BeginningDisaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue recognized from contracts with customers by geography and reportable segments consistent with the way in fiscal year 2020, we are presenting Acquisition-related intangible asset amortizationwhich management operates and views the business. See Note 11. Segment Reporting for the presentation of the Company's revenue disaggregation.

Contract Balances

Contract liabilities represent deferred revenues that arise as a separate line itemresult of cash received from customers at inception of contracts or where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of our performance obligations. Such remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the contract price for which work has not been performed and are primarily related to our installation and service contracts. These contract liabilities are recorded in Deferred revenue and Other long-term liabilities. We expect to satisfy the majority of the remaining performance obligations and recognize revenue related to installation and service contracts within 12 to 24 months.

Rental Revenue

We make certain products available to customers under short-term lease arrangements. Rental usage of these products is provided as an alternative to product sales and is short-term in nature. Products primarily include smart beds, including, but not limited to, bariatric, intensive care unit, maternity, and home care beds, as well as surfaces. These lease arrangements provide our customers with our products during periods of peak demand or often times for specialty purposes. Additionally, we provide wearable, non-invasive ventilation products to patients covered by monthly medical insurance reimbursements, which are considered month-to-month leasing arrangements. Income arising from these lease arrangements where we are the lessor is recognized within Rental revenue. We accounted for these lease arrangements as operating leases.

Warranties and Guarantees

We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year; however, certain components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters, which might require a field corrective action, separate reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated.

In the normal course of business, we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners and others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications to service providers and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees and indemnifications have not historically had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, nor do we expect them to although indemnifications associated with our actions generally have no dollar limitations.

In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of our commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. With respect to divestitures, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have an adverse impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Testing for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment is performed annually, or on an interim basis upon the occurrence of a triggering event or change in circumstances that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. The annual evaluations of goodwill and the indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment were performed as of April 30, 2020 and did not result in any impairment.

For the Surgical Solutions segment, we continue to expect near-term lower demand for operating room infrastructure due to project delays as customers are currently focusing on the demands of the pandemic.

Slower recovery resulting from extended project delays, an increase in discount rates, unfavorable changes in earnings multiples, or a decline in future cash flow projections, among other factors, may cause a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable. If future financial assumptions significantly differ from those evaluated in the assessment noted above due to duration or magnitude of the impact of COVID-19, we can provide no assurance that a future goodwill impairment charge would not be incurred.

Government Programs Related to COVID-19

On March 25, 2020, the U.S. government approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the pandemic. The governments in certain other non-U.S. countries have also approved legislation in their jurisdictions to address the impact of the pandemic. We have evaluated our eligibility and assessed the conditions and requirements of participation in many programs. For the programs in whichAs of December 31, 2020, we have elected to participate, we recognized $2.4 million in government grants and cost abatements associated with state aid within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, we have deferred the payment of the employer share of the U.S. Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) tax payments totaling $6.9$21.2 million in accordance with the CARES Act within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020.Sheet. We continue to evaluate what impact, if any, the CARES Act, or any similar legislation in other non-U.S. jurisdictions, may have on our results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequently issued related amendments, collectively referred to as “ASC 842”. The objective of this guidance is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations through recognizing leased assets, called right-of-use assets (“ROU”), and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. As a lessee, the new standard requires us to recognize both the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet for most leases, whereas under previous GAAP only finance lease liabilities (referred to as capital leases) were recognized in the balance sheet. In addition, for both lessees and lessors, the definition of a lease has been revised, which may result in changes to the classification of an arrangement as a lease. Under the new standard, an arrangement that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset by obtaining substantially all of its economic benefits and directing how it is used is a lease, whereas the previous definition focused on the ability to control the use of the asset or to obtain its output. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to the amount, timing and judgments of an entity’s accounting for leases and the related cash flows are expanded under the new standard. Disclosure requirements apply to both lessees and lessors, whereas previous disclosures related only to lessees. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of revenues, expenses, and cash flows arising from a lease have not significantly changed from previous GAAP.

