Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024.
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 relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. There were no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events as of or for the six months ended September 28, 2024.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS
Acquisitions
Attune Medical
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Advanced Cooling Therapy, Inc., d/b/a Attune Medical ("Attune Medical"), the manufacturer of the ensoETM®proactive esophageal cooling device, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Attune Medical. On April 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Attune Medical for total consideration of $187.7 million, which included an upfront cash payment of $162.0 million, or $150.5 million net of cash acquired, the fair value of contingent consideration of $25.3 million, and $0.4 million of working capital adjustments. The contingent consideration is based on sales growth over the next three years, which is uncapped, and the achievement of certain other milestones. The Company financed the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Attune Medical's ensoETM technology is designed for use across a range of medical conditions involving patient cooling or warming, including treatment in electrophysiology, critical care, neurocritical care, trauma, burn surgery, spine surgery, and cancer surgery, among others. The Company's addition of the Esophageal Protection product line through its acquisition of

Table of Contents
Attune Medical expands the Hospital business unit's presence in electrophysiology and complements its Vascular Closure product line within Interventional Technologies, which is included in the Hospital reportable segment.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (Topic 805), recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recognized based on management's estimates and assumptions using the information regarding facts and circumstances that existed at the closing date. The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available at the time the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared. The most significant open item is the accounting for income taxes as the Company is awaiting additional information to complete its assessment of these matters. Measurement period adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are determined, as if they had been completed at the acquisition date. The finalization of the Company's purchase accounting assessment could result in changes in the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which could be material. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the measurement period as required by Topic 805.
The preliminary purchase price of $176.2 million, net of $11.5 million of cash acquired, consists of the amounts presented below, which represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
(In thousands) April 1, 2024
Accounts receivable $ 3,784
Inventories 26,300
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 906
Property, plant and equipment 200
Intangible assets 105,800
Goodwill 70,256
Total assets acquired $ 207,246
Accounts payable 2,260
Accrued payroll and related costs 2,129
Other liabilities 496
Deferred tax liability 26,155
Total liabilities assumed $ 31,040
Net assets acquired $ 176,206
The Company determined that the identifiable intangible assets were developed technology, customer contracts and related relationships and trade names. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuation techniques with estimates and assumptions developed by the Company. Developed technology was valued using the excess earnings method. Customer contracts and related relationships were valued using the distributor method. The trademark was valued using the relief from royalty method. The cash flows used in the valuation of the intangible assets were based on estimates used to price the transaction. In developing the discount rates applied to the cash flow projections, the discount rates were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital and then adjusted to reflect the relative risk of the asset.
The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. As a result of the acquisition of Attune Medical, the Company recognized goodwill of $70.3 million based on expected synergies from integration into our Hospital business. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and relates entirely to the Hospital reportable segment.

Trade names 1,900 10 years 21.5 %

("OpSens"), a medical device cardiology-focused company delivering solutions based on its proprietary optical technology, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of OpSens. On December 12, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of OpSens for total consideration of approximately $254.5 million, or $243.9 million, net of cash acquired. The Company financed the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
OpSens offers commercially and clinically validated optical technology for use primarily in interventional cardiology. OpSens' core products include the SavvyWire®, a sensor-guided 3-in-1 guidewire for TAVR procedures, advancing the workflow of the procedure and enabling potentially shorter hospital stays for patients; and the OptoWire®, a pressure guidewire that aims to improve clinical outcomes by accurately and consistently measuring Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. OpSens also manufactures a range of fiber optic sensor solutions used in medical devices and other critical industrial applications. The addition of OpSens expands the Hospital business unit portfolio in the interventional cardiology market and is included in the Hospital reportable segment.

Strategic Investments
As part of the Company's business development activities, it holds strategic investments in certain entities.
As of September 28, 2024, the Company has made total investments in Vivasure Medical LTD ("Vivasure") of €35 million. The investments include both preferred stock and a special share that allows the Company to acquire Vivasure in accordance with an agreement between the parties. In addition, the Company made certain other strategic investments totaling $10.9 million and $7.6 million during fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company's strategic investments are classified as other long-term assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company has not recorded any adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investments during three and six months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
4. REVENUE
As of September 28, 2024, the Company had $30.5 million of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations related to executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more. The Company expects to recognize approximately 77% of this amount as revenue within the next twelve months and the remaining balance thereafter.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and contract assets, as well as customer advances, customer deposits and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The difference in timing between billing and revenue recognition primarily occurs in software licensing arrangements, resulting in contract assets and contract liabilities.
As of September 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company had contract liabilities of $36.7 million and $31.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized $8.5 million and $21.8 million of revenue, respectively, that was included in the above March 30, 2024 contract liability balance. Contract liabilities are classified as other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, the Company's contract assets were immaterial.
5. RESTRUCTURING
On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the global economy, the healthcare industry, and the markets in which it competes to identify opportunities for efficiencies, enhance commercial capabilities, align its resources and offer its customers better solutions. In order to realize these opportunities, the Company undertakes restructuring-type activities to transform its business.
Operational Excellence Program
In July 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Operational Excellence Program (the "2020 Program") and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the detail of the initiatives that will comprise the program. During fiscal 2022, the Company revised the program to improve product and service quality, reduce cost principally in its manufacturing and supply chain operations and ensure sustainability while helping to offset impacts from a previously announced customer loss, rising inflationary pressures and effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company expects to incur aggregate charges between $85.0 million and $90.0 million by the end of fiscal 2025 under the program. The majority of charges will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, and will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved. During the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company incurred $1.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $2.0 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program. Total cumulative charges under this program are $81.1 million.

