Further, the Company operates 11 healthcare facilities in India; comprised of one specialty hospital and ten cancer centers.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements herein include adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, results of operations and statements of comprehensive earnings for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, and statements of equity for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts in the prior year in order to conform to the current year's presentation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted this amendment prospectively, and it did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on the accounting related to defined benefit plans and other post-retirement benefits. This amendment requires the service cost component of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost to be presented in the same line item as other employee compensation costs, while the other components must be presented separately as other income, net. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flow. The amendment requires entities to include restricted cash in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively, and prior period amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been recast to conform with the current period presentation as shown in the reconciliation provided below. See Note 3, "Other Financial Information," for a reconciliation of the cash balances within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Nine Months Ended June 29, 2018
(In millions)	As Previously Reported			Adjustments		As Adjusted
Cash used in investing activities	$	(109.9	)	$	6.8	$	(103.1	)
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	716.2		$	2.3	$	718.5
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period	$	536.0		$	9.1	$	545.1

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance for tax accounting for intra-entity asset transfers. The amendment removes the prohibition against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 10, "Income Taxes," for more information about the impact of the adoption.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The amendment was issued to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the changes is the requirement for changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments to be recognized through net earnings rather than other comprehensive income. Under the amendment, equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are eligible for the measurement alternative, which will require the Company to measure these investments at cost, with adjustments for changes in price or impairments reflected through net earnings. The Company adopted the amendment prospectively for its privately-held investments for which the measurement alternative was elected, and adopted the amendment on a modified retrospective basis for all other financial instruments. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

In November 2018, the FASB amended its guidance to clarify revenue accounting for collaborative arrangements. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and will be applied retrospectively to the date of the initial application of ASC 606. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB amended its guidance which will add the Overnight Index Swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended its guidance for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This new standard also requires customers to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. This new standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. This new standard can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which changed the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding and modifying certain disclosures. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB amended its guidance that will allow companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to its accounting guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments. The amendment adds a new impairment model that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard on accounting for leases. The new standard is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new standard will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of earnings. The Company intends to adopt this standard beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2020, using a modified retrospective method and anticipates applying the optional practical expedients related to the transition. While the Company continues to assess the impact of this standard, the Company anticipates a material impact related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and liabilities for previously unrecognized leases on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, including disclosures. The Company's preliminary assessments are subject to change.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business Combinations in Fiscal Year 2019

Cancer Treatment Services International

In June 2019, the Company acquired Cancer Treatment Services International ("CTSI"), a privately-held company that provides cancer care professional services to health care providers worldwide and, through its oncology care brand, American Oncology Institute, focuses on the operation of comprehensive cancer treatment facilities in international markets. CTSI operates AmPath, a full-service reference laboratory and pathology provider, and CTSI Oncology Solutions, an oncology services company that provides solutions such as remote treatment planning services and multi-disciplinary oncology consulting. This acquisition will increase the Company's expertise in cancer center operations.

The Company acquired CTSI for a purchase price of $279.3 million, consisting of $262.8 million of cash consideration, $8.2 million of contingent consideration, and $8.3 million of other consideration. The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration payments is zero to $58 million and is based on actual revenues over the 18 months following the acquisition date. The acquisition was financed with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings. The Company has included this acquisition in its Oncology Systems business. The purchase accounting from this transaction is not yet finalized; however, the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Endocare and Alicon

In June 2019, the Company acquired Austin, Texas-based Endocare and Hangzhou, China-based, Alicon, to expand its portfolio of multidisciplinary integrated cancer solutions. Endocare is a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for cryoablation, and has a microwave ablation product line; and Alicon is a leader in embolic therapy for treating liver cancer in China. These acquisitions enable the Company to develop innovations in interventional oncology and allow it to provide patients and customers with a wider range of cancer care solutions.

The Company acquired Endocare and Alicon for a combined purchase price of $209.4 million consisting of $196.8 million of cash consideration and $12.6 million of contingent consideration. The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration payments is zero to $40 million and is based on actual revenues through March 2020. The acquisitions were financed with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings. These acquisitions comprise the Company's Interventional Oncology business, which is reflected in the "Other" category because the operating segment does not meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment. The purchase accounting from this transaction is not yet finalized; however, the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of operations and the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the CTSI, Endocare and Alicon acquisitions:

(In millions)	CTSI			Endocare and Alicon
Assets acquired (1)	$	54.0		$	32.9
Liabilities assumed (2)	(65.0		)	(17.7		)
Goodwill	182.1			122.7
Intangible assets	117.0			71.5
Fair value of net assets	288.1			209.4
Less: Non-controlling interest (3)	8.8			—
Total purchase consideration	$	279.3		$	209.4

⁽¹⁾ Includes $5.4 million and $11.5 million of cash and cash equivalents for CTSI and Endocare / Alicon, respectively.

⁽²⁾ Includes $33.9 million and $14.8 million of deferred tax liabilities for CTSI and Endocare / Alicon, respectively.

