Core Business
Conventional Pulse Oximetry
Pulse oximetry enables the noninvasive measurement of the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood (SpO2), which delivers oxygen to the body’s tissues. Pulse oximetry also measures pulse rate (PR), which, when measured by electrocardiogram (ECG), is called heart rate. Pulse oximeters use sensors attached to an extremity, typically the fingertip or certain core body sites. These sensors contain two light-emitting diodes that transmit red and infrared light from one side of the extremity through the tissue to a photodetector on the other side of the extremity. The photodetector in the sensor measures the amount of red and infrared light absorbed by the tissue. A microprocessor then analyzes the changes in light absorption to provide a continuous, real-time measurement of the amount of oxygen in the patient’s arterial blood. Pulse oximeters typically give audio and visual alerts, or alarms, when the patient’s arterial blood oxygen saturation level or pulse rate falls outside of a user-designated range. As a result, clinicians have the opportunity to assess patients who may need immediate treatment to prevent the serious clinical consequences of hypoxemia, or low arterial blood oxygen saturation levels, and hyperoxemia, or high arterial blood oxygen levels.
As one of the most common technologies used in and out of hospitals around the world, pulse oximetry has gained widespread clinical acceptance as a standard patient vital sign measurement because it can give clinicians a warning of possible hypoxemia or hyperoxemia. SpO2 monitoring of oxygen saturation is critical because hypoxemia can lead to a lack of oxygen in the body’s tissues, which can be toxic and result in organ damage or death. Pulse oximeters are used in a variety of critical care settings, including surgery, recovery rooms, intensive care units (ICUs), emergency departments and general care floors, as well as alternative care settings, such as long-term care facilities, physician offices and the home monitoring of patients with chronic conditions.
Clinicians also use pulse oximeters to monitor oxygen saturation in premature babies to ensure that appropriate oxygen saturation levels are maintained. In premature babies, oxygen saturation levels above clinically acceptable limits may lead to a condition known as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which, if left untreated, can lead to permanent eye damage or blindness. By ensuring that oxygen saturation levels in babies remain within clinically acceptable limits, clinicians believe they can lower the incidence of ROP.
Conventional pulse oximetry has limitations that can reduce its effectiveness and the quality of patient care. In particular, when using conventional pulse oximetry, oxygen saturation measurements can be distorted by motion artifact, or patient movement, and low perfusion, or low arterial blood flow at the measurement site. Motion artifact can cause conventional pulse oximeters to inaccurately measure the arterial blood oxygen saturation level, due mainly to the effect of movement-induced pulsations of venous blood, which is at a lower oxygen saturation than arterial blood. Low perfusion can also cause conventional pulse oximeters to report inaccurate measurements or, in some cases, no measurement at all. In addition, conventional pulse oximeters cannot distinguish oxygenated hemoglobin from dyshemoglobin, including the most prevalent forms of dyshemoglobin,dyshemoglobins, carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin. As a result, conventional pulse oximeters may report falsely high oxygen levels when these dyshemoglobins are present in the blood. Furthermore, conventional pulse oximetry readings can also be impacted by bright light and electrical interference caused by the presence of electrical surgical equipment.
Independent research has shown that over 70% of oxygen saturation alarms outside the operating room are false when conventional pulse oximetry is used. In the operating room, conventional pulse oximeters can fail to give accurate measurements due to weak physiological signals or low perfusion. Manufacturers of pulse oximeters have attempted to address some of these limitations with varying degrees of success. Some competing devices have attempted to minimize the observed effects of motion artifact by repeating/freezing the last measurement before motion artifact was detected until a new, clean signal is detected and a new measurement can be displayed. Other competing devices increase the averaging time during motion, known as long averaging, in an attempt to reduce the observed effect of motion on their measurements. Still other competing devices extend the audible alarm notification delay, which reduces awareness of inaccurate measurements. These competing “motion tolerant” or “alarm management” techniques mask the limitations of conventional pulse oximetry. Several published studies have demonstrated that these also contribute to increased occurrences of undetected true alarms, or events where hypoxemia occurs but is not detected by the pulse oximeter.
Lastly, because conventional pulse oximetry cannot consistently measure SpO2 and pulse rate in the presence of motion artifact or low perfusion, its use is limited in lower acuity settings in the hospital, such as in general care areas, where a hospital’s staff-to-patient ratio is significantly lower and the staff have less tolerance for false alarms. In addition, two-wavelength pulse
oximeters cannot distinguish oxygenated hemoglobin from dyshemoglobin, including the most prevalent forms of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin. As a result of these dyshemoglobins, pulse oximeters will report falsely high oxygen levels when they are present in the blood.
Masimo Difference
Masimo SET® Pulse Oximetry
Masimo SET® was designed to overcome the primary limitations of conventional pulse oximetry by maintaining accuracy in the presence of motion artifact, low perfusion and weak signal-to-noise situations. Our Masimo SET® platform, which became available to U.S. hospitals in 1998, is the basis of our pulse oximetry products, and we believe represented the first significant technological advancement in pulse oximetry since its introduction in the early 1980s. Masimo SET®utilizes five signal processing algorithms, four of which are proprietary, in parallel to deliver high sensitivity and specificity in the measurement of arterial blood oxygen saturation levels. Sensitivity is the ability to detect true alarms and specificity is the ability to avoid false alarms. One of our proprietary processing algorithms, Discrete Saturation Transform®, separates the signal from noise in real time through the use of adaptive filtering and an iterative sampling technique that tests each possible saturation value for validity. Masimo SET® signal processing can therefore identify the venous blood and other “noise”, isolate them and extract the arterial signal.
The performance of Masimo SET® pulse oximetry has been evaluated in more than 100 independent studies and thousands of clinical evaluations. We believe that Masimo SET® is trusted by clinicians to safely monitor in excess of approximately 100200 million patients each year and has been chosen as the primary if not the only, pulse oximeter technology used by seventeennine of the twentytop ten hospitals that are listed onaccording to the 2017-2018 2021-2022 U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals Honor Roll. Compared to conventional pulse oximeters, during patient motion and low perfusion, Masimo SET® provides measurements when other pulse oximeters cannot, significantly reduces false alarms (improved specificity), and accurately detects true alarms (improved sensitivity). Clinical studies have shown that the use of Masimo SET® pulse oximetry, in conjunction with modified clinical protocols, has helped clinicians reduce ROP in neonates and improve screening for newborns with critical congenital heart disease (CCHD). Clinical studies have also shown a reduction in rapid response activations and ICU transfers when Masimo SET® is used to continuously monitor patients on general wards. Additionally, researchers have found that the use of Masimo SET® is associated with reduced ventilator weaning time and arterial blood gas measurements in the ICU.
Our pulse oximetry technology is contained on a circuit board which can be placed inside a standalone pulse oximetry monitor, placed inside OEM multiparameter monitors, or included as part of an external “Board-in-Cable” solution that is plugged into a port on an OEM or other device. All of these solutions use our proprietary single-patient-use or reusable sensors and cables. We sell our products to end usersend-users through our direct sales force and through certain distributors, as well as to our OEM partners, for incorporation into their products. In 2013, we also began selling our pulse oximetry products in the consumer market. As of December 30, 2017, we estimate that the worldwide installed base of our pulse oximeters and OEM monitors that incorporate Masimo SET® and rainbow SET™ was more than 1,591,000 units, excluding handheld devices. Our installed base is the primary driver for the recurring sales of our pulse oximeter and Pulse CO-Oximeter® sensors, most notably, single-patient adhesive sensors.
To complement our Masimo SET® platform, we have developed a wide range of proprietary single-patient-use (disposable) and multi-patient-use (reusable) sensors, cables and other accessories designed specifically to work with Masimo SET® software and hardware. Our single-patient-use sensors offer several advantages over reusable sensors, including improved performance, cleanliness, increased comfort and greater reliability. In addition, our neonatal adhesive sensors have been designed to exhibit greater durability compared to competitive sensors. Although our technology platforms operate solely with our proprietary sensor lines, our sensors have the capability to work with certain competitive pulse oximetry monitors through the use of adapter cables.
Adhesive sensors are single-patient-use items, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows third parties to reprocess pulse oximetry sensors. In response to some hospitals’ requests to implement environmentally friendly or “green” products, we offer sensor reprocessing as well as sensor recycling programs.
Masimo rainbowSET™® Platform
Since introducing Masimo SET®, we have continued to innovate by introducing noninvasive measurements that go beyond arterial blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. In 2005, we introduced theOur Masimo rainbow SET™®platform leveragingleverages our Masimo SET® technology and incorporatingincorporates licensed rainbow® technology to enable real-time monitoring of additional noninvasive measurements. Our rainbow SET™® platform includes our rainbow SET™® Pulse CO-Oximetry products, which we believe are the first devices cleared by the FDA to noninvasively and continuously monitor additional hemoglobin species that were previously only measurable using intermittent invasive procedures using multiple wavelengths of light.
In addition to SpO2, PR, perfusion index (Pi), Pleth Variability Index (PVi®) and respiration rate from the pleth (RRp®), rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry has the unique ability to measure and distinguish oxygenated hemoglobins from the dysfunctional hemoglobinsdyshemoglobins that
are incapable of transporting oxygen, carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®) and methemoglobin (SpMet®). Besides the ability to measure SpCO® and SpMet®, the Masimo rainbow SET™® platform also allows for the noninvasive and continuous monitoring of total hemoglobin concentration (SpHb®) as well as the monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation, in the presence of carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin, known as fractional arterial oxygen saturation (SpfO2™). Additionally, the rainbow SET™® platform also allows for the calculation of Oxygen Content (SpOC™) and Oxygen Reserve Index™ (ORi™). RRp®, SpfO2™and ORi™have received CE Marking, but are not currently available for sale in the U.S.
We believe that Masimo rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry products will become widely adopted for the noninvasive monitoring of these measurements.measurements in the future. We also believe that the addition of acoustic respiration rate (RRa®), using our rainbow Acoustic Monitoring® technology, will strengthen the clinical demand for noninvasive and continuous monitoring using our rainbow® platform, especially in the growing general floor market.
Products with our MX circuit board contain our Masimo SET® pulse oximetry technology as well as circuitry to support rainbow® measurements. At the time of purchase, or at any time in the future, our customers and our OEMs’ customers have the option of purchasing additional rainbow® software measurements, which allow the customersuch customers to incrementally expand their patient monitoring systems with a cost-effective solution. To date, over thirty-sevenforty companies have released rainbow SET™ ® equipped products or announced rainbow® integration plans.
Measurements
SpHb®
Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells (RBCs). Hemoglobin measurement is one of the most frequent invasive laboratory measurements in the world, and is often measured as part of a complete blood count (CBC), which measures multiple other blood components. A low hemoglobin status is a condition called anemia. As a chronic disorder, anemia can be treated by iron supplements, diet changes or drugs that increase the production of RBCs. As an acute disorder resulting from bleeding, anemia requires either stoppage of the bleeding or a blood transfusion in order to sustain organ function and life.
SpHb® is available as a continuous or a spot-check measurement. Continuous SpHb® monitoring provides real-time visibility into hemoglobin levels and the changes, or lack of changes, in hemoglobin levels, which can otherwise only be measured through intermittent, invasive blood testing. SpHb® monitoring is not intended to be used as the sole basis for making diagnosis or treatment decisions, but continuous SpHb® monitoring may help clinicians to trend hemoglobin in real time between invasive blood samples.
SpOC™
The oxygen content of blood is a function of both oxygen saturation and hemoglobin levels. SpOC™ provides a more complete picture of a patient’s oxygenation status by combining noninvasive and continuous measurements of both hemoglobin and oxygen saturation levels into a single calculation.
SpCO®
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that is undetectable by humans and is often unknowingly inhaled from combustion fumes, or during fires by victims and first responders. CO poisoning is the leading cause of accidental poisoning death in the U.S. and is responsible for up to 50,000 emergency department visits and 500 unintentional deaths annually. CO, when bound to hemoglobin cells, prevents those cells from carrying oxygen. Elevated CO levels may cause severe neurological damage, permanent heart damage or death. Screening for elevated CO levels in the emergency department is critical, as symptoms of CO poisoning in patients may be misdiagnosed because such symptoms are similar to the flu.
CO levels in the blood can be measured using a laboratory CO-Oximeter, which requires a patient or a patient’s blood sample to be transported to a hospital with laboratory CO-Oximetry capability. Additional delays occur if a patient needs hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which often requires transfer to yet another medical center with hyperbaric capability. Outside the hospital, laboratory measurements of carboxyhemoglobin are not considered feasible. Historically, this meant that CO levels in the blood could not be assessed in environments in which such assessment would be very useful, such as in the home or as part of the medical evaluation of first responders potentially exposed to CO at the scene of a fire.
We believe that the greatest opportunity for SpCO® monitoring is in the EMS, fire and hospital emergency department settings, since elevated SpCO® levels may help indicate a need for invasive testing in patients with headaches or other non-specific symptoms of CO poisoning. While SpCO® is not intended to replace invasive carboxyhemoglobin tests, when used with other clinical variables, SpCO® may help clinicians identify elevated CO levels and help determine additional test and treatment options. Over the past few years, multipleMultiple leading emergency first responder associations, including the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, the National Association of EMS Educators, the International Association of Fire Fighters and
the International Association of Fire Chiefs, have educated their members on the benefits of noninvasive CO measurement when exposure is suspected or when an individual presents symptoms that could indicate elevated CO levels. In 2015, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one
SpMet®
Methemoglobin in the blood leads to a dangerous condition known as methemoglobinemia, which occurs as a reaction to some common drugs used in hospitals and outpatient procedures. Methemoglobinemia reduces the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin for delivery to tissues and forces normal hemoglobin to bind more tightly to oxygen, releasing less oxygen to the tissues. Methemoglobinemia may go unrecognized or be subject to delayed diagnosis, increasing risk to the patient. Commonly prescribed drugs can introduce methemoglobin into the blood and cause methemoglobinemia. Some of the 30 drugs that are known to cause methemoglobinemia areinclude benzocaine, a local anesthetic routinely used in procedures ranging from endoscopy to surgery; inhaled nitric oxide, routinely used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit; nitroglycerin, used to treat cardiac patients,patients; and dapsone, used to treat infections for immune-deficient patients such as HIVHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients. Warnings, cautions and alerts regarding the clinical significance and prevalence of methemoglobinemia have been generated by the FDA, the Veterans Administration, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices and the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends monitoring methemoglobin levels in infants who receive nitric oxide therapy. While SpMet® is not intended to replace invasive methemoglobin tests, when used with other clinical variables, SpMet® may help clinicians identify elevated methemoglobin levels and help determine additional test and treatment options.
PVi®
Pleth Variability Index (PViPVi®) is a measure of the dynamic changes in the perfusion indexPerfusion Index (Pi) that occur during the respiratory cycle. The calculation is accomplished by measuring changes in Pi over a time interval where one or more complete respiratory cycles have occurred. PVi® is displayed as a percentage. The lower the number, the less variability there is in Pi over a respiratory cycle. PVi® may show changes that reflect physiologic factors such as vascular tone, circulating blood volume and intrathoracic pressure excursions. When used with other clinical variables, PVi® may help clinicians assess fluid responsiveness in surgical and intensive care patients who are mechanically ventilated and help determine other treatment options. PVi® has received FDA 510(k) clearance as a continuous, noninvasive, dynamic indicator of fluid responsiveness in select populations of mechanically ventilated adult patients.
RPVi™
Rainbow® Pleth Variability Index (RPVi™) is a multi-wavelength version of PVi®that is designed to provide enhanced specificity to changes in fluid volume compared to PVi®. Similar to PVi®, RPVi™ is displayed as a percentage and is calculated by measuring changes in Pi over a time interval where one or more complete respiratory cycles have occurred. The lower the number, the less variability there is in Pi over a respiratory cycle, which indicates more fluid in the body. RPVi™has received the CE Mark, but is not currently available for sale in the U.S.
RRp®
Respiration rate is defined as the number of breaths per minute. Changes in respiration rate provide an early warning sign of deterioration in patient condition. A low respiration rate is indicative of respiratory depression and high respiration rate is indicative of patient distress. Current methods of monitoring respiration rate include end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) monitoring, which requires a nasal cannula be inserted in the patient’s nose or a mask to be worn, and therefore has low patient compliance; and impedance monitoring, which is considered unreliable and requires the placement of ECG electrodes on the chest. RRp® allows clinicians to noninvasively and continuously measure and monitor respiration rate using a standard Masimo SET® pulse oximetry sensor or rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry sensor. RRp® is determined by the variations in the plethysmograph waveform due to respiration, although the measurement is not possible in all patients or conditions and may not immediately indicate changes in respiration rate. RRp®has received the CE Mark, butas well as FDA 510(k) clearance when used in healthcare settings with the MightySat® Rx fingertip SET®pulse oximeter. RRp® is not currently available for sale in the U.S. for medical use. However, RRp® isalso available in the U.S. as part of our MightySat™ fingertip pulse oximeter for use by consumers for general health and wellness purposes.purposes as part of our MightySat® fingertip pulse oximeter. RRp® has received FDA 510(k) clearance for continuous RRp® monitoring of adult and pediatric patients with Rad-97®, Radical-7® and Radius-7® Pulse Co-Oximeters®. With this clearance, both continuous and spot-check RRp® are now available in the U.S. and supported in a variety of pulse oximetry sensors and configurations, including a non-cabled, tetherless, wearable Radius PPG™.
RRa®
RRa®
Our sound-based monitoring technology, rainbow Acoustic Monitoring® (RAM®), enables RRa®and provides continuous and noninvasive monitoring of respiration rate. For patients requiring accurate and sensitive respiration rate monitoring, we believe that RRa® better detects pauses in breathing than respiration rate measurements from other technologies such as EtCO2 monitoring and RRp®. RRa® also provides an important visual indication of breathing through a displayed acoustic waveform.
Multiple clinical studies have shown that the noninvasive measurement of acoustic respiration rate provides as good or better respiration rate monitoring accuracy as EtCO2monitoring, and can reliably detect episodes of respiratory pause, defined as the cessation of breathing for 30 seconds or more. When used with other clinical variables, RRa® may help clinicians assess
respiratory depression and respiratory distress earlier and more often to help determine treatment options and potentially enable earlier interventions.
SpfO2SpfO2™
Prior to our debut of SpfO2™, pulse oximeters could only measure and display functional SpO2 oxygen saturation. Therefore, when patients had elevated carboxyhemoglobin and/or elevated methemoglobin, the displayed functional SpO2 oxygen saturation overestimated the actual oxygen saturation value. SpfO2™, or fractional oxygen saturation, allows more precise arterial oxygenation assessment in patients with elevated dyshemoglobins, common throughout the hospital and pre-hospital setting, compared to functional oxygen saturation, and may also allow earlier interventions and more timely therapeutic decisions. SpfO2™ has received the CE Mark, but is not currently available for sale in the U.S.
ORi™
Oxygen Reserve IndexORi™ (ORi™) provides real-time visibility to oxygenation status in moderate hyperoxic range, which we define as a patient’s oxygen “reserve”. ORi™ can be trended and has optional alarms to notify clinicians of changes in a patient’s oxygen reserve. When this technology is used with SpO2 monitoring, ORi™ may extend the continuous and noninvasive visibility of a patient’s oxygen status into ranges previously unmonitored in this fashion. ORi™ may also be of value in patients receiving supplemental oxygen, such as those in surgery, under conscious sedation or in the ICU, as ORi™is represented as an “index” parameter with a unit-less scale between 0.00 and 1.00. Furthermore, ORi™ may provide an advance warning of an impending hypoxic state, or an indication of an unintended hyperoxic state, when evaluated in conjunction with the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2). In this way, ORi™ may assist in determining the need for proactive interventions to avoid hypoxia or unintended hyperoxia. ORi™has received the CE Mark, but is not currently available for sale in the U.S.
Other Noninvasive Measurements and Technologies
Following the introduction of our rainbow SET™® platform, we have continued to expand our technology offerings by introducing additional noninvasive measurements and technologies to create new market opportunities in both hospital and non-hospital care settings.
SedLine® Brain Function Monitoring
Brain function monitoring is most commonly used during surgery to help clinicians avoid over-titration and under-titration of anesthesia and sedation. SedLine®brain function monitoring technology measures the brain’s electrical activity by detecting EEG signals. In contrast to whole-scalp EEG monitoring, which is used for diagnostic purposes, this form of EEG monitoring is often referred to as processed EEG monitoring or brain function monitoring. Brain function monitors display the patient’s EEG waveforms, but these may be difficult for clinicians to interpret. With SedLine® technology, EEG signals are processed and displayed as a single number called the Patient State Index (PSi), which gives a continuous quantitative indication of the patient’s depth of anesthesia and sedation. SedLine® brain function monitoring technology also displays raw EEG waveforms, the PSi trend and a Density Spectral Array view, which allows clinicians to compare EEG power in both sides of the brain over time to facilitate the detection of asymmetrical activity and agent-specific effects on the EEG signal.
SedLine® brain function monitoring technology is available on Root™® through the use of a Masimo Open Connect® (MOC-9®) connectivity port. The Root™® patient monitoring and connectivity platform integrates rainbow® and SET® measurements with measurement technologies, such as SedLine®.
NomoLine™® Capnography and Gas Monitoring
We offer a portfolio of capnography and gas monitoring products ranging from external “plug-in-and-measure” capnography and gas analyzers, integrated modules, handheld capnograph and capnometer devices and capnography sampling lines. Our NomoLine® capnography sampling lines are available in more than 40 configurations of airway adapter sets and cannulas for use in a variety of clinical scenarios on both intubated and non-intubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients, in both low and high humidity configurations, facilitating easy to use sidestream capnography and gas monitoring.
These products have the ability to measure multiple expired gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), oxygen (O2) and other anesthetic agents. In addition, respiration rate is calculated from the CO2 waveform. These measurements are possible through either mainstream monitoring, which samples gases from a ventilated patient’s breathing circuit, or sidestream monitoring, which samples gases from a breathing circuit in mechanically ventilated patients or through a cannula or mask in spontaneously breathing patients. These capnography and gas measurements are standard-of-care in many hospital environments, such as operating rooms and ICUs, during procedural sedation.
In November 2017, we released the full family of NomoLine™ capnography sampling lines to the U.S. market. NomoLine™ sampling lines are available in more than 40 configurations of airway adapter sets and cannulas for use in a variety of clinical scenarios on both intubated and non-intubated adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients, in both low and high humidity configurations. NomoLine™ capnography sampling lines are compatible with both Masimo and many third-party OEM monitors facilitating easy to use sidestream capnography and gas monitoring. NomoLine™® capnography sampling lines have received FDA 510(k) clearance.
O3®Organ Oximetry
O3® organ or Regional Oximetry,
O3® regional oximetry, also known as tissue or cerebral oximetry, uses near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to provide continuous measurement of tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) to help detect regional hypoxemia, or oxygen deficits in specific tissues such as the brain, that pulse oximetry alone cannot detect under certain conditions. In addition, O3® sensors, in conjunction with our Root™® monitor, can automate the differential analysis of regional to central oxygen saturation derived from SET® pulse oximeters. O3® monitoring involves applying O3® regional oximetry Regional Oximetry sensors to the forehead and connecting the O3® MOC-9® module to a Root™® monitor through one of its three MOC-9® ports. O3®regional oximetry Regional Oximetry has received the CE Mark and FDA 510(k) clearance for use in adult and pediatric patients.patients, including use of O3® in infant and neonatal patients, as well as expanded use in monitoring somatic tissue oxygenation saturation in all patient populations and monitoring relative changes in hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in adult brains.
Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring Solutions
In January 2021, we acquired LiDCO Group, PLC, which specializes in advanced hemodynamic monitoring solutions. With the completion of this acquisition, we will be able to provide clinicians with access to patients’ cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), oxygen delivery (DO2), stroke volume variation (SVV) and pulse pressure variation (PPV), which are used to assess preload and afterload, to help determine the current state of a patient’s hemodynamic stability and whether any interventions are needed to optimize the delivery of oxygen to the tissues. Hemodynamic monitoring solutions are also used to monitor the response to therapies such as vasopressors, inotropes and fluids.
The Masimo Hospital AutomationTM Platform
Patient SafetyNet™(1)
Patient SafetyNet™, our patient surveillance, remote monitoring and clinician notification solution, works in concert with our bedside and ambulatory monitoring devices to facilitate the supplemental monitoring of the oxygen saturation, pulse rate, perfusion index, hemoglobin, methemoglobin and respiration rate of up to 200 patients simultaneously from a single server. Patient SafetyNet™ offers an intuitive and powerful user interface with trending, real-time waveform capability at a central station, as well as remote clinician notification via pager, Voice-over-IPvoice-over-IP phone or smart-phones. Patient SafetyNet™ also features an Adaptive Connectivity Engine™ (ACE)(ACE™) that enables two-way, HL-7 based connectivity to clinical/hospital information systems. The ACE™ significantly reduces the time and complexity to integrate and validate custom HL-7 implementations, and demonstrates our commitment to innovation that automates patient care with open, scalable and standards-based connectivity architecture.
Patient SafetyNet™ Series 5000™, along with Iris®Hospital Automation™ Connectivity, Iris® Gateway,™ Kite®, Kite®UniView™, UniView : 60™, and MyView™® through the Root™® patient monitoring and connectivity platform, offers a new level of interoperability designed to enhance clinician workflows and reduce the cost of care in a variety of hospital settings, including operating rooms and the general care floors. Patient SafetyNet™ Series 5000™ with Iris® ports enables Root™® to assimilate data from all devices connected to the patient, thereby acting as a comprehensive in-room patient monitor and connectivity hub. Alarms and alerts for all devices are seamlessly forwarded to the patient’s clinician and device data can be transferred to the patient’s electronic medical record (EMR). The patient-centric user interface of the Patient SafetyNet™ Series 5000™ displays near real-time data from all devices with Kite®, providing a single unified dashboard of patient information. To simplify documentation of patient data, Root™® enables clinicians to easily verify and send patient vitals and Early Warning Scores (EWS), as well as all connected medical device information data, to the EMR directly from Root™®.
An interface between the Patient SafetyNet™ Series 5000™ and the hospital admission, discharge and transfer (ADT) system allows clinicians to receive ADT information on Root™® for positive patient identification at the bedside. Clinicians can also manually enter additional data on the Root™® device, including temperature, blood pressure, level of consciousness, pain score and urine output.
______________
(1) The use of the trademark Patient SafetyNet™ is under license from the University HealthSystem Consortium.
In an articlea series of studies published inbetween 2010 and 2020 by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, clinicians using Masimo SET® and Patient SafetyNet™ identified patient distress earlier, which decreased rapid response team activations, ICU transfers and ICU days. Per these studies, over ten years, there were zero preventable deaths or brain damage due to opioid-induced respiratory depression in monitored patients. In addition, we believe these studies demonstrated that the use of Masimo SET® and Patient SafetyNet™ can result in significant cost savings. Hospitals and other care centers may determine that they can reduce their costs by moving less critically ill patients from the ICU to the general care floors where they can be continuously and accurately monitored in a more cost-effective manner. We believe that the advanced performance of the Masimo SET® platform coupled with reliable, cost-effective and easy-to-use wireless remote monitoring will allow hospitals to create continuous surveillance solutions on general care floors where patients are at risk of avoidable adverse events and where direct patient observation by skilled clinicians is considered cost prohibitive.
MyView™Kite®
Kite® provides a supplemental display of data from a Masimo device on a compatible smart television and allows clinicians to configure the display differently than that of the connected Masimo device. Kite® integrates into existing hospital infrastructures where a supplementary display may be beneficial, such as the operating room.
UniView™
UniView™, an integrated display of real-time data and alarms from multiple Masimo and third-party devices, designed to reduce clinician cognitive overload and improve patient safety. UniView™ promotes data sharing and team coordination among multiple clinicians. UniView™ brings together data from a variety of sources – such as patient monitors, ventilators, anesthesia gas machines, and IV pumps – and provides a supplementary display for them, clearly organized, on one or more large, central monitors, so that all clinicians can simultaneously view and act upon the same, comprehensive real-time patient status and historical trends.
UniView : 60™
UniView : 60™ uses the Masimo Hospital Automation™ platform to aggregate and display pertinent patient information on a digital display just outside each patient’s room, allowing clinicians to familiarize themselves with the most relevant details of each patient’s case at the door in 60 seconds or less before they see the patient.
Replica™
Replica™, working in conjunction with Patient SafetyNet™, is a mobile application for smart phones and tablets that provides for supplemental remote monitoring and clinician notification. Replica™ was developed to allow clinicians to view continuous monitoring data for multiple patients, as well as view and respond to alarms and alerts, all from their smart phones, regardless of location.
MyView™®
MyView® is a wireless, presence-detection system that enables the display of customized clinical profiles on Masimo devices, such as Root™®, Radical-7® and the Patient SafetyNet™ View Station. When a clinician approaches the device, a clinician-worn MyView™® badge signals the device to display a preselected set of parameters and waveforms tailored to the individual clinician’s preferences. MyView™® gives clinicians the ability to receive and review medical device information in a manner that is most conducive to optimizing their workflow, while the presence mapping data collected by all the Masimo devices can provide insight into how clinicians spend time with patients. This provides nursing leadership and management the opportunity to examine analytical data on patient-clinician interactions and optimize workflows across the unit, hospital and hospital system.
Patient SafetyNet™ Surveillance
Patient SafetyNet™ Surveillance is a software option that provides real-time video images of a patient’s room, including the patient and connected monitoring devices, adding existing communication technology to central monitoring. Two-way audio is available to allow the caregiver to listen to and communicate with the patient. The system utilizes the existing hospital information technology network, precluding the installation of additional infrastructure.
Trace™
Trace™ is a patient data visualization and reporting software designed for Masimo Root™ and Radical-7® monitors. Trace™ is the first data visualization and reporting software compatible with the full capabilities of the Masimo Root™ Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform, including Radical-7® and Radius-7®Pulse CO-Oximeters®, Root™ with integrated noninvasive blood pressure and temperature, and connected MOC-9® modules such as SedLine® brain function monitoring, NomoLine™ capnography and O3® regional oximetry.
Third-Party Device Connectivity
Despite medical technology advances, the lack of device communication and integration creates risks to patient safety in hospitals around the world. Without device interoperability, critical patient information can go unnoticed, leaving clinicians unaware and patients at risk. Existing approaches for device interoperability require separate hardware, software and/or network infrastructure, which can clutter the patient room, increase complexity, burden IT management and increase costs. To address these challenges, we introduced Iris® connectivity in our Root™® patient monitoring and connectivity platform. Iris® connectivity enables multiple standalone third-party devices such as intravenous pumps (IV), ventilators, hospital beds and other patient monitors to connect through Root™®, enabling display, notification and documentation to the EMR through Masimo Patient SafetyNet.SafetyNet™.
The addition of Iris® connectivity to Root™® and Patient SafetyNet™ provides multiple advantages to hospitals, such as allowing standalone device information to be remotely viewed at a Patient SafetyNet™ view station, transmitted through notification systems to clinicians regardless of location or sent to electronic health record systems. This may enhance patient assessment, clinical workflows and decision support. In addition, bringing data from disparate devices together facilitates more integrated patient care and provides a flexible and cost-effective platform, while avoiding installation of separate costly interoperative systems and potentially reducing costs by leveraging existing network infrastructure.
Nasal High-Flow Ventilation
The Masimo softFlow™ technology provides respiratory support by generating a precisely regulated, stable and high flow of room air or a mix of room air and oxygen through the nose of the patient by means of thin nasal prongs. Controlled oxygen supply ensures oxygenation while, at the same time, the respiratory airways are humidified. A stable air flow is essential for treating hypoxemic and hypercapnic respiratory failure. Together with the softflow™ nasal applicator, the softflow™ generator provides a constant air flow and in doing so, it is completely independent of external pneumatic systems. Due to this, the Masimo softFlow™ technology is able to treat respiratory insufficiency and allows therapy at home in a manner that is as reliable and efficient as in the hospital.
Neuromodulation Solution
Bridge™ is the first FDA-cleared, drug-free, non-surgical device to use neuromodulation to aid in the reduction of symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. Bridge™ can be used for patients experiencing opioid withdrawal symptoms, while undergoing treatment for opioid use disorder when initiating treatment, transitioning to naltrexone or tapering off medication-assisted treatment. In addition, we believe Bridge™ may reduce pain and addiction-related side-effects. Bridge™ is a small electrical nerve stimulator device that contains a battery-powered chip and wires that are applied percutaneously around a patient’s ear. It requires a prescription and is offered to qualified healthcare professionals with training. Bridge™ has been granted a FDA 510(k) de novo classification.
Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) Response and Telehealth Solutions
Masimo SafetyNet™
In an effort to help clinicians and public health officials combat the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed the Masimo SafetyNet™ solution. The Masimo SafetyNet™ solution provides continuous tetherless pulse oximetry and respiration rate monitoring coupled with a patient surveillance platform. Masimo SafetyNet™solution is available worldwide. In partnership with Samsung Electronics America (Samsung), the Masimo SafetyNet™ Patient App is available on select Samsung smartphones, pre-installed and pre-configured.
Masimo SafetyNet-OPEN™
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, companies and organizations worldwide struggle to find the appropriate balance between reopening and keeping people safe by reducing the risk of infection. Masimo SafetyNet-OPEN™ was designed to help businesses, governments and schools more responsibly manage employee and student health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Masimo SafetyNet-OPEN™ helps address certain challenges of reopening responsibly and safely with a comprehensive, flexible, and easy-to-deploy continuous monitoring solution that, in conjunction with clinical guidance from partner hospitals, helps manage prevention, early identification, and recovery monitoring. As a global leader in noninvasive patient monitoring technologies and advanced connectivity and automation solutions, we believe we are uniquely positioned to provide organizations with tools to assist them in reopening safely.
Recent Developments
On February 15, 2022, we announced our entry into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Viper Holdings Corporation, which owns Sound United (“Sound United”), a consumer technology company that owns a portfolio of premium brands, including Bowers & Wilkins, Denon, Polk Audio and Marantz. Pursuant to the merger agreement, we will pay approximately $1.025 billion, subject to adjustments, for the acquisition. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the middle of 2022.
Our Strategy
Our mission is to develop technologies that improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of patient care. We intend to continue to grow our businessimpact on patient care by not only providing patient-centered solutions to healthcare providers, but by also expanding outside of the hospital arena with our technologies that are improving lives in the hospitals. We believe that people and infrastructures are ready for actionable patient care outside of the hospital. Some of our tactics are explained below:
•Continue to Expand our Market Share in Pulse Oximetry. We grew our product revenue to $1,239.2 million in 2021 from $829.9 million in 2018, representing a three-year compound annual growth rate of 14.3%. This growth can be attributed to continued expansion of our core SET® pulse oximeter customer base, higher revenues from rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry, NomoLine® capnography and other new technologies, and our expanding list of OEM partners. We supplement our direct sales to hospitals and other low-acuity healthcare facilities through various U.S. and international distributors. Combined sales through our direct and distributor sales channels increased to $1,099.1 million, or 88.7% of product revenue in 2021, from $718.6 million, or 86.6% of product revenue, in 2018. As the healthcare industry shifts toward hospitals, physicians and providers being rewarded by payers based on the quality and value of the services (as opposed to the volume of fee-for-service transactions), we expect to see more hospitals gravitate towards technologies like Masimo SET® that have a proven track record of improving patient care.
•Expand the Pulse Oximetry Market to Other Patient Care Settings. Many patients die due to unintended opioid overdoses after surgery while on general care floors. We believe the ability to continuously and accurately monitor patients outside of critical care settings, including the general, medical and surgical floors of the hospital, is currently an unmet medical need that has the potential to significantly improve patient care and increase the size of the pulse oximetry market. In addition, we believe the ability of Masimo SET® to accurately monitor and address the limitations of conventional pulse oximetry has enabled us, and will continue to enable us, to expand into non-critical care settings, and therefore, significantly expand the market for our products. To further support our expansion into the general care areas, we market positionPatient SafetyNet™, which enables continuous monitoring of up to 200 patients’ SpO2, PR, RRp® and with rainbow SET®, noninvasive monitoring of hemoglobin and other advanced measurements. We believe that Patient SafetyNet™, when combined with Masimo SET® pulse oximetry and RAM® or capnography, offers a clinically proven and cost-effective approach to continuous post-operative monitoring. Outside of the hospital setting, patients could die due to unintentional opioid overdose, even when opioids are being taken for short duration, such as after surgery, and as prescribed by pursuinga physician.
•Expand the following strategies:Use of rainbow®Technology in Hospital Settings. We believe the noninvasive measurements of rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry (SpHb®, SpCO®, SpMet®, PVi®, SpfO2™, SpOC™ and ORi™), RAM® and Halo Ion®, as well as future measurements, provide an excellent opportunity to help our customers improve patient care while reducing their overall cost of care.

