What drove it
- The Company cited gaining Plasma share, sustaining Blood Management Technologies momentum, and returning Interventional Technologies to growth.
- The increase in operating expenses was driven by higher personnel-related costs and freight charges.
- Increased operating cash flow was driven by favorable working capital adjustments from the timing of collections on receivables.
- Free cash flow benefitted from lower non-cash transfers from Haemonetics equipment, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.
Concerns
- Adjusted gross margin was down 40 basis points, primarily reflecting upfront revenue recognition upon execution of a long-term software agreement in the prior year.
- Adjusted operating income was down $1.7 million, or 2.2%, and adjusted operating margin was down 70 basis points.
- The GAAP effective income tax rate increased to 30.6%, primarily driven by stock compensation shortfalls and valuation allowance impacts related to losses in certain recently acquired jurisdictions.
- Cash on hand decreased by $22.1 million since the end of fiscal 2026.
What to watch
- Delivery against fiscal 2027 reported revenue guidance of 5 - 8% and organic revenue guidance of 4 - 7%.
- Whether adjusted operating margin achieves 50 – 100 bps expansion YoY after the first-quarter decline of 70 basis points.
- Apheresis growth within low- to mid-single-digit guidance and MedSurg growth within mid-single digit guidance.
- Free cash flow conversion relative to the ~80% fiscal 2027 target.
Balance sheet and cash flow
- Cash on hand as of June 27, 2026 was $223.4 million, a decrease of $22.1 million since the end of fiscal 2026.
- Cash outflows for the repayment of revolving credit facility borrowings and strategic investments were partially offset by cash flow provided from operating activities.
- First quarter fiscal 2027 cash flow from operating activities was $52.3 million, up $34.9 million.
- Free cash flow was $39.1 million, up $36.6 million.
Analysis
Haemonetics reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 GAAP revenue of $339.4 million, up 5.6% compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Organic revenue growth was 5.9%. Apheresis revenue was $191.3, up 5.3%, while MedSurg revenue was $148.1, up 6.0%. Management characterized the quarter as gaining Plasma share, sustaining Blood Management Technologies momentum, and returning Interventional Technologies to growth.
GAAP gross margin was unchanged at 59.8%. GAAP operating income increased to $57.5 million from $53.9 million, and operating margin increased to 16.9% from 16.8%. However, operating expenses increased $7.0 million, or 5.0%, to $145.3 million, driven by higher personnel-related costs and freight charges. The GAAP effective income tax rate rose to 30.6% from 24.7%, and GAAP net income declined to $33.0 million from $34.0 million despite diluted EPS increasing to $0.72 from $0.70.
Adjusted profitability was weaker than the GAAP operating-income comparison. Adjusted gross margin was 60.4%, down 40 basis points, principally due to upfront revenue recognition on a long-term software agreement in the prior-year period. Adjusted operating income was $79.3 million, down $1.7 million, or 2.2%, and adjusted operating margin was 23.4%, down 70 basis points. Adjusted operating expenses rose $7.9 million, or 6.7%, to $125.6 million. Adjusted net income increased $0.9 million, or 1.8%, to $52.3 million, while adjusted diluted EPS was $1.14, up 3.6%.
Cash generation improved materially. Cash flow from operating activities was $52.3 million, up $34.9 million, driven by favorable working-capital adjustments from the timing of receivables collections. Free cash flow was $39.1 million, up $36.6 million, benefiting from lower non-cash transfers from Haemonetics equipment, partly offset by higher capital expenditures. Cash on hand was $223.4 million, down $22.1 million since the end of fiscal 2026, primarily due to repayment of revolving credit facility borrowings and strategic investments.
The Company raised fiscal 2027 reported revenue guidance to 5 - 8% from 4 - 7% and organic revenue guidance to 4 - 7% from 3 - 6%. It retained guidance for 50 – 100 bps of adjusted operating-margin expansion YoY, adjusted EPS comparable to reported revenue growth, and free-cash-flow conversion of ~80%. The central execution issue is reconciling the raised revenue outlook with first-quarter adjusted margin contraction and higher personnel-related costs, freight charges, and tax rates.
Management, verbatim
We had a strong start to fiscal 2027, gaining Plasma share, sustaining Blood Management Technologies momentum, and returning Interventional Technologies to growth. With our evolved portfolio, transformed operating model and disciplined execution, we are strengthening our competitive position and demonstrating the durable growth of our diversified businesses. We raised full-year guidance, and Haemonetics is well-positioned to deliver sustainable long-term growth and shareholder value.