⁽³⁾ The Company's non-controlling interest is a joint venture that was determined to be a variable interest entity. The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture because it has the ability to control the significant activities of the joint venture, has the right to significant residual returns and is exposed to significant expected losses. The Company will consolidate the joint venture into its operations.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The following table provides the valuation of the intangible assets acquired from CTSI, Endocare and Alicon, along with their estimated useful lives:

(Dollars in millions)	CTSI			Endocare and Alicon
Type	Fair Value		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (In Years)	Fair Value		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (In Years)
Technologies and trade names	$	47.9	10.7	$	56.3	7.7
Customer contracts, supplier relationships, and partner relationships (1)	69.1		26.4	4.8		3.0
Total intangible assets with finite lives	117.0			61.1
In-process research and development with indefinite lives	—			10.4
Total intangible assets	$	117.0		$	71.5

⁽¹⁾  CTSI has certain partner relationships with hospitals with useful lives that range from approximately 27 to 29 years.

Other Acquisitions

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company purchased a privately-held company for a cash purchase price of $15.2 million, including a holdback of $3.6 million and contingent consideration. As of the closing date, the value of the contingent consideration is zero because none of the milestones were probable to be achieved. However, the Company could potentially pay up to approximately $9 million by 2023 if certain milestones were met plus additional payments for achieving revenue targets through 2035. The acquisition was classified as an asset acquisition, and the purchase consideration was allocated primarily to the intellectual property that covers the use of radiation in the heart and other forms of radiosurgery for cardiovascular disease, resulting in a $20.8 million of in-process research and development ("in-process R&D") expense because of no future alternative use, and was recorded in acquisition-related expenses and in-process R&D in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company acquired a privately-held software company for a purchase price of $28.5 million. The acquisition primarily consisted of $22.0 million in goodwill and $6.5 million in finite-lived intangible assets. The Company has integrated this acquisition into its Oncology Systems reporting unit. The goodwill for this acquisition is not deductible for income tax.

Measurement Period Adjustments

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $9.6 million to the fair value of the purchase consideration of a business combination that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adjustment primarily included a $11.9 million decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability mostly offset by a decrease to the finite-lived intangible assets of $5.4 million, and a decrease of $4.7 million to goodwill.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $2.6 million to the fair value of the purchase consideration of a business combination that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adjustment consisted of an additional cash payment to sellers and a corresponding increase to goodwill.

Other Information

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount. The Company believes the factors that contributed to goodwill in its completed acquisitions include synergies not available to market participants, as well as the acquisition of a talented workforce.

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been determined on a preliminary basis, and the Company will finalize these amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of a business combination may result in certain adjustments. The Company expects to finalize these amounts no later than one year from the date of each business combination.

(Unaudited)

Management applied significant judgment in determining the fair value of intangible assets, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the revenue growth rates, the economic lives, and the discount rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been estimated based on the likelihood of the performance metrics being achieved.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results from the date the business was acquired. The impact of the completed business combinations to the periods presented was not material. Pro forma results of operations for the completed business combination have not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company incurred acquisition-related expenses of $10.4 million and $12.7 million during the three months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and $15.0 million and $33.9 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively.

⁽²⁾  Included in other long-term liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the nine months ended June 28, 2019, unbilled receivables remained flat, and deferred revenues, decreased primarily due to the contractual timing of billings occurring before the revenues were recognized.

During the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, the Company recognized revenues of $207.2 million and $545.0 million, respectively, which were included in the deferred revenues balance at September 28, 2018. During the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, the Company recognized revenues of $66.5 million and $367.0 million, which were included in the deferred revenues balance at September 29, 2017.

⁽²⁾  Included in prepaid and other current assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the Company had the ability and intent to sell this security in the next twelve months.

The Company classifies its money market funds as Level 1 because they have daily liquidity, quoted prices for the underlying investments can be obtained, and there are active markets for the underlying investments. The Company's Level 2 available-for-sale securities consist of bonds for the Maryland Proton Therapy Center ("MPTC"), Alabama Proton Therapy Center (“APTC”), and Georgia Proton Treatment Center ("GPTC"). The observable inputs for these securities are comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets, and other observable inputs such as yields, credit risks, default rates, and volatility. As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the carrying amount of the Company's Level 1 money market funds and Level 2 available-for-sale securities approximated their respective fair values. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for further information about the available-for-sale securities.

VARIAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its derivative instruments using standard valuation techniques and Level 2 inputs, such as currency spot rates, forward points and credit default swap spreads. The Company’s derivative instruments are generally short-term in nature, typically one month to thirteen months in duration.

The Company generally measures the fair value of its Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities based on option pricing models through Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo models with key assumptions that include estimated revenues of the acquired business, the probability of completing certain milestone targets during the earn-out period, volatility, and estimated discount rates corresponding to the periods of expected payments. If the estimated revenues or probability of completing certain milestones were to increase or decrease during the respective earn-out period, the fair value of the contingent consideration would increase or decrease, respectively. If the estimated discount rates were to increase or decrease, the fair value of contingent consideration would decrease or increase, respectively. Changes in volatility may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration. The Company's contingent consideration is from its business combinations and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

(In millions)	Contingent Consideration
Balance at September 28, 2018	$	(24.4	)
Business combinations	(26.2		)
Measurement period adjustment to a business combination in prior year	11.9
Settlements	0.5
Balance at June 28, 2019	$	(38.2	)

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value measurement levels during either the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, or the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018. Transfers between fair value measurement levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including bank deposits included in cash equivalents, trade and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, revolving loan to California Proton Therapy Center ("CPTC"), Rinecker Proton Therapy Center ("RPTC") senior secured debt, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to their short maturities.

As of June 28, 2019, the fair value of the Term Loan with CPTC approximated its carrying value of $44.0 million. The carrying value is based on the present value of expected future cash payments discounted at a rate reflecting the nature and duration of the loans, risks involved with CPTC, and its industry. As a result, the Term Loan is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for further information.

The Company's equity investments in privately-held companies were $61.2 million and $37.2 million at June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are measured at cost and will be adjusted through net earnings when they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes. At June 28, 2019, the Company increased the fair value for an equity investment in a privately-held company by $2.0 million due to observable price changes for equity investments without readily determinable fair value.

The fair value of the outstanding long-term notes receivable, including accrued interest, approximated their carrying value of $32.6 million and $29.7 million at June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively, because they are based on terms of recent comparable transactions and are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is based on the income approach by using the discounted cash flow model with key assumptions that include discount rates corresponding to the terms and risks as well as underlying cash flow assumptions. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for information on the long-term notes receivable.

A financing receivable represents a financing arrangement with a contractual right to receive money, on demand or on fixed or determinable dates, and that is recognized as an asset on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s financing receivables consist of trade receivables with contractual maturities of more than one year and notes receivable. A small portion of the Company's financing trade receivables are included in short-term trade accounts receivable.

As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts is entirely related to short-term trade and unbilled receivables.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $50.5 million for the full value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit goodwill. The impairment resulted from a downward revision of the forecasted future cash flows. Factors in the third quarter that contributed to the revised forecast include observed continued weakness in proton therapy markets and lower than expected results as compared to prior forecasts. These events decreased the forecasted cash flows and the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit below its carrying value as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.

To determine the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit, the Company used the income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit was based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate over its remaining life. Cash flow projections were based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used was based on the weighted-average cost of capital appropriate for the Proton Solutions reporting unit.

The Company also assessed whether the carrying amounts of the Proton Solutions reporting unit’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable and therefore impaired. To assess the recoverability of the reporting unit’s long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows of the reporting unit were analyzed and compared to the carrying value. The sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the asset group, therefore, no impairment was indicated.

The following table reflects the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company's intangible assets: 

	June 28, 2019							September 28, 2018
(In millions)	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company measures all derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of those derivatives depends upon the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.

The fair value of derivative instruments reported on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows:

		June 28, 2019
(In millions)	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign exchange forward contracts	Accrued liabilities	$	(0.3	)
Total derivatives		$	(0.3	)

As of September 28, 2018, the Company did not have any outstanding derivatives designated as hedging instruments. As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the fair value of the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were not material.

Cash Flow Hedging Activities

The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted revenues and designated as cash flow hedges:

	June 28, 2019
(In millions)	Notional Value Sold
Euro	$	25.5

As of September 28, 2018, the Company did not have any outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The following table presents the amounts, before tax, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Balance Sheet Hedging Activities

The Company also hedges balance sheet exposures from its various subsidiaries and business units where the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, changes in their fair values are recognized in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Changes in the values of these hedging instruments are offset by changes in the values of foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. At June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the fair value of the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was not material.

The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts relating to balance sheet hedging activities:

The gains (losses) on these derivative instruments were significantly offset by the gains (losses) resulting from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar functional currency.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Product Warranty

The following table reflects the changes in the Company’s accrued product warranty:

	Nine Months Ended
(In millions)	June 28, 2019			June 29, 2018
Accrued product warranty, at beginning of period	$	44.8		$	41.3

Accrued product warranty, at end of period	$	49.6		$	41.5

Accrued product warranty was included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Lease Commitments

At June 28, 2019, the Company's lease commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable operating leases increased by $10.8 million due to leases assumed from the CTSI, Endocare and Alicon acquisitions. The operating lease terms range from 2019 to 2038.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company leases some of its equipment to certain customers on operating leases generally over a period of 15 years. As of June 28, 2019, the Company had $22.5 million and $4.6 million included in property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, related to equipment leased to customers. As of September 28, 2018, the Company had $19.2 million and $1.3 million included in property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, related to equipment leased to customers. The Company recorded income of $2.3 million and $6.5 million during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, respectively, on these equipment leases.

Contingencies

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

The Company’s operations and facilities, past and present, are subject to environmental laws, including laws that regulate the handling, storage, transport and disposal of hazardous substances. Certain of those laws impose cleanup liabilities on the Company in connection with its past and present operations. Those include facilities sold as part of the Company’s electron devices business in 1995 and thin film systems business in 1997. As a result, the Company oversees various environmental cleanup projects and receives reimbursements from third parties for a portion of the costs of its cleanup activities.

VARIAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the Company had accrued $5.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, net of third parties' indemnification obligations, for environmental remediation liabilities. The Company believes its reserve is adequate; however, as the scope of the Company’s obligations becomes more clearly defined, the Company may modify the reserve, and charge or credit future earnings accordingly. Based on information currently known to management, management believes the costs of these environmental-related matters are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company in any one fiscal year.

The Company also reimburses certain third parties for cleanup activities. The amount the Company spent on environmental cleanup costs, third-party claim costs, project management costs and legal costs in the three and nine months June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, was not material.

Other Matters

On October 16, 2018, Best Medical International, Inc. sued the Company in U.S. District Court in the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of four patents related to treatment planning. The Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. This lawsuit is in the initial stages, and at this time, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or estimate a range of possible exposure. Therefore, no amounts have been accrued.

From time to time, the Company is a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and government inspections or investigations and other legal matters, both inside and outside the United States, arising in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise. The Company accrues amounts, to the extent they can be reasonably estimated, that it believes are adequate to address any liabilities related to legal proceedings and other loss contingencies that the Company believes will result in a probable loss (including, among other things, probable settlement value). A loss or a range of loss is disclosed when it is reasonably possible that a material loss will be incurred and can be estimated or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss, when material, will exceed the recorded provision. 