• | Continue to Expand our Market Share in Pulse Oximetry. We grew our product revenue to $741.3 million in 2017 from $556.8 million in 2014, representing a three-year compound annual growth rate of 10.0%. This growth can be attributed to continued expansion of our core SET® pulse oximeter customer base, higher revenues from rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry, NomoLine™ capnography and other new technologies, and our expanding list of OEM partners. We supplement our direct sales to hospitals and other low-acuity healthcare facilities through various U.S. and international distributors. Combined sales through our direct and distributor sales channels increased to $647.8 million, or 87.4% of product revenue in 2017, from $472.7 million, or 84.9% of product revenue, in 2014. As the healthcare industry shifts toward hospitals, physicians and providers being rewarded by payers based on the quality and value of the services (as opposed to the volume of fee-for-service transactions), we expect to see more hospitals gravitate towards technologies like Masimo SET® that have a proven track record of improving patient care.

•Expand the Use of Root® in Hospital Settings. We believe Root® represents a powerful paradigm in patient monitoring because it enhances our rainbow® and SET®measurements with multiple specialty parameters, including SedLine® brain function monitoring, O3® Regional Oximetry, and NomoLine® capnography and gas monitoring, and enables open-architecture connectivity in an integrated, clinician-centric hub. Our Hospital Automation™ integration platform for Root® provides a conduit to the patient’s EMR for a range of clinical devices that may otherwise remain disconnected, and therefore, unable to communicate their information. Hospital Automation™, in conjunction with the Iris® ports found on Root®, offers clinical utility and flexibility by collecting device information from multiple sources and making it available to clinicians in one networked place, akin to an airplane cockpit. Complementary innovations like the Radius-7® wearable, wireless monitor foster an environment of safety without sacrificing patient mobility or comfort. Radius-7® provides patients in medical-surgical units with mobility, allowing them to visit common areas and labs, all while being continuously monitored around the clock. Root® is acuity-adaptable, meaning it can be configured for any care area, and is competitively priced.
•Expand Hospital Automation™ and Connectivity in Hospital Settings. We believe we can improve and automate the continuum of care through our connectivity platform by reducing complexity by integrating data from multiple disparate monitors and therapeutic devices through Root® and Iris® Gateway; by deploying decision support algorithms like Halo
ION®; by saving time through semi-automated and automated bedside vital signs measurement and documentation with Patient SafetyNet™; by keeping patients connected with their care providers through Masimo SafetyNet™ and Rad 97® when they are discharged from hospitals; by improving data interpretation through adaptable and intuitive displays like UniView™, UniView : 60™ and MyView®; and through remote monitoring via Patient SafetyNet™ and Replica™.

•Expand Masimo technology into the personal health consumer and home market. Our first general wellness and personal health consumer and home market application was the MightySat®, a fingertip pulse oximeter with five important health and breathing measurements that was targeted at sports, fitness and relaxation. These values include: O2, PR, RRp®, PI and PVI®. In the past two years, we launched six additional products for the consumer and home market. We released the Radius T°™, a means to monitor a loved one’s fever in a hassle-free continuous manner; Masimo Sleep™, a means to help you understand what is going on in your body that may be impacting your sleep; Bridge™, the first FDA-cleared, drug-free, non-surgical device to use neuromodulation to aid in the reduction of symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal; Masimo Doctella, a secure, cloud-based platform that allows providers to customize interactive digital CarePrograms™ for their patients from the hospital to the home by helping them view patient inputs and compliance with treatment plans, interpret physiological data, and collect population health data; SafetyNet-OPEN™, a remote patient management solution for tracking key vital signs at the organizational level; and finally, SafetyNet-Alert™, a remote patient management solution for tracking key vital signs at home. We believe that in the home setting, accurate monitoring with Masimo SET® and Masimo SafetyNet Alert™ may help reduce the risk of opioid overdose by alerting family members and others when opioids have slowed a patient’s breathing and caused a significant drop in oxygen saturation.
•Expand the Masimo product portfolio through strategic investments and acquisitions. In 2020 and 2021, we successfully completed three strategic acquisitions and an exclusive license agreement, all of which are currently being integrated into our product portfolio. In addition, on February 15, 2022, we announced our entry into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Sound United, a consumer technology company that owns a portfolio of premium brands. We continually evaluate new and exciting opportunities to expand our product portfolio. We pursue the opportunities that we believe will add stockholder value, can be successfully integrated within our business and show positive potential to achieve our business and financial objectives.
We plan to continue to innovate and develop new technologies and products, internally and through our collaboration with Cercacor, from whom we currently license certain rainbow® technologies.
Our future growth strategy is also closely tied to our focus on international expansion opportunities. Since 2007, we have continued to expand our sales and marketing presence in Europe, Asia, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Canada and Latin America.

O3®regional oximetryRegional Oximetry has received the CE Mark and FDA 510(k) clearance.
In June 2017, we announced our first MOC-9® partnership, which enables third parties to utilize Root™’s open architecture and built-in connectivity to independently develop, obtain regulatory approvals, and commercialize their own external MOC-9® module. Alternatively, third parties can develop Masimo Open Connect Control (MOC-C™) applicationsEarly Warning Signs (EWS) for Root™ using the MOC-9® software development kit (SDK). While we support the development efforts of our MOC® partners as needed, and help increase awareness of the availability of non-Masimo MOC-9® modules and MOC-C™ applications, our MOC-9® partners use their existing distribution channels to sell their MOC-9® modules or MOC-C™ applications to customers.
In February 2017, we introduced a limited market release of the EWS for Root™. EWS aggregates information from multiple vital signs and clinical observations to generate a score that represents the potential degree of patient deterioration. There are several EWS protocols, such as the Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS), Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) and National Early Warning Score (NEWS). These various scores require vital signs contributors such as oxygen saturation, pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature and systolic blood pressure along with contributors input by clinicians, such as level of consciousness, use of supplemental oxygen and urine output. The weighting and number of contributors differ depending upon which EWS protocol is used. Root™® can be customized for various predefined EWS protocols, or hospitals can configure their own set of required contributors, and their relative weights, to create an EWS unique to their care environment.
Our MOC-9® partnerships enable third parties to utilize Root®’s open architecture and built-in connectivity to independently develop, obtain regulatory approvals, and commercialize their own external MOC-9® module. Alternatively, third parties can develop Masimo Open Connect Control™ (MOC-C™) applications for Root® using the MOC-9® software development kit (SDK). While we support the development efforts of our MOC® partners as needed, and help increase awareness of the availability of non-Masimo MOC-9® modules and MOC-C™ applications, our MOC-9® partners use their existing distribution channels to sell their MOC-9® modules or MOC-C™ applications to customers.

X-Cal®
Sensor and cable failures can prevent pulse oximeters from providing the patient safety advantages that continuous pulse oximetry monitoring is intended to provide. Our X-Cal® technology enhances patient safety and improves clinician efficiency by preserving system quality, performance and reliability and reducing the chances of bad or inferior sensors and cables being used on patients. X-Cal® technology enhances the benefits of Masimo’s pulse oximetry by incorporating the means to track the expected monitoring life of our sensors and cables and provides appropriate user messaging on the host monitor.
X-Cal® addresses three common problems experienced by clinicians using an integrated Masimo system, including:
•Patient safety may be compromised by using imitationcounterfeit Masimo sensors and cables because they are not produced with comparable components, do not provide proper shielding from ambient interferences, create electrostatic noise caused by motion, do not have our quality and performance controls, and are not tested or warranted to work within a Masimo system;
•We design our sensors and cables to last well beyond their warranty period and customer feedback indicates our sensors and cables last significantly longer than competing products, but cable and sensor reliability may still be compromised when used beyond their intended life, affecting patient care and causing clinicians and biomedical engineers to spend time troubleshooting intermittent cable and sensor issues; and

• | We believe that third-party reprocessed pulse oximetry sensors introduce challenges in the clinical environment due to potential quality issues. In fact, we believe that most third-party reprocessed sensors do not indicate that they are capable of performing in the same conditions as Masimo Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion® sensors or in neonatal applications, key performance requirements available with Masimo SET® sensors. To the best of our knowledge, no third-party company has attempted to reprocess rainbow SET™ sensors.

(2)Non-vital signs measurements include the body fluid constituents other than vital signs measurements and include, but are not limited to, carbon monoxide, methemoglobin, blood glucose, hemoglobin and bilirubin.
Our License to Cercacor. We granted Cercacor an exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license, with sublicense rights, to use our Masimo SET® technology, including all improvements, for the monitoring of non-vital signs measurements and to develop and sell devices incorporating Masimo SET® for monitoring non-vital signs measurements in the “Cercacor Market”. The Cercacor Market consists of any product market in which a product is intended to be used by a patient or pharmacist rather than a professional medical caregiver regardless of the particular location of the sale, including sales to doctors, hospitals, alternate care market professionals or otherwise, provided the product is intended to be recommended, or resold, for use by the patient or pharmacist. We also granted Cercacor a non-exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license, with sublicense rights, to use Masimo SET® for the measurement of vital signs in the Cercacor Market. In exchange, Cercacor pays us a 10% royalty on the amount of vital signs sensors and accessories sold by Cercacor.
Cercacor’s License to us. We exclusively license from Cercacor the right to make and distribute products in the “Masimo Market” that utilize rainbow® technology for the measurement of carbon monoxide, methemoglobin, fractional arterial oxygen saturation, and hemoglobin, which includes hematocrit. The Masimo Market consists of any product market where the product is intended to be used by a professional medical caregiver, including hospital caregivers, surgicenter caregivers, paramedic vehicle caregivers, doctors’ offices caregivers, alternate care facility caregivers and vehicles where alternative care services are provided. We also have the option to obtain exclusive licenses to make and distribute products in the Masimo Market that utilize rainbow® technology for the monitoring of other non-vital signs measurements, including blood glucose. We have 180 days after proof of feasibility to exercise the above-referenced option to obtain a license for the measurement of blood glucose
for an additional $2.5 million and licenses for other non-vital signs measurements for an additional $0.5 million each. The licenses are exclusive until the later of 20 years from the grant of the applicable license or the expiration of the last patent included in the rainbow® technology related to the applicable measurements. To date, we have developed and commercially released devices that measure carbon monoxide, methemoglobin and hemoglobin using licensed rainbow® technology. We also make and distribute products that monitor respiration rate via rainbow Acoustic Monitoring®, which is a Masimo-developed rainbow® technology and, therefore, is not required to be licensed from Cercacor.
Our license to use rainbow® technology for these measurements in these markets is exclusive on the condition that we continue to pay Cercacor royalties on our products incorporating rainbow® technology, subject to certain minimum aggregate royalty thresholds, and that we use commercially reasonable efforts to develop or market products incorporating the licensed rainbow® technology. The royalty is up to 10% of the rainbow® royalty base, which includes handhelds, tabletop and multiparameter devices. Handheld products incorporating rainbow® technology carry a 10% royalty rate. For other products, only the proportional amount attributable to that portion of our devices used to monitor non-vital signs measurements, rather than to monitor vital signs measurements, and sensors and accessories for measuring only non-vital sign parameters are included in the 10% rainbow® royalty base. For multiparameter devices, the rainbow® royalty base includes the percentage of the revenue based on the number of rainbow®-enabled measurements.
For hospital contracts where we place equipment and enter into a sensor contract, we pay a royalty to Cercacor on the total sensor contract revenue based on the ratio of rainbow®-enabled devices to total devices. DuringPursuant to the year ended December 30, 2017 and going forward,terms of the license, we are subject to certain specific annual minimum aggregate royalty payment obligations of $5.0 million per year.
Change in Control. The Cross-Licensing Agreement provides that, upon a change in control:
•if the surviving or acquiring entity ceases to use “Masimo” as a company name and trademark, all rights to the “Masimo” trademark will be assigned to Cercacor;
•the option to license technology developed by Cercacor for use in blood glucose monitoring will be deemed automatically exercised and a $2.5 million license fee for this technology will become immediately payable to Cercacor; and
•the minimum aggregate annual royalties payable to Cercacor for carbon monoxide, methemoglobin, fractional arterial oxygen saturation, hemoglobin and/or glucose will increase to $15.0 million per year until the exclusivity period of the agreement ends, plus up to $2.0 million for each additional measurement with no maximum ceiling for non-vital sign measurements.
For purposes of the Cross-Licensing Agreement, a change in control includes any of the following with respect to us or Cercacor:
•the sale of all or substantially all of either company’s assets to a non-affiliated third-party;
•the acquisition by a non-affiliated third-party of 50% or more of the voting power of either company;
•Joe Kiani, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of Cercacor, resigns or is terminated from his position with either company; or
•the merger or consolidation of either company with a non-affiliated third-party.

Any improvements to Masimo SET® or rainbow® technology made by Cercacor, by us, or jointly by Cercacor with us or with any third-party that relates to non-vital signs monitoring, and any new technology acquired by Cercacor, is and will be owned by Cercacor. Any improvements to the Masimo SET® platform or rainbow® technology made by Cercacor, by us, or jointly by Cercacor with us or with any third-party that relates to vital signs monitoring, and any new technology acquired by us, is and will be owned by us. However, for both non-vital signs and vital signs monitoring, any improvements to the technology, excluding acquired technology, will be assigned to the other party and will be subject to the terms of the licenses granted under the Cross-Licensing Agreement. Any new non-vital signs monitoring technology utilizing Masimo SET® that we develop will be owned by Cercacor and will be subject to the same license and option fees as if it had been developed by Cercacor. Also, we will not be reimbursed by Cercacor for our expenses relating to the development of any such technology.
Other Agreements with Cercacor. We have also entered into various other agreements with Cercacor, including an Administrative Services Agreement, a Consulting Services Agreement and a Sublease Agreement. See Note 43 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on these agreements and other transactions with Cercacor. As a result of changes in the capital structure of Cercacor, as well as certain of its contractual relationships with us, we completed a re-evaluation of the authoritative consolidation guidance during the year ended December 31, 2016 and determined that, although Cercacor remains a variable interest entity, we are no longer its primary beneficiary. Based on such
determination, we discontinued consolidating Cercacor within our consolidated financial statements effective as of January 3, 2016. However, Cercacor continues to be consolidated within our consolidated financial information for all periods prior to January 3, 2016. See Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Government Regulation
As a global medical technology company, we are subject to significant government regulation, compliance requirements, fees and costs, both in the U.S. and abroad. These regulatory requirements subject our products and our business to numerous risks that are specifically discussed within “Risks“Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment” under Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors” within this Annual Report on Form 10-K. A summary of certain critical aspects of our regulatory environment is included below. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) PremarketProduct Clearance and Approval Requirements
The FDA, along with other federal, state and local authorities, regulates
Many of our products and product-related activities. Pursuant toare regulated by numerous government agencies, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA)most significant of which are the U.S. FDA, the national authorities in the European Union (EU) and the regulations promulgated underUnited Kingdom (UK), and MHLW in Japan. In addition, there are government agencies that Act, the FDA regulatesregulate our products in other countries, whose requirements vary substantially from country to country. These agencies require us to comply with laws that regulate the design, development, clinical trials, testing, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, import, export and promotion of medical devices. We endeavor to ensure that our products and procedures remain in compliance with all applicable FDA regulations, but the regulations regarding the manufacture and salemany of our products are subject to change. We cannot predictproducts.
In the effect, if any, that these changes might have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. UnlessU.S., unless an exemption applies, each medical device that we wish to market in the U.S. must, generally, first receive from the FDA either 510(k) clearance by filingof a 510(k) premarket notification or approval of a premarket application (PMA) approval, after submitting a PMA. Alternatively,. In some cases, the device may be clearedauthorized by FDA through the de novo classification process by the FDA.
process. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process requires us to show that our new medical device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed “predicate” medical device and usually takes from four to nine months, but it canmay take longer. The PMA process requires us to demonstrate through valid scientific evidence that there is reasonable assurance of obtainingsafety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use. The PMA approval or de novo classificationprocess is much more costly, lengthy and uncertain than the process of obtaining 510(k) clearance. We cannot be sure thatBoth 510(k) clearance,and PMA approval or de novo classification will be obtained for any product we proposesubmissions are subject to marketuser fees. The FDA determines the appropriate process based on a timely basis or at all. In addition, if the FDA discovers that an applicant has submitted false or misleading information, the FDA may refuse to review submissions until certain requirements are met pursuant to its Application Integrity Policy.
Although an applicant may initially choose whether to submit a 510(k) notification for clearance, a PMA for approval or a de novo request for classification, the FDA decides which pathway is appropriate based upon therisk classification of the medical device. There are three classifications, from Class I devices are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to the FDA’s general regulatory controls (General Controls) for medical devices, which include compliance with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR), facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse medical events and malfunctions, reporting of corrections and removals, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising and promotional materials. Only specified Class I devices, including devices with software, are subject to the design controls requirements of the QSR; other Class I devices are exempt from design control requirements. Some Class I devices are also exempt from many of the manufacturing practice requirements of the QSR by regulation. While most Class I devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification process, some Class I devices also require 510(k) clearance by the FDA.
Class II devices are subject to the FDA’s General Controls, including the Design Control requirements of the QSR, and any other special controls deemed necessary by the FDA to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. Premarket review and clearance by the FDA for Class II devices is accomplished through the 510(k) premarket notification procedure, although some Class II devices are exempt from the premarket notification requirement.III. The majority of our current regulated devices are classified asproducts have been deemed Class II devices, requiring 510(k) clearance, while only a few are classified assome have been deemed Class I devices.
To obtain 510(k) clearance, a company must submit a premarket notification demonstrating substantial equivalence between the proposed device and a legally marketed “predicate” device, which is defined as a legally marketed device, that (i) was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976, for which the FDA has not yet called for submission of a PMA application; (ii) has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or Class I; (iii) has been cleared through the 510(k) premarket notification process; or (iv) has been previously determined to be exempt from the 510(k) process. Substantial equivalence means that the proposed device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, or, if the new device has different technological characteristics, that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a major change or modification in its intended use, requires a new 510(k) clearance or, if the modified device is not substantially equivalent, could require a PMA approval or de novo classification. The FDA requires each manufacturer to make this determination in the first instance, but the FDA can review this decision. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s decision not to seek a new 510(k) clearance, PMA approval or de novo classification, the
agency may retroactively require the manufacturer to seek 510(k) clearance, PMA approval or de novo classification. The FDA can also require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance, PMA approval or de novo classification is obtained.
Class III devices are those deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or those devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. Due to the risk level associated with Class III devices, the FDA has determined that general and special controls alone are insufficient to assure the safety and effectiveness of the device. These Class III devices must be approved through the PMA approval process during which the manufacturer must provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for the intended use(s) of the device to the FDA’s satisfaction. A PMA application must be supported by valid scientific evidence, including extensive preclinical (including bench tests and laboratory and animal studies) and clinical studies as well as information about the device and its components regarding, among other things, device design, manufacturing and labeling. Also during the review period, an advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. As part of the PMA application review, the FDA will conduct a preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with the FDA’s QSRs. If the FDA approves the PMA, it may place restrictions on the device or the labeling or require additional clinical studies, monitoring or other post-market requirements. If the FDA’s evaluation of the PMA application or the manufacturing facility is not favorable, the FDA may deny approval of the PMA application or issue a “not approvable” letter. The FDA may also require additional clinical trials, which can delay the PMA approval process by several years or otherwise make obtaining PMA approval infeasible. NoneMost of our productsOEM partners are currently approved under the PMA process.
A clinical trial may be required in support of a 510(k) submission and generally is required for a PMA application or de novo classification request. Clinical trials involving a “significant risk” device require an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application approved in advance by the FDA for a specified number of patients, unless the proposed study is deemed to be exempt from the IDE requirements. If the study meets the requirements for a non-significant risk study, it may be eligible for compliance with “abbreviated” IDE requirements, which include a subset of the requirements applicable to significant risk medical devices studies. If a complete IDE is required, the IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results, protocols for the proposed investigation and other information demonstrating that the device is appropriate for use with humans in a clinical study. Clinical trials may begin if the IDE application is approved by the FDA and the appropriate institutional review boards (IRBs) at the clinical trial sites. Submission of an IDE application does not give assurance that the FDA will issue the IDE. If the IDE application is approved, there can be no assurance the FDA will determine that the data derived from the trials support the safety and effectiveness of the device or warrant the continuation of clinical trials. An IDE supplement must be submitted to and approved by the FDA before a sponsor or investigator may make a change to the investigational plan that may affect its scientific soundness, study indication or the rights, safety or welfare of human subjects. Both significant risk and non-significant risk trials must also comply with the FDA’s regulations, including the requirement that informed consent be obtained from each subject, and with clinical trial reporting regulations that require us to submit information on certain clinical trials to a database maintained by the National Institutes of Health. Even if a trial is completed, the results of clinical testing may not adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the device or may otherwise not be sufficient to obtain FDA clearance or approval to market the product in the U.S.
We believe that our OEM partners may be required to obtain 510(k) premarket clearance from the FDA for certain of their productsdevices that incorporate Masimo’s technologies, like Masimo SET® technology, Masimo rainbow SET™® technology, Masimo Board-in-Cable technology, or Masimoare used with Masimo’s sensors. In order to facilitate receipt of 510(k) clearance by our OEM partners for their products that incorporate Masimo SET® or Masimo rainbow SET™ boards and sensors, weWe generally grant our OEM partners a right to cross-reference the 510(k) submission files from our cleared Masimo SET® circuit boards, sensors, cables and notification systems.
WeIn the EU, medical devices are currently subject to the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC (MDD). Under the MDD, a medical device may only be placed on the market within the EU if it conforms to certain “essential requirements”. Key requirements include that a medical device achieves its intended performance and does not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients or the safety and health of users and others, and bears the CE Mark. A medical device that conforms to such essential requirements can bear a CE Mark, which allows the device to be placed on the market throughout the EU. Each medical device that we wish to market in the EU must conform to these requirements.
Conformity is determined through an assessment procedure, which depends upon the risk classification of the device. For our iSpO2® pulse oximeterEU medical devices, conformity assessment generally involves a notified body. Notified bodies are often private entities that are authorized or licensed by government authorities to perform, or otherwise have oversight over, such assessments. Notified bodies may also review a manufacturer’s quality systems. If the conformity assessment is successfully completed, the manufacturer may apply a CE Mark to the product. This allows the general commercializing of a product in the EU. However, the product can also be subject to local registration requirements depending on the country.
On May 26, 2021, the existing MDD was repealed and MightySat™ fingertip pulse oximeter for general healthreplaced by the Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR). The MDR is similar to the MDD, though it includes significantly more stringent requirements, notably stronger conformity assessment procedures, greater control over notified bodies and wellness use. We are marketing these productstheir standards, increased transparency, and more robust device vigilance requirements. The MDR applies to the medical devices we commercialize in accordancethe EU after May 26, 2021. However, the MDR is subject to certain transitional periods that enable certain notified body certificates to remain valid beyond 2021. For some of our devices, this could be as late as May 2024.
The UK exited the EU on December 31, 2020 (Brexit). The UK does not intend to implement the MDR into the laws of Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is an exception where the MDR will continue to apply. Great Britain instead introduced a new, standalone medical devices framework. Currently, this aligns closely to the MDD. Instead of a CE Mark, medical devices marketed in Great Britain must bear a UKCA Mark. However, EU CE Marks will continue to be recognized in Great Britain until June 30, 2023, as will certificates issued by EU-recognized notified bodies. This arrangement is not reciprocated in the EU. Each medical device that we wish to market in the UK must comply with the FDA’s current policy and enforcement discretion which indicates that pulse oximeters that are not intended for medical purposes can be marketed directly to consumers without first obtaining 510(k) clearance. We cannot assure you that the FDA will not change its policy regarding the regulation of these products. If the FDA changes its policy, we may be required to seek 510(k) clearance to market these pulse oximeters. We also may be required to cease marketing and/or recall the products until we obtain new 510(k) clearances.
The regulatory regime is subject to change by Congress or the FDA. For example, in December 2016, Congress enacted the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act), which contained several provisions related to the review and approval of new medical technologies. Along with other changes, the Cures Act established a statutory program for “breakthrough” devices, defined as devices intended to treat or diagnose a life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating disease that represents a breakthrough technology, devices that have no approved/cleared alternatives, devices that offer significant advantages over approved/cleared alternatives, or devices where the availability of such device isnational laws in the best interest of patients. TheUK, which going forward may differ from the laws in the EU.
Continuing FDA will apply additional resources to help speed the approval or clearance ofRegulation
Clinical trials involving medical devices that are designated as breakthrough devices. The Cures Act also
included provisions related to the “least burdensome” principle and expanded the number of patients that could be treated using a device approved under a Humanitarian Device Exemption, among other provisions.
User Fees
Unless a specific exemption or waiver applies, 510(k) submissions, de novo classification requests, and PMA applications are subject to user fees. The PMAFDA regulation. Among other requirements, clinical trial sponsors must comply with requirements related to informed consent, Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, monitoring, reporting, record-keeping, labeling and de novo classification user fees are significantly higher thanpromotion. If the user fees for 510(k) notifications. Thestudy involves a significant risk device, the sponsor must obtain FDA was recently reauthorizedapproval of an investigational device exemption in addition to assess medicalIRB approval prior to beginning the study. Information regarding certain device user fees through fiscal year 2022 pursuantclinical trials must also be submitted to a public database maintained by the FDA Reauthorization ActNational Institutes of 2017.
Pervasive and Continuing FDA RegulationHealth.
After a device is approved and placed on the market, it continuesnumerous regulatory requirements continue to be subjectapply. These regulatory requirements include, but are not limited to, the FDA’s regulatory authority. The FDA regulatory requirements include:
following: product listing and establishment registration, which helps facilitate FDA inspections and other regulatory action;
unique device identification (UDI) registration, which identifies medical devices through their distribution and use;
QSRs and current good manufacturing practices,registration; adherence to the Quality System Regulation (QSR) which requires manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design control, testing, change control, documentation and other quality assurance
procedures during all aspectsfor the design, manufacture, storage and handling of the developmentdevices; labeling requirements and manufacturing process, including requirements for packaging, labeling and record keeping, complaint handling, corrective and preventive actions and internal auditing;
labeling control and advertising regulations, including FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or off-label uses or indications;
for 510(k)-cleared devices, clearance of product modifications that could significantly affect safety or efficacy or that would constitute a major change or modification in intended use of one of our cleared devices;
for any future PMA approved products, approval of product modifications that affect the safety or effectiveness of the device;
medical adverse event and device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or if their device has malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction of the device or a similar device were to recur;
for any future PMA approved products,reporting; post-approval restrictions or conditions, including post-approval study commitments;
clinical trials or other required testing; post-market surveillance requirements, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device;
requirements; the FDA’s recall authority, whereby it can ask for, or under certain conditions order, device manufacturers torequire, the recall of products from the market a product that is in violation of its conditions of approval, governing laws and/or regulations;
regulations pertainingmarket; and requirements relating to voluntary recalls; and
notices of corrections or removals.
We must register with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer, list all products placed in commercial distribution and obtain all necessary state permits, licenses or other authorizations to operate our business. As a manufacturer, we Device manufacturers are subject to announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA to determine ourevaluate compliance with the FDA’s QSR and other regulations. Our OEM partners also are subject to inspection and market surveillance by the FDA to determine compliance with regulatorythese requirements.
If the FDA finds that we or one of our OEM partners have failed to comply with the FDA’s QSR, the agency can institute a wide variety of enforcement and other regulatory actions, including:
an FDA Form 483, which is issued by the FDA at the conclusion of an inspection when an investigator has observed any conditions that may constitute potential violations of the FDCA and related Acts;
a public warning letter that notifies a company of potential violations of the FDCA;
fines and monetary civil penalties against us and/or OEM partners;
delays in clearing or approving, or refusal to clear or approve, our products;
withdrawal or suspension of clearances and/or approvals of our products or those of our third-party suppliers by the FDA or other regulatory bodies;
product recall;
product detention or seizure;
interruption of production;
refusal to provide Certificates to Foreign Governments (CFGs), which may be necessary to permit the export of devices from the U.S. to other countries;
operating restrictions;
injunctions of future violations (including those agreed to in a consent decree); and
criminal prosecution.
The FDA also has the authority to request repair, replacement or refund of the cost of any medical device manufactured or distributed by us.
Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and promotion of medical devices, in addition to being regulated by the FDA, are also regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and by federal and state regulatory and enforcement authorities, including the Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, and various state attorneys general. Although physicians are permitted to use their medical judgment to use medical devices for indications other than those cleared or approved by the FDA, we may not promote our products for such “off-label” uses and can only market our products for cleared or approved uses.
Promotional Other companies’ promotional activities for their FDA-regulated products of other companies have been the subject of FTC enforcement actions brought under healthcare reimbursement laws and consumer protection statutes. FTC enforcement actions often result in consent decrees that constrain future actions. In addition, under the federal Lanham Act and similar state laws, competitors and others can initiate litigation relating to advertising claims.
Import and Export Requirements
To import a device, the importer must file an entry notice and bond with the United States Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). All devices are subject to FDA examination before release from CBP. Any article that appears to be in violation of the FDCAFederal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act (FDCA) may be refused admission and a notice of detention and hearing may be issued. If the FDA ultimately refuses admission, the CBP may issue a notice for redelivery and, if a company fails to redeliver the goods or otherwise satisfy CBP and the FDA with respect to their disposition, may assess liquidated damages for up to three times the value of the lot. The CBP also imposes its own regulatory requirements on the import of our products, including inspection and possible sanctions for noncompliance.
Products exported from the United States are subject to foreign countries’ import requirements and the exporting requirements of the FDA or European regulating bodies, as applicable. In particular, international sales of medical devices manufactured in the United States that are not approved or cleared by the FDA for use in the United States, or are banned or deviate from lawful performance standards, are subject to FDA export requirements.
Foreign countries often require, among other things, a CFGCertificate of Foreign Government (CFG) for export. To obtain a CFG, the device manufacturer must apply to the FDA. The FDA certifies that the product has been granted clearance or approval in the United States and that the manufacturing facilities were in compliance with the FDA’s QSR regulations at the time of the last FDA inspection.
Foreign Regulation Regarding Clearance and Approval
Many foreign countries in which we market or may market our products have regulatory bodies and restrictions similar to those of the FDA. International sales are subject to foreign government regulation, the requirements of which vary substantially from country to country. The time required to obtain approval by a foreign country may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA clearance and the requirements may differ.
In particular, marketing of medical devices in the European Union (EU) is subject to compliance with the Medical Devices Directive 93/92/EEC (MDD). A medical device may be placed on the market within the EU only if it conforms to certain “essential requirements” and bears the CE Mark. The most fundamental and essential requirement is that a medical device must be designed and manufactured in such a way that it will not compromise the clinical condition or safety of patients, or the safety and health of users and others. In addition, the device must achieve the essential performance(s) intended by the manufacturer and be designed, manufactured and packaged in a suitable manner.
Manufacturers must demonstrate that their devices conform to the relevant essential requirements through a conformity assessment procedure. The nature of the assessment depends upon the classification of the device. The classification rules are mainly based on three criteria: the length of time the device is in contact with the body, the degree of invasiveness and the extent to which the device affects the anatomy. Conformity assessment procedures for all but the lowest risk classification of device involve a notified body. Notified bodies are often private entities and are authorized or licensed to perform such assessments by government authorities. Manufacturers usually have some flexibility to select a notified body for the conformity assessment procedures for a particular class of device and to reflect their circumstances, e.g., the likelihood that the manufacturer will make frequent modifications to its products. Conformity assessment procedures require an assessment of available clinical evidence, literature data for the product and post-market experience in respect of similar products already marketed. Notified bodies also may review the manufacturer’s quality systems. If satisfied that the product conforms to the relevant essential requirements, the notified body issues a certificate of conformity, which the manufacturer uses as a basis for its own declaration of conformity and application of the CE Mark. Application of the CE Mark allows the general commercializing of a product in the EU. The product can also be subjected to local registration requirements depending on the country. We maintain CE Marking on all of our products that require such markings as well as local registrations as required.
In May 2017, the EU adopted a new Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), which will repeal and replace the MDD with effect from May 26, 2020. The MDR clearly envisages, among other things, stricter controls of medical devices, including strengthening of the conformity assessment procedures, increased expectations with respect to clinical data for devices and pre-market regulatory review of high-risk devices. The MDR also envisages greater control over notified bodies and their standards, increased transparency, more robust device vigilance requirements and clarification of the rules for clinical investigations. Under transitional provisions, medical devices with notified body certificates issued under the MDD prior to May 26, 2020 may continue to be placed on the market for the remaining validity of the certificate, until May 27, 2024 at the latest. After the expiry of any applicable transitional period, only devices that have been CE marked under the MDR may be placed on the market in the EU.
Other U.S. and Foreign Regulation
We and our OEM partners also must comply with numerous federal, state and local laws relating to matters such as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and hazardous substance disposal. We cannot be sure that we will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations in the future or that these laws or regulations will not hurt our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unanticipated changes in existing regulatory requirements or adoption of new requirements could hurt our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Physician Payment Sunshine Act (Sunshine Act), which was enacted by Congress as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, requires medical device companies to track and publicly report, with limited exceptions, all payments and transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals in the U.S. Implementing regulations for these tracking and reporting obligations were finalized in 2013, and companies are now required to track payments made and to report such payments to the government by March 31 of each year.
Medical Device Tax
In March 2010, the U.S. Congress adopted and President Obama signed into law comprehensive health care reform legislation. Among other initiatives, commencing January 1, 2013, these laws imposed significant new taxes on medical device makers in the form of a 2.3% excise tax on U.S. medical device sales, with certain exemptions. For the year ended January 2, 2016, we recorded $6.9 million in medical device taxes that were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In December 2015, the medical device tax was temporarily suspended for two years beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2017. On January 22, 2018, an additional two-year temporary suspension of the medical device tax was enacted beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2019. Such tax may be reimposed on medical device makers beginning on January 1, 2020 if such suspension is not re-extended or the medical device tax is not permanently repealed.
Conflict Minerals and Supply Chain
We are subject to certain SEC rules adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act concerning “conflict minerals” (generally tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) and, From January 1, 2021, similar rules are under consideration byin force in the European Union (EU).EU. Certain of these conflict minerals are used in the manufacture of our products. Although the U.S. rules are being challenged in court, in their present form they require us to investigate the source of any conflict minerals necessary to the production or functionality of our products. If any such conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries (the DRC region), we must undertake comprehensive due diligence to determine whether such minerals financed or benefited armed groups in the DRC region. Since our supply chain is complex, our ongoing compliance with these rules could affect the pricing, sourcing and availability of conflict minerals used in the manufacture of our products.
We are also subject to disclosure requirements regarding abusive labor practices in portions of our supply chain under the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act.
Environmental
Our manufacturing processes involve the use, generation and disposal of solid wastes, hazardous materials and hazardous wastes, including silicone adhesives, solder and solder paste, sealants, epoxies and various solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone and isopropyl alcohol. As such, we are subject to stringent federal, state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes. Products that we sell in Europe are subject to regulation in EU markets under the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). RoHS prohibits companies from selling products which contain certain hazardous materials, including lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers, in EU member states. In addition, the EU’s Regulation-Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals Directive also restricts substances of very high concern in products.
Future environmental laws may require us to alter our manufacturing processes, thereby increasing our manufacturing costs. We believe that our products and manufacturing processes at our facilities comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and worker health and safety laws; however, the risk of environmental liabilities cannot be completely eliminated.
Health Care Fraud and Abuse
In the U.S., there are federal and state anti-kickback laws that generally prohibit the payment or receipt of kickbacks, bribes or other remuneration in exchange for the referral of patients or other health-related business. For example, the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute (42 U.S.C. § 1320a-7b(b)) prohibits anyone from, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any bribe, kickback or other remuneration intended to induce the referral of patients for, or the purchase, order or recommendation of, health care products and services reimbursed by a federal health care program, including Medicare and Medicaid. Recognizing that the federal anti-kickback law is broad and potentially applicable to many commonplace arrangements, Congress and the Office of Inspector General (OIG) within the Department of Health and Human Services (OIG) have created statutory “exceptions” and regulatory “safe harbors”. Exceptions and safe harbors exist for a number of arrangements relevant to our business, including, among other things, payments to bona fide employees, certain discount and rebate arrangements, and certain payment arrangements involving GPOs. Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs).
Although an arrangement that fits into one or more of these exceptions or safe harbors is immune from prosecution, arrangements that do not fit squarely within an exception or safe harbor do not necessarily violate the law, but the OIG or other government enforcement authorities may examine the practice to determine whether it involves the sorts of abuses that the statute was designed to combat. Violations of this federal law can result in significant penalties, including imprisonment, monetary fines and assessments, and exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health care programs. Exclusion of a manufacturer, like us, would preclude any federal health care program from paying for its products. In addition to the federal anti-kickback law, many states have their own laws that are analogous to the federal anti-kickback law, but may apply regardless of whether any federal or state health care program business is involved. Federal and state anti-kickback laws may affect our sales, marketing and promotional activities, educational programs, pricing and discount practices and policies, and relationships with health care providers by limiting the kinds of arrangements we may have with hospitals, alternate care market providers, GPOs, physicians, payers and others in a position to purchase or recommend our products.
Federal and state false claims laws prohibit anyone from presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment to third-party payers that are false or fraudulent. For example, the Federal Civil False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq.) imposes liability on any person or entity who, among other things, knowingly and willfully presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal health care program, including Medicaid and Medicare. Some suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as “qui tam” actions, can be brought by a “whistleblower” or “relator” on behalf of the government and such individuals may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. Manufacturers, like us, can be held liable under false claims laws, even if they do not submit claims to the government, where they are found to have caused submission of false claims by, among other things, providing incorrect coding or billing advice about their products to customers that file claims, or by engaging in kickback arrangements or off-label promotion with customers that file claims. A number of states also have false claims laws, and some of these laws may apply to claims for items or services reimbursed under Medicaid and/or commercial insurance. Sanctions under these federal and state fraud and abuse laws may include civil monetary penalties and criminal fines, exclusion from government health care programs and imprisonment.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) created new federal crimes, including health care fraud and false statements related to health care matters. The health care fraud statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program, including those offered by private payers. The
false statements statute prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. A violation of either statute is a felony and may result in fines, imprisonment and other significant penalties.
The Physician Payment Sunshine Act (Sunshine Act), which was enacted by Congress as part of the ACA, requires medical device companies to track and publicly report, with limited exceptions, all payments and transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals in the U.S. Companies are required to track payments made and to report such payments to the government by March 31 of each year. Several states have similar requirements. Beginning in 2022, the reporting requirement also applies to advance practice nurses and physician assistants.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.
Due to the breadth of some of these laws, it is possible that some of our current or future practices might be challenged under one or more of these laws. In addition, there can be no assurance that we would not be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws. Evolving interpretations of current laws or the adoption of new federal or state laws or regulations could adversely affect many of the arrangements we have with customers and physicians. Therefore, our risk of being found in violation of these laws is increased by the fact that some of these laws are broad and open to interpretation.
Data Privacy and SecurityProtection of Health and Other Personal Information
NumerousData protection legislation is becoming increasingly common in the United States at both the federal and state level. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), which became effective on January 1, 2020, requires us to make disclosures to consumers about our data collection, use and sharing practices, allows consumers to opt out of certain data sharing with third parties, and provides a cause of action for data breaches. The CCPA, together with the Consumer Privacy Rights Act, which will be effective beginning January 1, 2023, is the most comprehensive data privacy law in the United States, and could be the precursor to other similar legislation in other states or at the federal level. Internationally, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in May 2018 within the European Economic Area (EEA) and many EEA jurisdictions. Other jurisdictions outside of the EEA have also adopted their own data privacy and protection laws. We have implemented, and continue to implement, procedures and processes to comply with these regulations and, as international data privacy and protection laws continue to evolve, and as new regulations, interpretive guidance and enforcement information become available, we may incur incremental costs to modify our business practices to comply with these requirements. In addition, our internal control policies and procedures may not always protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents.
In addition, numerous federal, state and international laws and regulations, including HIPAA and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),GDPR, govern the collection, use and disclosure of patient-identifiable, protected health information (PHI) and other personal information (PHI).information. In the U.S., HIPAA applies to covered entities, which include most healthcare facilities that purchase and use our products, and their business associates. The HIPAA Privacy Rule restricts the use and disclosure of PHI, and requires covered entities and their business associates to safeguard that information and to provide certain rights to individuals with respect to that information. The HIPAA Security Rule establishes detailed requirements for safeguarding PHI transmitted or stored electronically.
Although we are not a covered entity, we are sometimes deemed by our customers to be a business associate of covered entities due to activities that we perform for or on behalf of covered entities, such as training customers on the use of our products or investigating product performance. As business associates, we are subject to many of the requirements of HIPAA and could be directly subject to HIPAA civil and criminal enforcement and the associated penalties for violation of the Privacy, Security and Breach Notification Rules.
The HIPAA standards also apply to the use and disclosure of PHI for research and generally require the covered entity performing the research to obtain the written authorization of the research subject (or an appropriate waiver) before providing that subject’s PHI to sponsors like us for purposes related to the research. These covered entities also typically impose contractual limitations on our use and disclosure of the PHI they disclose to us. We may be required to make costly system modifications to comply with the privacy and security requirements that will be imposed on us and our failure to comply may result in liability and adversely affect our business.
Numerous other federal and state laws protect the confidentiality of PHI, including state medical privacy laws and federal and state consumer protection laws. These various laws in many cases are not preempted by the HIPAA rules and may be subject to varying interpretations by the courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us and our customers and potentially exposing us to additional expense, adverse publicity and liability. Other countries also have, or are developing, laws governing the collection, use and transmission of health information, and these laws could create liability for us or increase our cost of doing business.
Third-Party Reimbursement
Health care providers, including hospitals, that purchase our products generally rely on third-party payers, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs and private payers, including indemnity insurers and managed care plans, to cover and reimburse all or part of the cost of the products and the procedures in which they are used. As a result, demand for our products is dependent in part on the coverage and reimbursement policies of these payers. No uniform coverage or reimbursement policy for medical technology exists among all third-party payers, and coverage and reimbursement can differ significantly from payer to payer.
The Centers for Medicare and& Medicaid Services (CMS) is the federal agency responsible for administering the Medicare program. Along with its contractors, CMS establishes the coverage and reimbursement policies for the Medicare program. Because a large percentage of our products are used in the treatment of elderly or disabled individuals who are Medicare beneficiaries, Medicare’s coverage and reimbursement policies are particularly significant to our business. In addition, private payers often follow the coverage and reimbursement policies of Medicare.
In general, Medicare will cover a medical product or procedure when the product or procedure is included within a statutory benefit category and is reasonable and necessary for the diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury, or to improve the functioning of a malformed body part. Even if the medical
product or procedure is considered medically necessary and coverage is available, Medicare may place restrictions on the circumstances where it provides coverage. For example, several Medicare local contractors have issued policies that restrict coverage for pulse oximetry in hospital inpatient and outpatient settings to a limited number of conditions, including limiting coverage to patients who (i) exhibit signs of acute respiratory dysfunction, (ii) have chronic lung disease, severe cardiopulmonary disease or neuromuscular disease involving the muscles of respiration, (iii) are under treatment with a medication with known pulmonary toxicity, or (iv) have sustained multiple trauma or complaints of acute chest pain.
Reimbursement for our products may vary not only by the type of payer involved but also based upon the setting in which the product is furnished and utilized. For example, Medicare payment may be made, in appropriate cases, for patient stays in the hospital inpatient and in outpatient settings involving the use of our products. Medicare generally reimburses hospitals based upon prospectively determined amounts. For hospital inpatient stays, the prospective payment generally is determined by the patient’s condition and other patient data and procedures performed during the inpatient stay, using a classification system known as Medicare Severity Diagnosis-Related Groups (MS-DRGs). Prospective rates are adjusted for, among other things, regional differences, co-morbidity and complications. Hospitals generally do not receive separate Medicare reimbursement for the specific costs of purchasing our products for use in the inpatient setting. Rather, Medicare reimbursement for these costs is deemed to be included within the prospective payments made to hospitals for the inpatient services in which the products are utilized.
In contrast, some differences may be seen in the reimbursement for use of our products in hospital outpatient departments. In this setting, Medicare payments also are generally made under a prospective payment system based on the ambulatory payment classifications (APCs) under which individual items and procedures are categorized. Hospitals receive the applicable APC payment rate for the procedure regardless of the actual cost for such treatment. Some outpatient services such as oximetry services do not receive separate reimbursement. Rather, their reimbursement is deemed packaged into the APC for an associated procedure and the payment for that APC does not vary whether or not the packaged procedure is performed. Some procedures also are paid through Compositecomposite APCs, which are APCs that establish a payment rate that applies when a specific combination of services is provided.
Reimbursement for certain pulse oximetry monitoring services, including those using our products, may be separately payable when they are the only service provided to the patient on that day, packaged if provided with certain critical care services, or reimbursed through a composite APC when provided in connection with certain other services.
Because payments through the Prospective Payment System in both the hospital inpatient and outpatient settings are based on predetermined rates and may be less than a hospital’s actual costs in furnishing care, hospitals have incentives to lower their operating costs by utilizing products that will reduce the length of inpatient stays, decrease labor or otherwise lower their costs. If hospitals cannot obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement for our products, or the procedures in which they are used, we cannot be certain that they will purchase our products, despite the clinical benefits and opportunity for cost savings that we believe can be derived from their use.
Our success with rainbow SET™® technologies in U.S. settings of care with reimbursable monitoring procedures, such as hospital emergency departments, hospital procedure labs, and the physician officeoffices may largely depend on the ability of providers to receive reimbursement for such procedures. While private insurance payers generallyoften follow Medicare codingcoverage and payment, we cannot be certain of this and, in many cases, cannot control the coverage or payment rates that private insurance payers put in place. In addition, the potential amendment, repeal or judicial invalidation of the ACA, as well asand/or the enactment of other legislation or regulations, could affect future payment for services involving the use of our products.
Our success in non-U.S. markets depends largely upon the availability of coverage and reimbursement from the third-party payers through which health care providers are paid in those markets. Health care payment systems in non-U.S. markets vary significantly by country, and include single-payer government managed systems, as well as systems in which private payers and government managed systems exist side-by-side. Our ability to achieve market acceptance or significant sales volume in international markets we enter will be dependent in large part on the availability of reimbursement for procedures performed using our products under health care payment systems in such markets.
Other U.S. and Foreign Regulation
We and our OEM partners also must comply with numerous federal, state and local laws, as well as laws in other jurisdictions, relating to matters such as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and hazardous substance disposal. We cannot be sure that we will not be required to incur significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations in the future or that these laws or regulations will not hurt our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unanticipated changes in existing regulatory requirements or adoption of new requirements could hurt our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Markets
Competitive Conditions
The medical device industry is highly competitive and many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. While we regard any company that sells pulse oximeters as a potential customer, we also recognize that the companies selling pulse oximeters on an OEM basis and/or pulse oximetry sensors are also potential competitors. Our primary competitor, Medtronic plc (Medtronic, formerly Covidien Ltd.), currently holds a substantial share of the pulse oximetry market. In addition, large technology companies that have not historically operated in the healthcare or medical device space, such as Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and others, have developed or may develop products and technologies that may compete with our current or future products and technologies in the consumer and clinical marketplaces.
Medtronic sells its own brand of Nellcor pulse oximeters to end-users, sells pulse oximetry modules to other monitoring companies on an OEM basis, and licenses to certain OEMs the right to make their pulse oximetry platforms compatible with their sensors. We also face substantial competition from larger medical device companies, including companies
that develop products that compete with our proprietary Masimo SET®and our OEM partners. We believe that a number of companies have announced products that claim to offer motion-tolerant accuracy. Pursuant to the terms of the Third Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims effective September 2016, Medtronic will discontinue paying royalties to us after October 6, 2018. In addition, some of our patents have expired and otherothers will expire over time in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which they were issued.
We believe that the principal competitive factors in the market for pulse oximetry products include:
•accurate monitoring during both patient motion and low perfusion;
•ability to introduce other clinically beneficial measurements related to oxygenation and respiration, such as noninvasive and continuous oxygen reserve index and hemoglobin;
•competitive pricing, including bundling practices;pricing;
•brand recognition and perception of innovation abilities;
•sales and marketing capability;
•access to hospitals which are members of GPOs;
•access to integrated delivery networks;
•access to OEM partners; and
•patent protection.
SeasonalityMarket Demand
The healthcare business in the United States and overseas is typically subject to quarterly fluctuations in hospital and other alternative care admissions. Historically, our third fiscal quarter revenues have generally experienced a sequential decline from our second fiscal quarter revenues. We believe this is primarily due to the summer vacation season during which people tend to avoid elective procedures. Another factor affecting the seasonality of our quarterly revenues is the traditional “flu season” that often increases hospital and acute care facility admissions in the first and fourth calendar quarters. Because our non-sales variable operating expenses often do not fluctuate in the same manner as our quarterly product sales, this may cause fluctuations in our quarterly operating income that are disproportionate to fluctuations in our quarterly revenue.
Sales and Marketing
We have sales and marketing employees in the U.S. and abroad. We expect to moderately increase our worldwide sales and sales support organizations as we continue to expand our presence throughout both the U.S. and the world, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Canada and Australia. We currently sell all of our medical products both directly to hospitals and the alternate care market via our sales force and certain distributors.various distributors in the U.S. and around the world, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America, Canada and Australia. We sell our non-medical/consumer products through e-commerce Internet sites such as www.masimopersonalhealth.com and www.amazon.com.
TheOur sales and marketing strategy for pulse oximetry has been, and will continue to be, focused on building end-user awareness of the clinical and cost-saving benefits of our technologies. Our sales representatives’ primary focus of our sales representatives is to facilitate the conversion of competitor accounts to our Masimo SET® pulse oximetry and rainbow SET™® Pulse CO-Oximetry® products, to expand the use of Masimo SET® and Patient SafetyNet™ on the general floor and to create and expand the use of rainbow® measurements in both critical care and non-critical care areas. In addition to sales representatives, we employ clinical specialists to work with our sales representatives to educate end-users on the benefits of Masimo SET® and assist with the introduction and implementation of our technology and products to their sites. Our sales and marketing strategy for pulse oximetry has been and will continue to be focused on building end-user awareness of the clinical and cost-saving benefits of our Masimo SET® platform. More recently, we have expanded this communication and educational role to include our Masimo rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry and rainbow Acoustic Monitoring® products, including hemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, PVi®, acoustic respiration rate and Halo Index™.
For the year ended December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, two just-in-time distributors, Owens & MinorMedline Industries and Cardinal Health, represented approximately 11.2%14.6% and 12.7%10.2%, respectively, of our total revenue. These were the only two customers that represented 10% or more of our revenue for the year ended December 30, 2017.January 2, 2021. Importantly, these two distributors take and fulfill orders from our
direct customers, many of which have signed long-term sensor purchase agreements with us. As a result, in the eventIf a specific just-in-time distributor is unable to fulfill these orders, the orders would be redirected to other distributors or fulfilled directly by us.
Additionally, we sell certain of our products through our OEM partners who both incorporate our boardstechnologies into their monitors and sometimes resell our sensors to their customers’ installed base of Masimo SET® products.base. Our OEM agreements allow us to expand the availability of Masimo SET®our technologies through the sales and distribution channels of each OEM partner. To facilitate clinician awareness
of Masimo SET® installations, all oftechnologies, our OEM partners have generally agreed to place the applicable Masimo SET® logotrademark prominently on their instruments.
In order to facilitate our U.S. direct sales to hospitals, we have signed contracts with what we believe to be the five largest national GPOs in the U.S., based on the total volume of negotiated purchases. In return for the GPOs putting our products on contract, we have agreed to pay the GPOs a percentage of our revenue from their member hospitals. In 20172021 and 2016,2020, revenue from the sale of our pulse oximetry products to hospitals that are associated with GPOs amounted to $417.2$643.1 million and $375.0$564.0 million, respectively.
Our marketing efforts are designed to build end-user awareness through digital and print advertising, direct mail and trade shows. In addition, we distribute published clinical studies, provide product education for doctors, nurses, biomedical engineers and respiratory therapists and assist with product evaluations.
Resources
Intellectual Property
We believe that in order to maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace, we must develop and maintain protection of the proprietary aspects of our technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright and other intellectual property rights and measures to protect our intellectual property.
We have developed a patent portfolio internally, and, to a lesser extent, through acquisitions and licensing, that covers many aspects of our product offerings. As of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, we had 640approximately 800 issued patents and 333approximately 500 pending applications in the U.S., Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and other countries throughout the world. Our patents expire in accordance with the laws of the particular jurisdciationjurisdiction in which they were issued, which sometimes change. Additionally, as of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, we owned 77approximately 100 U.S. registered trademarks and 241approximately 500 foreign registered trademarks, as well as trade names that we use in conjunction with the sale of our products. Our trademarks are perpetually renewable.
Under the Cross-Licensing Agreement, we and Cercacor have agreed to allocate proprietary ownership of technology developed based on the functionality of the technology. We will have proprietary ownership, including ownership of all patents, copyrights and trade secrets, of all technology related to the noninvasive monitoring of vital signs measurements, and Cercacor will have proprietary ownership of all technology related to the noninvasive monitoring of non-vital signs measurements. We also rely upon trade secrets, continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position.
We seek to protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how, in part, with confidentiality agreements with consultants, vendors and employees, although we cannot be certain that the agreements will not be breached or that we will have adequate remedies for any breach.
Research and Product Development
We believe that ongoing research and development efforts are essential to our success. Our research and development efforts focus primarily on continuing to enhance our technical expertise in pulse oximetry, expanding our noninvasive monitoring of other measurements and developing remote alarm and monitoring solutions.
Although we and Cercacor each have separate research and development projects, we collaborate with Cercacor on multiple research and development activities related to rainbow® technology and other technologies. Under the Cross-Licensing Agreement,Agreement, the parties have agreed to allocate proprietary ownership of technology developed by either party based on the functionality of the technology. We will have proprietary rights to all technology related to the noninvasive measurement of vital signs measurements, and Cercacor will have proprietary ownership of all technology related to the noninvasive monitoring of non-vital signs measurements.
Our total research and development expenditures for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were $62.0 million and $59.4 million, respectively. We expect our research and development expenses to increase moderately in fiscal year 2018 and beyond as we expand our research and development staff, enhance our existing products and technologies and develop new products for market introduction.
Manufacturing
Our strategy is to manufacture products in-house when it is efficient and cost-effective for us to do so. We currently manufacture our bedside and handheld pulse oximeters, our full line of disposable and reusable sensors and most of our patient cables in-house or through captive contract maquiladora operations. We maintain an approximate 70,700 square foot manufacturing facility in Irvine, California, and two separate manufacturing facilities in Mexicali and San Luis Rio Colorado,
Mexico that have combined square footage of approximately 159,000333,400 square feet, allfeet. All three of whichthese facilities are International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 13485:20122016 certified. We also maintain an approximate 90,00086,500 square foot facility in Hudson, New Hampshire, a portion of which is used to manufacture advanced light emitting diodes and other advanced component-level technologies. In addition, we maintain an ISO 13485:2012 certified facility approximating 16,400 square feet in Danderyd, Sweden, a portion of which is used to manufacture ultra-compact mainstream and sidestream capnography and gas monitoring technologies.
We will continue to utilize third-party contract manufacturers for products and subassemblies that can be more efficiently manufactured by these parties, such as our circuit boards. We monitor our third-party manufacturers and perform inspections and product tests at various steps in the manufacturing cycle to ensure compliance with our specifications. We also do full functional testing of our circuit boards.
For raw materials, we and our contract manufacturers rely on sole source suppliers for some components, including digital signal processor chips and analog-to-digital converter chips. We and our contract manufacturers have taken steps to minimize the impact of a shortage or stoppage of shipments of digital signal processor chips or analog to digital converter chips, including maintaining a safety stock of inventory and designing software that may be easily ported to another digital signal processor chip. We believe that our sources of supply for components and raw materials are adequate. In the event of a delay or disruption in the supply of sole source components, we believe that we and our contract manufacturers will be able to locate additional sources of these sole source components on commercially reasonable terms and without experiencing material disruption in our business or operations.
We have agreements with certain major suppliers and each agreement provides for varying terms with respect to contract expiration, termination and pricing. Most of these agreements allow for termination upon specified notice, ranging from four to twelve months, to the non-terminating party. Certain of these agreements with our major suppliers allow for pricing adjustments, each agreement provides for annual pricing negotiation, and one agreement also guarantees us the most favorable pricing offered by the supplier to any of its other customers.