We adopted ASC 842 effective October 1, 2019 using the optional transition method approach. We elected the package of practical expedients, which applies to both lessees and lessors, to (1) not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, (2) carryforward the existing lease classification, and (3) not reassess initial direct costs associated with existing leases.

As a lessee, the adoption of the guidance on October 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $82.5 million and lease liabilities of $85.8 million, which all related to operating leases. The ROU assets were lower than the lease liabilities due to the derecognition of deferred rent balances of $3.3 million. As a lessor, there was no impact as a result of the adoption. We did not recognize any adjustment to the comparative period presented in the financial statements in accordance with our adoption method. The guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

See Note 7. Leases for additional information on the impacts of ASC 842.

Table of Contents
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test and requires a goodwill impairment to be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of its goodwill. ASU 2017-04 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and requires a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and the guidance did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The purpose of the standard is to allow the use of the OIS rate based on the SOFR for hedge accounting purposes, which allows entities to designate changes in the fair values of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities attributable to the OIS rate as the hedged risk.  The amendment recognizes the OIS rate based on the SOFR as likely London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) replacements and supports the marketplace transition by adding the new reference rate as a benchmark rate. We adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption of this ASU did not impact our financial statements as we have not yet utilized the OIS rate based on the SOFR for borrowings under our lending arrangements or as a benchmark rate for hedge accounting purposes. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The purpose of the standard is to provide guidance for the effects of the marketplace transition from LIBOR to a new reference rate as a benchmark rate.  ASU 2020-04 is optional and is effective for a limited period of time from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We will continue to monitor, assess, and plan for the phase out of LIBOR.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments CreditInstruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments and has subsequently issued related amendments, collectively referred to as“Topic “Topic 326”. Topic 326 requires entities to measure credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will recognizeThis adoption primarily impacted our trade accounts receivables. Under the current expected credit losses throughloss model, we review receivables for collectability based on an allowanceassessment of various factors, including historical collection experience for credit losses. Topic 326 is effectiveeach receivable type and expectations of forward-looking loss estimates, and individual receivables are also reviewed for collectability based on unique circumstances. Any adjustments made to our historical loss experience reflect current differences in asset-specific risk characteristics, including, customer type (public or government entity versus private entity) and geographic location of the customer. We adopted ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 using the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. The cumulative effect of applying Topic 326 were an increase to the allowance for credit losses of $3.0 million and requiresdeferred tax assets of $0.8 million with a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently incorresponding decrease to the processopening balance of evaluating the impactRetained earnings of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.$2.2 million.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of fair value disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2021 and requires the application of the prospective method of transition (for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption) to the new disclosure requirements for (1) changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income and (2) the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also requires prospective application to any modifications to disclosures made because of the change to the requirements for the narrative description of measurement uncertainty. The effects of all other amendments made by ASU 2018-13 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. We are currentlyadopted ASU 2018-13 in the processfirst quarter of evaluating thefiscal 2021. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 had no impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation Retirement Benefits Defined Benefit Plans General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The purpose of the standard is to improve the overall usefulness of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. ASU 2018-14 is effective for our annual disclosures for fiscal 2021 and requires a retrospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 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. This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement to be consistent 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).

Debt Covenants

As of June 30,December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our financing agreements.

Note 6.5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates and variability in foreign currency exchange rates. We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks. We employ cash flow hedges, net investment hedges, and other derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting to manage these risks.

15

Table of Contents
Cash Flow Hedges

To manage our exposure to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates, we enter into interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. As of JuneDecember 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million to hedge the variability of cash flows through August 2024 associated with a portion of the variable interest rate payments on outstanding borrowings under our Senior Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2019, we had interest rate swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with a portion of the variable interest rate payments on outstanding borrowings under our Senior Credit Agreement through September 2021.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates due to our international operations. We enter into currency exchange contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific and projected transactions. We operate this program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations, and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currencies. Our currency risk consists primarily of foreign currency denominated firm commitments and projected foreign currency denominated intercompany and third-party transactions. As of JuneDecember 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the notional amount of outstanding currency exchange contracts was $13.6 million. As of September 30, 2019, the notional amount of outstanding currency exchange contracts was $6.7 million.$42.2 million and $64.4 million, respectively. The maximum length of time over which we hedge transaction exposures is generally 1512 months. Derivative gains and losses, initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are reclassified to earnings in the period when the underlying transaction affects earnings.