6. INCOME TAXES
The Company conducts business globally and reports its results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. The Company's reported tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings in any given period as the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates have tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate. The Company's effective tax rate is adversely impacted by non-deductible expenses including executive compensation and transaction costs.
For the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company reported income tax expense of $10.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 24.3% and 21.0%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024, which includes an immaterial discrete tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2024 includes $3.6 million of discrete tax benefit, primarily related to stock compensation windfalls. The discrete benefit also includes other items such as provision to return differences.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported income tax expense of $7.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 24.1% and 21.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 includes $0.1 million of discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock compensation windfalls. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2023 includes $1.3 million of discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock compensation windfalls.
The increase in the reported tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, relates primarily to the unfavorable impact of the jurisdictional mix of earnings and non-deductible acquisition-related expenses. The decrease in the reported tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, relates primarily to increased discrete tax benefits year-over-year, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of jurisdictional mix of earnings and non-deductible acquisition-related expenses.
On August 26, 2024, the U.S. Tax Court issued a decision in Varian Medical Systems, Inc. v. Commissioner. The decision related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Transition Tax on unrepatriated earnings of applicable foreign subsidiaries. The Company is still evaluating the impact and whether to file a protective refund claim with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using its weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method and the outstanding convertible senior notes as determined under the net share settlement method. From the time of the issuance of the convertible senior notes, the average market price of the Company's common shares has been less than the applicable initial conversion prices, and consequently no shares have been included in diluted earnings per share for the conversion values of both convertible senior notes. For the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of $0.8 million anti-dilutive shares for both periods. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution, excludes the impact of $0.7 millionand $0.6 millionanti-dilutive shares, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
In August 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a three-year share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of Haemonetics common stock, based on market conditions, through August 2025. 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.
In August 2024, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement ("ASR") with Citibank N.A. ("Citibank") to repurchase $75.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, in August 2024, the Company paid Citibank $75.0 million in cash and received an initial delivery of 0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock based on a closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on August 28, 2024 of $75.08. This initial delivery of shares represented approximately 80% of the notional amount of the ASR. The ASR was completed in October 2024, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and 0.2 million additional shares were delivered upon settlement. As of September 28, 2024, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program was $150.0 million.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company received $19.9 million of cash upon the sale of a manufacturing facility and related assets that previously met held for sale criteria, which resulted in a gain of $14.1 million that was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
10. LEASES
Lessor Activity
Assets on the Company's balance sheet classified as Haemonetics equipment primarily consist of medical devices installed at customer sites but owned by Haemonetics. These devices are leased to customers under contractual arrangements that typically include an operating or sales-type lease as well as the purchase and consumption of a certain level of disposable products. Sales-type leases are not significant. Contract terms vary by customer and may include options to terminate the contract or options to extend the contract. Where devices are provided under operating lease arrangements, a substantial majority of the entire lease revenue is variable and subject to subsequent non-lease component (disposable products) sales. The allocation of revenue between the lease and non-lease components is based on estimated stand-alone selling prices. Operating lease revenue represents less than 3 percent of the Company's total net sales.

Convertible Senior Notes
2026 Notes
In March 2021, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). The 2026 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2026 Notes will mature on March 1, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company repurchased $200.0 million of the aggregate principal amount for $185.5 million, resulting in a gain of $14.5 million related to the discount on repurchase. As the repurchase of the 2026 Notes met the criteria for extinguishment accounting, $1.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were allocated to the repurchase, resulting in a net gain of $12.6 million, which was recorded in Interest and other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the conditions allowing holders of the 2026 Notes to convert have not been met. The 2026 Notes were therefore not convertible as of September 28, 2024 and were classified as long-term debt on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 28, 2024, the $300.0 million principal balance was netted down by $2.3 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $297.7 million. Interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, which is entirely attributable to the amortization of the debt issuance costs. The remaining debt issuance costs are amortized at an effective interest rate of 0.5%.