In addition to the above, the Company is involved in other legal matters. However, such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company is unable to estimate a loss or a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters. There can be no assurances as to whether the Company will become subject to significant additional claims and liabilities with respect to ongoing or future proceedings. If actual liabilities significantly exceed the estimates made, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Legal expenses relating to legal matters are expensed as incurred.

9. RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company sponsors five defined benefit pension plans for regular full-time employees in Germany, Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The Company also sponsors a post-retirement benefit plan that provides healthcare benefits to certain eligible retirees in the United States.

The components of net defined benefit costs were as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
(In millions)	June 28, 2019			June 29, 2018			June 28, 2019			June 29, 2018
Defined Benefit Plans
Service cost	$	1.7		$	1.6		$	5.3		$	4.9
Interest cost	0.9			0.8			2.8			2.4

Amortization of prior service cost	(0.2		)	(0.1		)	(0.6		)	(0.4		)
Recognized actuarial loss	0.6			0.7			1.7			2.1
Net periodic benefit cost	$	1.4		$	1.0		$	4.4		$	3.0

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 50.9% and 21.2% for the three months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and 28.5% and 89.2% for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, is primarily

24

VARIAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

(Unaudited)

because the current period includes a goodwill impairment charge and an in-process research and development expense, neither of which generate a tax benefit for the Company. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, was primarily because the prior period included the tax effect of a change in law due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The current periods also include the impact of several provisions of the Act that take effect for the Company for the first time in the fiscal year ending September 27, 2019, including a new minimum tax on certain foreign earnings (the Global Intangible Low-taxed Income, or "GILTI"), a new tax on certain payments to foreign related parties (the Base Erosion and Anti-avoidance Tax), a new incentive for foreign-derived intangible income, changes to the limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, and new limitations on the deductibility of interest expense. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost rather than on a deferred basis. The current periods also reflects the fact that, as the Company has a September fiscal year end, the lower 21% federal rate is now fully phased in; that is, it is applicable to our domestic earnings for the full fiscal year ending September 27, 2019.

As part of the transition to a modified territorial system, the Act imposed a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company recorded a discrete tax expense related to the one-time transition tax of $2.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and of $6.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, resulting in the cumulative amount of $173.3 million. The Company has elected to pay this tax over the eight-year period allowed for in the Act.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. This guidance allowed registrants a “measurement period,” to complete their accounting for the tax effects of the Act. The Company relied on this guidance to refine its estimates of the impact of the Act during the measurement period. The measurement period ended during the Company's period ended December 28, 2018. As a result, the Company considered its accounting for the tax effects of the Act to be complete at that time based on its interpretation of the law and subsequent guidance that had been issued to that point. Subsequently, it was necessary to adjust the Company's calculation of the tax as a result of further guidance and its impact on the Company's interpretation of the rules. It is expected that the U.S. Treasury will continue to issue regulations and other guidance on the application of certain provisions of the Act that may impact the Company's interpretation of the rules and our calculation of the tax impact of the transition tax or other provisions of the Act.

The Company adopted the FASB guidance related to intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. This standard changes the treatment of the tax effect of transfers of property other than inventory among the entities within a registrant's consolidated group. Under the prior standard, the tax effect related to the transfer of property other than inventory from one member of the group to another was recorded to prepaid income taxes, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the new standard, the tax effect related to the transfer of property other than inventory from one member of the group to another is recorded as a discrete item to taxes on earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $0.2 million as of September 29, 2018, as a result of adopting the new standard. The Company expects that the new standard may cause its effective tax rate to be more volatile and less predictable going forward.

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because the Company’s foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are, on average, lower than the U.S. federal rate, and because the Company’s domestic earnings are subject to state income taxes. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change during the nine months ended June 28, 2019; however, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits has increased as a result of positions taken during the current and prior years and has decreased as the result of the expiration of the statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions.

14. PROTON SOLUTIONS LOANS AND INVESTMENTS

In limited cases, the Company participates, along with other investors and at market terms, in the financing of proton therapy centers. Over time, the Company has divested some of its investments, including investments in CPTC, New York Proton Center ("NYPC"), GPTC and the Delray Radiation Therapy Center.

Alabama Proton Therapy Center ("APTC") Securities

In December 2017, the Company purchased $6.0 million in Subordinate Revenue Bonds, which financed the APTC. The Subordinate Revenue Bonds carry an interest rate of 8.5% and pay interest semi-annually. The Company is scheduled to start receiving annual principal payments on the Subordinate Revenue Bonds beginning on November 1, 2022. The Subordinate Revenue Bonds will mature on October 1, 2047.

Rinecker Proton Therapy Center ("RPTC") Senior Secured Debt

In July 2017, the Company purchased the outstanding senior secured debt related to the RPTC in Munich, Germany for 21.5 million Euros or $24.5 million. By purchasing the senior secured debt, the Company has a right to approximately 77 million Euros in claims against all of RPTC's assets. In September 2017, the management of RPTC filed for bankruptcy in Germany. In January 2018, the final insolvency proceedings commenced, and upon finalization of bankruptcy proceedings, the Company believes it is probable it will recover the outstanding senior secured debt balance and trade accounts receivable, net.

At both June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, the Company had $4.5 million in trade receivables, net, from RPTC, which does not include any unbilled receivables.