Table of Contents
Net Investment Hedges

As of June 30,December 31, 2020, we had cross-currency swap agreements, with an aggregate notional amount of $198.3 million, to hedge the variability of net assets due to changes in the U.S. dollar-Euro spot exchange rates through July 2023. These cross-currency swaps are designated as net investment hedges of subsidiaries using the Euro as their functional currency. 

We assess hedge effectiveness under the spot-to-spot method and record changes in fair value attributable to the translation of foreign currencies through Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We amortize the impact of all other changes in fair value of the derivatives through Interest expense, which was an income of $1.3 million and $3.9 million for both the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Undesignated Derivative Instruments

We use forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange revaluation risk associated with recorded monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. These derivative instruments are not formally designated as hedges and the terms of these instruments generally do not exceed one month. As of JuneDecember 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, we had forward contracts not designated as hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $155.4 million. As of September 30, 2019, we had forward contracts not designated as hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $76.7 million. $157.5 million and $169.9 million, respectively.

Note 7. Leases

Hillrom as the Lessee

We determine if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at contract inception. We lease real estate, automobiles, and equipment under various operating leases. A lease liability and ROU asset is recognized for operating leases with terms greater than one year at the lease commencement date. The lease liability is measured as the present value of all remaining fixed payments calculated using our estimated secured incremental borrowing rate. The ROU asset is measured as the sum of the lease liability and any initial indirect costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. We use our estimated secured incremental borrowing rate as most lease agreements do not specify an interest rate. Our lease agreements include leases that have both lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for lease components and the associated non-lease components as a single lease component.

2016

Table of ContentsContents
Our leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 8 years. Many of our real estate and equipment leases include options to renew. Renewal periods are generally not included when calculating the remaining lease term unless we are reasonably certain to exercise a renewal option based on beneficial terms or significance of the leased asset to our operations.

In addition to defined benefit retirement plans, we also offer two postretirement health care plans in the United States that provide health care benefits to qualified retirees and their dependents. The plans are closed to new participants and include retiree cost sharing provisions and generally extend retiree coverage for medical and prescription benefits beyond the COBRA continuation period to the date of Medicare eligibility. Annual costs related to these plans are not significant.

On March 9, In connection with the voluntary early retirement plan offered in September 2020, we transferred pension assets totaling $40.6incurred $0.2 million of special termination benefits related to purchase annuity contracts forour postretirement health care plan. The amount was recorded as a certain population of retirees with a third-party insurance company. As a result, we recognized a non-cash settlement loss of $8.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, which is recorded as a component of Investment income (expense) and other, netSpecial charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 8. Special Charges for further information.

We have defined contribution savings plans that cover substantially all U.S. employees and certain non-U.S. employees. The general purpose of these plans is to provide additional financial security in retirement by providing employees with an incentive to regularly save a portion of their earnings. Our contributions to the plans are based on eligibility and, in some cases, employee contributions. Expense under these plans was $7.3$7.8 million and $23.6$6.2 million for the three and nine monthsquarterly periods ended June 30,December 31, 2020 and $6.9 million and $21.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019.

Global Information Technology Transformation

Management pursues opportunities to align our operations to achieve synergies and position the business for growth. In fiscal 2018, a global transformation program was launched that was focused on reducing complexity, increasing efficiency, and improving our cost structure with targeted investments that align with our strategic priorities.

As part of this program,2019, management launched an initiative related toinitiated a global information technology transformation, including rationalizing and transforming our enterprise resource planning software solutions and other complementary information technology systems. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $9.0 million related to this initiative of which $2.3 million was capitalized and $6.7 million was expensed in Special charges. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $28.3 million related to this initiative of which $13.0 million was capitalized and $15.3 million was expensed in Special charges.

