Gross margin was 54.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with 47.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating expenses were $111.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $106.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The Company had operating income of $30.8 million and a 11.8% operating margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared with operating income of $1.4 million and an operating margin of 0.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The income tax rates were 22% and (48%) in the first quarters of fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. First quarter fiscal 2023 net income and earnings per diluted share were $19.9 million and $0.38, respectively, compared with net loss and net loss per share of $4.5 million and $0.09, respectively, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

ADJUSTED RESULTS

Organic revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was up 16.6% compared with the same period of fiscal 2022. Business unit organic revenue growth rates compared with the prior year period were as follows:

1st Quarter 2023 Organic
Plasma 43.9%
Blood Center (7.2%)
Hospital 14.9%
Net business unit revenue 17.1%
Service (2.5%)
Total net revenue 16.6%

First quarter fiscal 2023 adjusted gross margin was 55.2%, up 50 basis points compared with the prior year period. The primary drivers of the increase were volume and mix, price and productivity savings from the Operational Excellence Program, partially offset by inflationary pressures in our global manufacturing and supply chain and increased depreciation expense.

Adjusted operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 were $99.5 million, up $12.4 million, or 14.2%, compared with the prior year period. The increase in adjusted operating expenses was primarily driven by continuous growth investments, an increase in freight costs and a return to normal spending levels partially offset by productivity savings from the Operational Excellence Program. Adjusted operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $44.9 million, up $7.0 million or 18.4%, and adjusted operating margin was 17.2%, up 60 basis points when compared with the same period of fiscal 2022. The adjusted income tax rate was 24% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with an adjusted income tax rate of 24% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

First quarter fiscal 2023 adjusted net income was $30.2 million, up $4.7 million, or 18.6%, and adjusted earnings per diluted share was $0.58, up 16.0%, each when compared with the same period of fiscal 2022.

In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company incurred $3.2 million of costs related to compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation, as compared with $2.4 million of such costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company announced that its Board of Directors recently authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of Haemonetics common shares over the next three years. This new share repurchase program will help to offset the dilutive impact of recent and future employee equity grants. The timing and amounts of activity under the repurchase program will be at management's discretion with the intent of beginning activity under the program during fiscal 2023. In addition to this share repurchase activity, the Company's capital allocation strategy continues to prioritize funding of planned internal investments to support the business as well as inorganic opportunities to accelerate its long-term growth plans.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, outstanding shares of common stock in accordance with applicable laws on the open market, including under trading plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in privately negotiated transactions. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements and compliance with the terms of loan covenants. The share repurchase program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Any statements contained in this press release that do not describe historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this press release may include, without limitation, statements regarding (i) plans and objectives of management for operations of the Company, including plans or objectives related to the development and commercialization of, and regulatory approvals related to, the Company's products and plans or objectives related to the Operational Excellence Program; (ii) estimates or projections of financial results, financial condition, capital expenditures, capital structure or other financial items, including with respect to the share repurchase program; (iii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated inflationary pressures on the Company's operations, availability and demand for its products, and future financial performance, and (iv) the assumptions underlying or relating to any statement described in points (i), (ii) or (iii) above. Such forward-looking statements are not meant to predict or guarantee actual results, performance, events or circumstances and may not be realized because they are based upon the Company's current projections, plans, objectives, beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and other influences. Actual results and the timing of certain events and circumstances may differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. Factors that may influence or contribute to the inaccuracy of the forward-looking statements or cause actual results to differ materially from expected or desired results may include, without limitation, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its scope and duration (including the extent of future surges, variants and the efficacy of vaccinations), government actions and restrictive measures implemented in response and associated economic disruptions, including inflationary pressures and higher freight costs in our global supply chain; availability and demand for the Company's products; the Company's ability to implement as planned and realize estimated cost savings from the Operational Excellence Program; the Company's ability to execute business continuity plans; risks arising from planned or completed acquisitions or divestitures by the Company, including any failure to realize the anticipated strategic benefits and opportunities of the transaction; the impact of share repurchases on the Company's stock price and volatility as well as the effect of short-term price fluctuations on the share repurchase program's effectiveness; technological advances in the medical field and standards for transfusion medicine and the Company's ability to successfully offer products that incorporate such advances and standards; product quality; market acceptance; regulatory uncertainties, including in the receipt or timing of regulatory approvals; the effect of economic and political conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; blood product reimbursement policies and practices; and the effect of industry consolidation as seen in the plasma market. These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in the Company's periodic

reports and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

MANAGEMENT'S USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures that are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. Management uses non-GAAP measures to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. Performance targets for management are also based on certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, the Company's reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In this release, supplemental non-GAAP measures have been provided to assist investors in evaluating the performance of the Company's core operations and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in the Company's underlying businesses. We strongly encourage investors to review the Company's financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

When used in this release, organic revenue growth excludes the impact of currency fluctuation and strategic exits of product lines. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude restructuring and restructuring related costs, deal amortization expenses, asset impairments, accelerated device depreciation and related costs, costs related to compliance with the European Union Medical Device Regulation and In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation, integration and transaction costs, gains and losses on dispositions, certain tax settlements and unusual or infrequent and material litigation-related charges. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share also exclude the tax impact of these items. Free cash flow before restructuring and restructuring related costs is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP historical financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measure are included at the end of the financial sections of this press release as well as on the Company's website at www.haemonetics.com. The Company does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of its forward-looking organic revenue growth guidance by business unit to the comparable GAAP measure because forecasting the impact of foreign currency fluctuations by business unit is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. Additionally, the Company does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted operating margin guidance, adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance or free cash flow before restructuring and restructuring related costs guidance to the comparable GAAP measures because the combined impact and timing of recognition of certain potential charges or gains, such as restructuring costs and impairment charges, is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of the Company's financial performance.