Risks Related to Our Revenues
We currently derive the majority of our revenue from our Masimo SET® platform, Masimo rainbow SET® platform and related products. If these technologies and related products do not continue to achieve market acceptance, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.
We are highly dependent upon the continued success and market acceptance of our proprietary Masimo SET® technology and Masimo rainbow SET® technologies that servesserve as the basis of our primary product offerings. Continued market acceptance of products incorporating Masimo SET®these technologies will depend upon us continuing to provide evidence to the medical community that our products are cost-effective and offer significantly improved performance compared to conventional pulse oximeters. Health careHealthcare providers that currently have significant investments in competitive pulse oximetry products may be reluctant to purchase our products. If hospitals and other health carehealthcare providers do not believe our Masimo SET® platform is and Masimo rainbow SET® platforms are cost-effective, safe or more accurate or reliable than competitive pulse oximetry products, they may not buy our products in sufficient quantities to enable us to generate revenue growth from the sale of these products. In addition, allegations regarding the safety and effectiveness of our products, whether or not substantiated, may impair or impede the acceptance of our products. If we are unable to achieve additional market acceptance of our core technology or products incorporating Masimo SET®, we will not generate significant revenue growth from the sale of our products, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some of our products are in development or have been recently introduced into the market and may not achieve market acceptance, which could limit our growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Products that we have introduced into the market in recent years may not be accepted in the market. In general,Many of our recent noninvasive measurement technologies are considered disruptive. These recent technologies have performance levels that we believe are acceptable for many clinical environments but may be insufficient in others. In addition, these technologies may perform better in some patients and settings than others. Over time, we hope to continue to improve the performance of these technologies and educate the clinical community on how to properly evaluate them. If we are successful in these endeavors, we expect these technologies will become more useful in more environments and will become more widely adopted. While this is the adoption pattern experienced historically with other new noninvasive measurements, such as regional oximetry,Our product portfolio continues to expand, and we are unableinvesting significant resources to guarantee that such adoption pattern will apply to our recententer into, and future technologies.
Even if our customers recognize the benefits of our products, we cannot assure you that our customers will purchase them in quantities sufficientsome cases create, new markets for us to be profitable or successful.these products. We are continuing to invest in significant sales and marketing resources to achieve market acceptance of these products, with no assurance of success.but are unable to guarantee that our technologies will achieve general market acceptance.
The degree of market acceptance of these products will depend on a number of factors, including:including but not limited to:
•perceived clinical benefits from our products;
•perceived cost effectiveness of our products;
•perceived safety and effectiveness of our products;
•reimbursement available through Centers for Medicaregovernment and Medicaid Services (CMS)private healthcare programs for using some of our products; and
•introduction and acceptance of competing products or technologies.
If our products do not gain market acceptance or if our customers prefer our competitors’ products, our potential revenue growth would be limited, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to commercialize new products, new or improved technologies and additional applications for Masimo SET® and our licensed rainbow® technology is limited to certain markets by our Cross-Licensing Agreement with Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. (Cercacor), which may impair our growth and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We areSince 1998, we have been a party to a cross-licensing agreement with Cercacor, which has been(as amended, several times, most recently in an Amended and Restated Cross-Licensing Agreement, effective January 1, 2007 (the Cross-Licensing Agreement). Under the Cross-Licensing Agreement,Agreement), under which we granted Cercacor:
| |
• | an exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license, with sublicense rights, to use all Masimo SET® technology owned by us, including all improvements on this technology, for the monitoring of non-vital signs parameters and to develop and sell devices incorporating Masimo SET® for monitoring non-vital signs parameters in any product market in which a product is intended to be used by a patient or pharmacist rather than by a professional medical caregiver, which we refer to as the Cercacor Market; and
|
| |
• | a non-exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license, with sublicense rights, to use all Masimo SET® technology owned by us for measurement of vital signs in the Cercacor Market.
|
•an exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license, with sublicense rights, to use all Masimo SET® technology owned by us, including all improvements to this technology, for the monitoring of non-vital signs parameters and to develop and sell devices incorporating Masimo SET® for monitoring non-vital signs parameters in any product market in which a product is intended to be used by a patient or pharmacist rather than by a professional medical caregiver, which we refer to as the “Cercacor Market”; and
•a non-exclusive, perpetual and worldwide license, with sublicense rights, to use all Masimo SET® technology owned by us for measurement of vital signs in the “Cercacor Market”.
Non-vital signs measurements consist of body fluid constituents other than vital signs measurements, including, but not limited to, carbon monoxide, methemoglobin, blood glucose, hemoglobin and bilirubin. Under the Cross-Licensing Agreement, we are only permitted to sell devices utilizing Masimo SET® for the monitoring of non-vital signs parameters in markets where the product is intended to be used by a professional medical caregiver, including, but not limited to, hospital caregivers and alternate care facility caregivers, rather than by a patient or pharmacist, which we refer to as the Masimo Market. “Masimo Market”.
Accordingly, our ability to commercialize new products, new or improved technologies and additional applications for Masimo SET® is limited. In particular, our inability to expand beyond the Masimo Market“Masimo Market” may limit our ability to maintain or increase our revenue and impair our growth.
Pursuant to the Cross-Licensing Agreement, we have licensed from Cercacor the right to make and distribute products in the Masimo Market“Masimo Market” that utilize rainbow® technology for certain noninvasive measurements. As a result, the opportunity to expand the market for our products incorporating rainbow® technology is also limited, which could limit our ability to maintain or increase our revenue and impair our growth.
We face competition from other companies, many of which have substantially greater resources than we do. If we do not successfully develop and commercialize enhanced or new products that remain competitive with products or alternative technologies developed by others, we could lose revenue opportunities and customers, and our ability to grow our business would be impaired, adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
The medical device industry is intensely competitive and is significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. A number of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger product portfolios, larger customer bases, larger sales forces and greater geographic presence, have established stronger reputations with specific customers, and have built relationships with Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs)and other hospital purchasing groups (collectively, GPOs) that may be more effective than ours. Our Masimo SET® platform faces additional competition from companies developing products for use with third-party monitoring systems, as well as from companies that currently market their own pulse oximetry monitors. In addition, competitors with larger product portfolios than ours mayare engaging in bundling practices, whereby they offer increased discounts to hospitals that purchase their requirements for a variety of different products from the competitor, including products that we do not offer.offer, effectively pricing their competing products at a loss.
Rapid product development andContinuing technological advances and new product introductions within the medical device industry place our products at risk of obsolescence. Our long-term success depends upon the development and successful commercialization of new products, new or improved technologies and additional applications for Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology.our existing technologies. The research and development process is time-consuming and costly and may not result in products or applications that we can successfully commercialize. In particular, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products for applications other than arterial blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring, such as for respiration rate, hemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin and methemoglobin monitoring. In addition, we may not be able to develop and successfully commercialize new products and technologies that we acquire.
If we do not successfully adapt our products and applications both within and outside these measurements, we could lose revenue opportunities and customers. Furthermore, one or more of our competitors may develop products that are substantially equivalent to those of our U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)products that are cleared products,or approved for use, or those of our original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners, in which case a competitor of ours may use our products or those of our OEM partners as predicate devices to more quickly obtain FDAregulatory clearance or approval of their competing products. Competition could result in pressure from our customers to reduce the price of our products and incould cause them to place fewer orders for our products, which could, in turn, cause a reduction in our revenues and product gross margins, thereby adversely impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some of the world’s largest technology companies that have not historically operated in the healthcare or medical device space, such as Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and others, have developed or may develop products and technologies that may compete with our current or future products and technologies. For example, in September 2020, Apple, Inc. announced that its Apple Watch Series 6 includes a pulse oximetry monitoring feature, which may compete with certain of our existing products and products in development, including the consumer versions of our iSpO2® and MightySat® pulse oximeters. In addition, in September 2021, Apple, Inc. announced that its Apple Watch Series 7 includes a blood oxygen level monitoring feature and a sleep tracking function, both of which compete with our existing products.These companies have substantially greater capital, research and development, and sales resources than we have. To effectively compete, we may need to expand our product offerings and distribution channels, which in the interim could increase our research and development costs and decrease our operating margins, thereby adversely impacting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on our domestic and international OEM partners for a portion of our revenue. If they do not devote sufficient resources to the promotion of products that use Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology,our technologies, our business would be harmed.
We are, and will continue to be, dependent upon our domestic and international OEM partners for a portion of our revenue through their marketing, selling and distribution of certain of their products that incorporate Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology.our technologies. Although we expect that our OEM partners will accept and actively market, sell and distribute products that incorporate licensed rainbow® technology,our technologies, they may not elect, and have no contractual obligation, to do so. Because products that incorporate our technologies may represent a relatively small percentage of business for some of our OEM partners, they may have less incentive to promote these products over other products that do not incorporate these technologies.
In addition, some of our OEM partners offer products that compete with ours and also may be involved in intellectual property disputes with us. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that our OEM partners, or any company that may acquire any of our OEM partners, will vigorously promote products incorporating Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology.our technologies. The failure of our OEM partners to successfully market, sell or distribute products incorporating theseour technologies, the termination of OEM agreements, the loss of OEM partners or the inability to enter into future OEM partnership agreements would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we fail to maintain or develop relationships with GPOs, sales of our products would decline.
Our ability to sell our products to U.S. hospitals depends, in part, on our relationships with GPOs. Many existing and potential customers for our products are members of GPOs. GPOs negotiate beneficial pricing arrangements and contracts which are sometimes exclusive, with medical supply manufacturers and distributors.distributors that may include provisions for sole sourcing and bundling, which generally reduce the choices available to member hospitals.
These negotiated prices are made available to a GPO’s affiliated hospitals and other members. If we are not one of the providers selected by a GPO, the GPO’s affiliated hospitals and other members may be less likely or unlikely to purchase our products. If a GPO has negotiated a strict sole source, market share compliance or bundling contract for another manufacturer’s products, we may be prohibited from making sales to members of such GPO for the duration of such contractual arrangement. For the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, shipmentsShipments of our pulse oximetry products to customers that are members of GPOs represented approximately $417.2 million, $375.0 million and $337.4 million, respectively, ofrepresent approximately 90% of our revenue from sales to U.S. hospitals.product sales. Our failure to renew our contracts with GPOs may cause us to lose market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we are unable to develop new relationships with GPOs, our competitive position would likely suffer and our opportunities to grow our revenues and business would be harmed.
Certain GPOs are creating, coordinating and facilitating regional purchasing coalition (RPC) supply chain networks that include anti-competitive practices such as sole sourcing and bundling. These RPCs circumvent and potentially violate rules of conduct for GPOs and have the effect of reducing product purchasing decisions available to the hospitals that belong to these regional organizations. If the GPOs and RPCs are permitted to continue practices that limit, reduce or eliminate competition, we could lose customers who are no longer able to choose to purchase our products, resulting in lower sales that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Inadequate levels of coverage or reimbursement from governmental or other third-party payers for our products, or for procedures using our products, may cause our revenue to decline.decline or prevent us from realizing revenues from future products.
Sales of our products depend in part on the reimbursement and coverage policies of governmental and private health carehealthcare payers. The abilitylack of our health care provider customers, including hospitals, to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement for our products or the procedures in which our products are used may impactdeter customers from purchasing our customers’ purchasing decisions. Therefore, our customers’ inability to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement for our products or reimbursement for the procedures in which our products are used would have a material adverse effect on our business.
Third-party payers have adopted, and are continuing to adopt, health care policies intended to curb rising health care costs. These policies include, among others:
controls on reimbursement for health care services and price controls on medical products and services;
limitations on coverage and reimbursement for new medical technologies and procedures; and
the introduction of managed care and prospective payment systems in which health care providers contract to provide comprehensive health care for a fixed reimbursement amount per person or per procedure.products.
We cannot guarantee that governmental or third-party payers will reimburse or continue to reimburse,begin reimbursing a customer for the cost of our products or the procedures in which our products are used. In fact, some payers have indicated that they are not willing to reimburse for certain of our products or for certain of the procedures in which our products are used. For example, some insurance carriers have issued policies denying coverage for transcutaneous hemoglobin measurement on the grounds that the technology is investigational in the outpatient setting. Other payers are continuing to investigate our products to determine if they will provide reimbursement to our customers. for the use of such products.
These trends could lead to pressure to reduce prices for our current and future products, and couldhinder our ability to obtain market adoption, cause a decrease in the size of the market or a potentialpotentially increase in competition, thatany of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We do not control payorpayer decision-making with respect to coverage and payment levels for our products. Additionally, we expect many payorspayers to continue to explore cost-containment strategies (e.g., comparative and cost-effectiveness analyses, so-called ”pay-for-performance”“pay-for-performance” programs implemented by various public government health carehealthcare programs and private third-party payors,payers, and expansion of payment bundling initiatives, and other such methods that shift medical cost risk to providers) that may potentially impact coverage and/or payment levels for our current products or products we develop in the future.
Outside of the U.S., reimbursement systems vary by country. These systems are often subject to the same pressures to curb rising healthcare costs and control healthcare expenditures as those in the U.S. In addition, as economies of emerging markets develop, these countries may implement changes in their healthcare delivery and payment systems. If adequate levels of reimbursement from third-party payers outside of the U.S. are not obtained, sales of our products outside of the U.S. may be adversely affected.
Consolidation in the healthcare industry could lead to demands for price concessions or to the exclusion of existing market participants from certain markets, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Because healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade, numerous initiatives and reforms initiated by legislators, regulators and third-party payers to curb these costs have resulted in a consolidation trend in the healthcare industry to aggregate purchasing power. As the healthcare industry consolidates, competition to provide products and services to industry participants has become, and will continue to become, more intense. This has resulted in, and will likely continue to result in, greater pricing pressures and the exclusion of certain existing market participants from important market segments as GPOs, independent delivery networks and large single accounts continue to use their market power to consolidate purchasing decisions for hospitals.
We expect that market demand, government regulation, third-party coverage and reimbursement policies and societal pressures will continue to impact the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business consolidations and alliances among our customers, which may reduce competition, exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our customers may reduce, delay or cancel purchases due to a variety of factors, such as lower hospital census levels or third-party guidelines, or may require that we reduce the price of our products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our customers are facing growing levels of uncertainties, including variations in overall hospital census for paying patients and the impact of such census variations on hospital budgets. As a result, many hospitals are reevaluating their entire cost structure, including the amount of capital they allocate to medical device technologies and products. Such developmentsIn addition, certain of our products, including our rainbow® measurements such as carbon monoxide, methemoglobin and hemoglobin, that are sold with upfront license fees and more complex and expensive sensors, could also be impacted by hospital budget reductions. Any reductions in capital spending budgets by hospitals could have a significant negative impact on our OEM customers who, due to their traditionally larger capital equipment sales model, could see declines in purchases from their hospital customers. This, in turn, could reduce our board sales to our OEM customers.
In addition, certain of our products, including our rainbow® measurements such as carbon monoxide, methemoglobin and hemoglobin, that are sold with upfront license fees and more complex and expensive sensors, could also be impacted by hospital budget reductions.
StatesFrom time to time, states and other local regulatory authorities may issue guidelines regarding the appropriate scope and use of our products from time to time.products. For example, some of our noninvasive monitoring devices may be subject to authorization by individual states as part of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) scope of practice procedures. Although aA lack of inclusion into scope of practice procedures does not prohibit usage, it may limit adoption.adoption of our products.
Additionally, increases in demand resulting from global medical crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic may be short lived. If the increased demand results in a result of the continued consolidation in the health care industry, we may experience decreasing prices for our products due to the potential increased market pricing power of our health care provider customers. If these and other competitive forces drive down the pricestockpiling of our products and we are not able to counter that pressure with cost reductions toby, or excess inventory at, our existing productscustomers, future orders may be delayed or the introduction of new higher priced products, our product gross profit margins will decline. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.canceled until such on-hand inventory is consumed.
The loss of any large customer or distributor, or any cancellation or delay of a significant purchase by a large customer, could reduce our net sales and harm our operating results.
We have a concentration of OEM, distributiondistributor and direct customers. For example, sales to two just-in-time distributors each represented 10% or more of our product sales for the year ended January 1, 2022. We cannot provide any assuranceassurances that we will retain our current customers, groups of customers or distributors, or that we will be able to attract and retain additional customers in the future. If for any reason we were to lose our ability to sell to a specific group or class of customers or through a distributor, we could experience a significant reduction in revenue, which would adversely impact our operating results. For the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, we had sales through two just-in-time distributors, which in total represented approximately 23.9%, 26.8% and 26.3% of our total revenue, respectively.
Our sales could also be negatively affected by any rebates, discounts or fees that are required by, or offered to, GPOs and customers, including wholesalers or distributors. Additionally, some of our just-in-time distributors have been demanding higher fees, which we may be forcedobligated to pay in order to continue to offer products to our customers through these distributors or which may forceobligate us to distribute our products directly to our customers. The loss of any large customer or distributor, or an increase in distributor fees, or the risks associated with selling directly to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our royalty and other revenue currently consists primarily
Counterfeit Masimo sensors and third-party medical device reprocessors that reprocess ourreprocessed single-patient-use Masimo sensors may harm our reputation. Also, these imitationcounterfeit and third-party reprocessed sensors, as well as genuine Masimo reprocessed sensors, are sold at lower prices than new Masimo sensors and could cause our revenue to decline, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We believe that other organizationsentities are manufacturing and selling imitationcounterfeit Masimo sensors. In addition, certain medical device reprocessors have been collecting our used single-patient-use sensors from hospitals and then reprocessing, repackaging and reselling those sensors to hospitals. These imitationcounterfeit and third-party reprocessed sensors are sold at lower prices than new Masimo sensors.Our experience with both these imitationcounterfeit sensors and third-party reprocessed sensors is that they provide inferior performance, increased sensor consumption, reduced comfort and a number of monitoring problems. Notwithstanding these limitations, some of our customers have indicated a willingness to purchase some of their sensor requirements from these imitationcounterfeit manufacturers and third-party reprocessors in an effort to reduce their sensor costs.
These imitationcounterfeit and reprocessed sensors have led and may continue to lead to confusion with our genuine Masimo products;products, have reduced and may continue to reduce our revenue;revenue, and, in some cases, have harmed and may continue to harm our reputation if customers conclude incorrectly that these imitationcounterfeit or reprocessed sensors are original Masimo sensors.
In addition, we have expended a significant amount of time and expense investigating issues caused by imitationcounterfeit and reprocessed sensors, troubleshooting problems stemming from such sensors, educating customers about why imitationcounterfeit and reprocessed sensors do not perform to their expectations, enforcing our proprietary rights against the imitationcounterfeit manufacturers and reprocessors, and enforcing our contractual rights under our customer contracts.rights.
In response to these imitationcounterfeit sensors and third-party reprocessors, we offer to our customers our own Masimo reprocessed sensors, which we re-manufacture and test to ensure that they meet the same performance specifications as our new Masimo sensors. In addition, we have incorporated X-Cal® technology into certain products to ensure our customers get the performance they expect by using genuine Masimo sensors and that such sensors do not continue to be used beyond their useful life. We believe this technology will help ensure that hospitals, clinicians and, ultimately, their patients receive true Masimo measurement quality and performance, and will curtail some of the harm to us that results when customers experience performance and other problems with imitation and reprocessed sensors. However, some customers may object to the X-Cal® technology, potentially resulting in the loss of customers and revenues. In addition,
We also offer our own Masimo reprocessed sensors, which meet the same performance specifications as our new Masimo sensors, to our customers. Reprocessed sensors sold by us are generallyalso offered at a lower price and, therefore, may reduce certain customer demand for our new sensors. As a result, increased sales of genuineour own Masimo reprocessed sensors may result in lower revenues, which could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we may carry out strategic initiatives that may not be viewed favorably by our customers, or that could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results
We expect to continue to carry out strategic initiatives and investments that we believe are necessary to grow our revenues and expand our business, both in the U.S. and abroad. For example, we have continued to make incremental investments in additional sales force resources and invest in international expansion programs designed to increase our worldwide presence and take advantage of market expansion opportunities around the world. Although we believe these initiatives and investments continue to be in the long-term best interests of Masimo and our stockholders, there are no assurances that such initiatives and investments will yield favorable results for us. Accordingly, if these initiatives and investments are not viewed favorably by our customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
If the patents we own or license, or our other intellectual property rights, do not adequately protect our technologies, we may lose market share to our competitors and be unable to operate our business profitably.
Our success depends significantly on our ability to protect our rights to the technologies used in our products, including Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology. We rely onproducts. Our utilization of patent protection, trade secrets and a combination of copyright and trademark laws, as well as nondisclosure, confidentiality and other contractual arrangements, to protect our technology and rights. However, these legal meansintellectual property afford us only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or maintain any competitive advantage.
Certain of our patents related to our technologies have begun to expire. Upon the expiration of our issued or licensed patents, we generally lose some of our rights to exclude competitors from making, using, selling or importing products using the technology based on the expired patents.
Furthermore, in recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases and several laws have been enacted that, in certain situations, potentially narrow the scope of patent protection available and weaken the rights of patent owners. As a result, we believe large technology companies may be pursuing an “efficient infringement” strategy, having concluded that it is cheaper to infringe third party intellectual property rights than to acquire, license or otherwise respect them. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional patents on commercially desirable improvements, that such additional patents will adequately protect our innovations or offset the effect of expiring patents, or that competitors will not be able to design around our patents.
In addition, we cannot be assured that any of our pending patent applications will result in the issuance of a patent to us. The PTO may deny or require a significant narrowing of claims in our pending patent applications, and patents issued as a result of the pending patent applications, if any, may not provide us with significant commercial protection or may not be issued in a form that is advantageous to us. We could also incur substantial costs in proceedings before the PTO.
As part of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the Leahy-Smith Act), which was enacted in 2011, the PTO has introduced new post-grant review procedures that provide additional administrative pathways for third parties have challenged, and may continue to challenge, our issued patents.patents through procedures such as Inter-Partes Review (IPR) is one of these procedures.. In many IPR challenges, the PTO is cancelingU.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) cancels or significantly narrowingnarrows issued patent claims. Accordingly, even if a patent is granted by the PTO, there is a risk that it may not withstand an IPR challenge. IPR challenges could increase the uncertainties and costs associated with the maintenance, enforcement and defense of our issued and future patents and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, recent case law has increased uncertainty regarding the availability of patent protection for certain technologies and the costs associated with obtaining patent protection for those technologies.
Our patents related to Masimo SET® algorithm technology began to expire in 2011. Certain other patents related to our ProCal sensor technology began to expire in 2015. Additionally, upon the expiration of other issued or licensed patents, we may lose some of our rights to exclude competitors from making, using, selling or importing products using the technology based on the expired patents. While we seek to secure additional patents on commercially desirable improvements, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing such additional patents, or that such additional patents will adequately protect our innovations or offset the effect of expiring patents. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on several patent cases in recent years, either narrowing the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakening the rights of patent owners in certain situations.
In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents once obtained. Depending on decisions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts and the PTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that would weaken our ability to obtain new patents or to enforce patents that we might obtain in the future. Additionally, there is no assurance that competitors will not be able to design around our patents.
We also rely on contractual rights with the third parties that license technology to us to protect our rights in such licensed technology. In addition, we rely on unpatented proprietary technology. We cannot assure you that we can meaningfully protect all of our rights in ourutilize unpatented proprietary technology or that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary products or processes or otherwise gain access to our unpatented proprietary technology.
We seek to protect ourand know-how and other unpatented proprietary technology withoften rely on confidentiality agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, OEM partners, independent distributors and consultants.consultants to protect such unpatented proprietary technology and know-how. However, such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for our proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, or in the event that our competitors discover or independently develop similar or identical designs or other proprietary information. In addition, we
We rely on the use of registered and common law trademarks with respect to the brand names of some of our products. Common law trademarks provide less protection than registered trademarks. Loss of rights in our trademarks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, the laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. If we fail to apply for intellectual property protection or if we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property rights in these foreign countries, our competitors may be able to compete more effectively against us, which could adversely affect our competitive position, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property rights, we may incur liabilities and costs and may have to redesign or discontinue selling certain products.
Searching for existing intellectual property rights may not reveal important intellectual property and our competitors may also have filed for patent protection, which may not be publicly-available information, or claimed trademark rights that have not been revealed through our searches. In addition, some of our employees were previously employed at other medical device companies. We may be subject to claims that our employees have disclosed, or that we have used, trade secrets or other proprietary information of our employees’ former employers. Our efforts to identify and avoid infringing on third parties’ intellectual property rights may not always be successful. Any claims of patent or other intellectual property infringement against us, even those without merit, could:
increase the cost of our products;
•be expensive and time consumingtime-consuming to defend;
defend and result in us being required to paypayment of significant damages to third parties;
•force us to ceasestop making or selling products that incorporate the challenged intellectual property;
•require us to redesign, reengineer or rebrand our products, product candidates and technologies;
•require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements in order to obtainthat would increase the right to use a third-party’s intellectual property on terms that may not be favorable or acceptable to us;costs of our products;
•require us to indemnify third parties pursuant to contracts in which we have agreed to provide indemnification for intellectual property infringement claims;
•divert the attention of our management and other key employees;
and
•result in our customers or potential customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of the affected products impacted by the claims until the claims are resolved; and
otherwiseany of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, new patents obtained by our competitors could threaten the continued commercialization of our products in the market even after they have already been introduced.
We believe competitors may currently be violating and may in the future violate our intellectual property rights. As a result, we may initiate litigation to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, which may result in substantial expense and may divert management’s attention from implementing our business strategy.
We believe that the success of our business depends, in part, on obtaining patent protection for our products and technologies, defending our patents and preserving our trade secrets. We were previously involved in significant litigation to protect our patent positions related to some of our pulse oximetry signal processing patents that resulted in various settlements, most recentlysettlements. We believe some of the new market entrants in 2016,the healthcare and monitoring space, including some of the world’s largest technology companies, may be infringing our intellectual property, and we may be required to engage in additional litigation to protect our intellectual property in the future. In addition, we believe that certain individuals who previously held high level technical and clinical positions with us misappropriated our intellectual property for the benefit of themselves and other companies. For example, on January 9, 2020, we initiated litigation against Apple Inc. for infringement of a number of patents, for trade secret misappropriation and for ownership and correction of inventorship of a number of Apple Inc. patents that list one of our former employees as an inventor. Our ongoing and future litigation could result in significant additional costs and further divert the attention of our management and key personnel from our business operations and the implementation of our business strategy and may not be successful or adequate to protect our intellectual property rights.
The laws of foreign countries may not adequately protect our intellectual property rights. Intellectual property protection laws in foreign countries differ substantially from those in the U.S. If we fail to apply for intellectual property protection in foreign countries, or if we cannot adequately protect our intellectual property rights in these foreign countries, our competitors may be able to compete more effectively against us, which could adversely affect our competitive position, as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Regulatory Environment
Our failure to obtain and maintain FDA clearances or approvals on a timely basis, or at all, would prevent us from commercializing our current, upgraded or upgradednew products in the U.S., which could severely harm our business.
EachUnless an exemption applies, each medical device that we wish to market in the U.S. generally must first undergo premarket review by the FDA and receive clearance or approval pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) by receiving clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, receiving clearance through the de novo classification review process or obtaining approval of a premarket approval (PMA) application. Even if regulatory clearance or approval of a product is granted, the FDAU.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may clear or approve our products only for limited indications for use, limiting our ability to marketuse. Additionally, the product for only the FDA approved or cleared indications for use. The FDA may not grant 510(k) clearance on a timely basis, if at all, for new products or new uses that we propose for Masimo SET® or licensed rainbow® technology.
The traditional FDA 510(k) clearance process for our products has generally taken between threefour to sixnine months. However, our more recent experience and interactions with the FDA, along with information we have received from other medical device manufacturers, suggests that, in some cases, the FDA is requiring applicants to provide additional or different information and data for 510(k) clearance than it had previously required;required, and that the FDA may not rely on approaches that it had previously accepted to support 510(k) clearance.
These changes could lead to more review cycles or to decisions by the FDA that our products are not substantially equivalent or require greater amounts of information to demonstrate substantial equivalence. As a result, we have experienced lengthier FDA 510(k) review periods over the past few years, which haveclearance can be delayed the 510(k) clearance process for our products.products in some cases.
To support our product applications to the FDA, we frequently are required to conduct clinical testing of our products. Such clinical testing must be conducted in compliance with FDA requirements pertaining to human research. Among other requirements, we must obtain informed consent from humanstudy subjects and approval by institutional review boards before such studies may begin. We must also comply with other FDA requirements such as monitoring, record-keeping, reporting and the submission of information regarding certain clinical trials to a public database maintained by the National Institutes of Health. In addition, depending onif the study involves a significant risk posed by a study,device, we may beare required to obtain the FDA’s approval of the study under an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE). Compliance with these requirements can require significant time and resourcesresources. In addition, public health emergencies and ifother extraordinary circumstances may disrupt the conduct of our clinical trials. If the FDA determines that we have not complied with such requirements, itthe FDA may refuse to consider the data to support our applications or may initiate enforcement actions.
Even though 510(k) clearances have been obtained, if safety or effectiveness problems are identified with our pulse oximeters incorporating Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology, patient monitor devices, sensors, cables and other products, we may need to initiate a recall of such devices.products. Furthermore, our new products or significantly modified marketed products could be
denied 510(k) clearance and be required to undergo the more burdensome PMA or de novo classification review processes. The process of obtaining clearance of a de novo request classification or PMA approval of a PMA is much more costly, lengthy and uncertain than the process for obtaining 510(k) clearance. Clearance of a de
De novo request classification review generally takes six months to one year from the time of submission of the de novo request, although it can take longer. Approval of a PMA generally takes one to three yearsyear from the time of submission of the PMA, but may be longer.
We sell consumer versions of our iSpO2® and MightySat™® pulse oximeters that are not intended for medical use. We believe we are marketing these products in accordance with legal requirements that apply to products that are intended for general wellness or fitness uses. Some of our products or product features may alsonot be exempted fromsubject to the 510(k) process and/or other regulatory
requirements in accordance with specific FDA guidance and policies, such as the FDA guidance related to mobile medical applications. In addition, some of our products or product features may not be subject to device regulation underpursuant to Section 520(o) of the FDCA, which was enacted as part of the 21st Century Cures Act (Cures Act) in December 2016 and excludes certain software functions from the statutory definition of a device. Laws affecting ourIn addition, we may market certain products may change orpursuant to enforcement discretion policies the FDA may change its enforcement policy regardingpreviously announced to address the regulationneed for these products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such policies only remain in effect during the public health emergency, such that we will need to seek clearance or approval of such products to continue marketing these products.products at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. If the FDA changes its policypolicies or concludes that our marketing of these products is not in accordance with its current policypolicies and/or Section 520(o) of the FDCA, we may be required to seek clearance or approval of these devices through the 510(k), de novo classification review or PMA processes.
The failure of our OEM partners to obtain required FDA clearances or approvals for products that incorporate our technologies could have a negative impact on our revenue.
Our OEM partners are required to obtain their own FDA clearances in the U.S. for most products incorporating Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow® technology to market these products in the U.S.technologies. The FDA clearances we have obtained may not make it easier for our OEM partners to obtain clearances of products incorporating these technologies, or the FDA may not grant clearances on a timely basis, if at all, for any future productproducts incorporating Masimo SET® and licensed rainbow®technologytechnologies that our OEM partners propose to market.
If we or our suppliers fail to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products, these products could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market.
Our products, along with the manufacturing processes, labeling and promotional activities for our products, are subject to continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory bodies. Among other requirements, we and certain of our suppliers are required to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR), which coversgoverns the methods and documentation of the design, control testing, production, component suppliers control, quality assurance, complaint handling, labeling control, packaging, storage and shipping of our products. The FDA enforces the QSR through announced and unannounced inspections. We are also subject to similar state requirements and licenses.
In 2013, the FDA inspected our facility in Irvine, California and issued an FDA Form 483 listing observations the investigator believed may constitute violations of statutes or regulations administered by the FDA, including observations relating to complaint handling, medical device reporting and corrective and preventative action (CAPA) procedures. We submitted responses to the Form 483. In August 2014, we received a warning letter (the Warning Letter) related to the Irvine inspection. We submitted a response (the Response Letter) to the Warning Letter and attended a regulatory meeting with the FDA in September 2014. At the meeting, in addition to discussing our Response Letter, the FDA raised issues beyond the scope of the Warning Letter in the areas of Good Manufacturing Practices, quality, bioresearch monitoring and labeling/promotion.
In January 2016, the FDA issued certificates to foreign governments (CFGs) for products manufactured in our Irvine, California facility, which allows us to continue to register and import products into certain countries that require CFGs. In May 2017, the FDA inspected the Irvine facility and evaluated our corrective actions in response to the Warning Letter. At the close of that inspection, the FDA did not issue a Form 483 and later issued a letter indicating that, based on the FDA’s evaluation, it appeared that we had addressed the violations contained in the Warning Letter. The letter indicated that future FDA inspections and regulatory activities will further assess the adequacy and sustainability of the corrections.
In addition to the FDA, from time to time we are subject to inspections by the California Food and Drug Branch, international regulatory authorities and other similar governmental agencies. The standards used by these regulatory authorities are complex and may differ from those used by the FDA.
Failure by us or one of our suppliers to comply with statutes and regulations administered by the FDA and other regulatory bodies or failure to adequately respond to any FDA Form 483 observations, any California Food and Drug Branch notices of violation or any similar reports could result in, among other things, any of the following items:following:
•warning letters or untitled letters issued by the FDA;
•fines, civil penalties, in rem forfeiture proceedings, injunctions, consent decrees and criminal prosecution;
•import alerts;
•unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions;
•delays in clearing or approving, or refusal to clear or approve, our products;
withdrawal•withdrawals or suspensionsuspensions of clearance or approval of our products or those of our third-party suppliers by the FDA or other regulatory bodies;
•product recallrecalls or seizure;seizures;
•orders for physician notification or device repair, replacement or refund;
interruption•interruptions of production or inability to export to certain foreign countries; and
•operating restrictions.
operating restrictions.
If any of these itemsevents were to occur, it would harm our reputation and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Failure to obtain regulatory authorizations in foreign jurisdictions may prevent us from marketing our products abroad.
We currently market and intend to continue to market our products internationally. Outside of the U.S., we can generally market a product only if we receive a marketing authorization (and/or meet certain pre-marketing requirements) and, in some cases, pricing approval, from the appropriate regulatory authorities. The regulatory registration/licensing process varies among international jurisdictions and may require additional or different product testing and may differ from thatthan required for obtainingto obtain FDA clearance. FDA clearance does not ensure new product registration/licensing by foreign regulatory authorities, and we may be unable to obtain foreign regulatory registration/licensing on a timely basis, if at all.
In addition, clearance by one foreign regulatory authority does not ensure clearance by any other foreign regulatory authority or by the FDA. If we fail to receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in foreign jurisdictions on a timely basis, or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Furthermore, foreign regulatory requirements may change from time to time, which could adversely affect our ability to market new products, and/or continue to market existing products, internationally. Certain significant changes in the international regulatory landscape have recently taken place or will take place in the near future. These include the new EU Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR), which came into effect on May 26, 2021 and a new regulatory regime in the UK effective since January 1, 2021 as a result of the UK’s exit from the EU and the expiry of the transitional periods.
Modifications to our marketed devices may require new regulatory clearances or premarket approvals, or may require us to cease marketing or to recall the modified devices until clearances or approvals are obtained.
We have made modifications to our devices in the past and we may make additional modifications in the future. Any modificationsmodification to an FDA-cleareda device that is cleared by the FDA that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness or that could constitute a major change in its intended use would require a new 510(k) clearance or possiblyapproval and certain modifications to devices cleared or approved by foreign regulatory authorities may also require a de novo reviewnew clearance or PMA. approval.
We may not be able to obtain such clearances or approvals in a timely fashion, or at all. Delays in obtaining future clearances would adversely affect our ability to introduce new or enhanced products in a timely manner, which in turn would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The standards for determining which modifications require a new 510(k) clearance are ambiguous, and the FDA may disagree with our conclusions.
For thosedevice modifications that we conclude do not require a new 510(k), if the FDA disagrees with our conclusion and requires new clearancesregulatory clearance or approvals for the modifications,approval, we may be required to recall and to stop marketing the modified devices whichif the government agency disagrees with our conclusion and requires new clearances or approvals for the modifications. This could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Federal regulatoryDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA has issued enforcement policies under which the agency has said it will not require clearance of a new 510(k) for certain modifications to 510(k)-cleared non-invasive vital-sign patient monitoring devices. However, these policies remain in effect only during the COVID-19 pandemic. Manufacturers that make modifications pursuant to these policies will need to stop marketing the modifications at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic unless the manufacturer receives 510(k) clearance for the modifications.
Regulatory reforms may impact our ability to develop and commercialize our products and technologies.
From time to time, legislation is drafted and introduced in Congressby governments that could significantly change the statutory provisions governing the clearance or approval, manufacture and marketing of medical devices. For example, in December 2016, Congress enacted the Cures Act, which contained several provisions related to the review and approval of new medical technologies. Along with other changes, the Cures Act established a statutory program for “breakthrough” devices, defined as a device intended to treat or diagnose a life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating disease or condition and (1) that represents a breakthrough technology, (2) that has no approved/cleared alternatives, (3) that offers significant advantages over approved/cleared alternatives or (4) the availability of the device is in the best interest of patients. The FDA will apply additional resources to help speed the approval or clearance of devices that are designated as breakthrough devices. The Cures Act also included provisions related to the “least burdensome” principle with respect to demonstrating substantial equivalence or reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness and expanded the number of patients that could be treated by a device approved under a Humanitarian Device Exemption, among other provisions.
In August 2017, Congress enacted the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA). FDARA reauthorized the FDA to collect device user fees, including a new user fee for de novo classification requests, and contained substantive amendments to the device provisions of the FDCA. Among other changes, FDARA required that the FDA update and revise its processes for scheduling inspections of device establishments, communicating about those inspections with manufacturers and providing feedback on the manufacturer’s responses to Form 483s. The statute also required that the FDA study the impact of device servicing, including third party servicers,third-party services, and createscreated a new process for device sponsors to request classification of accessory devices as part of the PMA application for the parent device or to request a separate classification of accessory devices.
In addition, the FDA regulations and guidance are often revised or reinterpreted by the FDAgovernment agency in ways that may significantly affect our business and ouror products. It is impossible to predict whether additional legislative changes will be enacted or whether FDA regulations, guidance or interpretations will be changed, and what the impact of such changes, if any, may be. However, any futureFuture regulatory changes could make it more difficult for us to maintainobtain or attainmaintain approval to develop and commercialize our products and technologies. Public health emergencies may also prompt temporary or permanent regulatory reforms that could change the processes governing the clearance or approval, manufacture and marketing of medical devices.
In the EU, for example, the new MDR became applicable to our medical devices on May 26, 2021. The MDR requires medical devices and their manufacturers to comply with more stringent standards than before. The MDR also imposes new and enhanced obligations on importers and distributors of medical devices in the EU. Although the MDR is subject to certain transitional periods, both we and others involved in the distribution and commercialization of our medical devices in the EU will need to comply with more stringent EU rules.
Due to Brexit, from January 1, 2021, a new regulatory framework applies to medical devices commercialized in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). This is now separate from the regime in the EU. Although certain transition periods apply until June 30, 2023, the medical devices we intend to commercialize in Great Britain will need to conform to different requirements than the requirements in the EU. These factors are likely to add more complexity to our regulatory compliance obligations in Europe and our ability to commercialize medical devices in European markets.
If our products cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, we will be subject to medical device reporting regulations, which can result inand may need to initiate voluntary corrective actions or agency enforcementin certain circumstances be required to take corrective actions, includingsuch as the recall of our products.
UnderRegulatory agencies in many countries require us to report anytime our products cause or contribute to a death or serious injury, or malfunction in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. For example, under the FDA medical device reporting regulations, we are required to report to the FDA any incident in which a product of ours may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or in which a product of ours malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, would be likely to cause or contribute to death or serious injury. In addition, all manufacturers placing medical devices on the market in the European Union (EU)EU are legally required to report any serious or potentially serious incidents involving devices produced or sold by the manufacturer to the relevant authority in those jurisdictions where any such incident occurred.
The FDA and similar foreign governmentalregulatory authorities have the authority to require the recall of our commercialized products in the event of material deficiencies or defects in, for example, design, labeling or manufacture. In the case of theThe FDA the authority to require a recall generally must be based on an FDA findingfind that there is a reasonable probability that the device would cause serious adverse health consequences or death.death in order to require a recall. The standard for recalling deficient products may be different in foreign jurisdictions. Manufacturers may, under their own initiative, recall a product if any material deficiency is found in a device is found or they become aware of a safety issue involving a marketed product. A government-mandated or voluntary recall by us or by one of our distributors could occur as a result of component failures, manufacturing errors, design or labeling defects or other deficiencies and issues.
We may initiate certain field actions, such as a product correction or removal of our products in the future. A correction is a repair, modification, adjustment, relabeling, destructionIn addition, third parties that commercialize products incorporating our technologies may initiate similar actions or inspection of a device, without its physical removal from its point of use to some other location. A removal is the physical removal of a device from its point of use to some other location for repair, modification, adjustment, relabeling, destruction or inspection. If aproduct corrections. Any correction or removal is initiated by us to reduce a health risk posed by our device, or to remedy a violation of the FDCA or other regulations caused by the device that may present a risk to health, the correction or removal must be reported to the FDA. If the FDA subsequently determines that a report was required for a correction or removal of our products that we did not believe required a report, we could be subject to enforcement actions.
Any recalls or corrections of our products or third party products that incorporate our technologies, or enforcement actions would divert managerial and financial resources and could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we have initiated various field actions related to our products as required by applicable law and regulations, including device corrections and removals, none of which were material to our operating results. These field actions were reported to the FDA and other foreign regulatory agencies, when required, within the appropriate regulatory timeframes. Because of In addition, given our dependence upon patient and physician perceptions, any negative publicity associated with these or any future voluntary recalls could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.
Promotion of our products using claims that are off-label, unsubstantiated, false or misleading could subject us to substantial penalties.
Obtaining 510(k) clearance permits us to promote our products for the uses cleared by the FDA. Use of a device outside its cleared or approved indications is known as “off-label” use.use or promotion, respectively. Physicians may use our products off-label because the FDA does not restrict or regulate a physician’s choice of treatment within the practice of medicine.medicine, but we may not promote our products “off-label”. While we may request additional cleared indications for our current products, the FDA may deny those requests, require additional expensive clinical data to support any additional indications or impose limitations on the intended use of any cleared product as a condition of clearance. If the FDA determines that our products were promoted for off-label use or that false, misleading or inadequately substantiated promotional claims have been made by us or our OEM partners, it could request that we or our OEM partners modify those promotional materials or it could take regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine and criminal penalties. While certain U.S. courts have held that truthful, non-misleading, off-label information is protected under the First Amendment under certain circumstances, the FDA continues to take the position that off-label promotion is subject to enforcement action.
It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities may take action if they consider our communications, including promotional or training materials, or other communications, to constitute promotion of an uncleared or unapproved use. Although, depending on the facts and circumstances, such promotion might be protected speech under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, we cannot be sure that government authorities or a court would find us in violation of the law. If not successfully defended, enforcement actions related to off-label promotion could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement. In any such event, in addition to potential extensive fines and penalties, our reputation could be damaged, and adoption of our products would be impaired. Although our policy is to refrain from statements that could be considered off-label promotion of our products, the regulatory standards regarding off-label promotion are ambiguous,impaired and the FDA or another regulatory agencywe could conclude that we have engaged in off-label promotion.be subject to extensive fines and penalties.
In addition to promoting our products in a manner consistent with our clearances,Additionally, we must have adequate substantiation for the claims we make for our products. If any of our claims are determined to be false, misleading or deceptive, our products could be considered to be misbranded under the FDCA or to violatein violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act. We could also face lawsuits from our competitors under the Lanham Act alleging that our marketing materials are false or misleading.
The regulatory environment governing information, cybersecurity and privacy is increasingly demanding and continues to evolve.
Personal privacy and data security have become significant issues in the U.S., Europe and many other jurisdictions where we offer our products. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.
Certain U.S. and foreign laws, such as the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), govern the transmission, security and privacy of individually identifiable information and sensitive health and other personal information that we may obtain or have access to in connection with the operation of our business, including the conduct of clinical research trials or other research studies that may provide us with access to this information. We may be required to make costly system modifications to comply with these data privacy and security requirements. In addition, if we do not properly comply with applicable laws and regulations related to the protection of this information, we could be subject to criminal or civil penalties and sanctions. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), which became effective on January 1, 2020, requires us to make new disclosures to consumers about our data collection, use and sharing practices. The CCPA also allows consumers to opt out of certain data sales to third parties, affords new consumer rights, and provides a new cause of action for data breaches with the possibility of significant statutory damage awards as well as injunctive or declaratory relief if there has been unauthorized access, theft or disclosure of specified personal information due to failure to implement reasonable security procedures. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which will go into effect on January 1, 2023, with a twelve month look-back period for enforcement purposes, will effectively replace the CCPA. Among other changes, the CPRA expands consumers’ rights and has enhanced enforcement mechanisms such as the creation of a new California privacy agency that will investigate and enforce the CPRA and its promulgating regulations. In addition to the CCPA and the CPRA, all 50 U.S. states have data breach notification laws that, if violated, could result in penalties, fines and litigation. In addition, many states have implemented or are in the process of implementing related legislation, including state-specific biometric privacy laws that have resulted in class-action lawsuits against businesses. The full impact of these laws on our business is yet to be determined, but it could result in increased operating expenses as well as additional exposure to the risk of litigation by or on behalf of consumers.
Internationally, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in May 2018 within the European Economic Area (EEA), and many EEA jurisdictions have also adopted their own data privacy and protection laws in addition to the GDPR. Furthermore, other international jurisdictions, including Singapore, South Korea, China, Brazil, Mexico and Australia, have also implemented laws relating to data privacy and protection. Although we believe that we are complying with the GDPR and similar laws, these laws are still relatively new. Therefore, as international data privacy and protection laws continue to evolve, and as new regulations, interpretive guidance and enforcement information become available, we may incur incremental costs to modify our business practices to comply with these requirements. In addition, our internal control policies and procedures may not always protect us from reckless, intentional or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents.
In addition, our pending acquisition of Sound United, a consumer technology company, may subject us to additional privacy regulations.
Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could subject us to monetary and non-monetary penalties for noncompliance, disrupt our operations, involve significant management distraction, subject us to class action lawsuits and result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to or otherwise affected by federal and state health carehealthcare laws, including fraud and abuse laws and health information privacy and security laws, and could face substantial penalties if we are unable to fully comply with these laws.
Although we do not provide health care services or receive payments directly from Medicare, Medicaid or other third-party payers for our products or the procedures in which our products are used, health care regulation by federal and state governments will impact our business. Health careHealthcare fraud and abuse laws potentially applicable to our operations include, but are not limited to:
•the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, which prohibits, among other things, knowingly and willfully offering, paying, soliciting or receiving any bribe, kickback or other remuneration intended to induce the purchase, order or recommendation of an item or service reimbursable under a federal health carehealthcare program (such as the Medicare or Medicaid programs);
•the federal False Claims Act and other federal laws which prohibit, among other things, knowingly and willfully presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment from Medicare, Medicaid, other government payers or other third-party payers that are false or fraudulent;
•the provisionsPhysician Payments Sunshine Act, which requires medical device companies to track and publicly report, with limited exceptions, all payments and transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals in the federal Health Insurance PortabilityU.S.; and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which established federal crimes for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme to defraud any health care benefit program or making false statements in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services; and
•state laws analogous to each of the above federal laws, such as state anti-kickback and false claims laws that may apply to items or services reimbursed by governmental programs and non-governmental third-party payers, including commercial insurers, and state laws governing the privacy of certain patient identifiable health information (PHI).
Federal and state false claims laws prohibit anyone from presenting, or causing to be presented, claims for payment to third-party payers that are false or fraudulent. For example, the federal Civil False Claims Act imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly and willfully presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal health care program, including Medicaid and Medicare.
Some suits filed under the Civil False Claims Act, known as “qui tam” actions, can be brought by a private individual, referred to as a “whistleblower” or “relator,” on behalf of the government, and such individuals may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. Such complaints are filed under seal and remain sealed until the applicable court orders otherwise. In recent years, the number of suits brought by private individuals has increased dramatically. Manufacturers, like us, can be held liable under false claims laws, even if they do not submit claims to the government, if they are found to have caused medical care providers to have submitted claims to the government for payment for a service or the use of a device that is not properly covered for government reimbursement.
A number of states also have false claims laws, and some of these laws may apply to claims for items or services reimbursed under Medicaid and/or commercial insurance. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturer’s products from reimbursement under government programs and imprisonment. In particular, when an entity is determined to have violated the federal Civil False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties of $10,957 to $21,916 (adjusted for inflation) for each separate false claim.
We have certain arrangements with hospitals that may be affected by health care fraud and abuse laws. For instance, under our standard customer arrangements, we provide hospitals with pulse oximetry monitoring devices at no up-front charge as part of their agreement to purchase future pulse oximetry sensor requirements from us. In addition, we occasionally provide our customers with rebates in connection with their annual purchases. While we believe that these arrangements are structured such that we are currently in compliance with applicable federal and state health care laws, one or more of these arrangements may not meet the federal Anti-Kickback Statute’s safe harbor requirements, which may result in increased scrutiny by government authorities that are responsible for enforcing these laws.
The Physician Payment Sunshine Act (the Sunshine Act), which was enacted by Congress as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act) in March 2010, requires medical device companies to track and publicly report, with limited exceptions, all payments and transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals in the U.S. Implementing regulations for these tracking and reporting obligations were finalized in 2013, and companies are now required to track payments made since August 2013. If we fail to comply with the data collection and reporting obligations imposed by the Sunshine Act, we may be subject to substantial civil monetary penalties.insurers.
If we are found to have violated any of such laws or other similar governmental regulations, to which weincluding their foreign counterparts, that are directly or indirectly subject and, as a result,applicable to us, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, exclusion of our products from reimbursement under Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health carehealthcare programs, and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. Any penalties could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against such action, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business.
Further, we are required to comply with federal and state laws governing the transmission, security and privacy of individually identifiable PHI that we may obtain or have access to in connection with the manufacture and sale of our products. We may be required to make costly system modifications to comply with the HIPAA privacy and security requirements.In addition, if we do not properly comply with existing or new laws and regulations related to the protection of health information, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions, the potential enforcement of which is greater as a result of the Health Information Technology of Economic and Clinical Health Act.
Numerous other federal and state laws protect the confidentiality of PHI, including state medical information privacy laws, state social security number protection laws and state and federal consumer protection laws. In some cases, more protective state privacy and security laws are not preempted by HIPAA and may be subject to interpretation by various governmental authorities and courts, resulting in potentially complex compliance issues for us and our customers.
In addition, state and federal human subject protection laws apply to our receipt of individually identifiable PHI in connection with clinical research. These laws could create liability for us if one of our research collaborators uses or discloses research subject information without authorization and in violation of applicable laws.
We may incur significant costs and potential liabilities in defending our new products and technologies in various legal and other proceedings.
Our noninvasive measurement technologies are new and not yet widely understood or accepted. These new technologies may become the subject of various legal and other proceedings. We may incur significant costs in explaining and defending our new products and technologies in these proceedings, often to non-technical audiences. As these new products are introduced into the market and become more widely adopted, we may discover flaws or errors, which could result in product recalls, fines or harm our reputation, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the outcomes of these proceedings are unpredictable and may result in significant liabilities, regardless of the merits of the claims made in the proceedings.
Legislative and regulatory changes in the health carehealthcare industry could have a negative impact on our financial performance. Furthermore, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be significantly and adversely affected by health carehealthcare reform legislation in the U.S. or if reform programs are adopted in our key international markets.
Changes in the health carehealthcare industry in the U.S. and elsewhereabroad could adversely affect the demand for our products as well asand the way in which we conduct our business. InFor example, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the ACA), enacted in 2010, President Obama signed health care reform legislation into law that required most individuals to have health insurance, established new regulations on health plans, created insurance poolinginsurance-pooling mechanisms and reduced Medicare spending on services provided by hospitals and other providers. Beginning in January 2013, this legislation also imposed significant new taxes on medical device makers in the form of a 2.3% excise tax on U.S. medical device sales, as well as related compliance and reporting obligations. In December 2015, the medical device tax was temporarily suspended for two years beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2017. On January 22, 2018, an additional two-year temporary suspensionThe long-term viability of the medical device tax was enacted beginning January 1, 2018ACA, and ending December 31, 2019. Such tax may be reimposedits impact on medical device makers beginning on January 1, 2020 if such suspension is not re-extended or the medical device tax is not permanently repealed.
In general, an expansion in the government’s role in the U.S. health care industry may lower reimbursements for our products, reduce demand for innovative products, reduce medical procedure volumes and adversely affect our business and results of operations, possibly in a material manner. In addition, as a result of the continued focus on health care reform, there is a risk that Congress may implement changes in laws and regulations governing health care service providers, including measures to control costs or reductions in reimbursement levels, which could result in pricing pressures,remains uncertain. There have an adverse effect on the demand for our products and/or negatively impact the prices that the market is willing to accept for our current and future products. We cannot predict the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on us or what health care initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the state level. Furthermore, many private payers look to Medicare’s coverage and reimbursement policies in setting their coverage policies and reimbursement amounts such that federal reforms could influence the private sector as well. Finally, many states also may attempt to reform their Medicaid programs such that either coverage for certain items or services may be narrowed or reimbursement for them could be reduced. These health care reforms may adversely affect our business.
Consistent with or in addition to Congressional or state reforms, CMS, the federal agency that administers the Medicare and Medicaid programs, could change its current policies that affect coverage and reimbursement for our products. For example, in 2007, CMS determined that certain uses of pulse oximetry monitoring are eligible for separate Medicare payment in the hospital outpatient setting when no separately payable hospital outpatient services are reported on the same date of service. However, CMS re-examines the reimbursement rates for hospital inpatient and outpatient and physician office settings each year and could either increase or decrease the reimbursement rate for procedures utilizing our products. We are unable to
predict when legislation or regulation that affects our business may be proposed or enacted in the future or what effect any such legislation or regulation would have on our business. Any such legislation, regulation or policies that affect the coverage and reimbursement of our current or future products, or the procedures utilizing our current or future products, could cause our sales to decrease and our revenue to decline.
Our success in international markets also may depend upon the eligibility of reimbursement for our products through government-sponsored health care payment systems and other third-party payers. Outside of the U.S., reimbursement systems vary by country. These systems are often subject to the same pressures to curb rising health care costs and control health care expenditures as those in the U.S. In addition, as economies of emerging markets develop, these countries may implement changes in their health care delivery and payment systems. If adequate levels of reimbursement from third-party payers outside of the U.S. are not obtained, sales of our products outside of the U.S. may be adversely affected.
In addition, the requirements or restrictions imposed on us or our products may change, either as a result of administratively adopted policies or regulations or as a result of the enactment of new laws. Moreover, there have been recent U.S. Congressional actions to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and Medicare,ACA, and future actions are expected. Even if the Affordable Care Act is not amended or repealed in its entirety, proposed changes impacting implementation or existing provisions of the Affordable Care Act could materially and adversely affect our financial position or operations. For example, on December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act) was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act,(TCJA), among other things, eliminated the individual mandate requiring most Americans (other than those who qualify for a hardship exemption) to carry a minimum level of health coverage effective January 1, 2019. The repeal
In December 2018, a federal district court judge in Texas found the ACA’s individual mandate to be unconstitutional; and therefore, the entire law to be invalid. In December 2019, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the ruling regarding the individual mandate but remanded the case to the district court for additional analysis of the question of severability and whether portions of the law remain valid. In June 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the states and individuals that brought the lawsuit do not have standing to challenge the law, effectively ending the case without ruling on the constitutionality of the individual mandate, as well as similar laws or changes in other jurisdictions, may decrease the number of people who are insured, which could decrease overall demand for our products and adversely affect our business and future results of operations.
mandate. Although we cannot predict the ultimate content or timing of any healthcare reform legislation or other court challenges to the ACA, potential changes resulting from any amendment, repeal, replacement or replacementinvalidation of these programs, including any reduction in the future availability of healthcare insurance benefits, or reimbursement rates,may decrease the number of people who are insured, which could adversely affect our business and future results of operations.
Our medical devices and business activities are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA and other federal, state and international governmental authorities. These authorities and members of Congress have been increasing their scrutiny over the medical device industry. In recent years, Congress, the U.S. Congress, Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense have issued subpoenas and other requests for information to medical device manufacturers, primarily related to financial arrangements with health carehealthcare providers, regulatory compliance and marketing and product promotional practices. Furthermore, certain state governments have enacted legislation to limit and/or increase transparency of interactions with health carehealthcare providers, pursuant to which we are required by law to disclose payments and other transfers forof value to health carehealthcare providers licensed by certain states.
We anticipate that the government will continue to scrutinize our industry closely, and any new regulations or statutory provisions could result in delays or increased costs during the periods of product development, clinical trials and regulatory review and approval, as well as increased costs to assure compliance.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China and has since spread to many other countries, including the United States, where we have our principal executive offices and principal operations, Switzerland, where we have our international headquarters, and Mexico, where we have significant manufacturing operations. Government-imposed travel restrictions have resulted, and may continue to result, in direct operational and administrative disruptions to our domestic and foreign facilities. In addition, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar orders by local governments have impacted and could further impact the productivity of our manufacturing, engineering, sales and administrative staff and facilities in the United States and other countries. Our operations would be disrupted if any of our employees or employees of our business partners were suspected of having contracted COVID-19, which could require quarantine of some or all such employees or closure of our facilities for disinfection.
If the current pace of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to accelerate due to variants such as the omicron variant and the spread of the virus is not contained in the U.S. and other jurisdictions where we operate, our business operations could be further delayed or interrupted. Further, any resurgence in infections in the U.S. or other countries where government restrictions have been fully or partially lifted could result in a re-imposition of such restrictions, causing renewed disruptions to our business. In the event that government and health authorities may announce new or extend existing restrictions, which could include vaccine or testing mandates, we may be required to make further adjustments to our operations in order to comply with any such restrictions. For example, on September 9, 2021, the President of the United States issued Executive Order (EO) 14042, requiring that employees of federal contractors and subcontractors be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and Masimo is a federal contractor. However, the EO has faced legal challenges in federal courts and there is currently a nationwide injunction on EO 14042. The President of the United States also directed the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Fed-OSHA) to issue Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) that will direct large employers (those with 100+ employees) to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations for their employees; however, on January 13, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked these regulations from going into effect. Though it is difficult to predict whether the injunction on the EO mandate will be lifted, if we are ultimately required to mandate vaccines for our employees, we may experience workforce constraints due to shortages of vaccinated personnel, strains on the labor market, limitations on hiring new employees and difficulty retaining and securing employees who are vaccinated. In addition, our suppliers who are subject to similar vaccination mandates or regulations may experience similar constraints, thereby affecting their ability to provide to us with sufficient inventory or material to meet our demands and needs in a timely manner. All of these factors could negatively affect our business and operations.
Furthermore, global supply chains and the timely availability of raw materials, component parts and products may be materially disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to combat COVID-19, such as quarantines, government mandates surrounding vaccinations, factory slowdowns or shutdowns, border closings and travel restrictions. In addition, our suppliers have experienced, and may continue to experience, difficulties in delivering raw materials, components and products to us as transportation networks and distribution facilities have been disrupted, resulting in delays at ports of arrival. Furthermore, the availability of shipping containers has decreased and there have been global changes in the types of goods being shipped, all of which have resulted in increased shipping costs, which may affect the availability of raw materials, component parts and products to meet our sales demand. For example, we utilize semiconductor chips in certain products that we manufacture. Semiconductor chips have been subject to an ongoing global supply shortage and our ability to source semiconductor chips or the components that use semiconductor chips may be adversely affected in the future. Component delivery lead times have increased and are expected to continue to increase, which may cause delays in our production of products and increase the cost to obtain semiconductor chips and components that use semiconductor chips. If this semiconductor chip shortage or shortages of other component parts continues, we may experience delays, production interruptions, increased costs and an inability to fulfill engineering design changes or customer demand, each of which could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to extreme volatility in capital markets and a decline in interest rates, and has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, the market price of our common stock. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, a continued or widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business and financial results continues to depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict.
If our employees become ill or otherwise incapacitated, our operations may be adversely impacted.
At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented telework policies wherever possible for appropriate categories of employees in response to various stay at home/shelter in place orders (Stay at Home Orders) implemented by state and local governments. In response to the lifting or partial lifting of the Stay at Home Orders, we have reopened our facilities to both “nonessential” and “essential” employees. We have implemented a number of safety measures for our facilities, including limiting facility access, social distancing, face covering, temperature checking and increased sanitation standards. While we have developed and implemented, and continue to develop and implement, health and safety guidelines in an effort to try to mitigate the negative impact of COVID-19, there can be no assurances that our measures will be sufficient to protect our employees in our workplace or that our employees will not otherwise be exposed to COVID-19 outside of our workplace. If a number of our employees become ill, incapacitated or are otherwise unable to continue working during the current or any future pandemic or epidemic, our operations may be adversely impacted.
We may experience conflicts of interest with Cercacor with respect to business opportunities and other matters.
Prior to our initial public offering in August 2007, our stockholders owned 99% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Cercacor, and we believe that as of December 30, 2017, a number of our stockholders, including certain of our directors and executive officers, continue to own shares of Cercacor stock. Joe Kiani, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), is also the Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerCEO of Cercacor.
Due to the interrelated nature of Cercacor with us, conflicts of interest willmay arise with respect to transactions involving business dealings between us and Cercacor, potential acquisitions of businesses or products, the development and ownership of technologies and products, the sale of products, markets and other matters in which our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders may conflict with the best interests of the stockholders of Cercacor. In addition, we and Cercacor may disagree regarding the interpretation of certain terms in the Cross-Licensing Agreement. We cannot guarantee that any conflict of interest will be resolved in our favor, or that, with respect to our transactions with Cercacor, we will negotiate terms that are as favorable to us as if such transactions were with another third-party.
We will be required to assign to Cercacor and pay Cercacor for the right to use certain products and technologies we develop that relate to the monitoring of non-vital sign parameters, including improvements to Masimo SET®.
Under the Cross-Licensing Agreement, if we develop certain products or technologies that relate to the noninvasive monitoring of non-vital sign parameters, including improvements to Masimo SET® for the noninvasive monitoring of non-vital sign parameters, we would be required to assign these developments to Cercacor and then license the technology back from Cercacor in consideration for upfront payments and royalty obligations to Cercacor. Therefore, these products and technologies would be deemed to have been developed or improved exclusively by Cercacor.
In addition, we will not be reimbursed by Cercacor for our expenses relating to the development or improvement of any such products or technologies, which expenses may be significant. As a result of these terms, we may not generate any revenue from the further development of certain products and technologies for the monitoring of non-vital sign parameters, including improvements to Masimo SET®, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the event that the Cross-Licensing Agreement is terminated for any reason, or Cercacor grants a license to rainbow® technology to a third-party, our business would be materially and adversely affected.
Cercacor owns all of the proprietary rights to certain rainbow® technology developed with our proprietary Masimo SET® for products intended to be used in the Cercacor Market,“Cercacor Market”, and all rights to any non-vital signs measurement for which we do not exercise an option pursuant to the Cross-Licensing Agreement. In addition, Cercacor has the right to terminate the Cross-Licensing Agreement or grant licenses covering rainbow® technology to third parties if we breach certain terms of the agreement, including any failure to meet our minimum royalty payment obligations or failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop or market products incorporating licensed rainbow® technology. If we lose our exclusive license to rainbow® technology, we would lose the ability to prevent others from making, using, selling or importing products using rainbow® technology in our market. As a result, we would likely be subject to increased competition within our market, and Cercacor or competitors who obtain a license to rainbow® technology from Cercacor would be able to offer related products.
We may not be able to commercialize our products incorporating licensed rainbow® technology cost-effectively or successfully.
As a result of the royalties that we must pay to Cercacor, it is generally more expensive for us to make products that incorporate licensed rainbow® technology than products that do not include licensed rainbow® technology.
We cannot assure you thatAs a result, we willmay not be able to sell products incorporating licensed rainbow® technology at a price the market is willing to accept. If we cannot commercialize our products incorporating licensed rainbow® technology successfully, we may not be able to generate sufficient product revenue from these products to be profitable, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Rights provided to Cercacor in the Cross-Licensing Agreement may impede a change in control of our company.
Under the Cross-Licensing Agreement, a change in control includes the resignation or termination of Joe Kiani from his position as Chief Executive OfficerCEO of either Masimo or Cercacor. A change in control also includes other customary events, such as the sale or merger of Masimo or Cercacor to a non-affiliated third-party or the acquisition of 50% or more of the voting power of Masimo or Cercacor by a non-affiliated third-party. In the event we undergo a change in control, we are required to immediately pay a $2.5 million fee to exercise an option to license technology developed by Cercacor for use in blood glucose monitoring.
Additionally, our per product royalties payable to Cercacor will become subject to specified minimums, and the minimum aggregate annual royalties for licensed rainbow® measurements payable to Cercacor related to carbon monoxide, methemoglobin, fractional arterial oxygen saturation, hemoglobin and blood glucose will increase to $15.0 million, plus up to $2.0 million for other rainbow® measurements. Also, if the surviving or acquiring entity ceases to use “Masimo” as a company name and trademark following a change in control, all rights to the “Masimo” trademark will automatically be assigned to Cercacor. This could delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of us, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over our then-current trading price. In addition, our requirement to assign all future improvements for non-vital signs to Cercacor could impede a change in control of our company.
If we are unable to obtain key materials and components from sole or limited source suppliers, we will not be able to deliver our products to customers.
We depend on certain sole or limited source suppliers for certain key materials and components, including digital signal processor chips and analog-to-digital converter chips, for our noninvasive patient monitoring solutions. These suppliers are located around the world, and the production and shipment of such materials and components may be constrained globally due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We may experience significant fluctuationsmanufacturing problems related to these suppliers and other outside sources if such suppliers fail to develop, manufacture or ship products and components to us on a timely basis, or provide us with products and components that do not meet our quality standards and required quantities. We have experienced supply constraints with regard to certain digital signal processor chips and other components during the pandemic, but have so far been able to mitigate these constraints. In addition, from time to time there have been industry-wide shortages of certain components that we use in our quarterly and annual results in the future,noninvasive blood constituent patient monitoring solutions. We may also experience price increases for materials or components, with no guarantee that such increases can be passed along to our customers, which could adversely impact our gross margins.
If any of these problems occur, we may not maintainbe unable to obtain substitute sources for these products and components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, which could harm our current levelsability to manufacture our own products and components profitably or on time.
Future strategic initiatives, including acquisitions of profitability,businesses and changes to existing accounting pronouncements or taxation rules maystrategic investments, could negatively affect how we conduct our business, financial condition and our results of operations.operations if we fail to integrate the acquired businesses successfully into our existing operations or achieve the desired results of our investment.
Our operating resultsWe have fluctuated in the pastacquired several businesses since our inception and are likely to fluctuatewe may acquire additional businesses in the future. WeFor example, on February 15, 2022, we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Sound United. Future acquisitions may experience fluctuationsrequire debt or equity financing, which could be dilutive to our existing stockholders or reduce our earnings per share or other financial metrics. In connection with the pending acquisition of Sound United, we received a debt commitment letter for a credit facility in the amount of $800 million and expect to secure this credit facility in the event the proposed acquisition closes. Even if we complete acquisitions, there are many factors that could affect whether such acquisition will be beneficial to our quarterly resultsbusiness, including, without limitation:
•payment of operationsabove-market prices for acquisitions and higher than anticipated acquisition costs;
•issuance of common stock as part of the acquisition price or a result of:need to issue stock options or other equity to newly-hired employees of target companies, resulting in dilution of ownership to our existing stockholders;
predatory pricing•reduced profitability if an acquisition is not accretive to our business over either the short-term or the long-term;
•difficulties in integrating any acquired companies, personnel, products and bundling practices byother assets into our competitors targetedexisting business;
•delays in realizing the benefits of the acquired company, products or other assets;
•regulatory challenges and becoming subject to dissuade customers from using our technology;additional regulatory requirements;