The objective of this initiative is to consolidate and streamline our key workstreams that interact with customers and vendors and support our financial reporting processes while maintaining the security of our data. The solutions designed under this initiative will be implemented over the next five to seven years.

Integration-Related Activities

We incurred costs, including severance and benefit costs, associated with other business realignment and integration activities.activities focused on reducing complexity, increasing efficiency, and improving our cost structure. We acquired several businesses in fiscal 2019 and 2020 as disclosed within Note 4.3.

Note 11.9. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2020 was 21.9% comparedwas 17.9% compared to 28.7%6.6% for the comparable period in the prior year. The rate was lower in the prior year period primarily due to the favorable impact of excess tax benefits on deductible stock compensation compared to the current year period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was favorably impacted primarily by an increased projected benefit for the deduction attributed to foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”) as well as larger unfavorable impacts from discrete items in the prior comparable period.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was 17.8% compared to 20.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was favorably impacted primarily by an increased projected benefit for the deduction attributed to FDII as well as a small benefit from current year discrete items. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2020December 31, 2019 was also favorably impacted by the reduction of the contingent consideration accrual of $8.4 million, that iswas not subject to tax.

Included in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 tax provision is additional tax expense of $4.1 million as a result of a change in the taxable gain from the disposition of certain of our surgical consumable products and related assets, which occurred in August 2019.

Note 12.10. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares for the period, plus the effect of deferred vested shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated consistent with the basic earnings per share calculation plus the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to stock-based employee compensation programs. For all periods presented, anti-dilutive stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Cumulative treasury stock acquired, less cumulative shares reissued, have been excluded in determining the average number of shares outstanding.

Note 13. Warranties and Guarantees

We routinely grant limited warranties on our products with respect to defects in material and workmanship. The terms of these warranties are generally one year, however, certain components and products have substantially longer warranty periods. We recognize a reserve with respect to these obligations at the time of product sale, with subsequent warranty claims recorded directly against the reserve. The amount of the warranty reserve is determined based on historical trend experience for the covered products. For more significant warranty-related matters that might require a broad-based correction, separate reserves are established when such events are identified and the cost of correction can be reasonably estimated.

The following summarizes accrued product warranty activity for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.

Provision for warranties in the period5.2  13.0  
Warranty claims in the period(3.7) (12.2) 
Balance as of end of period$30.5  $30.5  

In the normal course of business, we enter into various other guarantees and indemnities in our relationships with suppliers, service providers, customers, business partners, and others. Examples of these arrangements would include guarantees of product performance, indemnifications to service providers, and indemnifications of our actions to business partners. These guarantees and indemnifications have not historically had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, nor do we expect them to, although indemnifications associated with our actions generally have no dollar limitations.

In conjunction with our acquisition and divestiture activities, we have entered into select guarantees and indemnifications of performance with respect to the fulfillment of commitments under applicable purchase and sale agreements. The arrangements generally indemnify the buyer or seller for damages associated with breach of contract, inaccuracies in representations, and warranties surviving the closing date and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments retained under the applicable contract. With respect to sale transactions, we also routinely enter into non-competition agreements for varying periods of time. Guarantees and indemnifications with respect to acquisition and divestiture activities, if triggered, could have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Note 14.11. Segment Reporting

We disclose segment information that is consistent with the way in which management operates and views the business. Our operating structure contains the following reportable segments:

Patient Support Systems – globally provides an ecosystem of our digital and connected care solutions: devices, software, communications and integration technologies that improve care and deliver actionable insights to caregivers and patients in the acute care setting. Key products include care communications and mobility solutions, connected med-surg and specialtyICU bed systems, sensors and surfaces, safe patient handling equipment and mobility solutions, as well as our care communications platform that delivers software and information technologies to improve care and deliver actionable insight to caregivers and patients.services.

Front Line Care – globally provides integrated patient monitoring and diagnostic technologies including a diversified– from hospital to home – that enable and support Hillrom’s connected care strategy. Our diverse portfolio of physicalincludes secure, connected, digital assessment tools thattechnologies to help diagnose, treat and manage a wide variety of illnesses and diseases, including respiratory therapy, cardiology, vision screening and a portfolio of vision care health devices.physical assessment.