Table of Contents
2029 Notes
On May 28, 2024, the Company issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.5% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The total net proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and debt issuance costs, were $682.8 million, with a portion of funds used to repay the entirety of the balance on the revolving credit facility under the Company's second amended and restated credit agreement, to repurchase a portion of the Company's 2026 Notes and to complete capped call transactions in connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, as described further below. The Company intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for future cash requirements, which may include additional repurchases of the 2026 Notes from time to time following the offering, or the repayment at maturity of the 2026 Notes. The 2029 Notes will mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
Holders may convert their notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2028 only under the following circumstances:
•During any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) beginning after September 30, 2024, if, the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter;
•During the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2029 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day;
•The Company issues to common stockholders any rights, options, or warrants, entitling them, for a period of not more than 60 days, to purchase shares of common stock at a price per share less than the average closing sale price of 10 consecutive trading days, or the Company's election to make a distribution to common stockholders exceeding 10% of the previous day's closing sale price;
•Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, as set forth in the indenture governing the 2029 Notes; or
•Prior to the related redemption date if the Company calls the 2029 Notes for redemption.
On or after December 1, 2028, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2029 Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. The conversion rate for the 2029 Notes is 8.5385 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $117.12 per share of the Company's common stock), subject to adjustment as set forth in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at the Company's election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company's conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being converted. If a make-whole adjustment event, as described in the Indenture, occurs and a holder elects to convert its 2029 Notes in connection with such make-whole adjustment event, such holder may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate as described in the Indenture.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the conditions allowing holders of the 2029 Notes to convert have not been met. The 2029 Notes were therefore not convertible as of September 28, 2024 and were classified as long-term debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
The 2029 Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's option at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2027 and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, if the last reported sale price per share of the Company's common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date the Company sends the related redemption notice at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes involving the Company, holders of the 2029 Notes may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their 2029 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus
accrued and unpaid interest.

Table of Contents
As a result of the issuance of the 2029 Notes, the Company recorded debt issuance costs of $17.2 million, which will be amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the 2029 Notes at an effective interest rate of 3.0%.
As of September 28, 2024, the $700.0 million principal balance was netted down by $16.2 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $683.8 million. Interest expense related to the 2029 Notes was $5.2 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, which includes nominal interest expense and the amortization of the debt issuance costs.
Capped Calls
In connection with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain counterparties ("Capped Calls"). The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $117.12 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2029 Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $180.18 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls are expected to partially offset the potential dilution to the Company's common stock upon any conversion of the 2029 Notes, with such offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 5.98 million shares of the Company's common stock. For accounting purposes, the Capped Calls are separate transactions, and not part of the 2029 Notes. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the Capped Calls are recorded in stockholders' equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $88.2 million incurred to purchase the Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and will not be remeasured.
Credit Facilities
On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement to refinance its credit facilities initially entered into in 2018 and extend their maturity date through June 2025. The amended and restated credit agreement provided for a $280.0 million senior unsecured term loan and a $420.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the "2022 Revised Credit Facilities") with applicable interest rates during the period established using an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio, as specified in the agreement.
On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance the 2022 Revised Credit Facilities and extend their maturity date through April 2029. The second amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which, along with $12.5 million of cash on hand, were used to retire the balance of the term loan under the 2022 Revised Credit Facilities, and a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the "2024 Revised Credit Facilities"). Loans under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities will initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as specified in the second amended and restated credit agreement), which is subject to a floor of 0.0%, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio (as specified in the second amended and restated credit agreement) at the applicable measurement date. The revolving credit facility carries an unused fee that ranges from 0.125% to 0.250% annually based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio at the applicable measurement date. The 2024 Revised Credit Facilities mature on April 30, 2029. The principal amount of the term loan under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities amortizes quarterly through the maturity date at a rate of 2.5% for the first three years following the closing date, 5.0% for the fourth year following the closing date and 7.5% for the fifth year following the closing date, with the unpaid balance due at maturity.
Under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities, the Company is required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 4.0:1.0 or, on up to two occasions during the term of the facility, 4.5:1.0 for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended immediately following acquisitions meeting certain criteria specified in the agreement.
The Company applied modification accounting for the credit facility refinancing, which resulted in the capitalization of an additional $5.9 million in lender fees and third-party costs. During the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized $4.9 million and $12.0 million, respectively, of interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs related to its credit facilities.
At September 28, 2024, $248.4 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 6.7%, which was netted down by the $5.9 million of remaining debt discount, resulting in a net note payable of $242.5 million. The Company has scheduled principal payments of $6.3 million required during the 12 months following September 28, 2024. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facilities at September 28, 2024. The Company also had $19.8 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund its global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of September 28, 2024.