In addition, a change in accounting pronouncements or taxation rules or practices, or the interpretation of them by the SEC or other regulatory bodies, could have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements or taxation rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements or taxation practice have occurred and may occur in the future. Specifically, on December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act, which took effect on January 1, 2018, includes a number of changes to existing tax law impacting businesses including, among other things, a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, a one-time transition tax on the “deemed repatriation” of cumulative undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017 and changes in the prospective taxation of the foreign operations of U.S. multinational companies. Moreover, Congressional leaders have recognized that the process of adopting extensive tax legislation in a short amount of time without hearings and substantial time for review is likely to have led to drafting errors, issues needing clarification and unintended consequences that will have to be reviewed in subsequent tax legislation. At this point, it is not clear when Congress will address these issues or when the Internal Revenue Service will be able to issue administrative guidance on the changes made in the 2017 Tax Act. Accordingly, given the complexity and lack of specificity related to certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, we made certain estimates and assumptionsliabilities in connection with the calculation ofacquisition; and
•changes in the overall financial model as certain acquired companies may have a different revenue, gross profit margin or operating expense profile.
Further, our provision for income taxes for the year ended December 30, 2017ability to benefit from future acquisitions and/or external strategic investments depends on our ability to successfully conduct due diligence, negotiate acceptable terms, evaluate prospective opportunities and recorded a discrete tax charge of approximately $37.0 million.bring acquired technologies and/or products to market at acceptable margins and operating expense levels. For example, we acquired TNI medical AG® (TNI) and added softFlow® technology to our product portfolio during 2020. In addition, we acquired LiDCO Group, Plc, which specializes in hemodynamic monitoring solutions. As these are our first therapeutic and hemodynamic monitoring solutions, the integration of these technologies may require substantial management time and attention and may divert attention and resources from other important areas, including our existing business and product lines, and we may not be able to sell softFlow® technology and hemodynamic monitoring solutions at acceptable margins and operating expense levels. Our failure in any of these tasks could result in unforeseen liabilities associated with an acquired company, acquiring a company on unfavorable terms or selecting and eventually acquiring a suboptimal acquisition target.
We may also discover deficiencies in internal controls, data adequacy and integrity, product quality, regulatory compliance, product liabilities or other undisclosed liabilities that we did not uncover prior to our acquisition or investment, which could result in us becoming subject to penalties, other liabilities or asset impairments. In addition, if we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of an acquisition or other external investment as a result of this change in U.S. tax policy, we recorded a related discrete tax charge of $6.5 millionrapidly as a result ofexpected, or at all, investors or analysts may downgrade our decisionstock.
We also expect to repatriate up to $180.0 million of accumulated undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. We continue to evaluatecarry out internal strategic initiatives that we believe are necessary to grow our revenues and expand our business, both in the impactU.S. and abroad. For example, we have continued to invest in international expansion programs designed to increase our worldwide presence and take advantage of market expansion opportunities around the 2017 Tax Actworld. Although we believe our investments in these initiatives continue to be in the long-term best interests of Masimo and our stockholders, there are no assurances that such initiatives will yield favorable results for us. Accordingly, if these initiatives are not successful, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If these risks materialize, our stock price could be materially adversely affected. Any difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses or unexpected penalties, liabilities or asset impairments in connection with such acquisitions or investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our new products and changes to existing products as a result of our proposed acquisition of Sound United could fail to attract or retain users or generate revenue and profits. Further, we may not be successful in our personal consumer strategy and investments, which could adversely affect our business, reputation or financial results.
In connection with our proposed acquisition of Sound United, we announced an expansion in our business and product strategy to additionally focus on personal consumer products to integrate with our successful medical technology businesses. Further, we may introduce certain changes to our existing products or introduce new and unproven products. We do not have significant experience with consumer hardware products, which may adversely affect our ability to successfully develop and market these products and technologies and integrate them with our existing products and platforms. We expect this will be a complex, evolving, and long-term strategic initiative that will involve the development of new and emerging technologies, continued investment in medical technology and consumer hardware products, and collaboration with other companies, developers, partners and other participants. However, our personal consumer business may not develop in accordance with our vision and expectations, and market acceptance of features, products or services we build for the personal consumer business may be uncertain. We may be unsuccessful in our research and product development efforts, including if we are unable to develop relationships with key participants in the personal consumer business. Our new strategic efforts may also divert resources and management attention from other areas of our business. In addition, as our personal consumer business continues to evolve, we may be subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the United States and international jurisdictions, which we were not previously affected by, including in the areas of privacy, which may delay or impede the development of our products and services, increase our operating costs, require significant management time and attention, or otherwise harm our business. As a result of these or other factors, our personal consumer strategy and investments may not be successful in the foreseeable future, or at all, which could adversely affect our business, reputation, or financial results.
Our credit agreement contains certain covenants and restrictions that may limit our flexibility in operating our business.
Our credit agreement dated December 17, 2018 (Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and as a lender, and Bank of the West, as a lender (together, Lenders), contains various affirmative covenants and restrictions that limit our ability to engage in specified types of transactions, including:
•incurring specified types of additional indebtedness, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional debt or equity financing at the time needed or that such financing will be available on terms that are favorable or acceptable to us (including guarantees or other contingent obligations);
•paying dividends on, repurchasing or making distributions in respect of our common stock or making other restricted payments, subject to specified exceptions;
•making specified investments (including loans and advances);
•selling or transferring certain assets;
•creating certain liens;
•consolidating, merging, selling or otherwise disposing of all or substantially all of our assets; and
•entering into certain transactions with any of our affiliates.
In addition, under our Credit Facility, we are required to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other affirmative covenants. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and affirmative covenants could be affected by events beyond our control and, therefore, we cannot be assured that we will be able to continue to satisfy these requirements. A breach of any of these ratios or covenants could result in a default under our Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under our Credit Facility immediately due and payable, terminate all commitments to extend further credit and pursue legal remedies for recovery, all of which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. See Note 1615 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information relatedon our Credit Facility.
Our proposed new debt facility, which will be used to partially fund our pending acquisition of Sound United, may restrict our future operations, including our ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions. If we fail to comply with the covenants and other obligations under the proposed credit facility, the lender may be able to accelerate amounts owed under the facility.
In connection with the pending acquisition of Sound United, we recently received a commitment letter for a credit facility in the amount of $800 million and expect to secure this credit facility in the event the pending acquisition closes (the “New Debt Facility”). The New Debt Facility may contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may, unless waived by the lender, limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our long-term best interests, including restrictions on our ability to:
•Incur additional indebtedness;
•Incur liens;
•Merge, dissolve, liquidate, amalgamate, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our assets;
•Declare or pay certain dividends, payments or distribution or repurchase or redeem certain capital stock; and
•Make certain investments.
These restrictions could limit, potentially significantly, our operational flexibility and affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to execute our business strategy.
Further, if we do not achieve the anticipated benefits from the pending acquisition of Sound United, our ability to service our indebtedness may be adversely impacted. Even if we achieve the anticipated benefits from the pending acquisition, we may be required to raise substantial additional financing to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes. Our ability to arrange additional financing and make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness will depend on our future performance, which will be subject to general economic, financial, and business conditions as well as other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.
Risks Related to Our Stock
Concentration of ownership of our stock among our existing directors, executive officers and principal stockholders may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
As of January 1, 2022, our current directors and executive officers and their affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 9.5% of our outstanding stock. Subject to any fiduciary duties owed to our other stockholders under Delaware law, these stockholders may be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, and will have some control over our management and policies in their roles as stockholders. Some of these persons or entities may have interests that are different from yours. For example, these stockholders may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree or which are not in your best interests.
The concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of us, or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce the price of our stock.
In addition, these stockholders could use their voting influence to maintain our existing management and directors in office or support or reject other management and Board proposals that are subject to stockholder approval, such as amendments to our employee stock plans and approvals of significant financing transactions.
Our corporate documents and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving us that our stockholders may consider favorable. For example, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board to issue up to 5.0 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As a result, without further stockholder approval, our Board has the authority to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock, including pursuant to a stockholder rights plan. With these rights, preferred stockholders could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us. In addition, our certificate of incorporation provides for a staggered Board, whereby directors serve for three-year terms, with one-third of the directors coming up for reelection each year. A staggered Board will make it more difficult for a third-party to obtain control of our Board through a proxy contest, which may be a necessary step in an acquisition of us that is not favored by our Board.
We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third-party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of us. For purposes of these provisions, an “interested stockholder” generally means someone owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of ours that owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
Our bylaws provide that the state or federal courts located within the State of Delaware are the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.
Our bylaws provide that the state or federal courts located within the State of Delaware are the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or stockholders to our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or as to which the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, this choice of forum provision does not apply to (a) actions in which the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware concludes that an indispensable party is not subject to the jurisdiction of Delaware courts, or (b) actions in which a federal court has assumed exclusive jurisdiction to a proceeding. This choice of forum provision is not intended to apply to any actions brought under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds
favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees or stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees or stockholders.
Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provision in our bylaws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
General Risk Factors
We may experience significant fluctuations in our periodic financial results and may not maintain our current levels of profitability in the future.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Many of the countries in which we operate, including the U.S. and several of the members of the EU, have experienced and continue to experience uncertain economic conditions resulting from global as well as local factors. In addition, continuing uncertainty in the U.S. economy may result in continued inflationary pressures globally and in the U.S. in particular, which may contribute to future interest rate volatility.
Our business or financial results may be adversely impacted by these uncertain economic conditions, including: adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, tax laws or tax rates; inflation; contraction in the availability of credit in the marketplace due to legislation or other economic conditions, which may potentially impair our ability to access the capital markets on terms acceptable to us or at all; and the effects of government initiatives to manage economic conditions.
We are also unable to predict how changing global economic conditions or potential global health concerns such as the COVID-19 pandemic will affect our critical customers, suppliers and distributors. Any negative impact of the 2017 Tax Actsuch matters on our tax provision and tax rate.
Ifcritical customers, suppliers or distributors may also have an adverse impact on our operating results fail to meetof operations or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price could drop suddenly and significantly.financial condition. Our expense levels are based, in part, on our expectations regarding future revenue levels and are relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, if our revenue for a particular period was below our expectations, we would not be able to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that period. Any revenue shortfall would have a disproportionately negative effect on our operating results for the period.
In addition, the methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates and judgments, the impact of which could significantly affect our results of operations. See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” contained in Part I, Item 2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recent accounting changes related to our embedded leases within certain deferred equipment agreements have also resulted in the acceleration of the timing related to our recognition of revenue and expenses associated with certain equipment provided to customers at no up-front charge. Since we cannot control the timing of when our customers will request us to deliver such equipment, our revenue and costs with respect to leased equipment could vary substantially in any given quarter or year, which could further increase quarterly or annual fluctuations within our financial results.
Due to these and other factors, you should not rely on our results for any one quarter as an indication of our future performance.
Our If our operating results of operations could be harmed if we fail to effectively managemeet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our growthstock price could drop suddenly and significantly.
Future changes in accounting pronouncements and tax laws, or alternatively, our spending during economic downturns.
Our ability to offer our products and implement our business plan in evolving markets successfully requires an effective planning and management process. We must effectively manage our spending and operations to ensure our competitive position during economic downturns, and must preserve our future opportunities when the economy improves. A failure to manage our
spending and operations effectivelyinterpretation thereof, could disrupt our business and harm our operating results. A growth in sales, combined with the challenges of managing geographically dispersed operations, can place a significant strain on our management systems and resources, and growth in future operations could continue to place such a strain. The failure to manage our growth effectively could disrupt our business and harm our operating results.
Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies.
The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our reported results, of operations. Such methods, estimates and judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates and judgments could significantly affect our resultshistorical reporting of operations. See “Critical Accounting Estimates” containedprevious transactions.
New accounting pronouncements or taxation rules, and evolving interpretations thereof, have occurred and are likely to occur in the future. Future changes made by new accounting standards may apply prospectively or retrospectively, depending on the method of adoption, and may recast previously reported results. For additional information related to the impact of new accounting pronouncements, please see Note 2 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part II,IV, Item 715(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition, future changes to the U.S. tax code and its regulations could have a material impact on our effective tax rate and the implementation of these changes could require us to make substantial changes to our business practices, allocate resources, and increase our costs, which could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If we lose the services of our key personnel, or if we are unable to attract and retain other key personnel, we may not be able to manage our operations or meet our growth objectives.
We are highly dependent on our senior management, especially Joe Kiani, our Chief Executive Officer,CEO, and other key officers. We are also heavily dependent on our engineers and field sales team, including sales representatives and clinical specialists. Additionally, from time to time, someWe believe certain of our competitors with greater financial resources than us have targeted our key personnel for recruitment and will likely continue to do so in the future. In addition, we may hold stock options with an exercise price that is greater than our recent closing prices,experience employee turnover as a result of the ongoing “great resignation” occurring throughout the U.S. economy, which has impacted job market dynamics. New hires require training and take time before they achieve full productivity. New employees may minimize the retention valuenot become as productive as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of these options.qualified individuals. The loss of the services of members of our key personnel, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel in the future could prevent the implementation and completion of our objectives, including the development and introduction of our products. In general, our key personnel may terminate their employment at any time and for any reason without notice, unless the individual is a participant in our 2007 Severance Protection Plan, in which case the individual has agreed to provide us with six months’ notice if such individual decides to voluntarily resign. We do not maintain any “key person” life insurance policies with respect to any of our key personnel.
We are involved, and may become involved in the future, in disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings that, if adversely decided or settled, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are, and may in the future become, party to litigation, regulatory proceedings or other disputes. In general, claims made by or against us in disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings can be expensive and time consumingtime-consuming to bring or defend against, requiring us to expend significant resources and divert the efforts and attention of our management and other personnel from our business operations. These potential claims may include but are not limited to personal injury and class action lawsuits, intellectual property claims and regulatory investigations relating to the advertising and promotional claims about our products and employee claims against us based on, among other things, discrimination, harassment or wrongful termination. Any one of these claims, even those without merit, may divert our financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit the future performance of our operations. Any adverse determination against us in these proceedings, or even the allegations contained in the claims, regardless of whether they are ultimately found to be without merit, may also result in settlements, injunctions or damages that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes to government immigration regulations may materially affect our workforce and limit our supply of qualified professionals, or increase our cost of securing workers.
We recruit professionals on a global basis and must comply with the immigration laws in the countries in which we operate, including the U.S. Some of our employees are working under Masimo-sponsored temporary work visas, including H1-B visas. The H-1B visa classification enables U.S. employers to hire certain qualified foreign workers in positions that require an education at least equal to a four-year bachelor degree in the United States in specialty occupations such as engineering. Statutory law limits the number of new H1-B temporary work permit petitions that may be approved in a fiscal year,year. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the current U.S. immigration visa program may be significantly overhauled, and ifthe number of H1-B visas available, as well as the process to obtain them, may be subject to significant change. Any resulting changes to this visa program could impact our ability to recruit, hire and retain qualified skilled personnel. If we are unable to obtain H1-Bwork visas for our employees in sufficient quantities or at a sufficient rate for a significant period of time, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.
The subject of H1-B visas has recently become a topic of political discussion, and there are indications that the H1-B visa program may be significantly overhauled. If a new or revised visa program is implemented, there could be elements of any new or revised visa program that may impact our ability to recruit, hire and retain qualified skilled personnel, which could adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
The risks inherent in operating internationally, including the purchase, sale and the risksshipment of selling and shipping our products and purchasing our components and products internationallyacross international borders, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We currently derive a portionapproximately 33% of our net sales from international operations. For the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, approximately 31.6%, 29.9% and 29.7%, respectively, of our product revenue was derived from our international operations. In addition, we purchase a portion of our raw materials and components on thefrom international market.sources. The sale and shipment of our products across international borders, as well as the purchase of materials and components from international sources, subject us to extensive U.S. and foreign governmental trade regulations.regulations, including those related to duties, tariffs and conflict minerals. Compliance with such regulations is costly and we could be exposed to potentially significant penalties, fines and interest if we are found not to be in compliance with such regulations. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could impact us in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil and administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines and penalties, denial of export privileges, seizure of shipments, restrictions on certain business activities, and exclusion or debarment from government contracting. We have historically engaged in transactions with entities related to or located in countries subject to certain U.S. export restrictions. For example, we have had sales of medical products destined for Iran.
In addition, changes in policy in the U.S. and other countries regarding international trade, including import and export regulation and international trade agreements, could negatively impact our business. In recent years, the U.S. has imposed tariffs on goods imported from China and certain other countries, which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries. Changes or uncertainty in tariffs or further retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in response could affect the demand for our products and services, impact the competitive position of our products, prevent us from being able to sell products in certain countries or otherwise adversely impact our results of operations. The implementation of more restrictive trade policies, such as more detailed inspections, higher tariffs or new barriers to entry, could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although these activities have not been financially material to our business, financial condition or results of operations, and were undertaken in accordance with general licenses authorizing such activities issued by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, we may not be successful in ensuring compliance with limitations or restrictions on business in Iran or any other countries subject to economic sanctions and embargoes imposed by the United States. Also, the failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could result in the disruption of our shipping, manufacturing and sales activities. Any material decrease in our international sales would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2016, the United Kingdom (UK) held a referendum pursuant to which voters elected to leave the EU, commonly referred to as Brexit. As a result of UK voters’ election to leave the EU, the British government is expected to begin negotiating the terms of the UK’s future relationship with the EU. Although the long-term effects of Brexit will depend on any agreements the UK makes to retain access to the EU markets, Brexit has created additional uncertainties that may ultimately result in new regulatory costs and challenges for medical device companies and increased restrictions on imports and exports throughout Europe, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct and expand our operations in Europe and which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, Brexit may increase the possibility that other countries may decide to leave the EU in the future.
In addition, our international sales operations expose us and our representatives, agents and distributors to risks inherent in operating in foreign jurisdictions. These risks include, but are not limited to:
•the imposition of additional U.S. and foreign governmental controls or regulations;
•the imposition of costly and lengthy new export licensing requirements;
•a shortage of high-quality sales people and distributors;
•the loss of any key personnel thatwho possess proprietary knowledge, or who are otherwise important to our success in certain international markets;
•changes in duties and tariffs, license obligations and other non-tariff barriers to trade;
•the imposition of new trade restrictions;
•the imposition of restrictions on the activities of foreign agents, representatives and distributors;
scrutiny of•compliance with foreign tax authorities which could result in significant fines, penaltieslaws, regulations and additional taxes being imposed on us;requirements;
•pricing pressure that we may experience internationally;pressure;
•changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
•laws and business practices favoring local companies;
•political instability and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts;
•financial and civil unrest worldwide;
•outbreaks of illnesses, pandemics or other local or global health issues such as the Zika virus;issues;
•the inability to collect amounts paid by foreign government customers to our appointed foreign agents;
•longer payment cycles, increased credit risk and different collection remedies with respect to receivables; and
•difficulties in enforcing or defending intellectual property rights.
For example, during
The U.S. government initiated substantial changes in U.S. trade policy and U.S. trade agreements, including tariffs on certain foreign goods. In response to these tariffs, certain foreign governments instituted or are considering imposing tariffs on certain U.S. goods. In addition, the year ended December 30, 2017, we recorded a net charge of approximately $10.5 millionU.S. has negotiated new trade agreements that could impact us, including the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which went into force on July 1, 2020 and replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement. A trade war, trade barriers or other governmental actions related to arbitration proceedings that we initiated against a former foreign agent that we had appointed to enable us to participate in a foreign government tender. Althoughtariffs, international trade agreements, import or export restrictions or other trade policies could adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, customers, suppliers and/or the foreign government customer remitted payments for the products supplied by us toU.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, therefore, adversely affect our foreign agent, such agent did not remit such funds to us in accordance with the agency agreement. (See Note 17 to our accompanying consolidatedbusiness, financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a)condition and results of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on this matter.)operations.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from promising or making improper payments to non-U.S.foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining an advantage to secure or retain business. Because of the predominance of government-sponsored health carehealthcare systems
around the world, many of our customer relationships outside of the U.S. are with governmental entities and are therefore subject to such anti-bribery laws. OurWe have adopted policies mandateand practices that help us ensure compliance with these anti-bribery laws.
We are also subject to certain other laws However, such policies and regulations affecting our international operations, including laws and regulations such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, which, among other things, provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with the applicable classification and other requirements. There have been recent public statements by members of the U.S. Congress, President Trump and his administration regarding their plans to make substantial changes to U.S. trade policy, including renegotiating NAFTA and imposing border taxes on imports to the U.S. Depending on the types of changes, demand for our foreign manufacturing facilities could be reduced and operating costs in our U.S. manufacturing facilities could be increased, which could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. Moreover, any retaliatory actions by other countries where we operate or currently manufacture products in response to any changes in U.S. trade policy could also negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
Personal privacy and data security have become significant issues in the United States, Europe and in many other jurisdictions where we offer our products. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations, and changes in the interpretation of existing laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could result in increased regulation, cost of compliance and limitations on data collection, use, disclosure and transfer. For example, in October 2015, the Court of Justice of the EU ruled that the US-EU Safe Harbor framework that had been in place since 2000, which allowed companies to meet certain European legal requirements for the transfer of personal data from the European Economic Area to the United States, was invalid. In July 2016, a new data transfer framework referred to as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield was adopted, whichpractice may provide a new mechanism for companies to transfer EU personal data to the U.S. While we have adopted the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework for the transfer of personal data from the EU to the U.S., our means for transferring personal data from the EU may not be adopted by all of our customers and suppliers and may be subject to legal challenge or risk of enforcement actions by data protection authorities. In addition, in April 2016, the EU approved a new data protection regulation, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will become effective in May 2018. The GDPR will include new operational requirements for companies that receive or process personal data of EU residents, as well as significant penalties for non-compliance. Complying with the GDPR may cause us to incur substantial operational costs or require us to change ourinvest in additional monitoring resources or forgo certain business practices. Despite our training andopportunities in order to ensure global compliance programs, our internal control policies and procedures may not always protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees or agents. Violationswith these laws.
Our operations may be adversely impacted by our exposure to risks related to foreign currency exchange rates.
We market our products in certain foreign markets through our subsidiaries and other international distributors. As a result, events that result in global economic uncertainty could significantly affect our results of operations in the form of gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and potential devaluation of the local currencies of our customers relative to the U.S. Dollar. For example, the announcement of Brexit caused significant volatility in global economic markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations that resulted in the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to certain other foreign currencies in which we conduct business.
While a majority of our sales are transacted in U.S. Dollars, some of our sales agreements with foreign customers provide for payment in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, when converted into U.S. Dollars, can vary depending on averagethe approximation of the exchange rates applied during a respective period. Similarly, certain of our foreign sales support subsidiaries transact business in their respective country’s local currency, which is also their functional currency. In addition, certain production costs related to our manufacturing operations in Mexico are denominated in Mexican Pesos. As a result, expenses of these foreign subsidiaries and certain production costs, when converted into U.S. Dollars, can vary depending on average monthly exchange rates during a respective period.
We are also exposed to foreign currency gains or losses on outstanding foreign currency denominated receivables and payables.payables, as well as cash deposits. When converted to U.S. Dollars, these receivables, payables and payablescash deposits can vary depending on the monthly exchange rates at the end of the period. In addition, certain intercompany transactions may give rise to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses based on the currency underlying such intercompany transactions. Accordingly, our operating results are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
The balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date and the statements of operations and cash flows are translated into U.S. Dollars using an approximation of the average monthly exchange raterates applicable during the period. Any foreign currency exchange gain or loss as a result of translating the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar is included in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
We currently do not hedge our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Should we decideAs a result, changes in the future to hedge suchforeign exchange rate risk by entering into forward contracts, these contracts may not mitigate the potential adverse impact on our financial results due to the variability of timing and amount of payments under these contracts. In addition, our failure to sufficiently hedge, forecast or otherwise manage such foreign currency risks properlyrates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For additional information related to our foreign currency exchange rate risk, please see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks in Part I, Item 3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We currently manufacture our products at severala limited number of locations and any disruption to, expansion of, or changes in trade programs related to oursuch manufacturing operations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely on manufacturing facilities in MexicaliCalifornia, New Hampshire and San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico; Irvine, California; Hudson, New Hampshire; and Danderyd, Sweden. These facilities and the manufacturing equipment we use to produce our products would be difficult to replace and could require substantial time to repair. Our facilitiesMexico that may be affected by natural or man-made disasters. Earthquakes are of particular significance since some of our facilities are located in an earthquake-prone area.areas. We are also vulnerable to damage from other types of disasters, including power loss, attacks from extremist or terrorist organizations, epidemics, communication failures, fire, floods and similar events. InOur facilities and the event thatmanufacturing equipment we use to produce our products would be difficult to replace and could require substantial time to repair if significant damage were to result from any of these occurrences.
If one of our manufacturing facilities iswas affected by a natural or man-made disaster, we would be forced to rely on third-party manufacturers if we could not shift production to our other manufacturing facilities. Furthermore, our insurance for damage to our property and the disruption of our business from casualties may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If the lease for any of our leased facilities is terminated, we are unable to renew any of our leases or we are otherwise forced to seek alternative facilities, or if we voluntarily expand one or more of our manufacturing operations to new locations, we may incur additional transition costs and we may experience a disruption in the supply of our products until the new facilities are available and operating. Additionally, we have occasionally experienced seasonality among our manufacturing workforce, and if we continue to experience such seasonality or other workforce shortages or otherwise have issues retaining employees or contractors at suchour manufacturing facilities, we may not be able to meet our customers’ demands.
Our twoglobal manufacturing and distribution are dependent upon our manufacturing facilities in Mexico, and the expedient importation of raw materials and exportation of finished goods between the U.S. and Mexico. Undue delays and/or closures of the proximal cross-border transit facilities, or any restrictions by the U.S. federal administration related to the movement of goods across the U.S. and Mexico border, may adversely affect our ability to fulfill orders and supply our healthcare provider customers with essential replenishment supplies, as well as adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
In addition, our manufacturing facilities in Mexico are authorized to operate under the Mexican Maquiladora or IMMEX(IMMEX) program. The IMMEX program allows us to import certain items from the U.S. into Mexico duty-free, provided that such items, after processing, are exported from Mexico within a stipulated timeframe. Maquiladora status, which is renewed periodically, is subject to various restrictions and requirements, including compliance with the terms of the IMMEX program and other local regulations, which have become stricter in recent years.regulations. Failure to comply with the IMMEX program regulations, including any changes thereto, could increase our manufacturing costs and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition becausecondition.
If we do not accurately forecast customer demand, we may hold suboptimal inventory levels that could for example, be required to pay tax on material imported into Mexico. In addition, if the Mexican government adopts changes to the IMMEX program or if our Mexican facilities cease to qualify for Maquiladora status,adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected as our manufacturing costs in Mexico would increase.operations.
We also purchase materials and components from international sources. Any disruption in the supply of such materials, including transportation or port delays, could adversely impact our manufacturing operations. Disruptions may also occur as a result of local, regional and worldwide health risks. Such disruptions may include the inability to manufacture and distribute our products due to the direct effects of illness on individuals or due to constraints on supply and distribution that may result from either voluntary or government imposed restrictions.
Any disruption or delay at such manufacturing facilities, any expansion of our operations to additional locations, or any changes in market conditions could create operational hurdles and have an adverse impact on our ability to produce sufficient inventory of our products or may require us to incur additional expenses in order to produce sufficient inventory, depending on changes in product demand. Furthermore, ifIf we are unable to meet the demand of our customers, our customers may cancel orders or purchase products from our competitors, which could adversely affectreduce our business, financial conditionrevenue and results of operations.gross profit margin. Conversely, if product demand decreases, we may be unable to timely adjust our manufacturing cost structure, resulting in excess capacity, which would lower gross product margins. Similarly, if we are unable to forecast demand accurately, we could be required to record charges related to excess or obsolete inventory, which would also lower our gross margin.
Our suppliers may not supply us with a sufficient amount of materials and components or materials and components of adequate quality.
We depend on certain sole or limited source suppliers for key materials and components of our noninvasive patient monitoring solutions, and if we are unable to obtain these materials and components on a timely basis, we will not be able to deliver our noninvasive patient monitoring solutions to customers. Also, we cannot guarantee that any of the materials or components that we purchase, if available at all, will be of adequate quality and at acceptable price levels. From time to time, there are industry-wide shortages of several electronic components that we use in our noninvasive blood constituent patient monitoring solutions. We may also experience price increases for materials or components, with no guarantee that such increases can be passed along to our customers.
We may experience delays in production of our products if we fail to identify alternate vendors for materials and components, if any parts supply is interrupted or reduced or if there is a significant increase in production costs, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we rely on third party manufacturers to supply some of our products and components, including digital signal processor chips and analog to digital converter chips.
Manufacturing problems may occur with these and other outside sources, as a supplier may fail to develop and supply products and components to us on a timely basis, or may supply us with products and components that do not meet our quality, quantity and cost requirements. If any of these problems occur, we may be unable to obtain substitute sources for these products and components on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us, which could harm our ability to manufacture our own products and components profitably or on time.
If we fail to comply with the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or if we fail to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, our business, results of operations and financial condition and investors’ confidence in us could be materially and adversely affected.
As a public company, weWe are required to comply with the periodic reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including preparing annual reports, quarterly reports and current reports. Our failure to prepare and disclose thiscertain information under the Exchange Act as amended, in a timely manner and meet our reporting obligations in their entirety, and our failure to do so could subject us to penalties under federal securities laws and regulations of The NASDAQNasdaq Stock Market LLC, expose us to lawsuits and restrict our ability to access financing on favorable terms, or at all.
In addition, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), we are required to evaluate and provide a management report on our systems of internal control over financial reporting, and our independent registered public accounting firm is required to attest to our internal control over financial reporting. During the course of the evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify areas requiring improvement and may be required to design enhanced processes and controls to address issues identified through this review. This could result in significant delays and costs to us and require us to divert substantial resources, including management time, from other activities. In addition, ifIf we fail to maintain the adequacy of ouradequate internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. Any failure to maintain compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or any material weakness in our internal control environment could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business, negatively impact the trading price of our stock, and adversely affect investors’ confidence in our company and our ability to access capital markets for financing.
Changing laws and increasingly complex corporate governance and public disclosure requirements could have an adverse effect on our business and operating results.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, the UK Modern Slavery Act and new regulations issued by the SEC and The NASDAQNasdaq Stock Market LLC, have created, and will create, additional compliance requirements for companies such as ours.us. For example, the Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions regarding, among other things, advisory votes on named executive officer compensation and “conflict minerals” reporting. Complying with these rules and regulations has increased and will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may also need to hire additional employees or engage outside consultants to comply with these requirements, which will increase our costs and expenses. To maintain high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, we have invested in, and intend to continue to invest in, reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards.
For example, the Dodd-Frank Act includes provisions regarding “conflict minerals” (generally tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries (the DRC region), and in June 2016, the EU adopted its own regulation on conflict minerals that covers the sourcing of conflict minerals from anywhere in the world. The provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act require us to undertake comprehensive due diligence to determine whether conflict minerals used in our products, including any portion of our products manufactured by third parties, financed or benefited armed groups in the DRC region. The rules also require us to file conflict mineral reports with the SEC annually. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs to comply with these rules, including costs related to determining the source of origin of conflict minerals used in our products. Given the complexity of our supply chain, we may face difficulties if our suppliers are unwilling or unable to verify the origin of all conflict minerals used in our products.
Furthermore, our ongoing compliance with these rules could affect the pricing, sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of our products. We may also encounter challenges with our customers and stockholders if we are unable to certify that our products are free of conflict minerals. To maintain high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure, we have invested in, and intend to continue to invest in, reasonably necessary resources to comply with such evolving standards. These investments have resulted in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities and may continue to do so in the future.
In addition, stockholder litigation surrounding executive compensation and disclosure of executive compensation has increased with the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act. Furthermore, in recent years, our stockholders havemay not approvedcontinue to approve our advisory vote on named executive officer compensation that is required to bebeing voted on by our stockholders annually pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. If we are involved in a lawsuit related to compensation matters or any other matters not covered by our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, we may incur significant expenses in defending against such lawsuits, or be subject to significant fines or required to take significant remedial actions, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If product liability claims are brought against us, we could face substantial liability and costs.
Our products are predominantly used in patient care and expose us to product liability claims and product recalls, including, but not limited to, those that may arise from unauthorized off-label use, which is use of a device in a manner outside the indications for use cleared by the FDA, malfunctions, design flaws or manufacturing defects related to our products or the use of our products with incompatible components or systems. In addition, as we continue to expand our product portfolio, we may enter or create new markets, including consumer markets, that may expose us to additional product liability risks. For example, with the acquisition of TNI®in April 2014, an amended putative class action complaint was filed against us allegingMarch 2020, we added softFlow® technology to our product liabilityportfolio. While this technology provides efficient, quiet and negligence claims in connection with pulse oximeters that we modified and provided at the requestcomfortable respiratory support to patients, it may present increased risk of the study investigators for use in a randomized trial at the University of Alabama. In August 2015, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of Masimo, rejecting the plaintiffs’ claims. The plaintiffs have appealed the Court’s decision. The appellate hearing before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals was held on December 13, 2016. On July 7, 2017, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals (Eleventh Circuit) issued a Certificationinfection to the Supreme Court of Alabama seeking guidance on a legal question. In that Certification, the Eleventh Circuit stated that the plaintiffs failed to establish that participation in the clinical study caused any injuries, and that the negligence, negligence per se, breach of fiduciary duty, and products liability claims, which includes the claims currently alleged against us, were properly dismissed. While we believe we have good and substantial defenses to the claims, there is no guarantee that we will ultimately prevail. In addition, wecaregivers.
We cannot be certain that our product liability insurance will be sufficient to cover any or all damages or claims asserted in this case or any otherfor product liability claims that may be brought against us in the future. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain or maintain insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or in adequate amounts to protect us against any product liability claims.
Additionally, the laws and regulations regarding product liability are constantly evolving, both through the passage of new legislation at the state and federal levels and through new interpretations of existing legislation. For example, in February 2017, the Washington Supreme Court determined that, under the Washington Product Liability Act, medical device manufacturers have a duty to warn hospitals of any potential risks posed by their products. As the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding product liability change, we may become exposed to greater liability than currently anticipated.
Any losses that we may suffer from product liability claims, and the effect that any product liability litigation may have upon the reputation and marketability of our technology and products, together with the corresponding diversion of the attention of our key employees, may subject us to significant damages and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Future acquisitions of businesses could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations if we fail to integrate the acquired businesses successfully into our existing operations or if we discover previously undisclosed liabilities.
We have acquired six businesses since our inception and we may acquire additional businesses in the future, which may be larger in magnitude than our previous acquisitions. Successful acquisitions depend upon our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate suitable acquisitions and to obtain any necessary financing. Future acquisitions may require equity financing, either of which could be dilutive to our existing stockholders and our earnings per share, or debt financing, which Even if we complete acquisitions, we may experience:
payment of above-market prices for acquisitions and incurring higher than anticipated acquisition costs;
a need to issue shares of common stock as part of the acquisition price or a need to issue stock options or other equity to newly-hired employees of target companies, resulting in dilution of ownership to our existing stockholders;
reduced profitability as future acquisitions may not result in accretive contributions to the business over either the short-term or the long-term;
difficulties in integrating any acquired companies, personnel, products and other assets into our existing business;
delays in realizing the benefits of the acquired company, products or other assets;
regulatory challenges;
cybersecurity and compliance related issues;
diversion of our management’s time and attention from other business concerns;
limited or no direct prior experience in new markets or countries we may enter;
unanticipated issues dealing with unfamiliar suppliers, service providers or other collaborators of the acquired company;
higher costs of integration than we anticipated;
write-downs or impairments of goodwill or other intangible assets associated with the acquired company;
difficulties in retaining key employees of the acquired business who are necessary to manage these acquisitions;
negative impacts on our relationships with our employees, clients or collaborators;
litigation or other claims in connection with the acquisition; and
changes in the overall financial model as certain acquired companies may have a different revenue, gross profit margin or operating expense profile.
Further, our ability to benefit from future acquisitions depends on our ability to successfully conduct due diligence, negotiate acceptable acquisition terms, evaluate prospective acquisitions and bring acquired technologies and/or products to market at acceptable margins and operating expense levels. Our failure in any of these tasks could result in unforeseen liabilities associated with an acquired company, acquiring a company on unfavorable terms or selecting and eventually acquiring a suboptimal acquisition target. We may also discover deficiencies in internal controls, data adequacy and integrity, product quality, regulatory compliance and product liabilities that we did not uncover prior to our acquisition of such businesses, which could result in us becoming subject to penalties or other liabilities. If we do not achieve the anticipated benefits of an acquisition as rapidly as expected, or at all, investors or analysts may not perceive the same benefits of the acquisition as we do. If these risks materialize, our stock price could be materially adversely affected. Any difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses or unexpected penalties or liabilities in connection with such businesses could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur environmental and personal injury liabilities related to certain hazardous materials used in our operations.
Certain manufacturing processes for our products may involve the storage, use, generation and disposal of certain hazardous materials and wastes, including silicone adhesives, solder and solder paste, sealants, epoxies and various solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone and isopropyl alcohol. As a result, we are subject to stringent federal, statecertain environmental laws, as well as certain other laws and local laws relating toregulations, that restrict the protection of the environment, including those governing the use, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and wastes.that can be used in our products or in our manufacturing processes. For example, products that we sell in Europe are subject to regulation in the EU markets under the Restriction of the Use of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). RoHS prohibits companies from selling products that contain certain hazardous materials including lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers, in EU member states. In addition, the EU’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals Directive also restricts substances of very high concern in products. Compliance with such regulations may be costly and, therefore, we may be forced to incur significant costs to comply with environmentalthese laws and regulations.
From time to time,In addition, new regulations are enacted and it is difficult to anticipate how such regulations will be implemented and enforced. We continue to evaluate the necessary steps for compliance with environmental regulations as they are enacted. Future environmental laws may significantlyfurther affect how we manufacture our operations by, for example, requiring our manufacturing processes toproducts, how we use, generate or dispose of hazardous materials and waste, or further affect what materials can be altered or requiring us to use different types of materialsused in manufacturing our products. Any required changes to our operations or products may increase our manufacturing costs, detrimentally impact the performance of our products, add greater testing lead-times for product introductions or have other similar effects.
In connection with our research and manufacturing activities, we use, and our employees may be exposed to, materials that are hazardous to human health, safety or the environment. These materials and various wastes resulting from their use are stored at our facility pending ultimate use and disposal.
The risk of accidental injury to our employees or contamination from these materials cannot be eliminated. In the event of such an accident,eliminated, and we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any suchthe related liability for which could exceed our reserves. Although we maintain general liability insurance, weWe do not specifically insure against environmental liabilities. If an enforcement action were to occur, our reputation and our business and financial condition may be harmed, even if we were to prevail or settle the action on terms favorable to us.
We rely significantly on information technology and any failure, inadequacy, interruption or security lapse of that technology, including any cybersecurity incidents, could harm our ability to operate our business effectively.
Increased global cybersecurity vulnerabilities, cybersecurity threats and more sophisticated and targeted cybersecurity attacks pose a risk to the security of Masimo’s and our customers’, partners’, suppliers’ and third-party service providers’ products, systems and networks, andincluding the confidentiality, availability and integrity of any underlying information and data.data, and those of our customers, partners, suppliers and third-party service providers. Our ability to effectively manage and maintain our internal business information, and to ship products to customers and invoice them on a timely basis, depends significantly on our enterprise resource planning system and other information systems.
Portions of our information technology systems may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with ongoing
systems implementation work. In addition, interfaces between our products and our customers’ computer networknetworks could provide additional opportunities for cybersecurity attacks on us and our customers. The techniques used to attack computer systems are sophisticated, change frequently and may originate from less regulated and remote areas of the world. Cybersecurity attacks in particular are evolving and include, but are not limited to,to: threats, malicious software, ransomware, attempts to gain unauthorized access to data and other electronic security breaches that could lead to disruptions in systems, misappropriation of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data. As a result, there can be no assurance that our protective measures will prevent or detect security breaches that could have a significant impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
The failure of these systems to operate or integrate effectively with other internal, customer, supplier or third-party service provider systems and to protect the underlying information technology system and data integrity, including from cyber-attacks, intrusions or other breaches or unauthorized access of these systems, or any failure by us to remediate any such attacks or breaches, may also result in damage to our reputation or competitiveness, delays in product fulfillment and reduced efficiency of our operations, and could require significant capital investments to remediate any such failure, problem or breach, all of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating results may be adversely affected by unfavorable economicDiscontinuation, reform or replacement of LIBOR and market conditions.
Manyother benchmark rates, or uncertainty related to the potential for any of the countriesforegoing, may adversely affect our business.
The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced in which we operate, including2017 that it intends to phase out the U.S. and severalLondon Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) by the end of the members of the EU, have experienced and continue to experience uncertain economic conditions resulting from global as well as local factors, such as Brexit.2023. In addition, continuing strength and growthother regulators have suggested reforming or replacing other benchmark rates. The discontinuation, reform or replacement of LIBOR or any other benchmark rates may have an unpredictable impact on contractual mechanics in the U.S. economy is raisingcredit markets or cause disruption to the probabilitybroader financial markets. Uncertainty as to the nature of inflationary pressures and futuresuch potential discontinuation, reform or replacement may also negatively impact interest rate hikes that have not been experiencedexpense related to borrowings under our Credit Facility. Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest, at our election, either at the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the U.S. for more than a decade.

