ("2017 Credit Agreement").

The credit facilities under the 2018 Credit Agreement consist of:

A $1.5 billion secured term loan ("2018 Amended Term Loan") with a maturity date of December 17, 2023; and
A secured revolving credit facility (the "2018 Amended Revolver") under which the Company may borrow up to $1.5 billion, subject to certain sublimits, with a maturity date of December 17, 2023.

We are required to make scheduled principal payments under the 2018 Amended Term Loan in increasing amounts ranging from $9.375 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending on December 27, 2019 to $28.125 million per three-month period commencing with the three-month period ending December 29, 2022 and ending on September 29, 2023. The remaining balance of the 2018 Amended Term Loan and any amounts outstanding under the 2018 Amended Revolver are due at maturity. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2018 Credit Agreement, we may be required to make certain mandatory prepayments from the net proceeds of specified types of asset sales (subject to

51


certain reinvestment rights), debt issuances and insurance recoveries (subject to certain reinvestment rights). These mandatory prepayments are required to be applied by us, first, to the 2018 Amended Term Loan, second, to any outstanding amount under any Swing Line Loans (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement), third, to the 2018 Amended Revolver, fourth to prepay any outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit (as defined in the 2018 Credit Agreement) and fifth, to cash collateralize any Letters of Credit. Subject to certain limitations, we may voluntarily prepay any of the 2018 Credit Facilities without premium or penalty.

Borrowings are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the Company, with certain exceptions. For example, borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement are not secured by those accounts receivable that are transferred to the special purpose entity under the Company's Accounts Receivable Securitization program.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants restricting the ability of the Company, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and grant additional liens on its assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, and change the nature of their businesses. In addition, the 2018 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The 2018 Credit Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults and an event of default upon a change of control of the Company.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants (a total net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio) measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and an excess cash flow prepayment requirement measured as of the end of each fiscal year. As of June 29, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants.

2025 Senior Notes

The total aggregate principal balance of 2025 Senior Notes is $950.0 million. The 2025 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The 2025 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of October 10, 2017 and a supplement to such indenture, dated as of January 19, 2018, each among the Company, the guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2025 Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2025 and bear interest at the rate of 4.375% per year, payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2018. We may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes at any time prior to October 15, 2020 at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and a make-whole premium set forth in the Indenture. We may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before October 15, 2020, at a redemption price equal to 104.375% 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 2025 Senior Notes on or after: October 15, 2020 through October 14, 2021 at 102.188% of par; October 15, 2021 through October 14, 2022 at 101.094% of par; and October 15, 2022 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if there is a change of control coupled with a decline in ratings, as provided in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 2025 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

2028 Senior Notes

The total aggregate principal balance of the 2028 Senior Notes is $400.0 million. The 2028 Senior Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The 2028 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of January 19, 2018, among the Company, the guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2028 Senior Notes mature on February 1, 2028 and bear interest at the rate of 4.625% per year, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2018. We may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at any time prior to February 1, 2023 at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture. We may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at any time and from time to time before February 1, 2021, at a redemption price equal to 104.625% 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 2028 Senior Notes on or after: February 1, 2023 through February 1, 2024 at 102.312% of par; February 1, 2024 through February 1, 2025 at 101.541% of par; February 1, 2025 through February 1, 2026 at 100.770% of par; and February 1, 2026 and thereafter at 100% of par. In addition, if there is a

52


change of control coupled with a decline in ratings, as provided in the indenture, we will be required to make an offer to purchase each holder’s 2028 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

On April 25, 2016, we entered into a one-year $200.0 million accounts receivable securitization program (the "Securitization Program") with several of our wholly owned subsidiaries and certain financial institutions. The Securitization Program provides for annual renewals. Under the terms of the Securitization Program, we and certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries sell our customer receivables to a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, which is wholly-owned by us. The special purpose entity, as borrower, and we, as servicer, have entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with several lenders pursuant to which the special purpose entity may borrow from the lenders up to the maximum borrowing amount allowed, with the loans secured by the receivables. The amount that the special purpose entity may borrow at a given point in time is determined based on the amount of qualifying receivables that are present in the special purpose entity at such point in time. The assets of the special purpose entity secure the amounts borrowed and cannot be used to pay our other debts or liabilities.

