(OEM) partners. We were incorporated in California in May 1989 and
reincorporated in Delaware in May 1996.
Our core measurement technologies are Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™
pulse oximetry, known as Masimo Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®) pulse
oximetry, and advanced rainbow® Pulse CO-Oximetry parameters such as noninvasive
hemoglobin (SpHb®), alongside many other modalities, including brain function
monitoring, hemodynamic monitoring, regional oximetry, acoustic respiration rate
monitoring, capnography, nasal high-flow respiratory support therapy, patient
position and activity tracking and neuromodulation technology for the reduction
of symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal. Masimo's measurement technologies
are available on many types of devices, from bedside hospital monitors like the
Root® Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Hub, to various handheld and portable
devices, and to the tetherless Masimo SafetyNet™ remote patient surveillance
solution. The Masimo Hospital Automation™ Platform facilitates data integration,
connectivity, and interoperability through solutions like Patient SafetyNet™,
Replica® and UniView™ to facilitate more efficient clinical workflows and to
help clinicians provide the best possible care, both in-person and remotely.
Leveraging our expertise in hospital-grade technologies, we are also expanding
our suite of products intended for use outside the hospital and products for
consumers, including Sleep™, a sleep quality solution and the Radius Tº™
wireless, wearable continuous thermometer. For an overview of our product
offerings and technologies, please refer to "Business" in Part I, Item 1 of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2021, filed with
the SEC on February 23, 2021.
In January 2021, we announced the global launch of iSirona™, a compact,
versatile connectivity hub designed to maximize interoperability across the
continuum of care. The iSirona™ hub offers an efficient way to physically
connect up to six medical devices at the bedside and automatically route the
data to the Masimo Hospital Automation™ Platform. The iSirona™ hub helps ensure
that whatever the source, all patient data can be accurately and efficiently
captured and presented to clinicians in the most suitable ways.

In February 2021, we announced the full market release of Masimo
SafetyNet-OPEN™, a web and mobile app solution that helps businesses, schools
and other organizations screen, trace and manage users entering their facilities
with respect to COVID-19 and other infectious illnesses, such as seasonal flu.
SafetyNet-OPEN™ helps organizations bring their people back to the workplace
responsibly and stay open safely. Tailored for each organization's safety
protocols and needs, SafetyNet-OPEN™ is capable of covering all stages of
back-to-work management, including risk screening, exposure contact tracing and
recovery management.
Also in February 2021, we announced the U.S. introduction of softFlow®, which
provides nasal high-flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases to
spontaneously breathing patients. The technology offers adult patients high-flow
respiratory support through a soft nasal cannula by generating a consistent high
flow of warm, humidified air or air/oxygen mixture.
In March 2021, we announced the CE Marking of the Rad-G™ with temperature, a
rugged handheld device that provides clinically proven SET® pulse oximetry,
respiration rate from the pleth (RRp®) parameter and other important parameters
alongside clinical-grade, non-contact infrared thermometry. With its
long-lasting rechargeable battery, robust rubber casing, light weight and
integrated noninvasive, real-time forehead temperature measurement, Rad-G™ with
temperature makes it easier for clinicians to quickly assess patients and make
informed care decisions anywhere pulse oximetry or vital signs monitoring is
needed in a compact, portable form factor. Coupled with the universal Mini-Clip™
pulse oximeter sensor to provide the ultimate in handheld versatility, Rad-G™
with temperature can be used in a variety of settings, including but not limited
to, entry screening, physicians' offices, outpatient services, long-term care
facilities, wellness clinics, first-response scenarios and limited-resource
environments both indoors and in the field. Rad-G™ can provide both spot-check
measurement and continuous monitoring.
In April 2021, we announced that Radius PCG™, a portable real-time capnograph
with wireless Bluetooth® connectivity, received FDA 510(k) clearance. Radius
PCG™ connects with the Root® Patient Monitoring and Connectivity Platform to
provide seamless, tetherless mainstream capnography for patients of all ages.
Radius PCG™ offers Masimo SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse
oximetry, continuous temperature measurements with no routine calibration, along
with accurate end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) and respiration rate
measurements.
In June 2021, we announced that Radius T°™, a wearable, wireless thermometer
that measures body temperature continuously and noninvasively, received FDA
510(k) clearance for both prescription and over-the-counter use on patients and
consumers five years and older. Featuring continuously trending temperature
measurements and Bluetooth® connectivity, Radius T°™ automates remote,
continuous body temperature status for clinicians through its paired connection
to a Masimo patient monitoring or telehealth solution, and for consumers through
the Masimo Radius T°™ smartphone application.
In July 2021, we announced the release of the MX-7™ board, our latest and most
advanced rainbow SET® board. Designed for integration into the more than 200

COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in the U.S. and around
the globe, resulting in both challenges and opportunities for our business. We
are committed to being as transparent as possible with our investors, employees,
customers, suppliers and business partners as we collectively work to respond to
this crisis. In response to this situation, we implemented a number of
precautionary measures at our facilities, including: requiring certain personnel
to work remotely from home and enacting social distancing, requiring face masks
and mandatory screening for symptoms associated with COVID-19 for critical
personnel that are required to report to our facilities to work. We also
introduced new products, such as Masimo SafetyNet™ and Masimo SafetyNet-OPEN™ to
help combat the COVID-19 pandemic and made pledges to various charitable
organizations to support global COVID-19 relief efforts. We currently believe
that our existing liquidity position will be sufficient to fund these ongoing
initiatives and our response efforts.
Given the continuing uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot
predict how it will continue to affect our product demand or our product mix. In
addition, the increase in demand we have experienced due to the COVID-19
pandemic could result in potential reductions in future demand if our customers
have over purchased our products and need to consume their excess inventory
before purchasing additional products. Furthermore, we continue to be exposed to
potential disruptions to our manufacturing operations and disruptions in the
supply of critical manufacturing components and in our workforce as
circumstances surrounding the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to
change. In addition, given the recent presidential executive order mandating
federal contractors and subcontractors to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19
by November 22, 2021, we expect that our employees will be required to be
vaccinated per the federal mandate, and current employees and candidates seeking
employment with Masimo may be opposed to being vaccinated and may risk possible
termination or may seek employment with an employer that is not required to
follow the federal mandate. Please see "Risks Related to Our Revenues" and
"Risks Related to our Business and Operations" in Part II, Item 1A of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on potential negative
impacts to us resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cercacor
Cercacor Laboratories, Inc. (Cercacor) is an independent entity spun off from us
to our stockholders in 1998. Joe Kiani, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
(CEO), is also the Chairman and CEO of Cercacor. We are a party to a
cross-licensing agreement with Cercacor, which was amended and restated
effective January 1, 2007 (the Cross-Licensing Agreement), which governs each
party's rights to certain intellectual property held by the two companies. See
Note 3 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included
in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional
information related to Cercacor.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.3 million, or 11.4%,
for the three months ended October 2, 2021, compared to the three months ended
September 26, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher
compensation and other employee-related costs of approximately $11.0 million,
higher legal and professional fees of $4.2 million, higher occupancy and other
office-related costs of approximately $1.5 million and higher travel costs of
approximately $1.4 million, which were partially offset by lower advertising and
marketing-related costs of approximately $8.5 million.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of
salaries, stock-based compensation and related expenses for engineers and other
personnel engaged in the design and development of our products. These expenses
also include third-party fees paid to consultants, prototype and engineering
supply expenses and the costs of clinical trials. Research and development
expenses for the three months ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020 were

Non-operating (loss) income was less than $0.1 million for the three months
ended October 2, 2021, as compared to $1.4 million of non-operating income for
the three months ended September 26, 2020. This decrease of approximately $1.4
million was primarily due to lower interest yields realized on our invested
cash.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes for the three months
ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020 was as follows (dollars in
thousands):

For the three months ended October 2, 2021, we recorded a provision for income
taxes of approximately $9.8 million, or an effective tax provision rate of
14.5%, as compared to a provision for income taxes of approximately $11.7
million, or an effective tax provision rate of 19.1%, for the three months ended
September 26, 2020. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months
ended October 2, 2021 resulted primarily from an increase in the amount of
excess tax benefits realized from stock-based compensation of approximately $3.3
million compared to the three months ended September 26, 2020.
Comparison of the Nine Months ended October 2, 2021 to the Nine Months ended