We may in the marketplace duefuture pursue amendments to legislationour Credit Facility to provide for a transition mechanism or other economic conditions, which may potentially impair our ability to access the capital markets on terms acceptable to us or at all; and the effectsreference rate in anticipation of government initiatives to manage economic conditions.
In addition,LIBOR’s discontinuation, but we cannot predict how future economic conditions will affect our critical customers, suppliers and distributors and any negative impact on our critical customers, suppliers or distributors may also have an adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
We may experience conflicts of interest with respect our Chief Executive Officer’s role in the Patient Safety Movement Foundation.
Joe Kiani, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, founded the Patient Safety Movement Foundation in 2013 with the aim of eliminating the third leading cause of death in the U.S., preventable deaths due to medical errors. While reception to his work in this area has been high and great progress is being made, conflicts of interest issues may arise between our business and customers and the objectives of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. For example, one of the objectives of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation is to request that hospitals implement Actionable Patient Safety Solutions to overcome some of the leading patient safety challenges that hospitals currently face. Some hospitals and other healthcare providers may disagree with the Patient Safety Movement Foundation’s recommendations or may determine that these steps and other actions encouraged by the Patient Safety Movement Foundation may not be practicable orable to reach agreement with our Lenders on any such amendments. As a result, additional financing to replace any then-outstanding LIBOR-based debt may be too costlyunavailable, more expensive or burdensome to implement. Although Mr. Kiani’s role inrestricted by the Patient Safety Movement Foundation is separate from his role as our President and Chief Executive Officer, hospitals and healthcare providers that do not agree with the actions or recommendationsterms of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation may nonetheless disfavor Masimo products, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Stocksuch outstanding indebtedness.
Our stock price may be volatile, and your investment in our stock could suffer a decline in value.
There has been and could continue to be significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of equity securities, which is often unrelated to the financial performance of the companies issuing the securities. These broad market fluctuations may negatively affect the market price of our stock. During the year ended December 30, 2017,For example, our closing stock price ranged from $208.49 to $303.29 per share from $67.40January 3, 2021 to $104.46 per share. You may not be ableJanuary 1, 2022. Factors contributing to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them due to fluctuations in the market price of our stock caused by changes inprice volatility may include our operatingfinancial performance, or prospectsas well as broader economic, political and other factors.
market factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the other risk factors previously discussed above,in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, there are many other factors that we may not be able to control that could have a significant effect on our stock price. These include, but are not limited to:
•actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or future prospects;
•our announcements or our competitors’ announcements of new products;
•the public’s reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
•strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;
•new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business;
•changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
•changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
•developments regarding our patents or proprietary rights or those of our competitors;
•ongoing legal proceedings;
•our inability to raise additional capital as needed;
•concerns or allegations as to the safety or efficacy of our products;
•changes in financial markets or general economic conditions, including the effects of recession or slow economic growth in the U.S. and abroad;
•effects of public health crises, epidemics and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
•sales of stock by us or members of our management team, our Board of Directors (Board) or certain institutional stockholders; and
•changes in stock market analyst recommendations or earnings estimates regarding our stock, other comparable companies or our industry generally.
Concentration of ownership among our existing directors, executive officers and principal stockholdersTherefore, you may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.
As of December 30, 2017, our current directors and executive officers and their affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 11.9% of our outstanding stock. Subject to any fiduciary duties owed to our other stockholders under Delaware law, these stockholders maynot be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, and will have some control over our management and policies. Some of these personsresell your shares at or entities may have interests that are different from yours. For example, these stockholders may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree or which are not in your best interests. The concentration of ownership could delay or prevent a change in control of us, or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduceabove the price of our stock. In addition, these stockholders could use their voting influence to maintain our existing management and directors in office or support or reject other management and Board proposals that are subject to stockholder approval, such as amendments to our employee stock plans and approvals of significant financing transactions.you paid for them.
Our investors could experience substantial dilution of their investments as a result of subsequent exercises of our outstanding options, vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance stock units (PSUs), or the grant of future equity awards by us.
As of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, approximately 13.810.6 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plans, of which approximately 7.03.0 million shares were subject to options outstanding at such date at a weighted-average exercise price of $36.26$81.38 per share, approximately 2.72.9 million shares were subject to outstanding RSUs, approximately 0.20.3 million shares were subject to outstanding PSUs and approximately 3.94.4 million shares were available for future awards under our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Over the past 1236 months, we have experienced higher rates of stock option exercises compared to many earlier periods, and this trend may continue. To the extent outstanding options are exercised or outstanding RSUs or PSUs vest, our existing stockholders may incur dilution.
We rely on equity awards to motivate current employees and to attract new employees. The grant of future equity awards by us to our employees and other service providers may further dilute our stockholders.
Future resales of our stock, including those by our insiders and a few investment funds, may cause our stock price to decline.
A significant portion of our outstanding shares are held by our directors, our executive officers and a few investment funds. Resales by these stockholders of a substantial number of such shares, announcements of any proposed resale of substantial amounts of our stock or the perception that substantial resales may be made, could significantly reduce the market price of our stock. Some of our directors and executive officers have entered into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans pursuant to which they have arranged to sell shares of our stock from time to time in the future. Generally, these sales require public filings. Actual or potential sales by these insiders, including those under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, could be interpreted by the market as an indication that the insider has lost confidence in our stock and reduce the market price of our stock.
We have registered and expect to continue to register shares reserved under our equity plans pursuant to Registration Statements on Form S-8. All shares issued pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 can be freely sold in the public market upon
issuance, subject to restrictions on our affiliates under Rule 144. If a large number of these shares are sold in the public market, the sales could reduce the trading price of our stock.
Our corporate documents and Delaware law contain provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition involving us that our stockholders may consider favorable. For example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board to issue up to 5.0 million shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As a result, without further stockholder approval, our Board has the authority to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock, including pursuant to a stockholder rights plan. With these rights, preferred stockholders could make it more difficult for a third-party to acquire us. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for a staggered board of directors, whereby directors serve for three year terms, with one-third of the directors coming up for reelection each year. A staggered Board will make it more difficult for a third-party to obtain control of our Board through a proxy contest, which may be a necessary step in an acquisition of us that is not favored by our Board.
We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three years without special approval, which could discourage a third-party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change in control of us. For purposes of these provisions, an “interested stockholder” generally means someone owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of ours that owned 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three years, subject to certain exceptions as described in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
We may elect not to declare cash dividends on our stock, may elect to only pay dividends on an infrequent or irregular basis, or may elect not to make any additional stock repurchases. As a result, any return on your investment may be limited to the value of our stock. In addition, the payment of any future dividends or the repurchase of our stock might limit our ability to pursue other growth opportunities.
Our Board may from time to time declare, and we may pay, dividends on our outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided bypermitted under applicable law. However, we may elect to retain all future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business, rather than paying cash dividends on our stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, our Credit Facility may limit our ability to pay cash dividends, repurchase our common stock or make other distributions to stockholders. Any payment of cash dividends on our stock will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our results of operations, earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, business prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board. In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be limited or subject to the lender’s consent under our New Debt Facility. In the event our Board declares any dividends, there is no assurance with respect to the amount, timing or frequency of any such dividends.
In September 2015, our Board authorized a stock repurchase program, whereby we may purchase up to 5.0 million shares of our common stock over a period of up to three years. As of December 30, 2017, approximately 2.1 million shares remained available for repurchase under this program. Any repurchase of our common stock under the stock repurchase plan authorized by our Board in October 2021 (2021 Repurchase Program) will be at the discretion of a committee comprised of our Chief Executive OfficerCEO and Chief Financial Officer, and will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, results of operations, capital requirements, financial conditions, available capital from operations or other sources and the market price of our common stock. Therefore, there is no assurance with respect to the amount, price or timing of any such repurchases. We may elect to retain all future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business, rather than repurchasing additional outstanding shares. For additional information related to our 2021 Repurchase Program, please see Note 17 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In the event we pay dividends, or make any stock repurchases in the future, our ability to finance any material expansion of our business, including through acquisitions, investments or increased capital spending, or to fund our operations, may be limited. In addition, any repurchases we may make in the future may not prove to be at optimal prices. Our Board may modify or amend ourthe 2021 Repurchase Program, or adopt a new stock repurchase program, at any time at its discretion without stockholder approval.
Environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) regulations, global climate change, corporate citizenship and related matters/provisions may make our supply chain more complex, and our reporting of such matters and may adversely affect our business. There is an increasing focus on the governance of environmental and social risks. Our customers and distributors have adopted, or may adopt, procurement policies that include ESG provisions that their suppliers or manufacturers must comply with, or they may seek to include such provisions in their terms and conditions. An increasing number of participants in the medical device industry are also joining voluntary ESG groups or organizations. These ESG provisions and initiatives are subject to change, can be unpredictable, and may be difficult and expensive for us to comply with, given the complexity of our supply chain and the outsourced manufacturing of certain components of our products. If we are unable to comply, or are unable to cause our suppliers to comply, with such policies or provisions, a customer may cease purchasing products from us, and may take legal action against us, which could harm our reputation, revenue and results of operations.
Further, increased public awareness and concern regarding global climate change may result in new or enhanced legal requirements. There continues to be a lack of consistent climate legislation, which creates economic and regulatory uncertainty. Such uncertainty may have an impact on our business, from the demand for our customers’ products to our costs of compliance in the manufacturing and servicing of our customers’ products, all of which may impact our results of operations. In addition, climate change initiatives and legislation could also disrupt our operations by impacting the availability and cost of materials within our supply chain, and could also increase insurance and other operating costs.
Investors, stockholders, customers, suppliers and other third parties are increasingly focusing on ESG and corporate social responsibility endeavors and reporting and transparency. Certain institutional investors, investment funds, other influential investors, customers, suppliers and other third parties are also increasingly focused on ESG practices. Companies that do not adapt to or comply with the evolving investor or stakeholder expectations and standards, or which are perceived to have not responded appropriately, may suffer from reputational damage and result in the business, financial condition and/or stock price of a company being materially and adversely affected. Further, this increased focus on ESG issues may result in new regulations and/or third-party requirements that could adversely impact our business, or certain shareholders reducing or eliminating their holdings of our stock. Additionally, an allegation or perception that we have not taken sufficient action in these areas could negatively harm our reputation.
We are subject to recently enacted state laws in California that require gender and diversity quotas for boards of directors of public companies headquartered in California.
In September 2018, California enacted Senator Bill 826 (SB 826), which generally requires public companies with principal executive offices in California to have at least two female directors on its board of directors if the company has at least five directors, and at least three female directors on its board of directors if the company has at least six directors.
Additionally, on September 30, 2020, California enacted Assembly Bill 979 (AB 979), which generally requires public companies with principal executive offices in California to include specified numbers of directors from “underrepresented communities”. A director from an “underrepresented community” means a director who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, Alaska Native, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. By December 31, 2021, each public company with principal executive offices in California was required to have at least one director from an underrepresented community. By December 31, 2022, a public company with more than four but fewer than nine directors will be required to have a minimum of two directors from underrepresented communities, and a public company with nine or more directors will need to have a minimum of three directors from underrepresented communities.
We cannot assure that we can recruit, attract and/or retain qualified members of the board and meet gender and diversity quotas as required by SB 826 or AB 979, and our board of directors does not currently satisfy the quota required under SB 826. A failure to comply with either SB 826 or AB 979 could result in fines from the California Secretary of State, with a $100,000 fine for the first violation and a $300,000 fine for each subsequent violation of either law, and our reputation may be adversely affected.