Georgia Proton Treatment Center ("GPTC") Security

In July 2017 and July 2018, the Company purchased a total of $16.1 million in Senior Capital Appreciation Bonds ("Senior Bonds"), which financed the GPTC. In September 2018 and June 2019, the Company sold all of its Senior Bonds for a total of $16.8 million, which included payment of accrued interest.

New York Proton Center ("NYPC") Loan

In July 2015, the Company committed to loan up to $91.5 million to MM Proton I, LLC. In June 2016, the Company assigned $73.0 million of this loan to Deutsche Bank AG. The remaining balance is comprised of an $18.5 million “Subordinate Loan” with a six-and-a-half-year term at up to 13.5% interest. As of June 28, 2019, the Subordinate Loan is $30.8 million, including accrued interest. The principal balance and accrued interest on the Subordinate Loan are due in full at maturity in January 2022.

In addition to the outstanding loan, the Company had $25.2 million and $24.1 million, in trade and unbilled receivables, as of June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively, which included $12.6 million and $24.1 million in unbilled receivables, respectively, from NYPC.

Maryland Proton Treatment Center ("MPTC") Securities

In August 2018, MPTC refinanced its then outstanding subordinated debt, including accrued interest, and notes receivable balances. As part of the refinancing, in exchange for its then outstanding subordinated loan, the Company received $22.9 million in Subordinate Revenue Bonds ("MPTC Series B-2 Bonds") that carry an interest rate of 8.5% per annum with interest accruing up to the MPTC Series B-2 Bonds face amount of $33.9 million until January 1, 2022 and then will pay cash interest semi-annually. The MPTC Series B-2 Bonds will mature on January 1, 2049. In exchange for its outstanding notes receivable, the Company also received $6.0 million in cash and $25.0 million in Subordinate Revenue Bonds ("MPTC Series B-1 Bonds") that carry an interest rate of 7.5% with interest accruing up to the MPTC Series B-1 Bonds face amount of $32.0 million on January 1, 2022 and then will pay cash interest semi-annually. The MPTC Series B-1 Bonds will mature on January 1, 2048. The MPTC Series B-1 Bonds are senior in right and time to the MPTC Series B-2 Bonds.

At June 28, 2019, the Company had zero net trade and unbilled receivables from MPTC. At September 28, 2018, the Company had $0.5 million in trade receivables, net, from MPTC.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has determined that MM Proton I, LLC and RPTC are variable interest entities and that the Company holds a significant variable interest of each of the entities through its participation in the loan facilities and its agreements to supply and service the proton therapy equipment. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these entities. The Company has no voting rights, has no approval authority or veto rights for these centers' budget, and does not have the power to direct patient recruitment, clinical operations and management of these Centers, which the Company believes are the matters that most significantly affect their economic performance. The Company’s exposure to loss as a result of its

involvement with MM Proton I, LLC and RPTC is limited to the carrying amounts of the above-mentioned assets on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

California Proton Therapy Center ("CPTC") Loans and Investment

Between September 2011 and November 2015, the Company, ORIX and J.P. Morgan (the "Lenders”) funded loans (“Original CPTC Loans”) to the Scripps Proton Therapy Center in San Diego, California. ORIX is the loan agent.

In March 2017, California Proton Treatment Center, LLC ("Original CPTC") filed for bankruptcy and concurrently entered into a Debtor-in-Possession facility (the "DIP Facility") with the Lenders where the Company's pro-rata share of the DIP Facility was $7.3 million. In September 2017, the Lenders and Scripps signed a Transition Agreement to transition the operations of the center from Scripps to Proton Doctors Professional Corporation. As a result of these events, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $51.4 million to its Original CPTC Loans in fiscal year 2017.

Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the California Proton Treatment Center ("Original CPTC") conducted an auction of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center. On December 6, 2017 (“Closing Date”), the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of Scripps Proton Therapy Center to California Proton Therapy Center, LLC (“CPTC”), an entity owned by the Lenders. The Lenders purchased all assets and assumed $112.0 million of Original CPTC’s outstanding liabilities. On December 13, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed the bankruptcy filing of Original CPTC.

On the Closing Date, the Lenders entered into a Credit Agreement with Original CPTC of which the terms of the Original CPTC Loans, DIP Facility and accrued interest (collectively “Former Loans”) have been modified. In addition to the partially satisfied Original CPTC Loans reinstated by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company received a 47.08% equity ownership in CPTC. Original CPTC has assigned all its Former Loans to CPTC at an amount of $112.0 million, the partially satisfied loan balance. Per the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company's portion of the $112.0 million is $53.5 million; the remainder is allocated between ORIX and J.P. Morgan. The $53.5 million is composed of four tranches: Tranche A of $2.0 million, Tranche B of $7.2 million, Tranche C of $15.6 million, and Tranche D of $28.7 million (collectively the "Term Loan"). The maturity date of the Term Loan is three years from the Closing Date. The Term Loan is secured by the assets of CPTC.

In addition, the Lenders have committed to lend up to $15.0 million in a Revolving Loan with a maturity date of one year from the Closing Date. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as provided in the initial agreement, the Lenders granted a one year extension to the term of the Revolving Loan. The Company's share of the funding commitment from the Revolving Loan is $7.2 million, and as of June 28, 2019, the Company has funded $5.1 million.