Effective April 18, 2019, we entered into an amendment to extend the Securitization Program an additional year to April 17, 2020. Under the amendment, the maximum borrowing amount increased from $225.0 million to $250.0 million. As of June 29, 2019, $234.0 million was outstanding under the Securitization Program.

The Credit and Security Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, and an event of default upon a change of control. As of June 29, 2019, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Acquisition

On June 20, 2019, the Company announced it had entered into exclusive negotiations to acquire SuperSonic Imagine ("SSI") resulting in aggregate cash payments of approximately $85 million, which includes paying off SSI's outstanding debt. SSI is headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, France and specializes in ultrasound medical imaging. The expected structure of the transaction will result in the Company acquiring approximately 46% of SSI's outstanding shares in August 2019, and then subsequently, the Company will file a cash tender offer for all remaining outstanding shares of SSI. This tender offer, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2019, may be followed by a mandatory buy-out of any remaining outstanding shares if the applicable legal and regulatory requirements are met.
Stock Repurchase Program
On June 13, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase plan to repurchase up to $500.0 million of our outstanding common stock. This share repurchase plan, which replaced the prior plan, was effective August 1, 2018 and expires on June 13, 2023. Under this authorization, during fiscal 2019, we repurchased 4.8 million shares of our common stock for a total consideration of $200.1 million. As of June 29, 2019, $211.5 million was available under this authorization.

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, as applicable 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. Information with respect to this disclosure may be found in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Future Liquidity Considerations

We expect to continue to review and evaluate potential strategic transactions and alliances that we believe will complement our current or future business. Subject to the “Risk Factors” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, if any, as well as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018 or any other

53


of our subsequently filed reports, and the general disclaimers set forth in our Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the outset of this Quarterly Report, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, the cash available under our 2018 Amended Revolver and our Securitization Program will provide us with sufficient funds in order to fund our expected normal operations and debt payments 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, acquisitions, strategic transactions or other investments. As described above, we have significant indebtedness outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement, 2025 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes and the Securitization Program. 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 29, 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, valuations, purchase price allocations and contingent consideration related to business combinations, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, terminal values and other assumptions used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, estimated fair values of intangible assets and goodwill, amortization methods and periods, warranty reserves, certain accrued expenses, restructuring and other related charges, stock-based compensation, contingent liabilities, tax reserves and recoverability of our net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. For a discussion of how these and other factors may affect our business, see the “Cautionary Statement” above and “Risk Factors” set forth in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report as well as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018 or any other of our subsequently filed reports.
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 29, 2018. 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 29, 2018 with the exception of our critical accounting policies related to the adoption of ASC Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) effective September 30, 2018, as described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

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, cost-method equity investments, insurance contracts, interest rate cap agreements, forward foreign currency contracts, accounts payable and debt obligations. Except for our outstanding 2025 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amount. The fair value of our 2025 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes as of June 29, 2019 was approximately $963.1 million and $406.0 million, respectively. Amounts outstanding under our 2018 Credit Agreement and Securitization Program of $1.5 billion and $234.0 million, respectively, as of June 29, 2019 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.
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 2025 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, 2018 Credit Agreement and Securitization Program. The 2025 Senior Notes and 2028 Senior Notes have fixed interest rates. Borrowings under our 2018 Credit Agreement currently bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate (i.e., Libor) plus the applicable margin of 1.375% per annum. Borrowings under our Securitization Program currently bear interest at Libor plus the applicable margin of 0.70%.
As of June 29, 2019, there was $1.5 billion of aggregate principal outstanding under the 2018 Credit Agreement and $234.0 million aggregate principal outstanding under the Securitization Program. Since these debt obligations are variable rate

54

Table of Contents

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 approximately $4.2 million. We entered into multiple interest rate cap agreements to help mitigate the interest rate volatility associated with the variable rate interest on the amounts outstanding. The critical terms of the interest rate caps were designed to mirror the terms of our LIBOR-based borrowings under the 2018 Credit Agreement, and therefore the interest rate caps are highly effective at offsetting the cash flows being hedged. We designated these derivatives as cash flow hedges of the variability of the LIBOR-based interest payments on $1.0 billion of principal. These interest rate cap agreements expire through December 23, 2020.
The return from cash and cash equivalents will vary as short-term interest rates change. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates, however, would not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk. Our international business is subject to risks, including, but not limited to: unique economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, other regulations and restrictions, and foreign exchange rate volatility. Accordingly, our future results could be materially adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors.

