  • Net income of $10.6 million.$0.13 GAAP EPS / $0.19 Non-GAAP EPS

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masimo Corporation (Nasdaq: MASI), the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry and Read-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, with product revenues of $47.6 million representing a 26% increase over $37.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. Including royalty revenues, Masimo reported total second quarter revenues of $63.7 million compared to $55.8 million for the second quarter of 2006. Net income for the quarter was $10.6 million, representing $0.13 GAAP or $0.19 non-GAAP earnings per common share.

Masimo also shipped a record 29,600 Masimo SET and Masimo Rainbow SET pulse oximeter units, excluding handheld pulse oximeters, during the second quarter of 2007, up from 23,700 in the comparable prior year period, resulting in an estimated worldwide installed base of 424,000 Masimo SET pulse oximeters.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Masimo's net income was $10.6 million compared to $13.9 million for the same quarter in 2006. These results reflect expected decreases in royalty revenue and interest income resulting from the January 2006 patent litigation settlement and related dividend distributions, as well as planned increases in research and development, sales, marketing and general and administrative expenses to support additional product development efforts and the Company's global business expansion. Under the two class method for computing and reporting earnings per share, the Company reported second quarter 2007 net income attributable to common stockholders of $2.8 million or $0.13 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 20,732,014 as compared to $3.9 million or $0.19 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 20,301,629 for the second quarter 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, on a non-GAAP basis and adjusting only for the assumed conversion of preferred stock into common stock in connection with the Company's recently completed initial public offering, net income was $0.19 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 55,344,517 as compared to $0.25 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 54,914,132 in the prior year period.

Joe E. Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "We are happy to report a record second quarter with solid product revenue growth and net income that exceeded expectations. These results reflect the clinical community's recognition of the benefits of our breakthrough read-through motion pulse oximetry, our strong customer service, and continued commitment to innovation, as evidenced by our new Rainbow SET platform."

For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, Masimo's product revenues were $93.4 million, up 29% from $72.5 million in the same prior year period. Including royalty revenues, Masimo's total revenues were $122.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, up from $105.1 million in the prior year period. In the six month period ended June 30, 2007, Masimo shipped a record 56,200 Masimo SET and Masimo Rainbow SET pulse oximeter units, excluding handheld pulse oximeters, compared to 46,600 in the same prior year period.

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 was $19.7 million compared to $158.6 million in the comparable prior year period, which included $262.6 million in net patent litigation settlement proceeds and various one- time stock-based compensation charges related to dividend and bonus payments authorized in the first quarter of 2006. Under the two class method for computing and reporting earnings per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, Masimo reported net income attributable to common stockholders was $5.1 million, or $0.25 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 20,669,111, as compared to $2.67 per common share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 19,975,936 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. For the six- month period ended June 30, 2007, on a non-GAAP basis and adjusting only for the assumed conversion of preferred stock into common stock in connection with Masimo's recently completed initial public offering, Masimo's net income was $0.36 per common share based on total weighted average common shares of 55,311,614 as compared to $2.91 per share based on weighted average common shares outstanding of 54,588,439 in the prior year period.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $35.0 million at June 30, 2007.

In August 2007, Masimo completed its initial public offering of 13,704,120 million common shares, comprised of 10,416,626 shares sold on behalf of selling stockholders and 3,287,494 shares sold on behalf of the Company, inclusive of the underwriters' full exercise of its over-allotment option. The shares were sold at $17.00 per share, for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $47.0 million.