13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company manufactures, markets and sells its products globally. During both the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, 25.9% of the Company's sales were generated outside the U.S. in local currencies. The Company also incurs certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency.
Accordingly, earnings and cash flows are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, the Company's reporting currency. The Company has a program in place that is designed to mitigate the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the impact on its financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen and Euro, and to a lesser extent, Swiss Franc and Mexican Peso. This does not eliminate the impact of the volatility of foreign exchange rates. However, because the Company generally enters into forward contracts one year out, rates are fixed for a one-year period, thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation.
Designated Foreign Currency Hedge Contracts
All of the Company's designated foreign currency hedge contracts as of September 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024 were cash flow hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815"). The Company records the effective portion of any change in the fair value of designated foreign currency hedge contracts in other comprehensive income until the related third-party transaction occurs. Once the related third-party transaction occurs, the Company reclassifies the effective portion of any related gain or loss on the designated foreign currency hedge contracts to earnings. In the event the hedged forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the Company will reclassify the amount of any gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge to earnings at that time. The Company had designated foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding in the contract amount of $30.8 million as of September 28, 2024 and $74.0 million as of March 30, 2024. At September 28, 2024, a loss of $1.3 million, net of tax, will be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months. All currency cash flow hedges outstanding as of September 28, 2024 mature within twelve months.
Non-Designated Foreign Currency Contracts
The Company manages its exposure to changes in foreign currency on a consolidated basis to take advantage of offsetting transactions and balances. It uses foreign currency forward contracts as a part of its strategy to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. These foreign currency forward contracts are entered into for periods consistent with currency transaction exposures, generally one month. They are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC 815. These forward contracts are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. The Company had non-designated foreign currency hedge contracts under ASC 815 outstanding in the contract amount of $38.0 million as of September 28, 2024 and $39.9 million as of March 30, 2024.

Interest Rate Swaps
Part of the Company's interest rate risk management strategy includes the use of interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure to changes in variable interest rates. The Company's objective in using interest rate swaps is to add stability to interest expense and to manage and reduce the risk inherent in interest rate fluctuations.
To mitigate the interest rate risk on the Company's senior unsecured term loan, in September 2022, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps, two of which expired in June 2023 and the remaining two were amended and extended in September 2024. The amendment and extension of the two interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Loans under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to the 1-month USD Term SOFR, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio. As a result of the amendment and extension in September 2024, the two modified interest rate swaps (the "Swaps") have an average blended fixed interest rate of 3.31% plus the applicable rate on approximately 80% of the notional value of the unsecured term loan, until their maturity in April 2029. The Company has determined both of the Swaps are effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
The Company held the following interest rate swaps as of September 28, 2024:
Hedged Item Original Notional Amount
Notional Amount as of September 28, 2024
Designation Date Effective Date Termination Date Fixed Interest Rate Estimated Fair Value Assets (Liabilities)

Total $ 205,800 $ 205,800 $ (1,037)
For the six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $2.1 million, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of the swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges.
Trade Receivables
In the ordinary course of business, the Company grants trade credit to its customers on normal credit terms. In an effort to reduce its credit risk, the Company (i) establishes credit limits for all customers, (ii) performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition, (iii) monitors the payment history and aging of customers' receivables, and (iv) monitors open orders against an individual customer's outstanding receivable balance.
The Company's allowance for credit losses is maintained for trade accounts receivable based on the expected collectability, the historical collection experience, the length of time an account is outstanding, the financial position of the customer and information provided by credit rating services. The Company has not experienced significant customer payment defaults, or identified other significant collectability concerns.
The following is a roll forward of the allowance for credit losses:

Other Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value guidance establishes the following three-level hierarchy used for measuring fair value:
•Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are other observable inputs, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities and market-corroborated inputs.
•Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based on management's best estimate of inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.
The Company's money market funds carried at fair value are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
The following table presents the effect of the Company's derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges and those not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 in its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended September 28, 2024:

The Company did not have fair value hedges or net investment hedges outstanding as of September 28, 2024 or March 30, 2024. As of September 28, 2024, no material deferred taxes were recognized for designated foreign currency hedges.
ASC 815 requires all derivative instruments to be recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using the framework prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, by considering the estimated amount it would receive or pay to sell or transfer these instruments at the reporting date and by taking into account current interest rates, currency exchange rates, current interest rate curves, interest rate volatilities, the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets, and its creditworthiness for liabilities. In certain instances, the Company may utilize financial models to measure fair value. Generally, the Company uses inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; other observable inputs for the asset or liability; and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. As of September 28, 2024, the Company has classified its derivative assets and liabilities within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 815, as discussed below, because these observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of its derivative instruments.

Foreign currency hedge contracts - The fair value of foreign currency hedge contracts was measured using significant other observable inputs and valued by reference to over-the-counter quoted market prices for similar instruments. The Company does not believe that the fair value of these derivative instruments differs significantly from the amount that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a significant effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Interest rate swaps - The fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using the present value of expected future cash flows using market-based observable inputs, including credit risk and interest rate yield curves. The Company does not believe that the fair values of these derivative instruments differ significantly from the amounts that could be realized upon settlement or maturity, or that the changes in fair value will have a significant effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Contingent consideration- The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions, and is measured based on the probability-weighted present value of the payments expected to be made. Accordingly, the fair value of contingent consideration has been classified as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The level 3 fair value measurements of contingent consideration liabilities include the following significant unobservable inputs:
Fair Value at Valuation Unobservable

The fair value of contingent consideration associated with the Attune Medical acquisition was $26.3 million at September 28, 2024. As of September 28, 2024, $8.0 million was included in other current liabilities and $18.3 million was included in other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
A reconciliation of the change in the fair value of contingent consideration is included in the following table:

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims arising out of the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that, except for those matters described below, 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. At each reporting period, management evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies, for all matters. Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, a putative class action complaint was filed against the Company in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois by Mary Crumpton, on behalf of herself and similarly situated individuals. The Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District Illinois. See Mary Crumpton v. Haemonetics Corporation, Case No. 1:21-cv-1402. In her complaint, the plaintiff asserts that between June 2017 and August 2018 she donated plasma at a center operated by one of the Company's customers, that the center required her to scan her fingerprint on a finger scanner that stored her fingerprint to identify her prior to plasma donation, and that the Company's eQue donor management software sent her biometric information to a Company-owned server to be collected and stored in a manner that violated her rights under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA"). The plaintiff seeks statutory damages, attorneys' fees and injunctive and equitable relief. In March 2021, the Company moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and concurrently filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and a motion to stay. In March 2022, the court denied the Company's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction but did not address the merits of the Company's other positions. In March 2023, the Company filed a second motion to dismiss the complaint, which is pending before the court. During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding providing terms that would resolve the litigation and recorded an additional loss contingency related to this matter. In the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the parties requested preliminary court approval of a final settlement agreement, which was granted in February 2024, and the Company recorded an immaterial additional loss contingency related to settlement administration, resulting in an accrual of $8.7 million within Other current liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. In March 2024, notice of the settlement was mailed to class members and the parties are now awaiting the complete administration of the settlement through the third-party administrator. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company issued payment of the $8.7 million settlement amount following the court's final approval of the settlement agreement and dismissal of the matter with prejudice.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by Knoninklijke Philips N.V. and IP2IPO Innovations, Ltd. (together, the "Plaintiffs") against OpSens, OpSens Medical, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OpSens, and Haemonetics (1:24-cv-00206-CFC). The complaint alleges, inter alia, that OpSens' interventional cardiology systems, including its OptoWire and OptoMonitor technology, infringe a single patent held by the Plaintiffs and seeks both injunctive relief and damages. The Company believes it has valid and meritorious defenses to the complaint and plans to vigorously defend against the complaint. During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded a loss contingency related to this matter, which did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Product Recall
In August 2023, the Company issued a voluntary recall of certain products within the Whole Blood portion of our Blood Center business unit sold to customers in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. In fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cumulative charges of $6.8 million related to inventory, returns and customer claims associated with this recall. Substantially all outstanding claims have been paid as of September 28, 2024.

16. SEGMENT AND ENTERPRISE-WIDE INFORMATION
The Company determines its reportable segments by first identifying its operating segments, and then by assessing whether any components of these segments constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and where segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company's reporting structure aligns with its operating structure of three global business units and the information that is regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker.
The Company's reportable and operating segments are as follows:
•Plasma
•Blood Center
•Hospital
Management measures and evaluates the operating segments based on operating income. Management excludes certain corporate expenses from segment operating income. In addition, certain amounts that management considers to be non-recurring or non-operational are excluded from segment operating income because management evaluates the operating results of the segments excluding such items. Although these amounts are excluded from segment operating income, as applicable, they are included in the reconciliations that follow. Management measures and evaluates the Company's net revenues and operating income using internally derived standard currency exchange rates that remain constant from year to year; therefore, segment information is presented on this basis.
Selected information by reportable segment is presented below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with both our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our annual consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and the MD&A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information" in this discussion.
Introduction
Haemonetics is a global healthcare company dedicated to providing a suite of innovative medical technology solutions that improve the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of care. We challenge ourselves to think big and make new possibilities a reality, so that our customers can make it matter for patients, every single day. Our technology addresses important medical markets: blood and plasma component collection, the surgical suite and hospital transfusion services.
We view our operations and manage our business in three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. For that purpose, "Plasma" includes plasma collection devices and disposables, donor management software and supporting software solutions sold to plasma customers. "Blood Center" includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for red cells, platelets and whole blood. "Hospital" is comprised of Interventional Technologies, which includes Vascular Closure, Sensor Guided Technologies and Esophageal Protection products, and Blood Management Technologies, which includes Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage and Transfusion Management products.
We believe that Plasma and Hospital have growth potential, while Blood Center competes in challenging markets that require us to manage the business differently, including reducing costs, shrinking the scope of the current product line, and evaluating opportunities to exit unfavorable customer contracts.
Recent Developments
Accelerated Share Repurchase
In August 2024, in accordance with our previously-announced three-year share repurchase program, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement ("ASR") with Citibank N.A. ("Citibank") to repurchase $75.0 million of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, in August 2024, we paid Citibank $75.0 million in cash and received an initial delivery of 0.8 million shares of our common stock based on a closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on August 28, 2024 of $75.08. This initial delivery of shares represented approximately 80% of the notional amount of the ASR. The ASR was completed in October 2024, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and 0.2 million additional shares were delivered upon settlement. As of September 28, 2024, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program was $150.0 million.
Issuance of Convertible Senior Notes
On May 28, 2024, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.5% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes"). The 2029 Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The total net proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and debt issuance costs, were $682.8 million, of which $230.0 million was used to repay the entirety of the balance on the revolving credit facility under the Company's current credit agreement, $185.5 million was used to repurchase a portion of our existing 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 and $88.2 million was used to complete capped call transactions, with the remaining proceeds available for future cash requirements. The 2029 Notes will mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
Debt Issuance and Repayment
On April 30, 2024, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance our prior credit facilities and extend their maturity date through April 2029. The second amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which, along with $12.5 million of cash on hand, have been used to retire the balance of the term loan under our prior credit facilities, and a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