We conduct business worldwide and maintain sales and service offices outside the United States as well as manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica and the United Kingdom. Our international sales are denominated in a number of currencies, primarily the Euro, U.S. dollar, UK Pound and Renminbi. The majority of our foreign subsidiaries' functional currency is the local currency, although certain foreign subsidiaries functional currency is the U.S. dollar based on the nature of their operations or functions. Our revenues denominated in foreign currencies are positively affected when the U.S. dollar weakens against them and adversely effected when the U.S. dollar strengthens. Fluctuations in foreign currency rates could affect our sales, cost of goods and operating margins and could result in exchange losses. In addition, currency devaluations can result in a loss if we hold deposits of that currency. We have executed forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of results denominated in the Euro, UK Pound, Australian dollar, Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan and Canadian dollar. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, we may experience volatility in our Consolidated Statements of Operations due to (i) the impact of unrealized gains and losses reported in other income, net from the mark-to-market of outstanding contracts and (ii) realized gains and losses recognized in other income, net, whereas the offsetting economic gains and losses are reported in the line item of the underlying cash flow, for example, revenue.
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 foreign currencies are affected by changes in the relative strength of the U.S. dollar against those currencies. Our expenses, denominated in foreign currencies, are positively affected when the U.S. dollar strengthens against them 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 in which we transact 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 29, 2019, 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 29, 2019.
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.

5.     EXCISE TAX PAYMENTS

a.     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement and benefits provided to, or for the benefit of, the Executive under any other Company plan or agreement (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to the Executive shall be subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the "Limited Payment Amount"). Unless the Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the
Company to effectuate the Limited Payment Amount, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments, by first reducing or eliminating those payments or benefits which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the "Determination" (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive's rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

b.     An initial determination as to whether the Payments shall be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount pursuant to the Plan and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount shall be made by an accounting firm at the Company's expense selected by the Company which is designated as one of the six largest accounting firms in the United States (the "Accounting Firm"). The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Executive within five (5) days of the Termination Date, if applicable, or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Executive (provided the Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax), and if the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable by the Executive with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish the Executive with an opinion, at the Company's expense, reasonably acceptable to the Executive that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Executive, the Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the "Dispute"). If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive subject to the application of Section 5(c) below.

c.     As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 2800 of the Code, it is possible that the Payments to be made to, or provided for the benefit of, the Executive either have been made or will not be made by the Company which, in either case, will be inconsistent with the limitations provided in Section 5(a) (hereinafter referred to as an "Excess Payment" or "Underpayment", respectively). If it is established pursuant to a final determination of a court, or an Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved, that an Excess Payment has been made, such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to be a loan to the Executive made on the date the Executive received the Excess Payment and the Executive shall repay the Excess Payment to the Company, on demand (but not less than thirty (30) days after written notice is received by the Executive), together with interest on the Excess Payment at the "Applicable Federal Rate" (as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code) from the date of the Executive's receipt of such Excess Payment until the date of such repayment. In the event that it is determined by (i) the Accounting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return) or the IRS, (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, or (iii) upon the resolution to the Executive's satisfaction of the Dispute, that an underpayment has occurred, the Company shall pay an amount equal to the Underpayment to the Executive within thirty (30) days of such determination or resolution, together with interest on such amount at the Applicable Federal Rate from the date such amount would have been paid to the Executive until the date of payment.

d.     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, the Company shall pay to the applicable government taxing authorities, as Excise Tax withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that the Company has actually withheld from the Payment or Payments.

6.     SUCCESSORS: BINDING AGREEMENT.

a.     This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company, and its Successors and Assigns, and the Company shall require any Successors and Assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

b.     Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by the Executive, his or her beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal representative.

c.     In the event that a Subsidiary or Division (or part thereof) is sold, divested, or otherwise disposed of by the Company subsequent to or in connection with a Change in Control and the Executive is offered employment by the purchaser or acquirer thereof, the Company shall require such purchaser or acquiror to assume, and agree to perform, the Company's obligations under this Agreement, in the same manner, and to the same extent, that the Company would be required to perform if no such acquisition or purchase had taken place.