During the first six months of 2007, Masimo introduced a variety of new products including the new color Radical-7 and its latest measurement, Pleth Variability Index (PVI). The Radical-7 comes standard with the Rainbow SET MX circuit board which allows for upgrades to additional measurements through purchased software upgrades. PVI is a noninvasive measurement of functional hemodynamics, which clinicians have indicated may be valuable in monitoring fluid responsiveness and cardiac function. In the second quarter, Masimo also introduced its line of Rainbow single patient use adhesive sensors for adults, children, infants and neonates. The Rainbow sensors are capable of measuring not only oxygen saturation (SpO2), Pulse Rate and Perfusion Index, but also, carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO), methemoglobin (SpMet) and PVI. In June 2007, Masimo received U.S. Food & Drug Administration 510(k) clearance expanding its claims for SpMet monitoring to cover neonatal patients with its neonatal and infant Rainbow adhesive sensors. The ability to continuously and noninvasively measure methemoglobin levels in neonatal patients is especially important due to the use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy to treat hypoxic respiratory failure in newborns, which has been shown to induce methemoglobinemia.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2007, Masimo expects total revenues to be approximately $245 million and total product revenues to be approximately $195 million. The Company expects full year GAAP earnings per share to be approximately $0.43 and non-GAAP earnings per share, adjusted only for the assumed conversion of preferred stock into common stock in connection with Masimo's recently completed initial public offering, to be approximately $0.55. The projections and guidance set forth above are estimates only and actual performance could differ.

Non-GAAP Measures

Masimo prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results and to provide a meaningful period-over-period comparison of the Company's financial performance, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The differences between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled below. In presenting comparable results, the Company discloses non- GAAP financial measures when it believes such measures will be useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company's underlying business performance on a comparable basis with past and future reported earnings per share and with the financial guidance provided within this press release. Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's financial performance against internal budgets and targets. Importantly, the Company believes non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

About Masimo

Masimo develops innovative monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care-helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In 1995, the company debuted Read-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET, and with it virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies have confirmed that Masimo SET technology allows clinicians to accurately monitor blood oxygen saturation in critical care situations. Our Masimo SET platform has significantly addressed many of the previous technology limitations, has substantially contributed to improved patient outcomes and has been referred to by several industry sources as the gold standard in pulse oximetry. In 2005, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry, which, for the first time, noninvasively monitors the level of carbon monoxide and methemoglobin in the blood, allowing early detection and treatment of potentially life-threatening conditions. Founded in 1989, Masimo has the mission of "Improving Patient Outcomes and Reducing Cost of Care by Taking Noninvasive Monitoring to New Sites and Applications."

       Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Earnings per Share

The following tables provide a comparison of our earnings per share calculated under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-6, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128", or EITF 03- 6, in accordance with GAAP and the non-GAAP if converted method based upon Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 128 "Earnings per Share", or FASB 128. The non-GAAP if converted method assumes conversion of all shares of the Company's preferred stock into common stock as of December 31, 2006. As a result of the three-for-one forward stock split of our common stock effected on June 25, 2007, the conversion price of each outstanding share of our preferred stock was reduced to one-third of the pre-stock split conversion price, which effectively increased the conversion ratio to three shares of common stock for one share of preferred stock. Upon closing of our initial public offering on August 13, 2007, all outstanding shares of our preferred stock were converted into an aggregate of 34,612,503 shares of common stock. Therefore, effective August 13, 2007, the Company transitioned from computing earnings per share from the two class method, in accordance with EITF 03-6 to the if converted method in accordance with FASB 128. The Company believes that the following non-GAAP earnings per share information is relevant and useful information that can be used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to assess the Company's performance on a comparable basis to future reported earnings per share. Accordingly, the Company is disclosing this information to permit additional analysis of the Company's performance (in thousands, except share data):

    Adjustments:
    (1)  Under the if converted method, no shares of preferred stock would
         have been outstanding, therefore no dividends would have been
         recorded specifically for preferred shareholders.
    (2)  Under the if converted method, no shares of preferred stock would
         have been outstanding; therefore no allocation of undistributed
         income to preferred stockholders would have been made.
    (3)  Under the if converted method, no shares of preferred stock would
         have been outstanding; therefore no accretion of preferred stock
         would have been recorded.
    (4)  Under the if converted method, all shares of preferred stock would
         have been outstanding of the entire period.