This increase was primarily due to higher revenue from consumables, services and
parameters, as well as the impact of approximately $9.5 million of favorable
foreign exchange rate movements from the prior year period that increased the
U.S. Dollar translation of foreign sales that were denominated in various
foreign currencies. During the nine months ended October 2, 2021, we shipped
approximately 213,100 noninvasive technology boards and instruments.
Product revenue generated through our direct and distribution sales channels
increased $112.4 million, or 16.1%, to $810.4 million for the nine months ended
October 2, 2021, compared to $698.0 million for the nine months ended
September 26, 2020. Revenues from our OEM channel decreased $49.5 million, or

Cost of goods sold increased $25.6 million for the nine months ended October 2,
2021 compared to the nine months ended September 26, 2020, primarily due to
higher material, manufacturing and distribution costs associated with the
increase in product sales.
Gross profit decreased to 65.1% for the nine months ended October 2, 2021
compared to 65.5% for the nine months ended September 26, 2020, primarily due to
costs associated with an elevated level of customer installations and higher
material, manufacturing and distribution costs, offset by favorable revenue mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of our existing cash and cash
equivalent balances, future funds expected to be generated from operations and
available borrowing capacity under our credit facility. As of October 2, 2021,
we had approximately $909.5 million in working capital, of which approximately
$652.4 million was in cash and cash equivalents. In addition to net working
capital, we had approximately $147.6 million of available borrowing capacity
(net of outstanding letters of credit) under our credit facility.
In managing our day-to-day liquidity and capital structure, we generally do not
rely on foreign earnings as a source of funds. As of October 2, 2021, we had
cash totaling $91.8 million held outside of the U.S., of which
approximately $50.3 million was accessible without additional tax cost and
approximately $41.5 million was accessible at an incremental estimated tax cost
of up to $0.4 million. We currently have sufficient funds on-hand and cash held
outside the U.S. that is available without additional tax cost to fund our
global operations. In the event funds that are treated as permanently reinvested
are repatriated, we may be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes to
repatriate these funds.

of shares for employee payroll taxes for vested equity awards of approximately
$16.7 million, which were partially offset by the proceeds from the issuance of
common stock related to employee equity awards of approximately $19.0 million.
For the nine months ended September 26, 2020, cash provided by financing
activities was approximately $39.0 million, consisting primarily of proceeds
from the issuance of common stock related to employee equity awards of
approximately $41.0 million, which was partially offset by the withholding of
shares for employee payroll taxes for vested equity awards of approximately $1.4
million and repurchases of our common stock of approximately $0.6 million.
Capital Resources and Prospective Capital Requirements
We expect to fund our future operating, investing and financing activities
through our available cash, future cash from operations, our credit facility and
other potential sources of capital. In addition to funding our working capital
requirements, we anticipate additional capital expenditures primarily related to
investments in infrastructure growth. Possible additional uses of cash may
include acquisitions of and/or strategic investments in technologies or
technology companies, investments in property and repurchases of common stock
under our authorized stock repurchase program. However, any repurchases of
common stock will be subject to numerous factors, including the availability of
our common stock, general market conditions, the trading price of our common
stock, availability of capital, alternative uses for capital and our financial
performance. In addition, the amount and timing of our actual investing
activities will vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including the
timing and amount of capital expenditures, costs of product development efforts,
our timetable for infrastructure expansion, any stock repurchase activity and
costs related to our domestic and international regulatory requirements. Despite
these investment requirements and potential expenditures, we anticipate that our
existing cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our credit
facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, capital
expenditures and other operational funding needs for at least the next 12
months. For additional information related to our credit facility, please see
Note 15 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included
in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have, nor have we ever had, any relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities referred to
as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been
established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or
for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not
engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As a
result, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or
credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships. As of
October 2, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined
in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated
financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amounts of net revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.
We regularly evaluate our estimates and assumptions related to our critical
accounting policies, including revenue recognition, inventory valuation, lessee
right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities, stock-based compensation,
business combinations, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances,
uncertain tax positions, tax contingencies, litigation costs and loss
contingencies.
These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various
other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, and form
the basis for making management's most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of
matters that are inherently uncertain. Although we regularly evaluate these
estimates and assumptions, changes in judgments and uncertainties relating to
these estimates could potentially result in materially different results under
different assumptions and conditions. If these estimates differ significantly
from actual results, the impact to the condensed consolidated financial
statements may be material.