All notices and communications shall be deemed to have been received on the date of delivery thereof or on the third business day after the mailing thereof, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

9.     NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive's continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company (except for any severance or termination policies, plans, programs or practices) and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with the Company (except for any severance or termination agreement).

13.     OTHER CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT.

2.    Effect of Change of Control and Obligations of the Company upon Termination Following a Change of Control.
    
(a)    Termination Following a Change of Control as a Result of Death, Disability or Cause. If the Company consummates a Change of Control and during the Change of Control Period the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause or as a result of the Executive’s death or disability, then this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representatives under this Agreement, other than for payment of any Accrued Obligations and any other benefits or compensation payable under any employee benefit plan in accordance with the applicable plans’ terms.

(b)    Termination Following a Change of Control Other Than for Death, Disability or Cause or as a Result of Good Reason. If the Company consummates a Change of Control and during the Change of Control Period the Company terminates the Executive’s employment other than for death or Disability or Cause, or if the Executive terminates employment for Good Reason then the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within thirty (30) days after the Date of Termination the aggregate of the following amounts: (i) all Accrued Obligations; (ii) a lump sum amount equal to the product of (X) one (1) multiplied by (Y) the sum of (A) the Annual Base Salary and (B) the Average Annual Bonus; (iii) any other benefits or compensation payable under any employee benefit plan in accordance with the applicable plans’ terms; (iv) all unvested options, restricted stock or stock appreciation rights which Executive then holds to acquire securities from the Company, shall be immediately and automatically exercisable as of the Date of Termination notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary contained herein or in any option agreement, restricted stock agreement or other equity compensation agreement, between the Company and the Executive, or any stock option, restricted stock or other equity compensation plans sponsored by the Company, unless such agreement or plan expressly references and supersedes this Agreement; and (v) the Company shall timely pay and provide Welfare Benefit Continuation for the twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination; provided, however, that if the Executive becomes reemployed with another employer and is eligible to receive medical or dental benefits under another employer provided plan, the medical or dental benefits described herein shall be secondary to those provided under such other plan during such applicable period of eligibility.

3.    Non-exclusivity of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 3, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit the Executive’s continuing or future participation in any benefit, bonus, incentive or other plans, programs, policies or practices, provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies and for which the Executive may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or otherwise affect such rights as the Executive may have under any other agreements with the Company or any of its affiliated companies; provided, however, that in the event the Executive is entitled to benefits under Section 2(b), then the Executive shall have no right to severance under any separate agreement with the Company or any plan or policy of the Company.

4.    No Duty to Mitigate. In no event shall the Executive be obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement and, except as provided in Section 6, such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other employment.

5.    Full Settlement/Release. The Executive shall only be entitled to receive payments and accelerated vesting under Sections 2(b)(ii) and 2(b)(iv), respectively, if Executive: (a) executes a general release of the Company, in a form and of a scope determined by the Company in its sole discretion including, without limitation, non-disparagement provisions (the “Release”) and executes and returns the Release to the Company, without revoking such Release, within fifty-two (52) days of the date of termination of Executive’s employment (the “Consideration Period”) and provided that if the termination date occurs in one calendar year and the Consideration Period (including the payment date) expires during the following calendar year, then notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the payment of the benefits under Sections 2(b)(ii) and 2(b)(iv) will be paid by the Company to the Executive in the second calendar year; (b) continues to comply with the provisions of any Non-Competition Agreements; and (c) prior to expiration of the Consideration Period (i) presents satisfactory evidence to the Company that she/he has returned all Company property, confidential information and documentation to the Company, and (ii) provides the Company with a signed, written resignation of Executive’s status as an officer and/or director of the Company or any of its affiliates, if applicable. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that Executive has breached, or has threatened to breach, any material provision of the aforementioned restrictive covenants set forth in a separate written agreement, the Company shall immediately terminate all payments and benefits and Executive shall no longer be entitled to such benefits. Such termination of benefits shall be in addition to any and all legal and equitable remedies available to the Company, including injunctive relief. The Company shall pay all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur in seeking to obtain or enforce, by bringing an action against the Company, any right or benefit provided in this Agreement, if the Executive prevails in such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, payment shall be made by the earlier of the end of the calendar year in which the Consideration Period ends or the first business day following expiration of the Consideration Period.

6.    280G.