Acquisition of Attune Medical
On April 1, 2024, we completed our acquisition of Advanced Cooling Therapy, Inc., d/b/a Attune Medical ("Attune Medical") for total consideration of $187.7 million, which included an upfront cash payment of $162.0 million, or $150.5 million net of cash acquired, the fair value of contingent consideration of $25.3 million, and $0.4 million of working capital adjustments. The contingent consideration is based on sales growth over the next three years, which is uncapped, and the achievement of certain other milestones. We financed the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Attune Medical's ensoETM technology is designed for use across a range of medical conditions involving patient cooling or warming, including treatment in electrophysiology, critical care, neurocritical care, trauma, burn surgery, spine surgery, and cancer surgery, among others. The addition of our Esophageal Protection product line through this acquisition expands our Hospital business unit's presence in electrophysiology and complements its Vascular Closure product line within Interventional Technologies, which is included in the Hospital reportable segment.
Acquisition of OpSens Inc.
On December 12, 2023, we completed our acquisition of OpSens Inc. ("OpSens") for total consideration of approximately $254.5 million, or $243.9 million, net of cash acquired. We financed the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
OpSens offers commercially and clinically validated optical technology for use primarily in interventional cardiology. OpSens' core products include the SavvyWire®, a sensor-guided 3-in-1 guidewire for TAVR procedures, advancing the workflow of the procedure and enabling potentially shorter hospital stays for patients; and the OptoWire®, a pressure guidewire that aims to improve clinical outcomes by accurately and consistently measuring Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. OpSens also manufactures a range of fiber optic sensor solutions used in medical devices and other critical industrial applications. The addition of OpSens expands our Hospital business unit portfolio in the interventional cardiology market and is included in the Hospital reportable segment.

Operating income increased 46.4% and 2.8% during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024. The increase during the three months ended September 28, 2024 was primarily due to operating leverage, partially offset by operating costs related to recent acquisitions and increased amortization of acquired intangible assets. The increase for the six months ended September 28, 2024 was primarily due to operating leverage and the gains realized on the sale of a manufacturing facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by operating, transaction and integration costs related to recent acquisitions and increased amortization of acquired intangible assets.
Management's Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency conversion rate. We have provided this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented.

Our principal operations are in the United States, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. Our products are marketed in approximately 90 countries around the world through a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors and agents. During both the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, our revenue generated outside the U.S. was 25.9% of total net revenues, as compared with 25.7% and 24.8%, respectively,during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023. International sales are generally conducted in local currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Euro and Chinese Yuan. Our results of operations are impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in the value of the Yen and Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. We have placed foreign currency hedges on certain foreign currencies to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
Please see the section entitled "Foreign Exchange" in this discussion for a more complete explanation of how foreign currency affects our business and our strategy for managing this exposure.

Plasma
Plasma revenue decreased 3.0% and 2.8% during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024. Without the effects of foreign exchange, Plasma revenue decreased 3.0% and 2.8% during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024. The decreases during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 were primarily driven by lower sales volumes in North America, primarily relating to the previously announced customer transition of CSL Plasma, whose non-exclusive supply agreement with the Company is scheduled to expire in December 2025. We anticipate sales of approximately $100.0 million to CSL in fiscal 2025. The decrease for the six months ended September 28, 2024 was also due to a temporary plasma center outage at one of our customers.
Blood Center
Blood Center revenue decreased 1.6%and 2.9% during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024. Without the effects of foreign exchange, Blood Center revenuedecreased0.9% and 1.5% during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024.

The increases during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024 were primarily due to increased headcount as a result of recent acquisitions.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 7.3% during the three months ended September 28, 2024 and increased 3.1% during the six months ended September 28, 2024, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024.