Surgical Solutions – globally providesenables peak procedural performance, connectivity and video integration products that improve collaboration, workflow, safety and efficiency in the operating room, such as surgical space, includingvideo technologies, tables, lights, pendants, precision positioning devices and other accessories.

Our performance within each reportable segment continues to be measured on a divisional income basis before non-allocated operating and administrative costs, litigation, special charges, acquisition and integration costs, acquisition-related intangible

asset amortization, and other unusual events. Divisional income generally represents the division’s gross profit, excluding acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, less its direct operating costs along with an allocation of manufacturing and distribution costs, research and development, and certain corporate functional expenses.

Non-allocated operating costs, administrative costs, and other includes functional expenses that support the entire organization such as administration, finance, legal and human resources, expenses associated with strategic developments, acquisition-related intangible asset amortization, and other events that are not indicative of operating trends. We exclude such amounts from divisional income to allow management to evaluate and understand divisional operating trends. The chief operating decision maker does not receive any asset information by reportable segment and, accordingly, we do not report asset information by reportable segment.

Effective for fiscal 2020, the allocation of operating costs to each segment was modified to improve the alignment to how management evaluates the performance of each segment. The fiscal 2019 segment information has been recast to conform to the current presentation. The reclassification did not impact our reported Consolidated Net Revenue or Income Before Income Taxes.

Note 15.12. Commitments and Contingencies

General

We are subject to various claims and contingencies arising out of the normal course of business, including those relating to governmental investigations and proceedings, commercial transactions, product liability, employee related matters, antitrust, safety, health, taxes, environmental and other matters. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and the outcome of individual litigated matters is not predictable with assurance. It is possible that some litigation matters for which reserves have not been established could be decided unfavorably to us, and that any such unfavorable decisions could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Self-Insurance

We are involved in various claims, including product and general liability, workers’ compensation, auto liability and employment related matters. Such claims in the United States have deductibles and self-insured retentions at various limits up to $1.0 million per occurrence or per claim, depending upon the type of coverage and policy period. International deductibles and self-insured retentions are lower. We are also generally self-insured up to certain stop-loss limits for certain employee health benefits, including medical, drug, and dental. Our policy is to estimate reserves based upon a number of factors including known claims, estimated incurred but not reported claims and outside actuarial analysis, which are based on historical information along with certain assumptions about future events. Such estimated reserves are classified as Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities.

Item 2.    MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements and our 20192020 Form 10-K.

Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Hillrom,” “we,(“we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on August 7, 1969 in the State of Indiana and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. We are a global medical technology leader whose approximately 10,000 employees have a single purpose: enhancing outcomes for patients and their caregivers by Advancing Connected CareTMCare™. Around the world, our innovations touch over 7 million patients each day. Our products and services help enable earlier diagnosis and treatment, optimize surgical efficiency and accelerate patient recovery while simplifying clinical communication and shifting care closer to home. We make these outcomes possible through connected smart beds, patient lifts, patient assessment and monitoring technologies, caregiver collaboration tools, respiratory health devices, advanced equipment for the surgical space and more, delivering actionable, real-time insights at the point of care.

The Impacts of COVID-19 on Hillrom

COVID-19 has impacted global economies as travel, leisure and discretionary consumer spending has reduced significantly causing companies to make commensurate changes to their investments, human capital, and financial outlooks. The United States and countries around the world continue to take precautionary and preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Recently, prospects for an eventual path out of the crisis have improved as COVID-19 vaccines were authorized for use globally and governments began executing plans to distribute the vaccines to the public as supplies become available over the course of fiscal 2021. However, near-term outlook remains uncertain due to external factors such as policymaker decisions to remove certain restrictions, availability and distribution of vaccines and people's willingness to take the vaccine.