(a)    In the event that the Executive shall become entitled to payment and/or benefits provided by this Agreement or any other amounts in the “nature of compensation” (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose actions result in a change of ownership or effective control covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person) as a result of such change in ownership or effective control (collectively the “Company Payments”), and such Company Payments will be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (and any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed by any taxing authority) the Company shall pay to the Executive the greatest of the following, whichever gives the Executive the highest net after-tax amount (after taking into account federal, state, local and social security taxes at the maximum marginal rates): (1) the Company Payments or (2) one dollar less than the amount of the Company Payments that would subject the Executive to the Excise Tax. In the event that the Company Payments are required to be reduced pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then the Company Payments shall be reduced as mutually agreed between the Company and the Executive or, in the event the parties cannot agree, in the following order (1) any lump sum severance based on Base Salary or Annual Bonus, (2) any other cash amounts payable to the Executive, (3) any benefits valued as parachute payments; and (4) acceleration of vesting of any equity.
(b)    For purposes of determining whether any of the Company Payments will be subject to the Excise Tax and the amount of such Excise Tax, (x) the Company Payments shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all “parachute payments” in excess of the “base amount” (as defined under Code Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) shall be treated as subject to the Excise Tax, unless and except to the extent that, in the opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants appointed prior to any change in ownership (as defined under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) or tax counsel selected by such accountants or the Company (the “Accountants”) such Company Payments (in whole or in part) either do not constitute “parachute payments,” represent reasonable compensation for services actually rendered within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code in excess of the “base amount” or are otherwise not subject to the Excise Tax, and (y) the value of any non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Accountants. All determinations hereunder shall be made by the Accountants which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and the Executive at such time as it is requested by the Company or the Executive. If the Accountants determine that payments under this Agreement must be reduced pursuant to this paragraph, they shall furnish the Executive with a written opinion to such effect. The determination of the Accountants shall be final and binding upon the Company and the Executive.
(c)    In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) with regard to the Excise Tax, the Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to the Excise Tax (at its expense), provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, but the Executive shall control any other issues. In the event the issues are interrelated, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of either issue, but if the parties cannot agree the Executive shall make the final determination with regard to the issues. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit the representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the Executive and the Executive’s representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.
7.    Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a period commencing on July 24, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2020; provided, that, commencing on January 1, 2020 and each January 1st thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for an additional year unless, not later than thirty (30) days prior to such January 1, the Company shall have given notice that it does not wish to extend this Agreement; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any such notice by the Company not to extend, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of twenty-four (24) months beyond the term provided herein if a Change in Control shall have occurred during such term.

8.    Acknowledgment and Confirmation of Non-Competition Agreements. The Executive hereby acknowledges and confirms the obligations of the Executive to the Company under any Non-Competition Agreements and that such acknowledgment and confirmation is given by the Executive as further consideration for the covenants and agreements of the Company hereunder.
    
9.    Miscellaneous.

or to such other address as either party shall have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith. Notices and communications shall be effective when actually received by the addressee.

(c)    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

(d)    Tax Withholding. The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such Federal, state or local taxes as shall be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(e)    Waiver. The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any other provision thereof.

(f)    Entire Agreement/Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Company and the Executive with respect to the rights and other benefits that the Executive shall be entitled during the Change of Control Period; provided, however, that the Employee Intellectual Property Rights and Non-Competition Agreement, option agreement or other employment agreement by and between the Company and Executive shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement may not be amended or modified otherwise than by a written agreement executed by the parties hereto or their respective successors and legal representatives.

(g)    Successors. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by the Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive’s legal representatives. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume expressly and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

(h)    At Will Employment. The Executive and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between the Executive and the Company, the employment of the Executive by the Company is “at will” and may be terminated by either the Executive or the Company at any time. Moreover, if prior to the Effective Date, the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, then the Executive shall have no further rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, if, during the Change of Control Period, the Executive shall terminate employment with the Company other than for Good Reason, the Executive shall have no liability to the Company.

(i)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(j)    Construction. As used herein, unless the context otherwise dictates, the term “Company” shall be read to include the Company and each of its parents and subsidiaries, and any of their respective subsidiaries.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set his hand and, pursuant to the authorization from its Board of Directors, the Company has caused these presents to be executed in its name on its behalf, all as of the day and year first above written.