All of the tranches accrue paid-in-kind interest at 7.5% per annum, except the Tranche B and the Revolving Loan, which accrue paid-in-kind interest at 10% per annum. The seniority of these loans is as follows: Revolving Loan, Tranche A, Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D. If CPTC is in default, the interest rate of the Tranche A, C and D will increase to 9.5% and the interest rate on the Tranche B and the Revolving Loan will increase to 12.0%.

Considering Original CPTC’s financial difficulties, the modification of the original terms of the Former Loans, and the Lenders agreement to grant a concession on the Original CPTC Loans, the Company classified the transaction above as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company does not have any unamortized fees from the Former Loans and any prepayment penalties.

The Company, using a discounted cash flow approach, determined that the fair value of CPTC's equity as of Closing Date was $20.1 million. The Company's 47.08% ownership percentage amounts to a $9.5 million equity interest in CPTC. Since the common stock received was in addition to a loan receivable partially satisfied through the bankruptcy proceedings, in accordance with the TDR accounting guidance, the Company recorded the equity interest at fair value and as an offset to the reinstated loan balance. The equity investment in CPTC was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the Company accounted for its equity method share of the income or loss of CPTC on a quarter lag basis. In March 2019, the Company sold its equity interest, with a carrying value of zero, in CPTC for a nominal amount. Therefore, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company no longer records losses related to the CPTC equity investment.

As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the Company had recorded $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in trade receivables, net, from CPTC.

Further, the Company has determined that CPTC is a variable interest entity because of the Company's participation in the loan facilities, and its operations and maintenance agreement. The Company has no special approval authority or veto rights for

32

VARIAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

CPTC’s budget, and does not have the power to direct patient recruitment, clinical operations and management of CPTC, which the Company believes are the matters that most significantly affect their economic performance. Therefore, the Company does not have majority voting rights and no power to direct activities at CPTC, and as a result it is not the primary beneficiary of CPTC.

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Oncology Systems and Proton Solutions. The Company's Interventional Oncology business is reflected in the "Other" category because it does not meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment. The operating segments were determined based on how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), views and evaluates the Company’s operations. The CODM allocates resources to and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating earnings.

Description of Segments

The Oncology Systems segment designs, manufactures, sells and services hardware and software products for treating cancer with conventional radiation therapy, and advanced treatments such as fixed field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (“IMRT”), image-guided radiation therapy (“IGRT”), volumetric modulated arc therapy ("VMAT"), stereotactic radiosurgery (“SRS”), stereotactic body radiotherapy (“SBRT”) and brachytherapy as well as associated quality assurance equipment. Products include linear accelerators, brachytherapy afterloaders, treatment accessories, and quality assurance software, information management, treatment planning and image processing, clinical knowledge exchange, patient care management, decision-making support and practice management software. Oncology Systems’ products enable radiation oncology departments in hospitals and clinics to perform conventional radiotherapy treatments and offer advanced treatments such as IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, SRS and SBRT, as well as to treat patients using brachytherapy techniques, which involve temporarily implanting radioactive sources. The Company’s Oncology Systems products are also used by surgeons and radiation oncologists to perform stereotactic radiosurgery and by medical oncology departments to manage chemotherapy treatments. Oncology Systems’ customers worldwide include university research and community hospitals, private and governmental institutions, healthcare agencies, physicians’ offices and cancer care clinics.

In addition to providing the products and services for oncology care described above, the Company offers treatment planning as a service and quality assurance as a service, which allows remote support and delivery of care in understaffed locations to utilize technology on a per patient basis. Further, the Company operates 11 healthcare facilities in India; comprised of one specialty hospital and ten cancer centers.

The Proton Solutions segment develops, designs, manufactures, sells and services products and systems for delivering proton therapy, a form of external beam radiotherapy using proton beams for the treatment of cancer.

The Other category includes the Interventional Oncology business, which offers products for minimally invasive interventional oncology procedures and treatments, including cryoablation, microwave ablation and embolic beads.

The following information is provided for the purpose of achieving an understanding of operations but may not be indicative of the financial results of the reported segments were they independent organizations. In addition, comparisons of the Company’s operations to similar operations of other companies may not be meaningful.

The Company allocates corporate costs to its operating segments based on the relative revenues of Oncology Systems, Proton Solutions and Interventional Oncology. The Company allocates these costs excluding certain corporate related costs, transactions or adjustments that the Company's CODM considers to be non-operational, such as restructuring and impairment charges, significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs, and acquisition-related expenses. Although the Company excludes these amounts from segment operating earnings, they are included in the condensed consolidated operating earnings and included in the reconciliation below.

However, its report dated August 7, 2019, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Varian Medical Systems, Inc.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Varian Medical Systems, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 28, 2019, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings, of comprehensive earnings and of equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of September 28, 2018, and the related consolidated statement of earnings, of comprehensive earnings, of equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated November 26, 2018, which included a paragraph describing a change in the manner of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers in the 2018 consolidated financial statements, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 28, 2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Overview

We, Varian Medical Systems, Inc., are a Delaware corporation originally incorporated in 1948 as Varian Associates, Inc. We are the world’s leading manufacturer of medical devices and software for treating cancer and other medical conditions with radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiotherapy, brachytherapy and proton therapy. Through recent acquisitions, we now operate a hospital and cancer centers in India and Sri Lanka; provide cancer care professional services to healthcare providers worldwide; and are a supplier of a broad portfolio of interventional oncology solutions. Our vision is a world without fear of cancer. Our mission is to combine the ingenuity of people with the power of data and technology to achieve new victories against cancer. To meet this challenge, we offer comprehensive solutions for fighting cancer.