Revenues and Customers

Hillrom continues to experience fluctuations in demand across its portfolio of products as health care customers manage the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Due to an increase in COVID-19 confirmed cases and hospitalizations that were attributed to holiday travel, we experienced higher demand for select products within Patient Support Systems such as intensive care unit and med-surg beds and specialty surfaces, including our rental portfolio.

We also experienced higher than expected recovery in portions of our remaining portfolio that had previously been limited due to hospital access and doctor office restrictions.

For the remainder of fiscal 2021, we expect hospitals and physician practices to advance toward more normal operating activities as efforts continue across the world to control the spread of COVID-19 through improved testing and contact tracing and the availability and distribution of an effective vaccine.

Operations and Workforce

We have experienced no significant supply chain constraints nor significant increases in supply costs, and we were able to secure raw materials and components for manufacturing products in high demand due to COVID-19.

Our production facilities have remained open and employment levels have remained consistent. Many employees in our administrative functions have effectively continued to work remotely since mid-March 2020. We have implemented the necessary precautions to allow our employees to work safely and effectively in our manufacturing and service facilities. In other areas of the business, we have adapted our processes and used technology to continue to effectively execute on our strategic priorities as well as daily operating activities.

We will continue to assess our workforce requirements in response to evolving customer demand related to COVID-19.

As disclosed in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we have benefited from government programs within the various jurisdictions in which we operate in the form of subsidies, incentives, cost relief and payment deferrals. Management will continue to evaluate these opportunities as well as the related requirements or restrictions to support our operations and workforce in a manner that allows us to continue to operate efficiently and effectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes are presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP, we routinely provide operating margin, income before taxes, income tax expense and earnings per diluted share results on an adjusted basis as we believe these measures contribute to the understanding of our financial performance, provide additional analytical tools to understand our results from core operations and reveal underlying operating trends. These measures exclude strategic developments, acquisition and integration costs and related fair value adjustments, gains and losses associated with disposals of businesses or significant product lines, regulatory costs related to updating existing product registrations to comply with the European Medical Device Regulations, Special charges as described in Note 10.8. Special Charges the transitional impacts of this Form 10-Q, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), changes in tax accounting methods, and other tax law changes as described in Note 11. Income Taxes within the 20192020 Form 10-K, expenses associated with these tax items, the impacts of significant litigation matters, certain impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other unusual events. We also exclude expenses associated with the amortization of purchased intangible assets. These adjustments are made to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding their impact on operating income and earnings per diluted share.

Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business. Investors
should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

In addition, we present certain results on a constant currency basis, which compares results between periods as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained consistent period-over-period. We monitor sales performance on an adjusted basis that eliminates the positive or negative effects that result from translating international sales into U.S. dollars. We calculate constant currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period. We believe that evaluating growth in net revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment to both management and investors.

Our financing agreements contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, the making of restricted payments and the incurrenceoccurrence of additional secured and unsecured indebtedness. None of our financing agreements contain any credit rating triggers that would increase or decrease our cost of borrowings. Credit rating changes can, however, impact the cost of borrowings and any potential future borrowings under any new financing agreements.

Cash provided by operating activities increased $13.7$23.2 million for the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2020 compared to the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2019 primarily due to higher net income which isand lower inventory levels, partially offset by a reduction in liabilities due to the builduptiming of inventoryvendor payments and higher incentive compensation payments as compared to meet customer demand.the prior year.

Other Liquidity Matters

Our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations may be used to fund strategic investments, business acquisitions, working capital needs, capital expenditures, investments in technology and marketing, share repurchases and payments of dividends to our shareholders. We believe that our cash balances and cash flows generated from operations, along with amounts available under our financing agreements, will be sufficient to fund operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements, and financing obligations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

As of June 30, 2020, there were $115.0 million outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,077.8 million after giving effect to the $7.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2019, there were $80.0 million outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,112.8 million after giving effect to $7.2 million of outstanding standby letters of credit.

Our cash flows from operating activities for the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2020 were not materially adversely impacted by COVID-19. There have been no changes to our cost of or access to our capital and funding sources. We have not identified instability with the financial institutions with whom we maintain our financing relationships. We believe we should be able tocan continue to service our outstanding borrowings or other financial obligations.