We expect to fund the 2021 Repurchase Program through our available cash, cash expected to be generated from future operations and other potential sources of capital. The 2021 Repurchase Program can be carried out at the discretion of a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) through open market purchases, one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, block trades and in privately negotiated transactions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read this discussion together with the financial statements, related notes and other financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion may contain predictions, estimates and other forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under Item 1A—“Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future performance suggested below.
Executive Overview
We are a global medical technology company that develops, manufactures and markets a variety of noninvasive monitoring technologies.technologies and hospital automation™ solutions. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of patient care. Our patient monitoring solutions generally incorporate a monitor or circuit board, proprietary single-patient use or reusable sensors, software and/or cables. We provide our products to hospitals, emergency medical service (EMS) providers, home care by taking noninvasive monitoring to new sitesproviders, long-term care facilities, physician offices, veterinarians and applications™.consumers through our direct sales force, distributors and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) partners. We invented Masimo SET®, which provides the capabilities ofwere incorporated in California in May 1989 and reincorporated in Delaware in May 1996.
Our core business is Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion®™ pulse oximetry, to address the primary limitations of conventionalknown as Masimo Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®) pulse oximetry. Pulse oximetry isOur product offerings have expanded significantly over the noninvasive measurement of the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood, or the blood that delivers oxygenyears to the body’s tissues, and pulse rate. Pulse oximetry is one of the most common measurements made in and out of hospitals around the world. Masimo SET® has been validated in over 100 independent clinical studies and is the only pulse oximetry technology we are aware of that has been proven to help clinicians detect critical congenital heart disease in newborns, reduce retinopathy of prematurity in neonates, and decrease intensive care unit transfers and rapid response activations on the general floor.
After introducing Masimo SET®, we have continued to innovate by introducing noninvasive measurements beyond arterial blood oxygen saturation level and pulse rate, which create new market opportunities in both the hospital and non-hospital care settings. We believe our Masimo rainbow SET™ platform, which utilizes Masimo SET® and both licensed and proprietary rainbow® technologies, includes the first devices cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to noninvasively and continuously monitor multiple measurements that previously required invasive or complicated procedures. SpCO®, our noninvasive carboxyhemoglobin parameter, allows measurement of carbon monoxide levels in the blood. Carbon monoxide is the most common cause of poisoning in the world. SpMet®, our noninvasive methemoglobin sensor, allows for the measurement of methemoglobin levels in the blood. Methemoglobin in the blood leads to a dangerous condition known as methemoglobinemia, which occurs as a reaction to some common drugs used in hospitals and outpatient procedures. Our PVi® parameter measures dynamic changes in perfusion index (Pi) during the respiratory cycle and can assist clinicians with fluid administration. RPVi™ is a multi-wavelength version of PVi®that is designed to provide enhanced specificity to changes in fluid volume compared to PVi®.Our noninvasive hemoglobin sensor, SpHb®, monitors hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. Hemoglobin measurement is one of the most frequent invasive laboratory measurements in the world, often measured as part of a complete blood count. A low hemoglobin status is called anemia, which is generally caused by bleeding or the inability of the body to produce red blood cells. RRa® allows for the continuous andalso include noninvasive monitoring of blood constituents with an optical signature, optical regional oximetry monitoring, electrical brain function monitoring, acoustic respiration rate, via rainbow Acoustic Monitoring®. Respiration rate ismonitoring and exhaled gas monitoring. In addition, we have developed the number of breaths per minute. A low respiration rate is indicative of respiratory depressionRoot® patient monitoring and connectivity platform, the Radical-7® and Rad-97® bedside and portable patient monitors and the Radius-7®wearable wireless patient monitor. We have also developed hospital automation™ and connectivity solutions, such as the Masimo Patient SafetyNet™ supplemental remote patient surveillance and monitoring system, which currently allows up to 200 patients to be monitored and viewed simultaneously and remotely through a high respiration rate is indicative of patient distress. Traditional methods used to measure respiration rate are often considered inaccurate or are not tolerated well by patients. RRp® allows clinicians to noninvasively and continuously measure and monitor respiration rate using a standard Masimo SET® pulse oximetry or rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximeter® sensor. The RRp® measurement is determined by the variations in the plethysmograph waveform due to respiration. SpfO2™, or fractional oxygen saturation, allows more precise arterial oxygenation assessment in patients with elevated dyshemoglobins, common throughout the hospital and pre-hospital setting, compared to functional oxygen saturation, and may also allow earlier interventions and more timely therapeutic decisions. ORi™ provides real-time visibility to oxygenation status in moderate hyperoxic range, which we define as a patient’s oxygen “reserve”. ORi™ can be trended and has optional alarms to notify clinicians of changes in a patient’s oxygen reserve.
Our products consist of aPC-based monitor or circuit board,by care providers through their pagers, voice-over-IP phones or smartphones; Iris® and a “Board-in-Cable” solution, for use with our proprietary single-patient-useIris® Gateway, which allow the transfer of data from Masimo and reusable sensors and cables. We sell our products to end-users through our direct sales force and certain distributors, and also sell some of our products to our OEM partners, for incorporation into their equipment. As of December 30, 2017, we estimate that the worldwide installed base of our pulse oximeters and OEM monitors that incorporate Masimo SET® and rainbow SET™ was more than 1,591,000 units. Our installed base is the primary driver for the recurring sales of our sensors, most notably single-patient adhesive sensors.
We offer Masimo SET® and rainbow SET™ through our OEMs and our own end-user products, including the Radical-7®, Rad-97™, Rad-97™ NIBP, Rad-67™, Rad-57®, Pronto®, Rad-8®, Rad-5®, Rad-5v®, Rad-G™ and Radius-7®. Our solutions and related products are based upon our proprietary Masimo SET® and rainbow® algorithms. This software-based technology is incorporated into a variety of product platforms depending on our customers’ specifications. Our technology is supported by a substantial intellectual property portfolio that we have built through internal development and, to a lesser extent, acquisitions and license agreements. As of December 30, 2017, we had 973 issued and pending patents worldwide. We have exclusively licensed from our development partner, Cercacor, the right to OEM certain rainbow® technologies and the right to incorporate such
technologies into our products intended to be used by professional caregivers, including, but not limitedthird-party devices to hospital caregiverselectronic medical records; and alternate care facility caregivers.
Settlement Agreement with Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Philips N.V.)
In November 2016, we entered into a settlement agreement with Philips N.V. (the Philips Settlement Agreement)UniView™, pursuant to which Philips N.V. agreed to pay us $300 million,provides an integrated display of real-time data from Masimo and Philips N.V. and its affiliates (collectively, the Philips Group) and us (collectively, the Parties) agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, all pending legal and contractual disputes between the Parties and agreed not to sue each other for patent infringement for certain of each other’s products. In addition, the Parties agreed to work together to integrate our technologies into additional Philips Group products, and to jointly develop certain other products. Each of the Parties has additional obligations to the other in the event that such party does not meet certain objectives under the settlement agreement. The Philips Settlement Agreement also contains rainbow® parameter pricing and related terms. The Parties further agreed to undertake a joint marketing program to promote rainbow® adoption with Philips Group products. See Note 17 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements under the caption “Litigation” included inthird-party devices. Please see Part IV,I, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Philips legal disputes and the Philips Settlement Agreement.
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act)
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was signed into law, and became effective January 1 2018. The 2017 Tax Act includes a number of changes to existing U.S. federal tax law impacting businesses including, among other things, a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, a one-time transition tax on the “deemed repatriation” of cumulative undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017 and changes in the prospective taxation of the foreign operations of U.S. multinational companies. Moreover, Congressional leaders have recognized that the process of adopting extensive tax legislation in a short amount of time without hearings and substantial time for review is likely to have led to drafting errors, issues needing clarification and unintended consequences that will have to be reviewed in subsequent tax legislation. At this point, it is not clear when Congress will address these issues or when the Internal Revenue Service will be able to issue administrative guidance on the changes made in the 2017 Tax Act. Accordingly, given the complexity and lack of specificity related to certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, we made certain estimates and assumptions in connection with the calculation of our provision for income taxes for the year ended December 30, 2017 and recorded a discrete tax charge of approximately $37.0 million. In addition, as a result of this change in U.S. tax policy, we recorded a related discrete tax charge of $6.5 million as a result of our decision to repatriate up to $180.0 million of accumulated undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. We continue to evaluate the impact of the 2017 Tax Act on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 16 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to our business, products and technologies.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the U.S. and around the globe, resulting in both challenges and opportunities for our business. We are committed to being as transparent as possible with our investors, employees, customers, suppliers and business partners as we collectively work to respond to this crisis. In response to this situation, we have implemented a number of precautionary measures at our facilities, including requiring certain personnel to work remotely from home and enacting social distancing, requiring face masks and mandatory screening for symptoms associated with COVID-19 for critical personnel that are required to report to our facilities to work. We have introduced new products, such as Masimo SafetyNet™, Masimo SafetyNet-Open™ andMasimo SafetyNetAlert™, to help combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and continue to make charitable pledges to various global health organizations to support global COVID-19 relief efforts.
Given the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot predict the extent to which the fluctuations in product demand we have experienced will continue or any resulting changes in our product mix, as well as the associated gross margin impact from those fluctuations in boards and instruments sales. In addition, the fluctuations in demand could result in potential reductions in future demand if our customers have over purchased our products and need to consume their excess inventory before purchasing additional products. Furthermore, we continue to be exposed to potential disruptions to our manufacturing operations, disruptions in the manufacturing supply chain of critical components and in our workforce as circumstances surrounding the global impact of the 2017 Tax ActCOVID-19 pandemic continue to change. Please see “Risks Related to Our Revenues” and “Risks Related to our Business and Operations” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on our tax provision and tax rate.Form 10-K for additional information on potential negative impacts to us resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Stock Repurchase ProgramsProgram
In September 2015, we completed the repurchase of the remaining authorized shares underOctober 2021, our previousBoard approved a stock repurchase program, that had originally been authorized by our Board in February 2013. Our Board also approved a new stock repurchase program in September 2015, authorizing the repurchase ofus to purchase up to 5.03.0 million shares of our common stock over a period of up to three years (2015 Stock(2021 Repurchase Program). The 2015 Stock2021 Repurchase Program may be carried out at the discretion of a committee comprised of our Chief Executive OfficerCEO and Chief Financial OfficerCFO through open market purchases, one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, block trades and in privately negotiated transactions. The total remaining shares authorized forFor additional information regarding our current and prior stock repurchase under the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program approximated 2.1 million shares as of December 30, 2017. For further details regarding the 2015 Stock Repurchase Program, pleaseprograms, see Part II, Item 5 and Note 1417 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Cercacor
Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. (Cercacor) is an independent entity spun off from Masimous to our stockholders in 1998. Joe Kiani, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), is also the Chairman and CEO of Cercacor. We are a party to a cross-licensing agreement with Cercacor, which was amended and restated effective January 1, 2007 (Cross-Licensing(the Cross-Licensing Agreement), thatwhich governs each party’s rights to certain intellectual property held by the two companies. Joe Kiani, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cercacor. We have also entered into various other agreements with Cercacor, including an Administrative Services Agreement, a Consulting Services Agreement and a Sublease Agreement. See Note 4 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on these agreements and other transactions with Cercacor.
As a result of recent changes in the capital structure of Cercacor, as well as certain of its contractual relationships with us, we completed a re-evaluation of the authoritative consolidation guidance during the first quarter of 2016 and determined that although Cercacor remains a variable interest entity (VIE), we are no longer its primary beneficiary as we can no longer be deemed to have the power to direct the activities of Cercacor that most significantly impact Cercacor’s economic performance
and can no longer be deemed to have an obligation to absorb Cercacor’s losses pursuant to our on-going contractual relationships with Cercacor. Based on such determination, we discontinued consolidating Cercacor within our consolidated financial statements effective as of January 3, 2016. However, Cercacor continues to be a related party following its deconsolidation. We recognized a gain of $0.3 million upon such deconsolidation, which has been reported within non-operating income in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. See Note 3 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the deconsolidation ofrelated to Cercacor.