We have two reportable operating segments: Oncology Systems and Proton Solutions. Our Interventional Oncology business is reflected in the "Other" category because it does not meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment. The operating segments were determined based on how our Chief Executive Officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), views and evaluates our operations. The CODM allocates resources to and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating earnings.

The Americas region includes North America (primarily United States and Canada) and Latin America. The EMEA region includes Europe, Russia, the Middle East, India and Africa. The APAC region primarily includes East and Southeast Asia and Australia.

Long-Term Growth and Value Creation Strategy

We are focused on cancer care solutions and are well-positioned to positively influence more and more patients globally every day by bringing smarter and simpler solutions to healthcare providers. Our long-term growth and value creation strategy is to transform our company from the global leader in radiation therapy to the global leader in multi-disciplinary, integrated cancer

38

care solutions. We intend to leverage our deep customer relationships, human-centered design, scale and financial strength to selectively broaden our capabilities to help cancer patients. To achieve these long-term objectives, we are focused on driving growth through strengthening our leadership in radiation therapy, extending our global footprint and expanding into other addressable markets.

Cancer Treatment Services International. In June 2019, we acquired Cancer Treatment Services International ("CTSI"), a privately-held company that provides cancer care professional services to health care providers worldwide and, through its oncology care brand, American Oncology Institute, focuses on the operation of comprehensive cancer treatment facilities in international markets. CTSI operates AmPath, a full-service reference laboratory and pathology provider, and CTSI Oncology Solutions, an oncology services company that provides solutions such as remote treatment planning services and multi-disciplinary oncology consulting. This acquisition will increase our expertise in cancer center operations, allowing for new partnerships globally, which will allow us to deliver world-class, value-based care in developed and emerging markets. In addition, we expect that the transaction will enable us to innovate and be a leader in cancer focused technology-enabled services. CTSI operations are included in our Oncology Systems business.

We acquired CTSI for a purchase price of $279.3 million, consisting of $262.8 million of cash consideration, $8.2 million of contingent consideration, and $8.3 million of other consideration. The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration payments is zero to $58 million and is based on actual revenues over the 18 months following the acquisition date.

Endocare and Alicon. In June 2019, we acquired Austin, Texas-based Endocare and Hangzhou, China-based, Alicon, to expand our portfolio of multidisciplinary integrated cancer solutions. Endocare is a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for cryoablation, and has a microwave ablation product line; and Alicon is a leader in embolic therapy for treating liver cancer in China. These acquisitions enable us to develop innovations in interventional oncology and provide patients and customers with a wider range of cancer care solutions. Endocare and Alicon operations comprise our Interventional Oncology business.

We acquired Endocare and Alicon for a combined purchase price of $209.4 million consisting of approximately $196.8 million of cash consideration and $12.6 million of contingent consideration. The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration payments is zero to $40 million and is based on actual revenues through March 2020.

Impairment of Proton Solutions Goodwill. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $50.5 million for the full value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit goodwill. The impairment resulted from a downward revision of the forecasted future cash flows. Factors in the third quarter that contributed to the revised forecast include observed continued weakness in proton therapy markets and lower than expected results as compared to prior forecasts. These events decreased the forecasted cash flows and the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit below its carrying value as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.

To determine the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit, we used the income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit was based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate over its remaining life. Cash flow projections were based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used was based on the weighted-average cost of capital appropriate for the Proton Solutions reporting unit.

Acquisition-related expenses and in-process research and development. We incurred acquisition-related expenses and in-process research and development of $31.2 million and $12.7 million during the three months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and $35.8 million and $33.9 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively. The three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, included a $20.8 million charge associated with a write-off of in-process research and development ("in-process R&D") related to an acquisition that closed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Tariff Measures. On July 6, 2018, the Trump Administration imposed 25% tariffs on a variety of products, when imported from China, including Varian’s radiotherapy systems manufactured in China and certain components imported from China into the United States for our manufacturing and service activities. On August 23, 2018, the Administration imposed 25% tariffs on a second list of products from China. On September 24, 2018, the Administration imposed 10% tariffs on a third list of products, and the tariffs in the third list were increased to 25% on May 10, 2019. We expect our imports into the United States to be impacted less by the second and third tariff lists than by the first tariff list.

China responded to the multiple U.S. tariff lists by announcing several lists of products from the United States that are subject to retaliatory tariffs upon import to China. On July 26, 2018, China imposed a first round of 25% retaliatory tariffs that did not impact our products. On August 23, 2018, China imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs on a second list of products, including our exports of United States manufactured radiotherapy systems to China. On June 27, July 2, and July 4, 2019 respectively, Varian submitted formal requests to the Chinese government for exclusion from the retaliatory tariffs for manufacturing inputs, service parts, and radiotherapy systems imported into China from the United States. Any tariffs imposed by the United States and China that include Varian technology could increase the cost of our products and adversely impact the competitiveness of our products and/or our operational results in the future.