There have been no material changes to any of our critical accounting policies
during the nine months ended October 2, 2021. For a description of these
critical accounting policies, please refer to "Critical Accounting Estimates" in
Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended January 2, 2021, which was filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For details regarding any recently adopted and recently issued accounting
standards, see Note 2 to our accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks that may arise from adverse changes in
market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange fluctuations
and inflation. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to the
increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we can earn on our cash
and cash equivalents and on the increase or decrease in the amount of interest
expense we must pay with respect to our various outstanding debt instruments. As
of October 2, 2021, the carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair
value. We currently do not have any significant risks associated with interest
rates fluctuations related to interest expense. Under our current policies, we
do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest
rate changes. Therefore, declines in interest rates over time will reduce our
interest income while increases in interest rates will increase our interest
income. A hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates along the entire
interest rate yield curve would increase or decrease our interest rate yields on
our investments and interest income by approximately $0.1 million for each $10.0
million in interest-bearing investments.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A majority of our assets and liabilities are maintained in the United States in
U.S. Dollars and a majority of our sales and expenditures are transacted in U.S.
Dollars. However, we also transact with foreign customers in currencies other
than the U.S. Dollar. These foreign currency revenues, when converted into U.S.
Dollars, can vary depending on average exchange rates during a respective
period. In addition, certain of our foreign subsidiaries transact in their
respective country's local currency, which is also their functional currency. As
a result, expenses of these foreign subsidiaries, when converted into U.S.
Dollars can also vary depending on average monthly exchange rates during a
respective period.
We are exposed to foreign currency gains or losses on outstanding foreign
currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as our foreign currency
denominated cash balances and certain intercompany transactions. In addition,
other transactions between us or our subsidiaries and a third-party, denominated
in a currency different from the functional currency, are foreign currency
transactions. Realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses on these
transactions are also included in our statements of operations as incurred.
The balance sheets of each of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency
is not the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange
at the balance sheet date and the statements of comprehensive income and cash
flows are translated into U.S. Dollars using an approximation of the average
monthly exchange rates applicable during the period. Any foreign exchange gain
or loss as a result of translating the balance sheets of our foreign
subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar is included in
equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Our foreign currency exchange rate exposures are primarily with the Canadian
Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, Swedish Krona, the British Pound, Mexican Peso,
Turkish Lira and Australian Dollar. Foreign currency exchange rates may
experience significant volatility from one period to the next. Specifically,
during the nine months ended October 2, 2021, we estimate fluctuations in the
exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and other foreign currencies, including
the Euro, the Australian Dollar, the Canadian Dollar, the British Pound and the
South Korean Won, favorably impacted our revenues by $9.5 million.

  Table of Contents
We currently do not enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge exposures
denominated in foreign currencies and do not use derivative financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The effect of additional
changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material effect on our
future operating results or cash flows, depending on which foreign currency
exchange rates change and depending on the directional change (either a
strengthening or weakening against the U.S. Dollar). We estimate that the
potential impact of a hypothetical 10% adverse change in all applicable foreign
currency exchange rates from the rates in effect as of October 2, 2021 would
have resulted in an estimated reduction of $13.0 million in reported pre-tax
income for the nine months ended October 2, 2021. As our foreign operations
continue to grow, our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk may become
more significant.
Inflation Risk
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations during the periods presented. If
our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may
not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our
inability or failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's (SEC) regulations, rules and forms and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO
and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by
Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act,
we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation
of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing,
our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. During the three months ended October 2, 2021, there were no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