realized on the sale of a manufacturing facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the decreases in impairment of intangible assets compared to the prior year period.
Amortization of Acquired Intangible Assets
We recognized amortization expense related to our acquired intangible assets of $12.3 million and $24.7 million during the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, and $7.2 million and $14.7 million during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The increases were primarily related to the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the recent acquisitions of OpSens and Attune Medical.
Interest and Other Expense, Net
Interest and other expense increased by$4.5 million during the three months ended September 28, 2024 and decreased $4.5 million during the six months ended September 28, 2024, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2024. The increase during the three months ended September 28, 2024, as compared with the prior year period, was primarily driven by interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs on the 2029 Notes issued in fiscal 2025, partially offset by foreign exchange. The decrease during the six months ended September 28, 2024 wasprimarily driven by the net gain on the repurchase of convertible notes during the first quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by interest expense on the 2029 Notes issued in fiscal 2025 as well as higher interest incurred on our revolving credit facilities, as compared with the same period of fiscal 2024.
Income Taxes
We conduct business globally and report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. Our reported tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings in any given period as the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate. Our effective tax rate is adversely impacted by non-deductible expenses including executive compensation and transaction costs.
For the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company reported income tax expense of $10.9 million and $19.2 million, representing effective tax rates of 24.3% and 21.0%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024, which includes an immaterial discrete tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2024 includes $3.6 million of discrete tax benefit, primarily related to stock compensation windfalls. The discrete benefit also includes other items such as provision to return differences.
For the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported income tax expense of $7.9 million and $18.5 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 24.1% and 21.9%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 includes $0.1 million of discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock compensation windfalls. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2023 includes $1.3 million of discrete tax benefit primarily related to stock compensation windfalls.
The increase in the reported tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, relates primarily to the unfavorable impact of the jurisdictional mix of earnings and non-deductible acquisition-related expenses. The decrease in the reported tax rate for the six months ended September 28, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, relates primarily to increased discrete tax benefits year-over-year, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of jurisdictional mix of earnings and non-deductible acquisition-related expenses.

(1) Net debt position is the sum of cash and cash equivalents less total debt.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, internally generated cash flow from operations and our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term cash requirements, including our convertible senior notes due March 1, 2026. Our expected cash outlays relate primarily to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, including enhancements to our North American manufacturing facilities, share repurchases, portfolio rationalization initiatives and cash principal and interest payments under our revised credit agreements. As of September 28, 2024, we had $299.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, the majority of which is held in the U.S. or in countries from which it can be repatriated to the U.S.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company used a portion of its proceeds from the 2029 Notes to repurchase, for $185.5 million, $200.0 million of the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), resulting in a gain of $14.5 million related to the discount on repurchase. As the repurchase of the 2026 Notes met the criteria for extinguishment accounting, $1.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were allocated to the repurchase, resulting in a net gain of $12.6 million. As of September 28, 2024, the $300.0 million remaining principal balance on the 2026 Notes was netted down by $2.3 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $297.7 million. Interest expense related to the 2026 Notes was $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, which is entirely attributable to the amortization of the debt issuance costs. The remaining debt issuance costs are amortized at an effective interest rate of 0.5%.
As of September 28, 2024, the $700.0 million principal balance of the 2029 Notes was netted down by $16.2 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $683.8 million. Interest expense related to the 2029 Notes was $5.2 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, respectively, which includes nominal interest expense and the amortization of the debt issuance costs.
On July 26, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement to refinance its credit facilities initially entered into in 2018 and extend their maturity date through June 2025. The amended and restated credit agreement provided for a $280.0 million senior unsecured term loan and a $420.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the "2022 Revised Credit Facilities") with applicable interest rates during the period established using an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio, as specified in the agreement.
On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance the 2022 Revised Credit Facilities and extend their maturity date through April 2029. The second amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which, along with $12.5 million of cash on hand, were used to retire the balance of the term loan under the 2022 Revised Credit Facilities, and a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the "2024 Revised Credit Facilities"). Loans under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities will initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as specified in the second amended and restated credit agreement), which is subject to a floor of 0.0%, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio (as specified in the second amended and restated credit agreement) at the applicable measurement date. The revolving credit facility carries an unused fee that ranges from 0.125% to 0.250% annually based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio at the applicable measurement date. The 2024 Revised Credit Facilities mature on April 30, 2029. The principal amount of the term loan under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities amortizes quarterly through the maturity date at a rate of 2.5% for the first three years following the closing date, 5.0% for the fourth year following the closing date and 7.5% for the fifth year following the closing date, with the unpaid balance due at maturity.

At September 28, 2024, $248.4 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 6.7%. There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facilities at September 28, 2024. The Company also had $19.8 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund its global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of September 28, 2024.
The Company has scheduled principal payments of $3.1 million required during the remainder of fiscal 2025 related to its term loan.
During fiscal 2022, our Board of Directors approved a revised Operational Excellence Program. We estimate that we will incur aggregate charges between $85.0 million and $90.0 million by the end of fiscal 2025 under the program in connection with the Operational Excellence Program. These charges, the majority of which will result in cash outlays, including severance and other employee costs, will be incurred as the specific actions required to execute these initiatives are identified and approved and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. During the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, the Company incurred $1.7 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of restructuring and restructuring related costs under this program.