We intend to continue to pursue inorganic growth in certain areas of our business. On January 15, 2021, we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Bardy Diagnostics, Inc. (“Bardy”). The Bardy business develops and delivers cardiac arrhythmia monitoring devices. The purchase price for the Bardy acquisition consists of initial cash consideration of $375.0 million, subject to closing conditions and certain post-closing adjustments, and we expect to fund the initial cash consideration through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. As noted inNote 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we currently are assessing the recent reimbursement rate decision and the potential impacts of that decision on the Bardy business.

On January 28, 2021, we acquired the contact-free continuous monitoring intellectual property and technology from EarlySense Ltd. in exchange for consideration consisting of a cash payment of $30.0 million, a portion of our non-marketable equity investment in EarlySense Ltd. of $25.5 million and forgiveness of a prepayment of approximately $2.0 million.

See "Note 3. Business Combinations" in the notes to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our recent business combination activity.

As of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity was $1,191.0 million after giving effect to the $9.0 million of outstanding standby letters of credit.

Our long-term debt instruments require nominal repayments over the next 12 months, with our next significant maturity occurring in August 2024. Since the beginning of the global COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, we have not experienced liquidity constraints through either the movement of cash or under our Revolving Credit Facility. Furthermore, we have successfully extended our 364-day accounts receivable securitization facilities as of April 27, 2020. As of June 30,December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under our financing agreements. See Note 5.4. Financing Agreements for additional information on our financing agreements.

We do not anticipate incurring significant incremental capital expenditures due to the pandemic. We will continue to evaluate the allocation of our capital spending and may delay discretionary capital spending or redirect capital spending to support the increased demand for certain products used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Over the long term, we intend to continue to pursue inorganic growth in certain areas of our business, but the timing, size or success of any acquisition effort and the related potential capital commitments cannot be predicted.

We intend to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends comparable to those paid in the periods covered by these financial statements. However, the declaration and payment of dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of our Board and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, covenants associated with debt obligations, legal requirements and other factors considered relevant by our Board.

As of June 30,December 31, 2020, approximately 52.5%52.8% of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30,December 31, 2020, our practice and intention were to reinvest the earnings in our non-U.S. subsidiaries outside of the United States.

With regard to our non-U.S. subsidiaries, it is our practice and intention to reinvest the earnings in those businessesStates to fund capital expenditures and other operating cash needs. Because the undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested, no U.S. deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes have been provided on earnings subsequent to the enactment of the U.S. Tax Act.Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). Future repatriations of cash and cash equivalents, if any, held by our foreign subsidiaries will generally not be subject to U.S. Federal tax if earned prior to the enactment of the Tax Act. As we evaluate the impact of the Tax Act and the future cash needs of our global operations, we may revise the amount of foreign earnings generated prior to the enactment of the Tax Act considered to be permanently reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from U.S. operations, along with amounts available under our financing agreements, will be sufficient to fund U.S. operations, working capital needs, capital expenditure requirements and financing obligations.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department continue to release proposed guidance with respect to the Tax Act. We continue to evaluate what impact, if any, each piece of guidance may have on our related tax positions and our effective tax rate if, and when, such guidance is finalized.

Contractual Obligations and Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

There have not been any significant changes since September 30, 20192020 impacting our contractual obligations and contingent liabilities and commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies require management to make significant estimates and assumptions using information available at the time the estimates are made. Such estimates and assumptions significantly affect various reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. If future experience differs significantly from these estimates and assumptions, our results of operations and financial condition could be affected. A detailed description of our accounting policies is included in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and the Critical Accounting Policies Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our 20192020 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to such policies since September 30, 2019.2020.

For a further summary of certain accounting policies and estimates and recently issued accounting pronouncements applicable to us, see Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The Impacts of COVID-19 on Hillrom

During December 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 was reported in Wuhan, China. Since that time, the virus spread globally and has resulted in confirmed cases in regions and countries in which we conduct our business. Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” The United States and countries around the world are taking precautionary and preventive measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. COVID-19 has impacted global economies as travel, leisure and discretionary consumer spending has reduced significantly causing companies to make commensurate changes to their investments, human capital, and financial outlooks.

