Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended April 4, 2015.

First quarter 2015 product revenues rose 11% to $147.4 million, compared to $132.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, and total revenue, including royalties, rose 11% to $154.5 million, up from $139.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The unfavorable effect of foreign currency movements reduced first quarter product revenues by approximately $4.2 million.

The company's worldwide direct product revenue in the first quarter of 2015 rose by 13% compared to the same period in 2014 and represented 85% of product revenue. OEM sales, which accounted for 15% of product revenue, rose by 6% to $22.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Revenue from sales of Masimo rainbow^® products was $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $12.9 million in the prior year period.

GAAP net income for the first quarter of 2015 was $20.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $22.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2014. First quarter 2014 results were positively impacted by a $0.09 per diluted share benefit due to the impact of a legal expense reversal. Non-GAAP net income for the first quarter was $22.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, versus non-GAAP net income of $17.9 million or $0.31 per diluted share in the year-ago period. During the first quarter of 2015, the company shipped approximately 44,000 SET^® pulse oximetry and rainbow^® Pulse CO-Oximetry^™ units, excluding handheld units. Masimo estimates its worldwide installed base as of April 4, 2015 to be 1,340,000 units, up 9% from 1,231,000 units as of March 29, 2014.

Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "Our first quarter results continue to illustrate the strength of our pulse oximetry and Pulse CO-Oximetry^™ technology, as we shipped over 40,000 Root^®, Radical-7^®, Radius-7™ and Rad-8^® monitors and MS and MX OEM boards in the period. We are increasing our full year financial guidance for both revenues and earnings per share as a result of our strong first quarter performance, and we remain encouraged in our outlook for the remainder of the year."

During the first quarter, the company generated $19.1 million in cash from operations and used approximately $13.1 million to fund improvements to its corporate headquarters facility. In addition, the company repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares of stock for $8.2 million, of which $2.1 million settled during the quarter. As of April 4, 2015, Masimo's cash and cash equivalents were $135.7 million, compared to $134.5 million as of January 3, 2015.

About Masimo
Masimo (NASDAQ: MASI) is the global leader in innovative noninvasive monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care-helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In 1995, the company debuted Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET^®, which virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies have shown that Masimo SET^® outperforms other pulse oximetry technologies, even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced rainbow SET^® Pulse CO-Oximetry technology, allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously could only be measured invasively, including total hemoglobin (SpHb^®), oxygen content (SpOC™), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO^®), methemoglobin (SpMet^®), and Pleth Variability Index (PVI^®), in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). Additional information about Masimo and its products may be found at www.masimo.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude the items summarized in the above table that are more fully described below. Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these items are not indicative of the company's on-going core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the company may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The company has presented the following non-GAAP measures on a basis consistent with its historical presentation, to assist investors in understanding the company's core net operating results on an on-going basis: (i) non-GAAP revenue, (ii) non-GAAP gross profit, (iii) non-GAAP operating expenses, (iv) non-GAAP operating income, (v) non-GAAP non-operating income; (vi) non-GAAP net income attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders, and (vii) non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders. These non-GAAP financial measures may also assist investors in making comparisons of the company's core operating results with those of other companies. Management believes non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to Masimo Corporation stockholders are important measures in the evaluation of the Company's performance and uses these measures to better understand and evaluate our business.

The non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments for the following items, as well as the related income tax effects thereof:

Constant currency F/X adjustments. Some of our sales agreements with foreign customers provide for payment in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Similarly, certain of our product costs and operating expenses, and the related balance sheet payables and accruals, are denominated in foreign currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, costs and expenses, receivables, payables and accruals, when converted into U.S. Dollars, can vary significantly from period to period depending on the average and quarter-end exchange rates during a respective period. We believe that comparing these foreign currency denominated revenues, costs and expenses, receivables, payables and accruals by holding the exchange rates constant with the prior year period is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. We anticipate that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and these related constant currency and other foreign exchange adjustments will continue to occur in future periods.

Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Amortization of intangibles generally represents costs incurred by an acquired company or other third party to build value prior to our acquisition of the intangible assets. As such, it is effectively part of the transaction costs of the acquisition rather than ongoing costs of operating our core business. As a result, we believe that exclusion of these costs in presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors a more effective means of evaluating its historical performance and projected costs and the potential for realizing cost efficiencies within our core business. Amortization of intangibles will recur in future periods.

Litigation awards, damages and defense costs. In connection with litigation proceedings arising in the course of our business, we have previously recorded expenses as a defendant in such proceedings in the form of damages and directly-related legal fees, as well as reversals of such damages and directly-related legal fee expenses upon a Court vacating a prior award against us. In addition, we have also previously recorded recoveries of damages and directly-related legal fees as a plaintiff in litigation proceedings. We believe that exclusion of these expenses, expense reversals and recoveries is useful to management and investors in evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations on a period-to-period basis. In this regard, we note that these expenses, expense reversals and recoveries are generally unrelated to our core business and/or infrequent in nature.

Reconciliations between the GAAP and non-GAAP amounts for each financial statement line item are as follows:
