ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with both our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our annual consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and the MD&A contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements and should be read in conjunction with the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” in this discussion. When used in this report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Haemonetics” and the “Company” mean Haemonetics Corporation.

Introduction

Haemonetics is a global medical technology company dedicated to improving the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of health care. Our innovative solutions addressing critical medical needs include a suite of hospital technologies designed to advance standards of care and help enhance outcomes for patients; end-to-end plasma collection technologies to optimize operations for plasma centers; and products to enable blood centers to collect in-demand blood components.

We view our operations and manage our business in three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. For that purpose, “Plasma” includes plasma collection devices and disposables, donor management software and supporting software solutions sold to plasma customers. “Blood Center” includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for plasma, red cells, and platelets. “Hospital” is comprised of Interventional Technologies, which includes Vascular Closure, Sensor-Guided Technologies and Esophageal Protection product lines, and Blood Management Technologies, which includes Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage and Transfusion Management product lines.

We believe that Plasma and Hospital have the greatest growth potential and are well positioned to drive long-term value. Blood Center operates in more challenging markets, and we have sharpened our focus accordingly on targeted opportunities – particularly in plasma and platelets – while ensuring continued alignment of this business with our broader strategic objectives.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Vivasure Medical Limited

On January 9, 2026, subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we acquired Vivasure Medical Limited (“Vivasure”) for gross upfront consideration of $116.4 million, with $60.7 million paid in cash at closing after giving effect to the value of certain prior investments and loans made by us to Vivasure, as well as other customary closing adjustments. The definitive agreement between the parties also provides for up to $98.9 million of additional contingent consideration based on sales growth and the achievement of certain other milestones, also subject to adjustment based on the value of certain prior investments and loans. We financed this transaction through available cash on hand.

Vivasure is a Galway, Ireland-based company pioneering next-generation technology for percutaneous vessel closure. Vivasure’s PerQseal Elite system uses a proprietary bioabsorbable patch to seal large-bore (up to 26 F) arteriotomies and venotomies from inside the vessel, offering a sutureless, fully absorbable solution for structural heart and endovascular procedures. In 2025, Vivasure submitted a Premarket Approval application to the U.S. FDA for the PerQseal Elite arterial closure system and received CE Mark approval in Europe for both arterial and venous indications. The addition of Vivasure expands our Hospital business unit portfolio in the interventional cardiology market and will be included in the Hospital reportable segment.

Share Repurchases

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we repurchased 360,457 shares of our common stock for $25.0 million under a previously executed Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the 2025 share repurchase program is $400.0 million.

Net revenues decreased 2.7% and 4.1% during the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. During the three months ended December 27, 2025, a revenue decrease in Blood Center, primarily driven by the divestiture of the Whole Blood product line in fiscal 2025, was partially offset by an increase in Plasma, primarily attributable to growth in U.S. plasma collections and prior innovation benefits. During the nine months ended December 27, 2025, revenue decreases in Plasma and Blood Center, primarily driven by the previously announced customer transition of CSL Plasma and the divestiture of the Whole Blood product line in fiscal 2025, were partially offset by an increase in Hospital, primarily attributable to the Hemostasis Management product line within the Blood Management Technologies franchise.

Operating income increased 14.2% and 19.5% during the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025, respectively, as compared with the same periods of fiscal 2025. The increase during the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025 was primarily due to pricing benefits across all business units, as well as decreased restructuring costs related to portfolio rationalization initiatives and decreased amortization of fair value inventory step-up related to the acquisition of Advanced Cooling Therapy, Inc., d/b/a Attune Medical (“Attune Medical”), partially offset by lower gains on sales of property, plant and equipment.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency conversion rate. We have provided this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented.

(1)    Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency. See “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures.”

Our principal operations are in the United States, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia. We market and sell our products in approximately 96 countries through a combination of our direct sales force and independent distributors. During the three and nine months ended December 27, 2025, our revenue generated outside the U.S. was 26.9% and 26.1%, respectively, of total net revenues, as compared with 26.1% and 26.0% during the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024, respectively. International sales are generally conducted in local currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Euro and Chinese Yuan. Our results of operations are impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates, particularly in the value of the Yen, Euro and Yuan, relative to the U.S. Dollar. We have placed foreign currency hedges on certain foreign currencies to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.

Please see the section entitled “Foreign Exchange” in this discussion for a more complete explanation of how foreign currency affects our business and our strategy for managing this exposure.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Business

Haemonetics is a global medical technology company dedicated to improving the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of health care. Our innovative solutions addressing critical medical needs include a suite of hospital technologies designed to advance standards of care and help enhance outcomes for patients; end-to-end plasma collection technologies to optimize operations for plasma centers; and products to enable blood centers to collect in-demand blood components.

We view our operations and manage our business in three principal reporting segments: Plasma, Blood Center and Hospital. For that purpose, “Plasma” includes plasma collection devices and disposables, donor management software and supporting software solutions sold to plasma customers. “Blood Center” includes blood collection and processing devices and disposables for plasma, red cells and platelets. “Hospital” is comprised of Interventional Technologies, which includes Vascular Closure, Sensor-Guided Technologies and Esophageal Protection product lines, and Blood Management Technologies, which includes Hemostasis Management, Cell Salvage and Transfusion Management product lines. Financial information concerning these segments is provided in Note 18, Segment and Enterprise-Wide Information, within the consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We believe that Plasma and Hospital have the greatest growth potential and are well positioned to drive long-term value. Blood Center operates in more challenging markets, and we have sharpened our focus accordingly on targeted opportunities – particularly in plasma and platelets – while ensuring continued alignment of this business with our broader strategic objectives.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions

Vivasure Medical Limited

On January 9, 2026, we acquired all of the outstanding equity interests of Vivasure for a net purchase price of $164.4 million. The net purchase price included $60.2 million paid in cash at closing, net of $0.4 million cash acquired and after giving effect to the value of certain prior investments and loans we made to Vivasure, as well as other customary closing adjustments, and the fair value of contingent consideration of $20.7 million. The contingent consideration is based on sales growth over the three years following the completion of the acquisition and the achievement of certain other milestones, and is also subject to adjustments based on the value of certain prior investments and loans. The Company financed this transaction through available cash on hand.

Vivasure is a Galway, Ireland-based company pioneering next-generation technology for percutaneous vessel closure. Vivasure’s PerQseal Elite system uses a proprietary bioabsorbable patch to seal large-bore (up to 26 F) arteriotomies and venotomies from inside the vessel, offering a sutureless, fully absorbable solution for structural heart and endovascular procedures. In 2025, Vivasure submitted a premarket approval, or PMA, application to the FDA for the PerQseal Elite arterial closure system and received CE Mark in Europe for both arterial and venous indications. The addition of Vivasure expands our Hospital business unit portfolio in the interventional cardiology market and will be included in the Hospital reportable segment.

Share Repurchase Programs

In accordance with our previously announced three-year share repurchase program, During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we repurchased $25.0 million of our common stock pursuant to a previously executed Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The total number of shares repurchased pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan was 360,457 at an average price per share upon final settlement of $69.36. Additionally, in March 2026, we completed a $75.0 million repurchase of our common stock pursuant to an ASR entered into with Goldman Sachs in February 2026. The total number of shares repurchased under the ASR was 1,218,798 at an average price per share upon final settlement of $61.54. As of March 28, 2026, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program was $325.0 million.

Convertible Debt Repayment and Revolving Credit Facility Drawdown

On March 2, 2026, we repaid in full at maturity our outstanding 2026 Notes for an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash, representing the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Notes. The repayment was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. No holders exercised conversion rights with respect to the 2026 Notes prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes expired in accordance with their terms upon the maturity of the 2026 Notes.

Market Trends

Plasma Market

There are two key aspects to the market for our plasma products - the growth in demand for plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals and the limited number of significant biopharmaceutical companies in this market.

Changes in demand for plasma-derived therapies, particularly immunoglobulin, are the key driver of plasma collection volumes in the plasma biopharmaceutical market. Various factors related to the supply of plasma and the production of plasma-derived therapies also affect collection volume, including the following:

•Biopharmaceutical companies continue to increase yield from plasma collections in order to meet growing demand for plasma-derived therapies without requiring an equivalent increase in plasma donations;

•Newly approved indications for diseases treated with plasma-derived therapies, the growing understanding and diagnosis of diseases treatable with plasma derived therapies, longer lifespans and a growing aging patient population increase the demand for plasma; and

•Expansion in the availability of plasma-derived therapies across new geographic markets also increases demand for plasma.

Despite the overall growth in the market, there are few biopharmaceutical companies that collect and fractionate source plasma. Significant barriers to entry exist for new entrants due to high capital outlay requirements for fractionation, long regulatory pathways to the licensing of collection centers and fractionation facilities and approval of plasma-derived biopharmaceuticals. As a result, there are relatively few customers for our Plasma products, especially in the U.S. where over two-thirds of the world’s source plasma is collected and only a few customers provide the majority of our Plasma revenue. However, certain jurisdictions, such as Egypt, Canada, Belgium and the United Kingdom have begun or expanded dedicated programs to collect plasma for fractionation for their local needs, which has expanded the Plasma market.

Blood Center Market

In the Blood Center market, we sell automated blood component collection systems. While we sell products around the world, a significant portion of our sales are to a limited number of customers due to the relatively limited number of blood collectors.

Within the Blood Center market, we have seen two trends that have negatively impacted growth of the overall marketplace despite the overall increase in aging populations:

•Declining transfusion rates in mature markets due to the development of more minimally invasive procedures with lower associated blood loss as well as better blood management; and

•Competition in multi-unit collection technology for automated blood component collection systems has intensified and has negatively impacted our sales in markets where these collections are prevalent.

As Blood Center operates in more challenging markets, we have sharpened our focus accordingly on targeted opportunities – particularly in plasma and platelets – while ensuring continued alignment of this business with the Company’s broader strategic objectives.

Hospital Markets

Interventional Technologies:

Vascular Closure Market - The target markets for our vascular closure products used in coronary, structural heart, peripheral and electrophysiology procedures, are highly concentrated in the U.S. The mature market of coronary and peripheral procedures consists of interventions to diagnose and treat vascular diseases. Our products also address many of the vascular closure needs for the structural heart (“contralateral access sites”) and electrophysiology procedures. In August 2024, we successfully launched the VASCADE MVP XL, which allowed us to capitalize more broadly in procedures as part of electrophysiology, coronary and peripheral markets. In January 2026, we successfully completed the acquisition of Vivasure, which included the PerQseal Elite large bore closure system, which is designed for percutaneous vessel closure following catheter-based procedures requiring large bore femoral access, including TAVR, EVAR and mechanical circulatory support procedures. PerQseal Elite has received CE Mark in Europe for arterial and venous indications, and we have submitted a PMA application to the FDA for an arterial indication in the United States. We believe PerQseal Elite complements and expands our Vascular Closure portfolio into the large bore market.

Sensor-Guided Technologies Market - The market for sensor-guided technologies reflects varying dynamics across different interventional cardiology procedures. In the TAVR market, characterized by high growth, the demand for innovative solutions like SavvyWire is driven by an aging population and increasing prevalence of aortic valve diseases globally. Conversely, in the more mature percutaneous coronary intervention (“PCI”) market, the steady demand for sensor-guided technologies such as OptoWire remains driven by persistent prevalence of coronary artery disease, emphasizing the need for advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Our strategic investment in sensor-guided technologies positions us to capitalize on these trends, leveraging innovation to address evolving needs in both high-growth and mature markets while expanding our global market presence through initiatives such as receiving CE Mark for our Savvywire.

Esophageal Protection Market - The market for esophageal protection devices, such as our ensoETM, is driven by radiofrequency, or RF, ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, which has a risk of thermal injury to the esophagus. One of the perceived benefits of pulse field ablation, or PFA, is that its mechanism of action is tissue selective, which is believed to spare the esophagus from serious injury and may, therefore, obviate the need for esophageal cooling devices. While there are cardiac ablation procedures currently performed using RF ablation, the immediate opportunity for esophageal cooling during an atrial fibrillation ablation has substantially diminished over the last two years due to the launch of PFA in the US and Japan. PFA has been available in Europe for several years already.

Blood Management Technologies:

Hemostasis Management Market - The use of routine coagulation testing is well established throughout the world in various medical procedures, including cardiovascular surgery, organ transplantation, trauma, post-partum hemorrhage and percutaneous coronary intervention. While standard tests like prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time and platelet count have limited ability to reveal a patient’s risk for bleeding, they do not provide information on the patient’s risk for thrombosis. In addition, these routine tests do not provide specific data about clot quality or stability. As a result of these limitations, clinicians are increasingly utilizing advanced hemostasis testing to provide more information about a patient’s hemostasis status, resulting in improved clinical decision-making. In addition, advanced hemostasis testing supports hospital efforts to reduce the risks, complications and costs associated with unnecessary blood component transfusions.

Haemonetics’ TEG hemostasis analyzer system is an advanced diagnostic tool that provides a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s overall hemostasis. This information enables clinicians to decide the most appropriate clinical treatment for the patient to minimize blood loss and reduce clotting risk. For example, TEG analyzers have been used to support clinical decision making in open cardiovascular surgery and organ transplantation, becoming the standard of care in liver transplants. In more recent years, interest has grown into the utilization of TEG in trauma and other procedures in which the risk of hemorrhage and thrombosis are high.

Geographically, TEG systems have achieved the highest market penetration in North America and Europe. However, there are considerable growth opportunities in these as well as other markets, as TEG systems become more established as the standard of care around the world.

38

Table of Contents

Cell Salvage Market - In recent years, more efficient blood use and less invasive surgeries have reduced demand for autotransfusion in these procedures and contributed to intense competition in mature markets, while increased access to healthcare in emerging economies has provided new markets and sources of growth. Orthopedic procedures have seen similar changes with improved blood management practices, including the use of tranexamic acid to treat and prevent postoperative bleeding, significantly reducing the number of transfusions and autotransfusion. Geographically, the Cell Saver has achieved the highest market penetration in North America, Europe and Japan. We believe there are growth opportunities in Asia Pacific as the use of autotransfusion is becoming accepted as a standard of care.

Transfusion Management Market - Revenues from BloodTrack have increased in the U.S. and Europe in recent years as hospitals seek means to improve efficiencies and meet compliance guidelines for tracking and dispositioning blood components to patients. SafeTrace Tx’s leading market share continues in the U.S. and SafeTraceTX has expanded into the United Kingdom as hospitals seek solutions to address operational efficiency, cybersecurity and interoperability with enterprise systems.

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of March. Each fiscal year presented includes 52 weeks with each quarter having 13 weeks.

Net revenues decreased 2.0% during fiscal 2026 as compared with fiscal 2025. The decrease was driven by prior year portfolio transitions in Plasma and Blood Center—including the previously announced customer transition of CSL Plasma and the divestiture of the Whole Blood product line—that together represented approximately $153 million of nonrecurring fiscal 2025 revenue, partially offset by an increase in Hospital, primarily attributable to the Hemostasis Management and Transfusion Management product lines within the Blood Management Technologies franchise.

Operating income decreased 29.3% during fiscal 2026 as compared with fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the impairment of intangible assets related to Attune Medical, partially offset by pricing benefits across all business units, decreased restructuring costs related to portfolio rationalization initiatives and decreased amortization of fair value inventory step-up related to the acquisition of Attune Medical.

Information pertaining to fiscal year 2024 results of operations, including a year-to-year comparison against fiscal year 2025, was included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 29, 2025 under Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations,” which was filed with the SEC on May 21, 2025. This information is incorporated by reference herein.

Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to financial measures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management uses non-GAAP financial measures to monitor the financial performance of the business, make informed business decisions, establish budgets and forecast future results. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, our reported financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue between the current and prior year periods using a constant currency conversion rate. We have provided this non-GAAP financial measure because we believe it provides meaningful information regarding our results on a consistent and comparable basis for the periods presented.

Plasma

Plasma revenue decreased by 2.0% on an as reported basis and decreased by 2.7% without the effect of foreign exchange during fiscal 2026 as compared with fiscal 2025. This revenue decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volumes in North America relating to the previously announced customer transition of CSL Plasma, partially offset by share gains, higher volume and pricing benefits.

Blood Center

Blood Center revenue decreased 15.3% on an as reported basis and decreased 16.5% without the effect of foreign exchange during fiscal 2026 as compared with fiscal 2025. The decrease in Blood Center’s reported revenue was primarily driven by the divestiture of our Whole Blood product line in January 2025, partially offset by favorable product mix and higher volume.

Hospital

Hospital revenue increased 4.3% on an as reported basis and increased 3.5% without the effect of foreign exchange during fiscal 2026 as compared with fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales volume and market expansion in the Hemostasis and Transfusion Management product lines within the Blood Management Technologies franchise, which was partially offset by lower sales volume in the Interventional Technologies franchise.

We conduct business globally and report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. Our reported tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings in any given period as the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate have tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate. Our effective tax rate is adversely impacted by non-deductible expenses including executive compensation and transaction costs, and is favorably impacted by changes in contingent consideration revaluation, the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to certain uncertain tax position reserves, jurisdictional mix of earnings, impact of foreign tax law changes and research credits generated.

For the year ended March 28, 2026, we recorded income tax expense of $30.7 million on our worldwide pre-tax income of $128.0 million, resulting in a reported tax rate of 24.0%. Our reported tax rate for the year ended March 28, 2026 is higher than our reported tax rate of 20.9% for fiscal 2025, primarily due to tax benefits attributable to the expiration of the statute of limitations associated with uncertain tax positions reserves and contingent consideration benefits recorded in FY25, partially offset by the impact of the jurisdictional mix of earnings.

(1)    Availability under our revolving credit facilities is reduced by eligible outstanding letters of credit allowable of $1.3 million as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.

(2)    Net debt position is the sum of cash and cash equivalents less total debt.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, internally generated cash flow from operations and our senior unsecured revolving credit facility. We believe these sources are sufficient to fund our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months and to meet our known long-term cash requirements, including our 2029 Notes. Our expected cash outlays relate primarily to acquisitions, investments, capital expenditures, share repurchases, our ongoing market and regional alignment initiative, and payments of principal and interest under our credit facilities.

As of March 28, 2026, we had $245.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, the majority of which is held in the U.S. or in countries from which it can be repatriated to the U.S.

Convertible Senior Notes

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we used a portion of our proceeds from the 2029 Notes to repurchase, for $185.5 million, $200.0 million of the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes, resulting in a gain of $14.5 million related to the discount on repurchase. As the repurchase of the 2026 Notes met the criteria for extinguishment accounting, $1.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were allocated to the repurchase, resulting in a net gain of $12.6 million.

On March 2, 2026, we repaid in full at maturity our 2026 Notes for an aggregate amount of $300.0 million in cash, representing the outstanding principal amount of the 2026 Notes. The repayment was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. No holders exercised conversion rights with respect to the 2026 Notes prior to maturity. The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of the 2026 Notes expired in accordance with their terms upon the maturity of the 2026 Notes.

As of March 28, 2026, the $700.0 million principal balance of the 2029 Notes was netted down by $11.2 million of remaining debt issuance costs, resulting in a net convertible note payable of $688.8 million. The 2029 Notes will mature on June 1, 2029, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of March 28, 2026, the 2029 Notes were not convertible. Interest expense related to the 2029 Notes was $20.8 million for fiscal 2026, which includes nominal interest expense and the amortization of the debt issuance costs. For further discussion on the 2029 Notes, refer to Note 12, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information.

Credit Facilities

On July 16, 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement to refinance its credit facilities initially entered into in 2018 and extended their maturity dates through June 2025 (the “2022 Revised Credit Facilities”). On April 30, 2024, we entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement with certain lenders to refinance the 2022 Revised Credit Facilities and extend their maturity date through April 2029. The second amended and restated credit agreement provides for a $250.0 million senior unsecured term loan, the proceeds of which, along with $12.5 million of cash on hand, were used to retire the balance of the term loan under the 2022 Revised Credit Facilities, and a $750.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (together, the “2024 Revised Credit Facilities”). Loans under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as specified in the second amended and restated credit agreement), which is subject to a floor of 0.0%, plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.125% to 1.750% based on the our consolidated net leverage ratio (as specified in the second amended and restated credit agreement) at the applicable measurement date. The revolving credit facility carries an unused fee that ranges from 0.125% to 0.250% annually based on our consolidated net leverage ratio at the applicable measurement date. The 2024 Revised Credit Facilities mature on April 30, 2029. The principal amount of the term loan under the 2024 Revised Credit Facilities amortizes quarterly through the maturity date at a rate of 2.5% for the first three years following the closing date, 5.0% for the fourth year following the closing date and 7.5% for the fifth year following the closing date, with the unpaid balance due at maturity.

As of March 28, 2026, $239.1 million was outstanding under the term loan with an effective interest rate of 5.6%, which was netted down by the $3.9 million of remaining debt discount, resulting in a net note payable of $235.1 million. In connection with the settlement of the 2026 Notes, we borrowed $300.0 million under the revolving credit facility, which was outstanding as of March 28, 2026. We also had $17.7 million of uncommitted operating lines of credit to fund our global operations under which there were no outstanding borrowings as of March 28, 2026.

We have scheduled principal payments of $7.8 million required during fiscal 2027 related to our term loan. See Note 12, Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information.

2025 Share Repurchase Program

In April 2025, our Board approved a new three-year share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $500 million of our common stock, based on market conditions, through April 2028. In September 2025, we completed a $75.0 million repurchase of our common stock pursuant to an ASR entered into with Citibank N.A. in August 2025. The total number of shares repurchased under this ASR was 1,430,579 for an average price per share upon final settlement of $52.43. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we repurchased $25.0 million of our common stock pursuant to a previously executed Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The total number of shares repurchased pursuant to the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan was 360,457 at an average price per share upon final settlement of $69.36. Additionally, in March 2026 we completed a $75.0 million repurchase of our common stock pursuant to an ASR entered into with Goldman Sachs in February 2026. The total number of shares repurchased under this ASR was 1,218,798 for an average price per share upon final settlement of $61.54. As of March 28, 2026, the total remaining authorization for repurchases of our common stock under the share repurchase program was $325.0 million.

Market and Regional Alignment Initiative

In May 2025, our Board approved our currently ongoing market and regional alignment initiative and delegated authority to management to determine the details of the specific actions that will comprise the initiative. This strategic initiative is designed to improve operational performance and reduce costs by directing our resources toward the markets and geographies that offer the greatest growth and portfolio advancement opportunities. During fiscal 2026, we incurred restructuring and restructuring related costs of $5.1 million under this initiative. Total cumulative charges under this initiative are $5.6 million as of March 28, 2026. The amounts and timing of estimated costs and savings are subject to change until finalized. The actual amounts and timing may vary materially based on various factors.

(1)    Interest payments reflect the contractual interest payments on outstanding debt related to the term loan under our 2024 Revised Credit Facilities and exclude the impact of interest rate swap agreements. Interest payments are projected using interest rates in effect as of March 28, 2026. Certain of these projected interest payments may differ in the future based on changes in market interest rates.

(2)    Includes amounts we are committed to spend on purchase orders entered in the normal course of business which includes capital equipment and commitments with contractors for the manufacture of certain disposable products and equipment. The majority of our operating expense spending does not require any advance commitment.

The above table does not reflect our long-term liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits of $0.8 million recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. We cannot reasonably make a reliable estimate of the period in which we expect to settle these long-term liabilities due to factors outside of our control, such as tax examinations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

While approximately 44% of our revenue during fiscal 2026 was generated by our ten largest customers, concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to our large number of customers and their diversity across many geographic areas. Certain markets and industries, however, can expose us to concentrations of credit risk. For example, in the Plasma business unit, sales are concentrated with several large customers. As a result, accounts receivable extended to any one of these customers can be significant at any point in time. Additionally, a portion of our trade accounts receivable outside the U.S. include sales to government-owned or supported healthcare systems which are subject to payment delays and local economic conditions. Payment is dependent upon the financial stability and creditworthiness of those countries’ national economies.

We have not incurred significant losses on trade accounts or other receivables. We continually evaluate all receivables for potential collection risks associated with the availability of government funding and reimbursement practices. If the financial condition of customers or the countries’ healthcare systems deteriorate such that their ability to make payments is uncertain, allowances may be required in future periods.

Legal Proceedings

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for legal matters when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount may be reasonably estimated. Actual settlements may be different than estimated and could have a material impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position and/or cash flows. For a discussion of our material legal proceedings refer to Note 15, Commitments & Contingencies, within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

The global macroeconomic environment has continued to present challenging conditions and uncertainty, including inflation, tariffs, interest rates, monetary policy, exchange rates and geopolitical developments, which could adversely impact the costs associated with our manufacturing operations. We continue to monitor inflationary pressures generally and raw materials indices that may affect our procurement, production and distribution costs. Historically, we have been able to limit the impact of the effects of inflation by improving our manufacturing and purchasing efficiencies, by increasing employee productivity and by adjusting the selling prices of products, but we may not be able to fully mitigate these increases in our operational costs in the future.

Foreign Exchange

Although our reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar, 26.4% and 25.7% of our sales in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025, respectively, were generated outside the U.S., generally in foreign currencies. We also incur certain manufacturing, marketing and selling costs in international markets in local currency. Our primary foreign currency exposures relate to sales denominated in Japanese Yen, Euro and Chinese Yuan. We also have foreign currency exposure related to manufacturing and other operational costs denominated in Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit. The Yen, Euro and Yuan sales exposure is partially mitigated by costs and expenses for foreign operations and sourcing products denominated in foreign currencies.

Since our foreign currency denominated Yen, Euro and Yuan sales exceed the foreign currency denominated costs, whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the Yen, Euro or Yuan, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations and, conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to the Yen, Euro or Yuan, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. For Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars, Mexican Pesos and Malaysian Ringgit, our primary cash flows relate to product costs or costs and expenses of local operations. Whenever the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to these foreign currencies, there is a positive effect on our results of operations. Conversely, whenever the U.S. Dollar weakens relative to these currencies, there is an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We have a program in place that is designed to mitigate our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. That program includes the use of derivative financial instruments to minimize, for a period of time, the unforeseen impact on our financial results from changes in foreign exchange rates. We utilize forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the anticipated cash flows from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso and Euro, and to a lesser extent Canadian Dollar, Swiss Franc and Chinese Yuan. This does not eliminate the volatility of foreign exchange rates, but because we generally enter into forward contracts into the future, rates are fixed at the time of execution; thereby facilitating financial planning and resource allocation. Hedges are executed on a rolling basis over an 18-month horizon, informed by forecasted net income exposures. Both forecasted exposures and active hedges are reviewed periodically throughout the year to ensure effective and efficient mitigation of foreign currency exchange rate risk. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges. The final impact of currency fluctuations on the results of operations is dependent on the local currency amounts hedged and the actual local currency results. We do not use forward foreign currency contracts for speculative or trading activities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within the accompanying consolidated financial statements. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. We consider an estimate to be a “critical accounting estimate” when (i) the nature of the estimate is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and (ii) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The accounting policies and estimates identified as critical are as follows:

Table of Contents

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration related to rebates, product returns and volume discounts. These reserves, which are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales, are recorded as a reduction of revenue and a current liability. Our estimates take into consideration historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration included in the net sales price is limited to the amount that is probable not to result in a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized in a future period. Revenue recognized in the current period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material. If we are unable to estimate the expected rebates reasonably, we record a liability for the maximum potential rebate or discount that could be earned. In circumstances where we provide upfront rebate payments to customers, we capitalize the rebate payments and amortize the resulting asset as a reduction of revenue using a systematic method over the life of the contract. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4, Revenue, within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Although we use consistent methodologies in developing the assumptions and estimates underlying the fair value calculations used in our impairment tests, these estimates are uncertain by nature and can vary from actual results. The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated revenue projections, growth rates, cash flows and discount rates could result in different fair value estimates.

Future events that could have a negative impact on the levels of excess fair value over carrying value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Decreases in estimated market sizes or market growth rates due to greater-than-expected declines in procedural volumes, pricing pressures, product actions and/or competitive technology developments;

•Declines in our market share and penetration assumptions due to increased competition, an inability to develop or launch new and next-generation products and technology features in line with our commercialization strategies and market and/or regulatory conditions that may cause significant launch delays or product recalls;

•Decreases in our forecasted profitability due to an inability to implement successfully and achieve timely and sustainable cost improvement measures consistent with our expectations;

•Changes in our reporting units or in the structure of our business as a result of future reorganizations, acquisitions or divestitures of assets or businesses; and

•Increases in our market-participant risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital and increases in our market-participant tax rate and/or changes in tax laws or macroeconomic conditions.

Negative changes in one or more of these factors, among others, could result in future goodwill impairment charges.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter in fiscal 2026, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential goodwill impairment. The test is performed at the reporting unit level by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill.

The estimation of fair value requires significant judgment and is based primarily on a discounted cash flow approach, supplemented by market-based methods where appropriate. Key assumptions include projected revenue growth rates, operating margins, and the discount rate. These inputs are based on management’s expectations of future performance and market conditions and are inherently uncertain.

As of the first day of the fourth quarter in fiscal 2026, the estimated fair values of all reporting units exceeded their carrying values. However, the fair value of the Interventional Technologies reporting unit, which is within the Hospital reportable segment, was $867.8 million, which only exceeded its carrying value of $821.6 million by 6%. The fair value of the Interventional Technologies reporting unit was primarily determined using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a discount rate of 10.5%, which reflects a market-participant weighted average cost of capital based on the risk profile, size and capital structure of the reporting unit.

49

Table of Contents

The Interventional Technologies reporting unit remains sensitive to changes in key assumptions. A decline in projected revenue growth rates, or an increase in the discount rate, could result in the carrying value exceeding fair value. For example, a 50-basis point increase in the discount rate or a reduction in projected revenue growth rates of 1% could eliminate headroom for this reporting unit.

We monitor for goodwill impairment indicators throughout the year, including changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and business performance. No interim goodwill impairment indicators were identified during fiscal 2026 that required an interim impairment test for goodwill.

Although no goodwill impairment was recorded during fiscal 2026, the Interventional Technologies reporting unit remains at risk of future goodwill impairment if actual results differ from current estimates or if market conditions deteriorate.

We also evaluate long-lived intangible assets subject to amortization for intangible impairment quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist that would indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable, or that a change in the remaining useful life is required. Conditions indicating that an intangible impairment exists include but are not limited to a change in the competitive landscape, internal decisions to pursue new or different technology strategies, a loss of a significant customer or a significant change in the marketplace including prices paid for our products or the size of the market for our products. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If the carrying value exceeds those undiscounted cash flows, an intangible impairment loss is measured as the excess of carrying value over fair value.

The determination of recoverability and fair value requires significant judgment. Estimated cash flows are based on management’s assumptions regarding future revenues, operating margins, customer attrition, and economic conditions. When required, fair value is typically determined using a discounted cash flow approach. Key assumptions include projected growth rates, profitability, and discount rates, all of which are inherently uncertain and may differ from actual results.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we identified intangible impairment indicators related to the Attune Medical asset group within the Interventional Technologies reporting unit, including lower revenue projections, changes in market conditions and declines in operating performance. As a result, we performed a recoverability test as of the first day of the fourth quarter in fiscal 2026 for the Attune Medical asset group and determined that the carrying value of the asset group exceeded the estimated undiscounted cash flows, indicating that the asset group was not recoverable. As a result, we performed an additional fair value measurement for the Attune Medical asset group.

The fair value of the Attune Medical asset group was measured using an income approach based on a discounted cash flow methodology and is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. As of the first day of the fourth quarter in fiscal 2026, the estimated fair value of the asset group was approximately $12.3 million, compared to a carrying value of $89.5 million, resulting in the recognition of an intangible impairment charge of $77.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement included projected revenues, operating margins, and a discount rate reflecting the estimated weighted average cost of capital of a market participant. The revenue and margin assumptions were based on management’s internal forecasts, which incorporate assumptions about future market conditions, product adoption rates, pricing, and competitive dynamics. The discount rate utilized in the valuation of the Attune Medical asset group was 19.8%, which reflects the higher risk profile, earlier stage of commercialization, and greater uncertainty in projected cash flows relative to the broader Interventional Technologies reporting unit. The discount rate was developed using market-based inputs, including a risk-free rate, equity risk premium, and company-specific risk adjustments.

Changes in these significant unobservable inputs could result in a materially higher or lower fair value measurement. For example, increases in the discount rate or decreases in projected revenues or operating margins would result in a lower estimated fair value, while decreases in the discount rate or improvements in projected operating performance would result in a higher estimated fair value.

We continue to monitor the Attune Medical asset group for intangible impairment indicators, including macroeconomic conditions, industry trends, and changes in business performance. While the intangible impairment charge recognized reflects management’s best estimate of fair value as of the testing date, it is reasonably possible that changes in assumptions or future business conditions could result in additional intangible impairment charges in future periods. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 10, Goodwill & Intangible Assets, within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Inventory Provisions

We base our provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory primarily on our estimates of forecasted net sales. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for our products as compared with forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory in the future. Additionally, uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to excess, expired and obsolete inventory.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision is calculated for all jurisdictions in which we operate. The income tax provision process involves calculating current taxes due and assessing temporary differences arising from items that are taxable or deductible in different periods for tax and accounting purposes and are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are evaluated for realizability and a valuation allowance is maintained for the portion of our deferred tax assets that are not more-likely-than-not realizable. All available evidence, both positive and negative, has been considered to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed against the deferred tax assets. Refer to Note 6, Income Taxes, within the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information and discussion of our income tax provision and balances.

We file income tax returns in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We record a liability for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Our consolidated financial statements reflect expected future tax consequences of such positions presuming the taxing authorities’ full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. We record a liability for the portion of unrecognized tax benefits claimed that we have determined are not more-likely-than-not realizable. These tax reserves have been established based on management’s assessment as to the potential exposure attributable to our uncertain tax positions as well as interest and penalties attributable to these uncertain tax positions. All tax reserves are analyzed quarterly and adjustments are made as events occur that result in changes in judgment.

Contingencies

We are currently involved in or may become involved in various legal proceedings and claims, including, without limitation, patent infringement, product liability, breach of contract and employee-related matters. Accruals recorded for various contingencies including legal proceedings, employee related litigation, self-insurance and other claims are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of internal and/or external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. When a loss is probable and a range of loss is established but a best estimate cannot be made, we record the minimum loss contingency amount. These estimates are often initially developed substantially earlier than the ultimate loss is known and the estimates are reevaluated each accounting period, as additional information is available. When we are initially unable to develop a best estimate of loss, we record the minimum amount of loss, which could be zero. As information becomes known, an additional loss provision is recorded when either a best estimate can be made or the minimum loss amount is increased. When events result in an expectation of a more favorable outcome than previously expected, our best estimate is changed to a lower amount. With respect to the specific legal proceedings and claims described in Note 15 Commitments & Contingencies, unless otherwise noted, the amount or range of possible losses is not reasonably estimable. There can be no assurance that the settlement, resolution, or other outcome of one or more matters, including the matters set forth in Note 15 Commitments & Contingencies, during any subsequent reporting period will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows for that period or on the our financial condition.

Business Combinations

We record tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions including forecasted cash flows, revenues attributable to existing technology and discount rates. When estimating the significant assumptions to be used in the valuation we included a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business and other relevant factors. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill.

Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value as measured on the date of acquisition using an appropriate valuation model, such as the Monte Carlo simulation model. The value recorded is based on estimates of future financial projections under various potential scenarios, in which the model runs many simulations based on comparable companies’ growth rates and their implied volatility. Our estimates of forecasted revenues in the earn out period include a consideration of current industry information, market and economic trends, historical results of the acquired business and other relevant factors. These cash flow projections are discounted with a risk adjusted rate. At each reporting period until such contingent amounts are earned, the fair value of the liability is remeasured and adjusted as a component of operating expenses based on changes to the underlying assumptions. The estimates used to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are subject to significant judgment and given the inherent uncertainties in making these estimates, actual results are likely to differ from the amounts originally recorded and could be materially different.

In cases where we acquire a company in which we previously held an equity stake, we attribute a portion of the purchase price to the previously-held equity interest, which is implied based on the total purchase consideration allocable to each of the shareholders, including Haemonetics, according to priority of equity interests. We record a gain or loss in Interest and other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income equal to the difference between the implied fair value of our prior ownership and the book value immediately prior to the acquisition.