(1) The balance sheet is affected by spot exchange rates used to translate local currency amounts into U.S. Dollars. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have eliminated the effect of foreign currency throughout our cash flow statement, except for its effect on our cash and cash equivalents.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $96.8 million during the six months ended September 28, 2024, as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of accounts payable payments, increased inventory balances and a payment in connection with a previously disclosed legal settlement.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $122.2 million during the six months ended September 28, 2024, as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of the acquisition of Attune Medical, partially offset by the proceeds from the sales of property, plant and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $266.7 million during the six months ended September 28, 2024, as compared with the six months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the issuance the 2029 Notes, partially offset by the repurchase of a portion of the 2026 Notes, capped call transactions, share repurchases, payments on the revolving credit facility and debt issuance costs.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to our large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. Certain markets and industries, however, can expose us to concentrations of credit risk. For example, in the Plasma business unit, sales are concentrated with several large customers. As a result, accounts receivable extended to any one of these biopharmaceutical customers can be significant at any point in time. In addition, a portion of our trade accounts receivable outside the U.S. include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems in several countries, which are subject to payment delays and local economic conditions. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries' national economies.
We have not incurred significant losses on trade accounts or other receivables. We continually evaluate all receivables for potential collection risks associated with the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices. If the financial condition of customers or the countries' healthcare systems deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, allowances may be required in future periods.

Foreign Exchange
During both the three and six months ended September 28, 2024, 25.9% of our sales were generated outside the U.S., generally in foreign currencies, yet our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency. Our primary foreign currency exposures relate to sales denominated in Japanese Yen, Euro and Chinese Yuan. We also have foreign currency exposure related to manufacturing and other operational costs denominated in Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit. The Yen, Euro and Yuan sales exposure is partially mitigated by costs and expenses for foreign operations and sourcing products denominated in foreign currencies.
Since our foreign currency denominated Yen, Euro and Yuan sales exceed the foreign currency denominated costs, whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the Yen, Euro or Yuan, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations and, conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to the Yen, Euro or Yuan, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. For Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit, our primary cash flows relate to product costs or costs and expenses of local operations. Whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to these foreign currencies, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. Conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to these currencies, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have a program in place that is designed to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. We utilize forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen and Euro, and to a lesser extent Swiss Franc and Mexican Peso. This does not eliminate the volatility of foreign exchange rates, but because we generally enter into forward contracts one year out, rates are fixed for a one-year period, thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The final impact of currency fluctuations on the results of operations is dependent on the local currency amounts hedged and the actual local currency results.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements that we make from time to time, including statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated by reference into this report, constitute "forward looking-statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and reflect management's assumptions, views, plans, objectives and projections about the future. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "would," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "predicts," "foresees," "potential" and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things: discussions of future operations; expected operating results and financial performance; the Company's strategy for growth; product development, commercialization and anticipated performance and benefits; regulatory approvals; impacts of acquisitions or dispositions; and market position and expenditures.
Because forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding future events, they are subject to uncertainties, risks and changes that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company's control. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company's actual results and financial condition could vary materially from expectations and projections expressed or implied in its forward-looking statements. Investors are therefore cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.
The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements. For further discussion of these and other factors, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K (as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A. "Risks Factors" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended June 29, 2024).

"Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended June 29, 2024) to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. The Company does not undertake to publicly update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information or future events or developments.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposures relative to market risk are due to foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign Exchange Risk
See the section above entitled Foreign Exchange for a discussion of how foreign currency affects our business. It is our policy to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by using derivative financial instruments known as forward contracts to hedge anticipated cash flows from forecasted foreign currency denominated sales and costs. We do not use the financial instruments for speculative or trading activities.
We estimate the change in the fair value of all forward contracts assuming both a 10% strengthening and weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to all other major currencies. As of September 28, 2024, in the event of a 10% strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, the change in fair value of all forward contracts would result in a $2.9 million increase in the fair value of the forward contracts, whereas a 10% weakening of the U.S. Dollar would result in a $3.5 million decrease in the fair value of the forward contracts.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to changes in interest rates is associated with borrowings under our credit facilities, all of which is variable rate debt. Total outstanding debt under our senior unsecured term loan as of September 28, 2024 was $248.4 million with an effective interest rate of 6.7% based on prevailing Term SOFR rates. An increase of 100 basis points in Term SOFR rates would result in additional annual interest expense of $0.4 million. As of September 28, 2024, the notional amount on our two active interest rate swap agreements to effectively convert borrowings under our 2024 Revised Credit Facilities from a variable rate to a fixed rate were $205.8 million. These interest rate swaps are intended to mitigate the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and qualify for hedge accounting treatment as cash flow hedges.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, as of September 28, 2024, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 28, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 28, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2024, we implemented the first phase of a new global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system, which will continue to be implemented in phases through fiscal 2026. The ERP will replace existing financial systems we have historically relied on. As each phase of the implementation occurs, we will reassess our processes and procedures, which may result in changes to our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In August 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved a three-year share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of Haemonetics common stock, based on market conditions, through August 2025. 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.
In August 2024, the Company entered into an ASR with Citibank to repurchase $75.0 million of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR, in August 2024, the Company paid Citibank $75.0 million in cash and received an initial delivery of 0.8 million shares of the Company's common stock based on a closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on August 28, 2024 of $75.08. This initial delivery of shares represented approximately 80% of the notional amount of the ASR. The ASR was completed in October 2024, subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2025, and 0.2 million additional shares were delivered upon settlement. As of September 28, 2024, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of the Company's common stock under the share repurchase program was $150.0 million.