Revenues and Customers

As a result of preventive and cautionary measures taken by Hillrom, other businesses and governments, we may experience changes in demand for certain of our products as health care customers prioritize the treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, we experienced an increase in demand for select products including intensive care unit and med-surg beds and specialty surfaces within Patient Support Systems, and respiratory health ventilators, thermometry and patient monitoring products within Front Line Care. We also experienced declines in revenue related to project delays in our care communications business. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, management estimated a net revenue impact of approximately $15 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the net increase in total revenues is predominately due to the impact of COVID-19 on product demand.

For the remainder of fiscal 2020, we expect the demand for our product portfolio used to treat COVID-19 patients to decline overall, specifically for med-surg beds and respiratory health ventilators, while the demand for the remaining products may experience a modest recovery as hospitals and physician offices resume normal activities. These products include information technologies and software solutions in Patient Support Systems, operating room infrastructure in Surgical Solutions, and patient diagnostic tools in Front Line Care. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar public health event remains highly uncertain and subject to change. In this regard, the extent of potential impacts on our business, healthcare systems and other customers and the U.S. and global economies as a whole continues to evolve, and the development of customer demand described above and other factors could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Management intends to continue focusing on the Company's strategic growth objectives, while also working to meet the demands resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operations and Workforce

We continue to actively manage our supply chain to ensure we secure raw materials and components for manufacturing products in high demand due to COVID-19. We have not experienced significant supply chain constraints nor significant increases in supply costs as a result of the pandemic and we continue to adjust resource allocation as needed to meet customer demand.

We continue to operate our production facilities as our products are essential to healthcare providers. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, incremental non-recurring special compensation costs of $3.7 million were paid to essential workers that continued to work in our production facilities and provide services to our customers. Some of our products are specifically being used to treat patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Many employees in our administrative functions have effectively worked remotely since mid-March. Due to the importance of Hillrom’s products relative to treating the virus, we have maintained employment levels and have prudently augmented staffing as needed to meet near-term incremental demand as a result of the pandemic.

As disclosed in Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we have benefited from government programs within the various jurisdictions in which we operate in the form of subsidies, incentives, cost relief and payment deferrals. Management will continue to evaluate these opportunities as well as the related requirements or restrictions to support our operations and workforce in a manner that allow us to continue to operate efficiently and effectively.

While Hillrom has not experienced significant adverse financial impacts to date, given the evolving nature of the pandemic, COVID-19 could negatively affect our sales, and it is uncertain how COVID-19 will affect our global operations generally should these impacts persist or exacerbate over an extended period of time. Any of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. For further discussion, see the risk factor within PART II – OTHER INFORMATION, Item 1.A Risk Factors, entitled “Our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the related effects on public health.” in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.

Item 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates, collection risk associated with our accounts and notes receivable portfolio and variability in currency exchange rates. We have established policies, procedures, and internal processes governing our management of market risks and the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

We are subject to variability in foreign currency exchange rates in our international operations. Exposure to this variability is periodically managed primarily through the use of natural hedges, whereby funding obligations and assets are both managed in the local currency. From time-to-time, we enter into currency exchange contracts to manage exposures arising from fluctuating exchange rates related to specific and forecasted transactions. We operate this program pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. The sensitivity of earnings and cash flows to variability in exchange rates is assessed by applying an appropriate range of potential rate fluctuations to our assets, obligations and projected results of operations denominated in foreign currencies. The maximum length of time over which we hedge transaction exposures is generally 1512 months. Derivative gains and losses, initially reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), are reclassified to earnings in the period when the transaction affects earnings.

Refer to Note 6.5. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity for discussions and quantitative disclosures about our derivative agreements.

For additional information on market risks related to our pension plan assets, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 20192020 Form 10-K.

Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the supervision and participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30,December 31, 2020. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers and our Board of Directors, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30,December 31, 2020.

There have been no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred in our most recent completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
