Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2019

Hologic is raising its full-year, constant currency revenue guidance and slightly increasing its full-year EPS guidance. Changes are driven by the Company’s strong performance in the first quarter, partially offset by greater foreign exchange headwinds compared to the Company’s initial guidance.

Hologic’s financial guidance for the second quarter and fiscal year 2019 is shown in the table below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 23%, and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 272 million for the full year. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2019 as in fiscal 2018. Current guidance assumes that recent foreign exchange rates persist for all of fiscal 2019.

	Current Guidance			Previous Guidance
	Constant Currency % Increase (Decrease)	Reported % Increase (Decrease)	Guidance $	Constant Currency % Increase (Decrease)	Reported % Increase (Decrease)	Guidance $
Fiscal 2019
Revenue	3.8% to 4.7%	2.7% to 3.6%	$3,305 - $3,335	2.8% to 4.2%	2.2% to 3.6%	$3,290 - $3,335
GAAP EPS		N.M.	$1.39- $1.43		N.M.	$1.33 – $1.37
Non-GAAP EPS		7.2% to 9.0%	$2.39 - $2.43		6.7% to 8.5%	$2.38 - $2.42

Revenue	2.5% to 4.4%	0.7% to 2.6%	$795 – $810
GAAP EPS		N.M.	$0.28 - $0.30
Non-GAAP EPS		3.8% to 7.5%	$0.55 - $0.57

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: constant currency revenues; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP EPS; and adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income, EPS, and other non-GAAP financial measures to exclude, as applicable: (i) the amortization of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; (ii) additional depreciation expense from acquired fixed assets and accelerated depreciation related to consolidation and closure of facilities ; (iii) additional expenses resulting from the purchase accounting adjustment to record inventory at fair value; (iv) non-cash interest expense related to amortization of the debt discount from the equity conversion option of the convertible notes; (v) restructuring and divestiture charges and facility closure and consolidation charges and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions (including retention, transaction bonuses, legal and professional consulting services) and separate divested businesses from existing operations; (vi) transaction related expenses for divestitures and acquisitions; (vii) gains/losses on disposal of a business; (viii) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (ix) the unrealized (gains) losses on the mark-to-market of forward foreign currency contracts for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting; (x) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges (benefits); (xi) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized gains resulting from the sale of investments; (xii) the one-time discrete impact of tax reform primarily related to remeasuring net deferred tax liabilities; (xiii) other one-time, non-recurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results; and (xiv) income taxes related to such adjustments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of Hologic's historical operating results, comparison to competitors' operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Hologic's business.

Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.

Future Non-GAAP Adjustments:

Future GAAP EPS may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, and may also be affected by non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, which are excluded in the calculation of the Company's non-GAAP EPS guidance as described in this press release. It is therefore not practicable to reconcile non-GAAP EPS guidance to the most comparable GAAP measure.

Explanatory Notes to Reconciliations:
(1)	To reflect non-cash expenses attributable to the amortization of acquired intangible assets.
(2)	To reflect non-cash fair value adjustments for additional depreciation expense related to the fair value write-up of fixed assets acquired in the Gen-Probe acquisition and accelerated depreciation expense related to facility closure and business consolidation.
(3)	To reflect restructuring charges, and certain costs associated with the Company’s integration and facility consolidation plans, which primarily include retention and transfer costs, as well as costs incurred to integrate acquisitions and dispose businesses, including consulting, legal, tax and accounting fees.
(4)	To reflect expenses incurred with third parties related to acquisitions and divestitures prior to when such transactions are completed. These expenses primarily comprise broker fees, legal fees, and consulting and due diligence fees.
(5)	To reflect non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the debt discount from the equity conversion option of the Company’s convertible notes.
(6)	To reflect debt extinguishment losses primarily from refinancing the Company's Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.
(7)	To reflect realized gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale marketable securities and a cost method investment.
(8)	To reflect non-cash unrealized gains and losses on the mark-to-market on outstanding forward foreign currency contracts, which do not qualify for hedge accounting.
(9)	To reflect a non-income tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 of $4.0 million as the Company settled a non-income tax issue under audit.
(10)	To reflect the amount of debt issuance costs recorded directly to interest expense as a result of fiscal 2019 and 2018 refinancings of the Company's Credit Agreement and the fiscal 2018 refinancing of the Senior Notes in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
(11)	To reflect the discrete impact of tax reform to the provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 29, 2018. The benefit reduction of $5.0 million recorded in the three months ended December 29, 2018 was primarily related to credit utilization limitations and executive compensation deduction disallowances resulting from the completion of computations in the quarter.