Product gross margins decreased slightly to 64.9% for the year ended December 30, 2017 from 65.2% for the year ended December 31, 2016. This decrease in product gross margin was primarily due to differences in customer and product mix, unfavorable production variances associated with the expansion of our manufacturing capacity and increased inventory valuation reserves associated with certain product transitions.

This net increase was primarily attributable to higher payrollcompensation and other employee-related expenses of approximately $14.3 million, higher advertising, digital marketing and trade show expenses of $3.5 million and higher occupancy costs of approximately $3.1 million. In addition, we also recorded a net charge of approximately $10.5$20.4 million, related to arbitration proceedings that we initiated during the year against a former appointed foreign agent seeking to collect amounts that were paid by a foreign government customer to such agent in connection with a foreign government tender, but which had not been remitted to us in accordance with the agency agreement. (See Note 17 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on this matter.) These increases were partially offset by a decrease in donations of approximately $5.3 million and lowerhigher legal and professional fees of approximately $4.7$16.7 million, higher occupancy and other office-related costs of approximately $5.2 million and higher travel costs of approximately $2.1 million, which were partially offset by a reduction in advertising and marketing-related expenses of approximately $19.2 million, and a reduction in contributions of approximately $0.9 million.
Approximately $13.3 million and $9.4 million of stock-based compensation expense was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 30, 2017 was due to both the composition of the equity awards granted and a significant increase in the fair market value of our stock from the prior year that increased the value of the equity awards granted during the year. See Note 15 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on our stock-based compensation programs.

Included in research and development expenses was approximately $3.6 million and $2.7 million of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase in stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 30, 2017 was primarily due to the increase in the fair market value of our stock from the prior year that increased the value of the equity awards granted during the year.

(Philips N.V.), which among other things, settled all of the claims, legal proceedings and contractual disputes between us, Philips and its affiliates. Pursuant to the Philips Settlement Agreement, Philips N.V. paid us $300 million, $30 million of which related to certain future performance obligations by us and, therefore, was deferred to future periods in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance.

Our provision for income taxes was $67.8$44.7 million for the year ended December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 compared to $117.7$23.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.January 2, 2021. Our effective tax rate was 34.0%16.3% for the year ended December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 compared to 28.1%8.9% for the year ended December 31, 2016.January 2, 2021. This increase in our effective tax rate was primarily due to discrete charges duringfor the year ended December 30, 2017 of approximately $43.5 million, including $37.0 million related to the direct impact of the 2017 Tax Act and $6.5 million resultingJanuary 1, 2022 resulted primarily from our decision to repatriate up to $180.0 million of accumulated undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries as a result of the changes in U.S. tax policy under the 2017 Tax Act. An unfavorable mixan decrease in the geographic compositionamount of our pre-tax earnings between higher tax and lower tax jurisdictions also contributed to the increase in our effective tax rate. These increases to our effective tax rate were partially offset by incremental excess tax benefits realized forfrom stock-based compensation pursuant to Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), of approximately $39.2$13.7 million for compared to the year ended December 30, 2017 as compared to $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Given the complexity and lack of specificity related to certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, we made certain estimates and assumptions in connection with the calculation of our provision for income taxes for the year ended December 30, 2017. We continue to evaluate the impact of the 2017 Tax Act on our operations but expect that certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will result in an effective U.S. tax rate greater than the statutory 21% federal tax rate. See Note 16 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to the impact of the 2017 Tax Act on our tax provision and tax rate.January 2, 2021.
We have made no provision for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $37.4$180.6 million in accumulated earnings from our foreign subsidiaries as we expect that such amounts will continue to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. Our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to a portion of our earnings being generated from countries other than the U.S., where such earnings are generally subject to lower tax rates than the U.S., excess tax benefits from U.S. stock-based compensation and research and development tax credits. While we expect our worldwide consolidated effective tax rate will continue to be lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, our actual future effective income tax rate will depend on various factors, including the geographic composition of our pre-tax income, the amount of excess tax benefits realized from U.S. stock-based compensation, the amount of our research and development tax credits, the deductibility of executive compensation, changes in tax laws, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and the recognition and derecognition of tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions.

Cost of goods sold includes labor, material, overhead and other similar costs related to the production, supply, distribution and support of our products. Cost of goods sold increased $10.7 million to $230.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $220.1 million for the year ended January 2, 2016, primarily due to the increase in product revenues and the impact of approximately $6.4 million of Cercacor royalty expenses that are no longer eliminated in consolidation. These increases were partially offset by the non-recurrence of approximately $9.7 million of inventory valuation adjustments related to certain product end-of-life decisions in the year ended January 2, 2016 and approximately $2.8 million in lower cost of goods sold resulting from favorable foreign exchange movements, primarily in the Mexican Peso. Our total gross margin increased to 66.8% for the year ended December 31, 2016 from 65.1% for the year ended January 2, 2016. This increase in product gross margin was primarily due to customer/product mix favorability, our continued cost reduction efforts, the non-recurrence of the prior year inventory valuation adjustments and favorable movements in foreign exchange rates, which were partially offset by the non-elimination of the Cercacor royalty costs. We incurred $6.7 million in Cercacor royalty expense for the year ended January 2, 2016 that was eliminated in our consolidated financial statements for such period. Had such royalty expense not been eliminated in consolidation, the adjusted product gross profit margin would have been 62.2% for the year ended January 2, 2016, compared to our reported product gross profit margin of 65.2% for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.9 million, or 0.4%, to $253.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $252.7 million for the year ended January 2, 2016. This net increase was due primarily to increases in payroll-related costs of approximately $12.6 million, group purchasing organization (GPO) and distribution administration fees of $2.8 million, travel and entertainment costs of $2.6 million and advertising and trade show expenses of $1.5 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in legal fees of approximately $9.7 million, of which $3.0 million resulted from an insurance recovery related to a dispute over reimbursable defense costs from prior periods, and lower medical device excise taxes of approximately $6.9 million as the result of the two year moratorium signed into law on December 18, 2015 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act. Also offsetting these higher expenses were approximately $2.1 million of selling, general and administrative expenses related to Cercacor that were included in our consolidated results of operations for the year ended January 2, 2016,2021 as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2016 due28, 2019, refer to the deconsolidationdiscussion under the heading “Comparison of Cercacor asthe Year ended January 2, 2021 to the Year ended December 28, 2019” in Item 7, which should be read in conjunction with Item 6, in each case, of January 3, 2016. (See Note 3 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Cash. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of our existing cash and cash equivalent balances, future funds expected to be generated from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility. As of January 1, 2022, we had approximately $970.7 million in working capital, of which approximately $745.3 million was cash and cash equivalents. In addition to net working capital, we had approximately $148.3 million of available borrowing capacity (net of outstanding letters of credit) under our Credit Facility as compared to approximately $867.3 million in working capital and approximately $641.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at January 2, 2021.
We currently maintain a Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (as Administrative Agent and a Lender, and Bank of the West, as a Lender, collectively, the Initial Lenders). The Credit Facility provides for up to $150.0 million of unsecured borrowings, with an option, subject to certain conditions, for us to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity to up to $550.0 million in the future with the Initial Lenders and additional Lenders, as required. The Credit Facility also provides for a sublimit of up to $25.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and a sublimit of $75.0 million for borrowings in specified foreign currencies. Proceeds from the Credit Facility are expected to be used for general corporate, capital investment and expenditures and working capital needs. For additional information related toregarding the deconsolidation of Cercacor.)
Approximately $9.4 million and $8.1 million of stock-based compensation expense was included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, respectively. SeeCredit Facility, see Note 15 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on our stock-based compensation programs.

Research and development expenses increased $2.7 million, or 4.8%, to $59.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $56.6 million for the year ended January 2, 2016. This net increase was due primarily to increases in payroll-related costs of approximately $5.2 million, occupancy-related costs of $1.7 million, engineering project-related costs and professional fees of $0.9 million and the non-recurrence of approximately $0.9 million of cost reimbursements from Cercacor in the year ended January 2, 2016. Offsetting these higher expenses were approximately $6.3 million of research and development expenses related to Cercacor that were included in our consolidated results of operations for the year ended January 2, 2016, as compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2016 due to the deconsolidation of Cercacor as of January 3, 2016. (See Note 3 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to the deconsolidation of Cercacor.)

On November 5, 2016, we entered into a settlement agreement (the Philips Settlement Agreement) with Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Philips N.V.), which among other things, settled all of the claims, legal proceedings and contractual disputes between us, Philips and its affiliates. Pursuant to the Philips Settlement Agreement, Philips N.V. paid us $300 million, $30 million of which related to certain future performance obligations by us and, therefore, was deferred to future periods in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. See Note 17 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements under the caption “Litigation” included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on the Philips legal disputes and the Philips Settlement Agreement. On November 16, 2015, we entered into a Settlement and Covenant Not to Sue Agreement (the Mindray Settlement Agreement) with Shenzhen Mindray Biomedical Electronics Co., Ltd. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, Mindray). The Mindray Settlement Agreement settled each of the claims and legal proceedings between us and Mindray. Pursuant to the Mindray Settlement Agreement, Mindray paid us an aggregate of $25.0 million.
Two of our former physician office sales representatives filed employment-related claims against us in 2011 regarding our noninvasive hemoglobin monitoring products. In January 2014, an arbitrator awarded the former sales representatives approximately $5.4 million in damages (the Arbitration Award). As a result, we recorded a charge of $8.0 million in the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2013, which included the Arbitration Award and approximately $2.6 million in defense-related costs that had previously been reimbursed by insurance. We challenged the Arbitration Award in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, and in April 2014, the District Court vacated the Arbitration Award. Accordingly, we reversed the previous $8.0 million charge in the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014. The former sales representatives appealed the U.S. District Court’s ruling, and the appeal argument was held in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on February 1, 2016. On February 19, 2016, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the District Court vacating the award, and remanded the case to the District Court with instructions to confirm the Arbitration Award. As a result, we reinstated the $5.4 million charge for the Arbitration Award that was previously reversed, plus approximately $0.7 million of estimated non-operating interest expense, as of January 2, 2016. We did not reinstate the $2.6 million charge for defense-related costs previously reimbursed by the insurance company based upon our assessment of this matter.
Non-operating Expense. Non-operating expense consists primarily of interest income, interest expense and foreign exchange losses. Non-operating expense for fiscal years 2016 and 2015 was as follows (dollars in thousands): |

Non-operating expense was $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $3.9 million for the year ended January 2, 2016. This net decrease of approximately $1.5 million was primarily due to higher interest income of $0.4 million and a $0.3 million gain resulting from our deconsolidation of Cercacor. (See Note 3 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to the deconsolidation of Cercacor.) In addition, we recognized approximately $0.1 million of net realized and unrealized gains on foreign currency denominated transactions during the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $0.5 million of net realized and unrealized losses on foreign currency denominated transactions during the year ended January 2, 2016. Offsetting these increases was approximately $0.2 million of higher interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2016, resulting from increased borrowings under our revolving credit agreement.

Our provision for income taxes was $117.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $34.8 million for the year ended January 2, 2016. Our effective tax rate was 28.1% for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 30.0% for the year ended January 2, 2016. This decrease in our effective tax rate was primarily due to a tax benefit of $13.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 related to excess tax benefits realized for stock-based compensation pursuant to our early adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. No similar tax benefit was recognized in our provision for income taxes for the year ended January 2, 2016.
Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of our existing cash and cash equivalent balances and funds expected to be generated from operations. As of December 30, 2017, we had approximately $412.6 million in working capital and approximately $315.3 million in cash and cash equivalents as compared to approximately $286.9 million in working capital and approximately $306.0 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2016. We carry cash equivalents at cost that approximates fair value. We currently do not maintain a significant investment portfolio but have the ability to invest in various security holdings, types and maturities that meet credit quality standards in accordance with our investment guidelines.10-K.
In managing our day-to-day liquidity and capital structure, we generally do not rely on foreign earnings as a source of funds. However, during the year ended December 30, 2017, as a result of changes in U.S. tax policy under the 2017 Tax Act, we decided to repatriate up to $180.0 million from our foreign subsidiaries in the future. Accumulated foreign earnings in excess of this amount continue to be considered as permanently reinvested. As of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, we had cash totaling $152.7$102.6 million held outside of the U.S., all of which approximately $59.8 million was accessible without additional tax cost.cost and approximately $42.8 million was accessible at an incremental estimated tax cost of up to $0.4 million. We currently have sufficient domestic funds on-hand and cash held outside the U.S. that is available without additional tax cost to fund our domesticglobal operations. In the event funds that are treated as permanently reinvested are repatriated, we may be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds.
During fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, we received $32.9 million, $30.5 million, and $30.8 million, respectively, in cash from Medtronic for royalties related to their U.S. sales pursuant to the terms of our amended settlement agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Third Amendment to Settlement Agreement and Release of Claims effective September 2016, Medtronic agreed to continue paying royalties to us through October 6, 2018, after which no more royalties will be due.

In addition, during the year ended December 30, 2017, other liabilities increased by $28.0 million, primarily due to income taxes payable after 2018 under the 2017 Tax Act. These sources of cash were partially offset by other changes in operating assets and liabilities related to increases in inventories, deferred cost of goods sold and other assets of $22.9 million, $19.4 million and $11.0 million, respectively, primarily due to the growth in our business; an increase in accounts receivable of $19.8 million, due to the timing of collections; and decreases in income taxes payable and deferred revenue of $72.1 million, and $27.4 million, respectively, due to the timing of payments.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 was $4.1 million, resulting primarily from common stock repurchase transactions that settled during the year totaling $66.3 million, which were offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock (upon exercise of options) totaling $62.2 million.
Cash used in financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 was $216.6 million, resulting primarily from net repayments under our amended and restated credit agreement dated January 8, 2016 of $185.0 million and common stock repurchase transactions that settled during the year totaling $68.2 million, which were offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock (upon exercise of options) totaling $37.3 million.
Capital Resources and Prospective Capital Requirements
As of December 30, 2017, we did not have any outstanding loan draws or letters of credit under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Restated Credit Facility) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and a Lender, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent and a Lender, Citibank, N.A., as Documentation Agent and a Lender, and various other Lenders (collectively, the Lenders), leaving available borrowing capacity of $250.0 million. We had no outstanding capital leases or other debt obligations and were in compliance with all bank covenants as of December 30, 2017. Given our current cash position and decision to repatriate up to $180.0 million from our foreign subsidiaries in the future, we terminated our Restated Credit Facility in February 2018.
In September 2015, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program, whereby we may purchase up to 5.0 million shares of our common stock over a period of up to three years. The stock repurchase program may be carried out at the discretion of a committee comprised of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer through open market purchases, one or more Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, block trades and in privately negotiated transactions. The total remaining shares authorized for repurchase under this stock repurchase program approximated 2.1 million shares as of December 30, 2017.
We expect to fund our future operating, investing and financing activities through our available cash, future cash from operations and other potential sources of capital. In addition to funding our working capital requirements, we anticipate additional capital expenditures during fiscal year 2018 of approximately $25.0 million, primarily related to investments in infrastructure growth. Possible additional uses of cash may include the acquisition of technologies or technology companies, as well as repurchases of stock under our authorized stock repurchase program. However, any repurchases of stock will be subject to numerous factors, including the availability of our stock, general market conditions, the trading price of our stock, available capital, alternative uses for capital and our financial performance. In addition, the amount and timing of our actual investing activities will vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the timing and amount of capital expenditures, costs of product development efforts, our timetable for international sales operations and manufacturing expansion, stock repurchase activity and costs related to our domestic and international regulatory requirements. Despite these investment requirements and potential expenditures, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents, amounts available under our Credit Facility and cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other operational funding needs for at least the next 12 months.months and beyond.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with the proposed acquisition of Sound United announced on February 15, 2022, we received a debt commitment letter in the amount of $800 million and we expect to secure this financing in the event the proposed acquisition closes. We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referredintend to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been establishedfund this acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under a new credit facility. The acquisition is expected to close in the middle of 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptionsjudgements that affect the reported amountamounts of net revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses for each reporting period.liabilities. These estimates and assumptionsjudgements are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, and form the basis for making management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Although we regularly evaluate these estimates and assumptions, changes in judgments and uncertainties relating to these estimates could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, the impact to the consolidated financial statements may be material. We believe that the critical accounting policies that are the most significant for purposes of fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:
Revenue Recognition, and Deferred Revenue and Other Contract Liabilities
We followderive the current authoritative guidancemajority of our product revenue from four primary sources: (i) direct sales under deferred equipment agreements with end-user hospitals where we provide up-front monitoring equipment at no up-front charge in exchange for revenue recognition under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). Pursuanta multi-year sensor purchase commitment; (ii) other direct sales of noninvasive monitoring solutions to ASC 605, weend-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other direct customers; (iii) sales of noninvasive monitoring solutions to distributors who then typically resell to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other customers; and (iv) sales of integrated circuit boards to OEM customers who incorporate our embedded software technology into their multiparameter monitoring devices. Subject to customer credit considerations, the majority of such sales are made on open account using industry standard payment terms based on the geography within which the specific customer is located.
We generally recognize revenue following a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers and generally provide for the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled, net of allowances for estimated returns, discounts or sales incentives, as well as taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities, when control over the sale of productspromised goods or services when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii)are transferred to the pricecustomer. Revenue related to equipment supplied under sales-type lease arrangements is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectabilityrecognized once control over the equipment is reasonably assured. Intransferred to the casecustomer, while revenue related to equipment supplied under operating-type lease arrangements is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license or sale of software that does not function together with hardware components to provide the essential functionality of the hardware, revenue is recognized pursuant to the software revenue recognition guidance.lease.
We enter into agreements to sell our noninvasive monitoring solutions and services, sometimes as part of multiple deliverable arrangements that include various combinations of products, software and services. While the majority of our sales transactions contain standard business terms and conditions, there are some transactions that contain non-standard business terms and conditions. As a result, contract interpretation and analysis may beis required to determine the appropriate accounting, including: (i) the amount of the total consideration, including variable consideration, (ii) whether the arrangement contains an embedded lease, and if so, whether such embedded lease is a sales-type lease or an operating lease, (iii) the identification of the distinct performance obligations contained within the arrangement, (iv) how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the deliverablesto each performance obligation when multiple deliverablesperformance obligations exist, (ii)including the determination of standalone selling price, and (v) when to recognize revenue on the deliverables, and (iii) whether undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements.performance obligations. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the timing of revenue recognition.
We enter into agreements to sell our monitoring solutions and services, sometimes as part of arrangements with multiple performance obligations that include various combinations of distinct product sales, equipment leases and services. In the case of contracts with multiple deliverable arrangements,performance obligations, the authoritative guidance provides that the total consideration be allocated to each performance obligation on the basis of relative standalone selling prices. When a hierarchy to determine thestandalone selling price to be used for allocating revenue to each deliverable as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value, (ii) third-party evidence ofis not readily observable, we estimate the standalone selling price (TPE), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (ESP). VSOE of fair value is defined as the price charged when the same element is sold separately. VSOE generally exists only when the deliverable is sold separately and is the price actually charged for that deliverable. TPE generally does not exist for the majority of our products. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which we would transact a sale if the product was sold on a stand-alone basis. In the absence of VSOE and TPE, we determine ESP for our products by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, features and functionality of the product, geographies, type of customer, contractual prices pursuant to GPOGroup Purchasing Organization (GPO) contracts, our pricing and discount practices, and other market conditions.
A deliverable in an arrangement qualifies as a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Most of our products in a multiple deliverable arrangement qualify as separate units of accounting. In the case of our monitoring
Sales under deferred equipment containing embedded Masimo SET® or rainbow SET™ software and our Patient SafetyNet remote monitoring and clinician notification solution, we determined that the hardware and software components function together to deliver the equipment’s essential functionality and, therefore, represent a single deliverable. However, software deliverables, such as rainbow® parameter software, which do not function together with hardware components to provide the equipment’s essential functionality, are accounted for under software revenue recognition guidance. The revenue for these multiple-element arrangements is allocated to the software deliverables and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the deliverables in the arrangement using the hierarchy in the revenue recognition accounting guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables.
Our sales under long-term sensor purchase contractsagreements are generally structured such that we agree to provide at no up-front charge certain monitoringmonitoring-related equipment, software, installation, training and/or warranty support at no up-front charge in exchange for the hospital’s agreementcustomer’s commitment to purchase sensors over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from three to six years. These contractsWe allocate contract consideration under deferred equipment agreements containing fixed annual sensor purchase commitments to the underlying lease and non-lease components at contract inception. In determining whether any underlying lease components are related to a sales-type lease or an operating lease, we evaluate the customer’s rights and ability to control the use of the underlying equipment throughout the contract term, including any equipment substitution rights retained by us, as well as our expectations surrounding potential contract/lease extensions or renewals and the customer’s likelihood to exercise any purchase options. Revenue allocable to non-lease components is generally recognized as such non-lease components are satisfied. Revenue allocable to lease components under sales-type lease arrangements is generally recognized when control over the equipment is transferred to the customer. Revenue allocable to lease components under operating lease arrangements is generally recognized over the term of the operating lease. We generally do not provide forexpect to derive any payments that are not dependent uponsignificant value in excess of such asset’s unamortized book value from equipment underlying our future deliveryoperating leases arrangements.
Revenue from direct sales of sensors, which are essentialour products to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations, other direct customers, distributors and OEM customers is generally recognized by us when control of such products transfer to the functionalitycustomer based upon the terms of the monitoring equipment and, therefore, represent a substantive performance obligation. As a result, we generally do not recognize any revenue when the monitoring andcontract or underlying purchase order. Revenue related equipment and software are delivered to the hospitals. We recognize revenue for these delivered elements, on a pro-rata basis when installation and training are complete, as the sensors are delivered under the long-term purchase commitment. The cost of the monitoring equipment initially placed at the hospitals is deferred and amortized to cost of goods sold over the life of the underlying long-term sensor purchase contract. In cases where such contracts do provide for guaranteed payments that are unrelated to the future delivery of sensors, we recognize the net present value of such payments as revenue from the monitoring and related equipment and expense such equipment to cost of goods sold as the equipment is delivered and when installation and training are complete. Some of our long-term sensor contracts also contain provisions for certain payments to be made directly to the end-user hospital customer at the inception of the arrangement. These payments are generally treated as prepaid discounts which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis as contra-revenue over the life of the underlying long-term sensor purchase contract.
Many of our distributors purchase sensor products that they then resell to hospitals that are typically fulfilling their purchase obligations to us under the end-user hospitals’ long-term sensor purchase commitments. Upon shipment to these distributors, revenue is deferred until the distributor ships the product to our end-user customers based on an estimate of the inventory held by these distributors at the end of the accounting period.
We also earn revenue from the sale of integrated circuit boards and other products, as well as fromOEM rainbow® parameter software licenses to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) under various agreements. Revenue fromis recognized by us upon the sale of products to the OEMs is generally recognized at the time of shipment. Revenue related to software licenses to OEMs is generally recognized uponOEM’s shipment of the OEM’sits product to its customers.customer, as reported to us by the OEM.
We provide certain customers with various sales incentives that may take the ability to purchase sensors under rebate programs. Under these programs, the customer may earn rebates based on their purchasing activity.form of discounts or rebates. We estimate and provide allowances for these programs as a reduction to revenue at the time of salesale. In general, customers do not have a right of return for credit or refund. However, we allow returns under certain circumstances. At the end of each period, we estimate and accrue for these returns as a reduction to revenue.
The majority of our royalty We estimate the revenue arises from one agreement and is due and payable quarterly in arrears. An estimate of these royalty revenues is recorded quarterly in the period earned based on the prior quarters’ historical results, adjusted for any new
information or trends known to management at the time of estimation. This estimated revenue is adjusted prospectively when we receive the royalty report, approximately sixty days after the end of the previous quarter. We also recognize revenue upon the achievement of pre-agreed milestones related to NRE services provided for a certain OEM customer. Costs incurred by usconstraints related to these NRE services are generally deferred until such time that the milestones are achievedforms of variable consideration based on various factors, including expected purchasing volumes, prior sales and the associated revenue is recognized.returns history, and specific contractual terms and limitations.
Effective next year, a new accounting standard, ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), will replace ASC 605 and become the new authoritative guidance for revenue recognition. Please see Note 2 of our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to our adoption of ASC 606 next year.
Inventory/Reserves for Excess or Obsolete Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates FIFO (first-in, first-out). Inventory valuation reserves are recorded for materials that have become obsolete or are no longer used in current production and for inventory that has a net realizable value less than the carrying value in inventory. We generally purchase raw materials in quantities that we anticipate will be fully used within one year. However, changes in operating strategy and customer demand, and frequent unpredictable fluctuations in market values for such materials, can limit our ability to effectively utilize all of the raw materials purchased and sold through resulting finished goods to customers for a profit. We regularly monitor potential inventory excess, obsolescence and lower market values compared to standard costs and, when necessary, reduce the carrying amount of our inventory to its market value.
We develop ourdetermine any required inventory reservevaluation adjustments based on an evaluation of the expected future use of our inventory on an item by item basis. We apply historical obsolescence rates to estimate the loss on inventory expected to have a recovery value below cost. Our historical obsolescence rates are developed from our company specific experience for major categories of inventory, which are then applied to excess inventory on an item by item basis. We also developrecord other specific inventory reservesvaluation adjustments when we become aware of other unique events that result in a known recovery value below cost. For inventory items that have been written down, either due to the inventory reserve analysis or due to a specific event, the reduced value becomes the new cost basis. Our inventory reserve was $12.7 million and $9.4 million at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The increase inIf our inventory reserve during fiscal year 2017 resulted primarily from additional inventory valuation reserves that were recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 in connection with certain product transitions. If ourassumptions, judgements or estimates for potential inventory losses prove to be too low, our future earnings will be affected when any related additional inventory losses are recorded.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. This allowance is used to state trade receivables at a net estimated realizable value. We rely on prior experience to estimate the amount that we expect to collect on the gross receivables outstanding, which cannot be known with exact certainty as of the time of issuance of this report. We maintain a specific allowance for customer accounts that we know may not be collectible due to customer liquidity issues. We also maintain a general allowance for future collection losses that arise from customer accounts that do not indicate an inability, but may be unable, to pay. Although such losses have historically been within our expectations and the allowances we have established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same loss rates that we have in the past. Therefore, a significant change in the liquidity or financial condition of our customers could cause unfavorable trends in our receivable collections and additional allowances may be required. Our accounts receivable balance was $121.3 million and $101.7 million, net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.1 million and $1.7 million at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Our stock-based compensation awards are currently comprised of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs), all of which are equity-classified awards. For equity-classified awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, we estimate the fair value of the award on the date of grant and expense stock-based compensation over the requisite service period. In the case of PSUs, the amount of expense recognized is also dependent upon the expected achievement level for the specified performance criteria. The fair value of RSU and PSU awards is the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. To calculate the fair value of stock option awards, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which, in addition to the closing price of our stock on the grant date and the option strike price, requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include the estimated length of time employees will retain their stock options before exercising them (the expected term), the estimated volatility of our stock price over the expected term and the dividend yield on our common stock. We estimate expected term based on both our specific historical option exercise experience, as well as expected term information available from a peer group of companies with similar vesting schedules. The estimated volatility is based on both the historical and implied volatilities of our share price.
We also apply an estimate of the number of stock-based awards that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. Adjustments in the estimated forfeiture rates can have a significant effect on our reported stock-based compensation, as we recognize the cumulative effect of the rate adjustments for all expense amortization in the period the estimated forfeiture rates were adjusted. We estimate and adjust forfeiture rates based on a periodic review of recent forfeiture activity and expected future employee turnover. Adjustments in the estimated forfeiture rates could also cause changes in the amount of expense that we recognize in future periods.
Stock-based compensation expense was $17.2 million, $12.5 million and $10.9 million for the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, respectively. Changes in the types and quantity of equity awards, as well as the fair market value of our stock may impact the cost of future stock option grants. In general, and as reflected in our stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 30, 2017, to the extent that the fair market value of our stock increases, the overall cost of granting these options will also increase.increase. Any changes in the assumptions, judgments and estimates mentioned above could cause our actual stock-based compensation expense to vary, resulting in changes to future earnings. For further details regarding our stock-based compensation see Note 1518 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements includedincluded in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets
Intangible assets from acquisitions or licensing agreements, as well as intangible assets related to the costs of registering and maintaining our patents and trademarks, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment charges, if any. For assets with determinable useful lives, amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the respective intangible assets, ranging from one to twelve years. Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts or impairment. IPR&D projects relate to in-process projects that have not reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date and have no alternative future use. Upon completion of development, acquired in-process research and development assets are transferred to finite-lived intangible assets and amortized over their useful lives.
We assess whether our intangible assets and other long-lived assets should be tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value, which is determined using projected discounted future operating cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less selling costs.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. Our annual impairment test is performed during the fourth fiscal quarter.
In assessing goodwill impairment, we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that the fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Our qualitative assessment of the recoverability of goodwill considers various macro-economic, industry-specific and company-specific factors. These factors include: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specific actions, including exiting an activity in conjunction with restructuring of operations; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of our financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in our market capitalization below its net book value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine it is unlikely that the fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis is unnecessary. However, if we conclude otherwise, or if we elect to bypass the qualitative analysis, then we are required to perform a quantitative analysis that compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired; otherwise, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the lesser of: (a) the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; or (b) the amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Accounting for Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A tax position that meets a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is recognized in the first reporting period that it becomes more-likely-than-not such tax position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets this more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is recorded at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Previously recognized income tax positions that fail to meet the recognition threshold in a subsequent period are derecognized in that period.
Differences between actual results and our assumptions, or changes in our assumptions in future periods, are recorded in the period they become known. We record potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
As a multinational corporation, we are subject to complex tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, evolution of regulations and court rulings. We have concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 20132017 and all material state, local and foreign income tax matters for years through 2010.2014. Given the foregoing, our actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the need to record additional liabilities or potentially to reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.
Deferred tax assets (DTA) and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that all or part of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including recent financial performance, scheduled reversals of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, availability of taxable income in carryback periods and tax planning strategies.
During the year ended December 30, 2017, we recorded a discrete charge of approximately $37.0 million relatedIncome taxes are highly susceptible to changes in U.S. federal tax rulesfrom period to period, requiring management to make assumptions about our future income over the lives of our DTAs and tax rates pursuant to the 2017 Tax Act that was signed into law on December 22, 2017. In addition, as a result of the change in U.S. tax policy under the 2017 Tax Act, we recorded an additional discrete tax charge of $6.5 million related to our decision to repatriate up to $180.0 million of accumulated earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. Given the complexity and lack of specificity related to certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, we made certain estimates and assumptions in connection with the calculation of these tax charges and continue to evaluate the impact of changes in valuation allowances. Any difference in the 2017 Tax Act onassumptions, judgments and estimates mentioned above could results in changes to our business, financial condition and results of operations. See Note 16 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements included in Part IV, Item 15(a) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information related to the impact of the 2017 Tax Act on our tax provision and tax rate.
Litigation Costs and Contingencies
We record a charge equal to at least the minimum estimated liability for a loss contingency or litigation settlement when both of the following conditions are met: (i) information available prior to issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability had been incurred at the date of the financial statements and (ii) the range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The determination of whether a loss contingency or litigation settlement is probable or reasonably possible involves a significant amount of management judgment, as does the estimation of the range of loss given the nature of contingencies. Liabilities related to litigation settlements with multiple elements are recorded based on the fair value of each element. Legal and other litigation related expenses are recognized as the services are provided. We record insurance and other indemnity recoveries for litigation expenses when both of the following conditions are met: (i) the recovery is probable and (ii) collectability is reasonably assured. The insurance recoveries recorded are only to the extent the litigation costs have been incurred and recognized in the financial statements; however, it is reasonably possible that the actual recovery may be significantly different from our estimates. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigation, and we cannot provide assurance that any actions or other third partythird-party claims against us will be resolved without costly litigation or substantial settlement charges. If any of those events were to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity, if applicable, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities requires estimates and the use of valuation techniques when market value is not readily available. For intangible assets acquired in a business combination, we typically use the income method. Significant estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, but are not limited to, the amount and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, discount rates and useful lives. The excess of the purchase price over fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity, if applicable, is recorded as goodwill. Should any of the assumptions, judgements or estimates associated with the valuation components change, the fair value of the assets acquired could vary.

ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks that may arise from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange fluctuations and inflation. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we can earn on our cash and cash equivalents and on the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay with respect to our various outstanding debt instruments. We do not believe our cash equivalents are subject to significant interest
rate risk due to their short terms to maturity. As of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, the carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair value. We currently do not have any significant risks associated with interest rates fluctuations related to interest expense. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Therefore, declines in interest rates over time will reduce our interest income while increases in interest rates will increase our interest income. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would increase or decrease our interest rate yields on our investments and interest income of approximately $0.1 million for each $1.0$10.0 million in interest-bearing investments.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A majority of our assets and liabilities are maintained in the United States in U.S. Dollars and a majority of our sales and expenditures are transacted in U.S. Dollars. However, we also transact with foreign customers in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, when converted into U.S. Dollars, can vary depending on average exchange rates during a respective period. In addition, certain of our foreign sales support subsidiaries transact in their respective country’s local currency, which is also their functional currency. As a result, expenses of these foreign subsidiaries when converted into U.S. Dollars can also vary depending on average monthly exchange rates during a respective period.
We are exposed to foreign currency gains or losses on outstanding foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as our foreign currency denominated cash balances and certain intercompany transactions. Realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses on these transactions are included in our statements of operations as incurred. Furthermore,In addition, other transactions between us or our subsidiaries and a third-party, denominated in a currency different from the functional currency, are foreign currency transactions. Realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses on these transactions are also included in our statements of operations as incurred, and are converted to U.S. Dollars at average exchange rates for a respective period.incurred.
The balance sheets of each of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date and the statements of operationscomprehensive income and cash flows are translated into U.S. Dollars using an approximation of the average monthly exchange raterates applicable during the period. Any foreign exchange gain or loss as a result of translating the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar is included in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).income.
Our primary foreign currency exchange rate exposures are with the Canadian Dollar, Euro, the Japanese Yen, the Swedish Krona, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound, the Mexico Peso, Turkish Lira and the Australian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. Foreign currency exchange rates have experiencedmay experience significant movements recently, particularly overvolatility from one period to the last twenty-four months, and such volatility is expected to continue in the future.next. Specifically, during the fiscal yearsyear ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,January 1, 2022, we estimate that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and other foreign currencies, including the Japanese Yen,Canadian Dollar, the Swedish Krona,Euro, the British Pound, the Australian Dollar and the Australian Dollar,South Korean Won, favorably impacted our revenues by $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.$8.2 million. We currently do not enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures denominated in foreign currencies and do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The effect of additional changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material effect on our future operating results or cash flows, depending on which foreign currency exchange rates change and depending on the directional change (either a strengthening or weakening against the U.S. Dollar). We estimate that the potential impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all applicable foreign currency exchange rates from the rates in effect as of December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 would have resulted in an estimated reduction of $11.9$15.3 million in reported pre-tax income for the year ended December 30, 2017.January 1, 2022. As our foreign operations continue to grow, our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk may become more significant.
Inflation Risk
We continuously monitor the effects of inflationary factors, such as increases in our cost of goods sold and selling and operating expenses, which may adversely affect our results of operations. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations during the periods presented. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may strategically adjust product pricing to mitigate such inflation risks. However, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases.the impact of persistent inflation. Our inability or failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 9A. | ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 30, 2017.January 1, 2022.
Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2017.January 1, 2022. Their attestation report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022 is included in Part IV, Item 15(a)(1) of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have beenDuring the quarter ended January 1, 2022, there were no changes in our internal controlscontrol over financial reporting during(as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the quarter ended December 30, 2017Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We expect that our existing internal controls will be modified and augmented, as necessary, to consider the new revenue recognition and related disclosure requirements related to our adoption of ASC 606 effective as of December 31, 2017, but we do not expect that such changes will materially effect our existing internal controlscontrol over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. | OTHER INFORMATION |
Not applicable.ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
On February 14, 2022, our wholly owned subsidiary, Masimo Canada ULC, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with Keltic (Prior) Development Limited Partnership (Vendor) for the purchase of land and a building to be constructed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (Premises) for a purchase price of CAD $123.0 million (plus GST) (Purchase Price), subject to customary adjustments. We have deposited CAD $1.0 million in escrow as an initial deposit (Initial Deposit). Subject to satisfactory completion of our due diligence, we will pay an additional CAD $20.0 million to the Vendor as a further deposit (together with the Initial Deposit, Deposits) thirty (30) days following the execution of the Purchase Agreement. As security for the release of the Deposits to the Vendor, the Vendor will grant us a mortgage on the Premises in the principal amount of CAD $21.0 million (Mortgage), with no payments due under the Mortgage unless there is an event of default by the Vendor. The Mortgage will be fully subordinate to the Vendor’s site specific construction financing and any mezzanine financing related to the development of the Premises, up to a maximum of CAD $85.0 million. The balance of the Purchase Price will be due and payable upon the closing of the transaction (Closing), which is currently expected to occur during the second half of 2024. Further, following the Vendor’s receipt of the first stage of a staged building permit for
construction of the building at the Premises, in the event of an uncured material default of the terms of the Purchase Agreement by the Vendor prior to the Closing, we will have the option to purchase the Premises at its then fair market value.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. The Closing is subject to certain customary conditions, including, without limitation: (i) receipt of satisfactory environmental and geotechnical reports with respect to the land; (ii) the Vendor entering into a contract with a general contractor for the construction of the Premises on terms acceptable to us and the Vendor; (iii) receipt of certain regulatory clearances; and (iv) the Vendor’s compliance with all of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, including delivering the Premises to us in accordance with mutually agreed upon plans and specifications.
We may terminate the Purchase Agreement under certain circumstances, including in the event of material delays in construction or if the Closing does not occur by July 31, 2025, subject to certain exceptions.
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding us or our business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is a summary of certain terms of the Purchase Agreement, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.37 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Masimo Corporation
Opinion on the financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Masimo Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2016,January 2, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearingincluded under Item 15(a) (2) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, thefinancial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2016,January 2, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 28, 201815, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingregarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical audit matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Accounting for Deferred Equipment Agreements
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company derives a portion of its product revenue from direct sales under deferred equipment agreements with end-user hospitals. Contract consideration under such agreements containing fixed annual sensor purchase commitments is allocated to the identified performance obligations, including lease components, on the basis of relative standalone selling prices.
We identified the accounting for deferred equipment agreements as a critical audit matter. The principal consideration for our determination that the accounting for deferred equipment agreements is a critical audit matter is that the identification and evaluation of performance obligations requires management judgment and interpretation of contract terms. Therefore, subjective and complex auditor judgment is necessary to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s judgments and assumptions in this area.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures related to deferred equipment agreements included the following, among others.
•Inspecting a sample of deferred equipment agreements with fixed sensor commitments and evaluating the reasonableness of performance obligations, including lease components, identified by management in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance.
•Testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls related to the accounting for deferred equipment agreements, including controls over the identification of performance obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Masimo Corporation
Opinion on internal controlscontrol over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Masimo Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO)(“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-IntegratedControl—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, and our report dated February 28, 201815, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal controlscontrol over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that once control is obtained, all the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, if applicable, are recorded at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over fair values of identifiable assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests in the acquired entity, if applicable, is recorded as goodwill.
Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 - Inputs other than levelLevel 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Pursuant to current authoritative guidance, entities are allowed an irrevocable option to elect the fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option under this guidance as to specific assets or liabilities. There were no transfers between levelliabilities on a contract-by contract basis. The Company did not carry financial assets measured under the fair value hierarchy based on any of the three levels of inputs (Level 1, level 2 and level 3 inputs during3) other than cash and cash equivalents for the years ended December 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021. The Company carries cash and cash equivalents at cost, which approximates fair value. As of December 30, 2017value, and December 31, 2016, the Company had an insignificant amount of other financial assets that were required to be measuredare Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy,hierarchy.
For certain other financial assets and liabilities, including restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current assets and liabilities, the measurementcarrying amounts approximate their fair value primarily due to the relatively short maturity of which were basedthese balances. The Company also measures certain non-financial assets at fair value on level 1a non-recurring basis, primarily goodwill, intangible assets and level 2 inputs.operating lease right-of-use assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity from date of purchase of three months or less, or highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful AccountsCredit Losses
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded upon recognitionat the time of revenue forinvoicing of product revenues,sales, reduced by reserves for estimated bad debts and returns. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. Collateral is generally not required. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts is determinedcredit losses that it does not expect to collect based on relevant information, including historical write-off experience, current customer informationconditions, and other relevant factors, including specific identification of past due accounts, based on the age of the receivable in excess of the contemplated or contractual due date.reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accounts are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes they are uncollectible. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified receivables for U.S. customers and receivables from international customers as a portfolio segment, and measures expected credit losses on such receivables using an aging methodology.
InventoriesInventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using a standard cost method, which approximates FIFO (firstthe first in, first out)out method, and includes material, labor and overhead.overhead costs. Inventory reservesvaluation adjustments are recorded for inventory items that have become excess or obsolete or are no longer used in current production and for inventory items that hashave a market price less than the carrying value in inventory. The Company generally determines inventory valuation adjustments based on an evaluation of the expected future use of its inventory on an item by item basis and applies historical obsolescence rates to estimate the loss on inventory expected to have a recovery value below cost. The Company also records other specific inventory valuation adjustments when it becomes aware of unique events or circumstances that result in an expected recovery value below cost. For inventory items that have been written down, the reduced value becomes the new cost basis.

MASIMO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
Land is not depreciated and construction in progressconstruction-in-progress is not depreciated until placed in service. Normal repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas significant improvements that materially increase values or extend useful lives are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining estimated useful lives of the related assets. Upon sale or retirement of depreciable assets, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss on the sale or retirement is recognized in income.
ForLessee Right-of-Use (ROU) Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. ROU assets represent the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016Company’s right to use an asset underlying an operating lease for the lease term and January 2, 2016, depreciationlease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from an operating lease. ROU assets and amortizationlease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company generally estimates the applicable discount rate used to determine the net present value of lease payments based on available information at the lease commencement date. Many of the Company’s lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which the Company does not include in its lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company utilizes a portfolio approach to account for the ROU assets and liabilities associated with certain equipment leases.
The Company has also made an accounting policy election not to separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases and to exclude short-term leases with a term of twelve months or less from its ROU assets and lease liabilities. Rental expense of property and equipment was $15.2 million, $13.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively.for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of patents, trademarks, software development costs, customer relationships and acquired technology. Costs related to patents and trademarks, which include legal and application fees, are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Patent and trademark amortization commences once final approval of the patent or trademark has been obtained. Patent costs are amortized over the lesser of 10 years or the patent’s remaining legal life, which assumes renewals, and trademark costs are amortized over 17 years, and their associated amortization cost is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For intangibles purchased in an asset acquisition or business combination, which mainly include patents, trademarks, customer relationships and acquired technology,technologies, the useful life is determined in the same manner as noted above. For the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, amortizationlargely by valuation estimates of intangible assets was $4.9 million, $3.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively. As of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total costs of patents not yet amortizing was $4.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively. As of each of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the total costs of trademarks not yet amortizing was $0.6 million. For the years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total renewal costs capitalized for patents and trademarks was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. As of December 30, 2017, the weighted-average number of years until the next renewal was one year for patents and six years for trademarks.remaining economic life.
The Company’s policy is to renew its patents and trademarks. Costs to renew intangiblespatents and trademarks are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the intangible.intangible asset. The Company continuallyperiodically evaluates the amortization period and carrying basis of patents and trademarks to determine whether any events or circumstances warrant a revised estimated useful life or reduction in value. Capitalized application costs are charged to operations when it is determined that the patent or trademark will not be obtained or is abandoned.
In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, costs related to the research and development
Table of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility of the product has been established, at which time such costs are capitalized, subject to expected recoverability. For the years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not capitalize any software development costs. For the year ended January 2, 2016, the Company capitalized $0.5 million of software development costs. The capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated life of the products, which is generally seven years. For the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and January 2, 2016, the Company amortized $1.9 million, 0.1 million and $0.2 million of capitalized costs, respectively. The Company had unamortized software development costs of $0.8 million and $0.7 million at December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which is included within intangible assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.Contents MASIMO CORPORATION

Impairment of Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Intangible assetsOther Long-Lived Assets
Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the acquired net tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested at least annually for impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. In assessing goodwill impairment, for each of its reporting units, the Company has the option to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company’s qualitative assessment of the recoverability of goodwill considers various macroeconomic, industry-specific and company-specificCompany-specific factors, including: (i) severe adverse industry or economic trends; (ii) significant company-specificCompany-specific actions; (iii) current, historical or projected deterioration of the Company’s financial performance; or (iv) a sustained decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below its net book value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is unlikely that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative analysis is unnecessary. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative analysis, then the Company must perform a quantitative analysis that compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired; otherwise, a goodwill impairment loss is recognized for the lesser of: (a)

the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value; or (b) the amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company performs its annual impairment test is performed during the fourth fiscal quarter.
The Company reviews identifiable intangible and other long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flowflows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
During the year ended December 30, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $0.4 million related to certain software licenses that had not been placed in service. No impairment of goodwill, intangible assets or other long-lived assets was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2016 or January 2, 2016.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Tax positions that meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are recognized in the first reporting period that it becomes more-likely-than-not such tax position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets this more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is recorded at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Previously recognized income tax positions that fail to meet the recognition threshold in a subsequent period are derecognized in that period. Differences between actual results and the Company’s assumptions, or changes in the Company’s assumptions in future periods, are recorded in the period they become known. The Company records potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
As a multinational corporation, the Company is subject to complex tax laws and regulations in various jurisdictions. The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws themselves are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, evolution of regulations and court rulings. Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from the Company’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional liabilities or potentially to reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against any deferred tax assets when, in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that all or part of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including recent financial performance, scheduled reversals of temporary differences, projected future taxable income, availability of taxable income in carryback periods and tax planning strategies.

Revenue Recognition, and Deferred Revenue
The Company follows the current authoritative guidance for revenue recognition. Based on these requirements, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products or services when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. In the case of the license or sale of software that does not function together with hardware components to provide the essential functionality of the hardware, revenue is recognized pursuant to the software revenue recognition guidance.Other Contract Liabilities
The Company derives the majority of its product revenue from four4 primary sources: (i) direct sales under long-term sensor purchasedeferred equipment agreements with end-user hospitals where the Company provides up-front monitoring equipment at no up-front charge in exchange for a multi-year sensor purchase commitment,commitment; (ii) other direct sales of noninvasive monitoring solutions to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other direct customers; (iii) sales of noninvasive monitoring solutions to distributors who then typically resell to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations and other direct

customers; and (iv) sales of integrated circuit boards to OEM customers who incorporate the Company’s embedded software technology into their multiparameter monitoring devices. Subject to customer credit considerations, the majority of such sales are made on open account using industry standard payment terms based on the geography within which the specific customer is located.
The Company enters into agreementsgenerally recognizes revenue following a single, principles-based five-step model to sell its noninvasive monitoring solutionsbe applied to all contracts with customers and generally provides for the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, net of allowances for estimated returns, discounts or sales incentives, as well as taxes collected from customers that are remitted to government authorities, when control over the promised goods or services sometimes as partare transferred to the customer. Revenue related to equipment supplied under sales-type lease arrangements is recognized once control over the equipment is transferred to the customer, while revenue related to equipment supplied under operating-type lease arrangements is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of multiple deliverable arrangements that include various combinations of products and services. the lease.
While the majority of the Company’s salesrevenue contracts and transactions contain standard business terms and conditions, there are some transactions that contain non-standard business terms and conditions. As a result, contract interpretation, judgment and analysis is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including: (i) the amount of the total consideration, as well as variable consideration, (ii) whether the arrangement contains an embedded lease, and if so, whether such embedded lease is a sales-type lease or an operating lease, (iii) the identification of the distinct performance obligations contained within the arrangement, (iv) how the arrangement consideration should be allocated among the deliverablesto each performance obligation when multiple deliverablesperformance obligations exist, (ii)including the determination of standalone selling price, and (v) when to recognize revenue on the deliverables, and (iii) whether undelivered elements are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements.performance obligations. Changes in judgments on these assumptions and estimates could materially impact the timing of revenue recognition.
The Company enters into agreements to sell its monitoring solutions and services, sometimes as a part of arrangements with multiple performance obligations that include various combinations of product sales, equipment leases and services. In the case of contracts with multiple deliverable arrangements,performance obligations, the authoritative guidance provides that the total consideration be allocated to each performance obligation on the basis of relative standalone selling prices. When a hierarchy to determine thestandalone selling price to be used for allocating revenue to deliverables as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value, (ii) third-party evidence ofis not readily observable, the Company estimates the standalone selling price (TPE), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (ESP). VSOE of fair value is defined as the price charged when the same element is sold separately. VSOE generally exists only when the deliverable is sold separately and is the price actually charged for that deliverable. TPE generally does not exist for the majority of the Company’s products. The objective of ESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product was sold on a stand-alone basis. In the absence of VSOE and TPE, the Company determines ESP for its products by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, features and functionality of the product, geographies, type of customer, contractual prices pursuant to Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) contracts, the Company’s pricing and discount practices, and other market conditions.
A deliverable in an arrangement qualifies as a separate unit of accounting if the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Most of the Company’s products in a multiple deliverable arrangement qualify as separate units of accounting. In the case of the Company’s monitoring equipment containing embedded Masimo SET® or rainbow SET™ software, the Company has determined that the hardware and software components function together to deliver the equipment’s essential functionality and, therefore, represent a single deliverable. However, software deliverables, such as rainbow® parameter software, which do not function together with hardware components to provide the equipment’s essential functionality, are accounted for under software revenue recognition guidance.
The revenue for these multiple-element arrangements is allocated to the software deliverables and the non-software deliverables based on the relative selling prices of all of the deliverables in the arrangement using the hierarchy in the revenue recognition accounting guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables.
Sales under long-term sensor purchase contractsdeferred equipment agreements are generally structured such that the Company agrees to provide at no up-front charge certain monitoring-related equipment, software, installation, training and/or warranty support at no up-front charge in exchange for the hospital’s agreementcustomer’s commitment to purchase sensors over the term of the agreement, which generally ranges from three years to six years. These contracts generally do not provide forThe Company allocates contract consideration under deferred equipment agreements containing fixed annual sensor purchase commitments to the underlying lease and non-lease components at contract inception.
In determining whether any payments thatunderlying lease components are not dependent uponrelated to a sales-type lease or an operating lease, the Company evaluates the customer’s rights and ability to control the use of the underlying equipment throughout the contract term, including any equipment substitution rights retained by the Company, as well as the Company’s future delivery of sensors, whichexpectations surrounding potential contract/lease extensions or renewals and the customer’s likelihood to exercise any purchase options. Revenue allocable to non-lease performance obligations is generally recognized as such non-lease performance obligations are essentialsatisfied. Revenue allocable to lease components under sales-type lease arrangements is generally recognized when control over the equipment is transferred to the functionalitycustomer. Revenue allocable to lease components under operating lease arrangements is generally recognized over the term of the monitoring equipment and, therefore, represent a substantive performance obligation. As a result, theoperating lease. The Company generally does not recognizeexpect to derive any revenue when the monitoring and related equipment and software are delivered to the hospitals, but rather recognizes revenue for these delivered elements on a pro-rata basis as the sensors are delivered under the long-term purchase commitment, when installation and training are complete. Accordingly, the cost of the monitoring and related equipment initially placed at the hospitals is deferred and amortized to cost of goods sold over the life of the underlying long-term sensor purchase contract. In cases where such contracts do provide for guaranteed payments that are unrelated to the future delivery of sensors, the Company recognizes the net presentsignificant value in excess of such payments as revenueasset’s unamortized book value from the monitoring and related equipment and expenses the cost of such equipment to cost of goods sold, as the equipment is delivered and when installation and training are complete. Some of the Company’s long-term sensor contracts also contain provisions for certain payments to be made directly to the end-user hospital customer at the inception of the arrangement. These payments are generally treated as prepaid discounts which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis as contra-revenue over the life of the underlying long-term sensor purchase contract.
Many of the Company’s distributors purchase sensor products that they then resell to end-user hospitals that are typically fulfilling their purchase obligations to the Company under such end-user hospital’s long-term sensor purchase commitments. Upon shipment to the distributor, revenue is deferred until the distributor ships the product to the Company’s end-user customers based on an estimate of the inventory held by these distributors atits operating lease arrangements after the end of the accounting period.agreement.
The Company also earns revenue from the sale of integrated circuit boards and other products, as well as from rainbow® parameter software licenses, to OEMs under various agreements. Revenue from the sale of products to end-user hospitals, emergency medical response organizations, other direct customers, distributors and OEM customers, is recognized by the OEMsCompany when control of such products transfer to the customer based upon the terms of the contract or underlying purchase order. Revenue related to OEM rainbow® parameter software licenses is generally

Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
Pursuant to authoritative guidance, the Company’s policy is to present revenue netthis agreement of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based compensation awards are currently comprised of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance share units (PSUs), all of which are equity-classified awards. For equity-classified awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, the Company estimates the fair value of the award on the date of grant and expenses stock-based compensation over the requisite service period. In the case of PSUs, the amount of expense recognized is also dependent upon the expected achievement level for the specified performance criteria. The fair value of RSU and PSU awards is the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which, in addition to taking into account the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and the option exercise price, requires the input of subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term and the number of options that will ultimately be forfeited prior to meeting their vesting requirements. The Company has elected to recognize stock-based compensation expense related to stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.approximately $0.7 million.
Shipping and Handling Costs and RevenueFees
All shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Charges for shipping and handling billed to customers are included as a component of product revenue.
Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
The Company’s policy is to present revenue net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.
Deferred Costs and Other Contract Assets
The costs of monitoring-related equipment provided to customers under operating lease arrangements within the Company’s deferred equipment agreements are generally deferred and amortized to cost of goods sold over the life of the underlying contracts. Some of the Company’s deferred equipment agreements also contain provisions for certain allowances to be made directly to the end-user hospital customer at the inception of the arrangement. These allowances are generally allocated to the lease and non-lease components and recognized as a reduction to revenue as the underlying performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company generally invoices its customers under deferred equipment agreements as sensors are provided to the customer. However, the Company may recognize revenue for certain non-lease performance obligations under deferred equipment agreements with fixed annual commitments at the time such performance obligations are satisfied and prior to the customer being invoiced. When this occurs, the Company records an unbilled contract receivable related to such revenue until the customer has been invoiced pursuant to the terms of the underlying deferred equipment agreement.
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer are capitalized and deferred if the Company expects such costs to be recoverable over the life of the contract and the contract term is greater than one year. Such deferred costs generally relate to certain incentive sales commissions earned by the Company’s internal sales team in accordanceconnection with authoritative accounting guidance.the execution of deferred equipment agreements and are amortized to expense over the expected term of the underlying contract.
Product Warranty
The Company generally provides a warranty against defects in material and workmanship for a period ranging from six months to forty-eight months, depending on the product type. In the case of long-term sales agreements, the Company typically warranties the products for the term of the agreement, which ranges from three to six years. In traditional sales activities, including direct and OEM sales, the Company establishes an accrualaccrued liability for the estimated warranty costs of warranty at the time of revenue recognition. Estimated warranty expenses are recorded as an accrued liability,recognition, with a corresponding provision to cost of goods sold. Customers may also purchase extended warranty coverage or service level upgrades separately or as part of a deferred equipment agreement. Revenue related to extended warranty coverage and service level upgrades is generally recognized over the life of the contract, andwhich reasonably approximates the period over which such services will be provided. The related extended warranty and service level upgrade costs are expensed as incurred.

The new standard clarifies that modification accounting should be applied if the award’s fair value, vesting conditions or classification as an equity or liability instrument has been changed. The amendments from this new standard are to be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual and interim fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.

Instead, the entity should recognize an impairment charge by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value not exceeding the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, the entity should consider the income tax impact when measuring the goodwill impairment loss.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09). The new standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on stock-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of stock-based awards. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17).

Under this model, an entity would recognizerecognizes an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that the entity does not expect to collect. The entity’s estimate would considerconsiders relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

In July 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13No. 2019-07, Codification Updates to SEC Sections–Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Final Rule Releases No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, and Nos. 33-10231 and 33-10442, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, and Miscellaneous Updates (ASU 2019-07). The new standard aligns the guidance in various sections of the codification with the requirements of certain already effective Securities and Exchange Commission final rules. ASU 2019-07 is effective immediately and was adopted upon issuance. The Company’s adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles–Goodwill and Other–Internal–Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15). The new standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company early adopted this standard during the three months ended September 28, 2019, and such adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13). The new standard adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements including when entities will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will need to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements.

The Company completed its adoption of all applicable items contained in ASU 2018-09 as of September 28, 2019, and such adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02). The new standard allows a reclassification for certain stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings, and requires certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02). Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-02, the FASB clarified the guidance through several ASUs. The collective guidance was codified by the FASB in ASC 842,which, among other things (i) requires the Company to recognize an ROU asset and a lease liability for all operating leases for which the Company is the lessee; (ii) changes the classification of certain embedded leases within the Company’s deferred equipment agreements with earlyits customers from operating to sales-type leases, resulting in the acceleration of revenue under certain contracts, as well as the immediate expensing of certain costs that were previously deferred and expensed over the term of the lease; and (iii) requires disclosures by the Company as a lessor and lessee about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from its leases.
On December 30, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective method for all lease arrangements at the beginning of the period of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning December 30, 2018 are presented under ASC 842, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under ASC 840, Leases. Adoption of this new accounting standard had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon adoption, but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings and cash flows for the year ended December 28, 2019. For leases that commenced before the effective date of ASC 842, the Company did not elect any of the permitted practical expedients. However, the Company utilized a portfolio approach for purposes of determining the discount rate associated with certain equipment leases and made certain accounting policy elections not to separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases and to exclude short-term leases with a term of twelve months or less from its application of ASC 842.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
In connection with its adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded lessee operating lease ROU assets and lessee operating lease liabilities of $22.5 million as of December 30, 2018, primarily related to real estate and equipment leases, based on the present value of the future lease payments on such date. As a lessor, the Company also recorded customer lease receivables of $62.0 million, a reduction to equipment leased to customers (formerly titled deferred cost of goods sold) of $103.5 million, an increase to deferred tax assets of $8.6 million, a decrease to deferred revenue and contract-related liabilities of $9.1 million, an increase in other current liabilities of $3.0 million and a cumulative net decrease to retained earnings of $26.8 million, all related to the reclassification of certain embedded leases in existing deferred equipment agreements from operating to sales-type leases as of December 30, 2018.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). The standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing exceptions to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary, and to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. In addition, the standard requires that an entity recognize a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction and reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date, and specifies that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; however, an entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority. The Company’s adoption of this standard, effective as of January 3, 2021, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The standard provides updates for technical corrections, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements across various areas of accounting within GAAP.

The Company’s adoption of this standard, effective as of January 3, 2021, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2021-08). The standard requires companies to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. This creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805. ASU 2021-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.2022, and for interim periods within those years, and should be adopted prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s early adoption of this standard, effective January 3, 2021, did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (ASU 2020-04).The standard provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance in GAAP on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). Entities can make a one-time election to sell and/or reclassify held-to-maturity debt securities that reference an interest rate affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply this standard prospectively through December 31, 2022. The relief is temporary and generally cannot be applied to contract modifications that occur after December 31, 2022 or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after that date. However, certain optional expedients can be applied to hedging relationships evaluated in periods after December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets but continue to recognize lease expenses in their statement of operations in a manner similar to current practice. The new standard states that a lessee will recognize a lease liability forclarified the obligation to make lease paymentsscope and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Expense related to leases determined to be operating leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis, while those determined to be financing leases will be recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of Topic 842 on its consolidated financial statements, but anticipates that, among other things, the required recognition of a lease liability and related right-of-use asset will significantly increase both the assets and liabilities recognized and reported on its balance sheet. In addition, the Company expects that certain leases that are currently treated as “operating leases” will be treated as “sale type” leases under the new standard, resulting in the acceleration of revenue and costs for certain contracts, and the acceleration of certain costs without any related revenue acceleration for other contracts. The Company currently expects to complete its assessment of the full financial impact of the new lease accounting guidance during the next nine-to-twelve months and adopt the standardoriginal guidance. ASU No. 2021-01 is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 30, 2018.

Also, when the fair value option has been elected for financial liabilities, changes in fair value dueincludes or is subsequent to instrument-specific credit risk will be recognized separately in other comprehensive income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted for certain provisions.March 12, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the expected impact of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

The newThis standard provides a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers while enhancing disclosures about revenue, providing additional guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective. The standard permitsamends the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method upon adoption. In August 2015, the FASB issuedoriginal ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (ASU 2015-14), which amended2016-02 lease standard by requiring lessors to classify leases as operating leases if they have variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate and would have selling losses at lease commencement if they were classified as sales-type.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing (ASU 2016-10), which amended ASU 2014-09 by providing clarity in identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12), which further amended ASU 2014-09 by providing additional clarity in recognizing revenue from contracts that have been modified prior to the transition period to the new standard, as well as providing additional disclosure requirements for businesses and other organizations that make the transition to the new standard by adjusting amounts from prior reporting periods via retrospective application. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2016-20).

Early adoption is permitted.
The Company is continuing to evaluateadopting this standard prospectively, and is currently evaluating the expected impact of the new revenue guidance contained in Topic 606this standard on its consolidated financial statements. Although Topic 606Upon adoption, the Company anticipates that, among other things, the classification of certain new leases for which the Company is the lessor will not change from sales-type leases to operating leases when evaluated at the totaltime of lease commencement. As a result, the equipment costs associated with such new operating leases will initially be deferred and subsequently amortized to expense over the term of the lease, rather than being immediately recognized upon lease commencement. Similarly, revenue orassociated with such new operating earningsleases will be recognized over the lifeterm of the Company’s contracts, it will impactlease, rather than being immediately recognized on the timing for recognition of certain contract revenues and costs. Specifically, the Company expects that the adoption of Topic 606 will, among other things, result in the following: (a) the acceleration of certain revenue from product sales to distributors that is currently deferred under the “sell-through” method; (b) the acceleration of revenue related to certain software/parameter sales; (c) the acceleration of costs related to certain contracts where the future consideration will now be treated as an optional purchase; and (d) the capitalization and amortization of certain contract-related costs that are currently expensed when incurred. Topic 606 also includes expanded disclosure requirements, including the disaggregation of revenue, significant judgments made with regard to revenue recognition, information about remaining performance obligations and contract costs, among other disclosures. The Company’s ability to adopt the new revenue standard retrospectively is dependent upon the completiondate of the analysis of alllease commencement. The Company currently expects to complete its assessment of the information necessary to restate prior periodfull financial statements and disclosures. Accordingly, the Company is continuing to evaluate its adoption method for this new standard. The Company anticipates that its internal control framework will not

As the Company implements this new standard it will continue to develop additional internal controls to ensure that it adequately evaluates its contracts underduring the five-step model and accurately reports its current and any required prior-period operating results, as well as all required disclosures. When adopted, the Company expects to recognize a cumulative increase to retained earnings of between $15.0 million to $20.0 million as of December 30, 2017.next three months.

Valuation of Stock-Based Award Activity
The fair value of each RSU awardand PSU is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of stock options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The range of assumptions used and the resulting weighted-average fair value of stock options granted at the date of grant were as follows:

| Weighted-average fair value of options granted | $27.81 per share | | $13.64 per share | | $12.20 per share |
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected term of the Company’s stock options.
Expected term. The expected term represents the average period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding. The expected term is based on both the Company’s specific historical option exercise experience, as well as expected term information available from a peer group of companies with a similar vesting schedule.
Estimated volatility. The estimated volatility is the amount by which the Company’s share price is expected to fluctuate during a period. The Company’s estimated volatilities for 2017, 2016fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 20152019 are based on historical and implied volatilities of the Company’s share price over the expected term of the option.
Expected dividends. The Board may from time to time declare, and the Company may pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by law. Any determination to declare and pay dividends will be made by the Board and will depend upon the Company’s results of operations, earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, business prospects, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the Board. In the event a dividend is declared,
MASIMO CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
there is no assurance with respect to the amount, timing or frequency of any such dividends. The dividend declared in 2012 was deemed to be a special dividend and there is no assurance that special dividends will be declared again during the expected term. Based on this uncertainty and unknown frequency, for the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 andJanuary 1, 2022, January 2, 2016,2021 and December 28, 2019, no dividend rate was used in the assumptions to calculate the stock-based compensation expense.
Estimated forfeiture rate. The Company is required to develop an estimate of the number of stock options and RSUs that will be forfeited due to employee turnover. Adjustments in the estimated forfeiture rates can have a significant effect on the Company’s reported stock-based compensation, as it recognizes the cumulative effect of the rate adjustments for all expense amortization in the period the estimated forfeiture rates were adjusted. The Company estimates and adjusts forfeiture rates based on a periodic review of recent forfeiture activity and expected future employee turnover. Adjustments in the estimated forfeiture rates could also cause changes in the amount of expense that it recognizes in future periods.
The Company has elected to recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.award, net of forfeitures. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized as they occur. The total fair value of all options that vested during fiscal years 2017, 20162021, 2020 and 20152019 was $27.8$15.2 million, $10.6$15.1 million and $10.4$14.2 million, respectively.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options is calculated as the positive difference, if any, between the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise or the respective period end, as appropriate, and the exercise price of the options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, with an exercise price less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as of December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 was $339.7$628.1 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable, with an exercise price less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as of December 30, 2017January 1, 2022 was $223.1$512.5 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 andJanuary 1, 2022, January 2, 20162021 and December 28, 2019 was $140.3$84.7 million, $57.0$355.3 million and $26.4$93.9 million, respectively.
The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation expense was $39.2$16.4 million, $16.2$30.4 million and $3.7$15.7 million for the years ended December 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 andJanuary 1, 2022, January 2, 2016,2021 and December 28, 2019, respectively. During the year ended December 30, 2017, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-09, which resulted in changes to the recognition of excess tax benefits for stock-based compensation. Please see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies under the subheading “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” for additional information on the impact of such adoption.

The 2017 Tax Act significantly changedDuring the U.S. corporateyear ended December 28, 2019, the Company completed its analysis of the income tax system. The changes included, among other things, a one-time transition tax on the “deemed repatriation” of cumulative undistributed foreign earnings as of December 31, 2017, and a permanent reductioneffects of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35%Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act) and, pursuant to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Under GAAP, the effect of a change in tax rate or tax law is accounted for in the period of enactment and deferred assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted tax rate.
On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, (SAB 118)recorded an adjustment of approximately $0.9 million to addressreduce its previously estimated accrual based on additional information and guidance that became available with respect to the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act and provides for a measurement period of one year from the enactment date to finalize the accounting for effectsprovisions of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company has calculated its best estimateU.S. Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and other standard-setting bodies will continue to interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the tax impact related to the 2017 Tax Act andwill be applied or otherwise administered. As future guidance is issued, the Company may make adjustments to amounts that it has previously recorded a provisional expense of $43.5 million, of which $9.0 million relates to the re-measurement of deferredthat may materially impact its provision for income taxes due to the reduction in the federal corporate tax rate, $28.0 million relates to the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, and $6.5 million relates to estimated foreign withholding taxes, net of estimated foreign tax credit benefit, and state income taxes related to the Company’s decision to repatriate up to $180.0 million of accumulated undistributed foreign earnings to the U.S.period in the future.which such adjustments are made.
As of December 30, 2017,January 1, 2022, the Company hadhas accumulated undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries of approximately $217.4$267.1 million. Because such earnings have previously been subject to U.S. tax, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of its foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign withholding and state taxes. The Company considers $86.5 million of cumulativethese accumulated undistributed earnings subject to the transition tax. The Companyas no longer permanently reinvested and has recorded provisionalaccrued foreign withholding and state taxes, net of estimated foreign tax credits,

The Company intends, however, to $180.0indefinitely reinvest the remaining $180.6 million of cumulative undistributed earnings that the Company has tentatively decided are no longer permanently reinvested. The Company currently considers the remaining undistributed earnings of $37.4 million to continue to be indefinitely reinvested and has not recorded any incremental foreign withholding or state taxes related to such amount.earnings. If the Company decideddecides to distribute such permanently reinvested earnings, the Company would accrue estimated additional income tax expense of up to $1.9approximately $8.6 million.
In accordance with SAB 118, the ultimate impact of the 2017 Tax Act may differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, refinement of the underlying calculation or earnings and profits, changes in underlying interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and other actions the Company may take as a result of the 2017 Tax Act. In addition, and in light of the 2017 Tax Act, the Company is still evaluating its indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to its cumulative undistributed earnings and considers its current conclusion related thereto to be incomplete in accordance with SAB 118. The Company expects to complete its accounting for the implementation of the 2017 Tax Act no later than the time that the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018. Any subsequent adjustments to the amounts that have been provisionally accrued will be recorded to tax expense during the quarter within the measurement period when the analysis is completed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (continued)
The Company possesses licenses from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control for conducting business with certain countries identified by the State Department as state sponsors of terrorism. Although the Company does not have any subsidiaries, affiliates, offices, investments or employees in any country identified as a state sponsor of terrorism, the Company has conducted an immaterial amount of business with distributors in Iran during the three fiscal years presented. The Company has not sold products to distributors in Sudan and Syria since fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The Company does not believe that these activities are material to its business, financial condition or results of operations.
19. Quarterly Financial Data (unaudited)
The healthcare business in the United States and overseas is typically subject to quarterly fluctuations in hospital and other alternative care admissions. Although this did not occur during fiscal year 2017, the Company’s third fiscal quarter revenues have historically experienced a sequential decline from its second fiscal quarter revenues. The Company believes this is primarily due to the summer vacation season during which people tend to avoid elective procedures. Another factor affecting the seasonality of the Company’s quarterly revenues is the traditional “flu season” that often increases hospital and acute care facility admissions in the first and fourth calendar quarters. Because the Company’s non-sales variable operating expenses often do not fluctuate in the same manner as its quarterly product sales, this may cause fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly operating income that are disproportionate to fluctuations in its quarterly revenue.