We participated in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative ("USTR") process to seek product-specific exclusions from the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. On December 21, 2018, USTR announced its approval of our request to exclude certain radiotherapy systems manufactured in China, and this decision was later published on December 28, 2018. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, an additional approval of Varian’s request to exclude multi-leaf collimators was granted on July 9, 2019. These exclusions mean Varian’s imports of radiotherapy systems and multi-leaf collimators from China into the United States will not be subject to the China tariffs. While we are uncertain of the outcome of our remaining two exclusion requests to the USTR relating to certain components imported from China, if we are successful, we could be provided relief from these tariffs retroactive to the date of their enactment. On June 27, July 2, and July 4, 2019 respectively, Varian submitted requests for exclusion from the retaliatory tariffs for manufacturing inputs, service parts, and radiotherapy systems imported into China from the United States. In addition, we continue to engage in ongoing planning in and optimization of our global manufacturing and supply chain operations in light of the long-term uncertainty of these tariff measures and to have a more resilient business disruption and continuity plan.

In the aggregate these tariffs will be referred to as "U.S./China tariffs."

Currency Fluctuation. In order to assist with the assessment of how our underlying businesses performed, we compare the percentage change in revenues and Oncology Systems gross orders from one period to another, excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations (i.e., using constant currency exchange rates). To present this information on a constant currency basis, we convert current period revenues and gross orders in currencies other than U.S. Dollars into U.S. Dollars using the comparable prior period’s average exchange rate. Percentage changes in revenues and gross orders are not adjusted for constant currency unless indicated.

40

Currency fluctuations had a $19.1 million and $16.4 million unfavorable impact on total revenues and Oncology Systems gross orders, respectively, for the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period. We expect that fluctuations of non-U.S. Dollar currencies against the U.S. Dollar may continue to cause variability in our financial performance.

Oncology Systems. Our Oncology Systems business designs, manufactures, sells and services hardware and software products for treating cancer with conventional radiotherapy, and advanced treatments, such as fixed field intensity-modulated radiation therapy ("IMRT"), image-guided radiation therapy ("IGRT"), volumetric modulated arc therapy ("VMAT"), stereotactic radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy and brachytherapy. Our software solutions include informatics software for information management, clinical knowledge exchange, patient care management, practice management and decision-making support for comprehensive cancer clinics, radiotherapy centers and medical oncology practices.

In addition to providing the products and services for oncology care described above, we offer treatment planning as a service and quality assurance as a service, which allows remote support and delivery of care in understaffed locations to utilize technology on a per patient basis, providing increased quality and reduced costs. Further, we operate 11 healthcare facilities in India; comprised of one specialty hospital and ten cancer centers. The CTSI acquisition will enable us to innovate and incubate new solutions such as technology-enabled services and to develop technologies that incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.

Our primary goal in the Oncology Systems business is to promote the adoption of more advanced and effective cancer treatments. In our view, the fundamental market forces that drive long-term growth in our Oncology Systems business are the rise in cancer cases; technology advances and product developments that are leading to improvements in patient care and outcomes; customer demand for the more advanced and effective cancer treatments that we enable; competitive conditions among hospitals and clinics to offer such advanced treatments; continued improvement in safety and cost efficiency in delivering radiation therapy; and underserved medical needs outside of the United States. Approximately half of Oncology Systems gross orders and revenues come from international markets, within which certain emerging markets typically can have lower gross margins and longer installation cycles since many of these purchases are for new sites where treatment vaults need to be constructed. We have also seen an increased portion of total gross orders and total revenues coming from hardware and software. Software has a higher gross margin percentage than our hardware products. We have also been investing a higher portion of our Oncology Systems research and development budget in software and software-related products.

The radiation oncology market in North America is largely characterized by replacements of older machines, with periodic increases in demand driven by the introduction of new technologies. Reimbursement rates in the United States have generally supported a favorable return on investment for the purchase of new radiotherapy equipment and technologies. While we believe that improved product functionality, greater cost-effectiveness and prospects for better clinical outcomes with new capabilities such as IMRT, IGRT and VMAT tend to drive demand for radiotherapy products, large changes in reimbursement rates or reimbursement structure can affect customer demand and cause market shifts. We believe that growth of the radiation oncology market in the United States could be impacted as customers’ decision-making processes are complicated by the uncertainties surrounding reimbursement rates and models for radiotherapy and radiosurgery, and that this uncertainty will likely continue in future fiscal years. We believe this uncertainty could impact transaction size, timing and purchasing processes, and also contribute to increased quarterly business variability. Given all the dynamic elements affecting this market, as outlined above, we believe the North America market will continue to grow in the low to mid-single digit range.

In the radiation oncology markets outside of North America, we expect the EMEA market to grow over the long term with varying growth rates across the region. In APAC, we expect China to lead longer-term regional growth. Latin America is currently experiencing currency fluctuations and the impact of political instability in some countries such as Argentina and Brazil. However, we are cautiously optimistic about the long-term outlook in the region and expect continued growth over the next few years. Overall, we believe the global radiation oncology market can grow over the long term, in constant currencies, in the mid-single-digit range.

Proton Solutions. Our Proton Solutions business develops, designs, manufactures, sells and services products and systems for delivering proton therapy, another form of external beam radiotherapy using proton beams, for the treatment of cancer. Proton therapy is a preferred option for treating certain cancers, particularly tumors near critical structures such as the optic nerve and pediatric cancers. Although proton therapy has been in clinical use for more than four decades, it has not been widely deployed due to the high capital cost.

We are investing substantial resources to grow this business. Proton therapy facilities are large-scale construction projects that are time consuming and involve significant customer investment and often complex project financing. Consequently, this business is vulnerable to general economic and market conditions, as well as reimbursement rates. Customer decision-making cycles tend to be very long, and orders generally involve many contingencies. Credit markets have improved in recent years but

41

the funding environment for large capital projects, such as proton therapy projects, is still challenging. Our current focus is bringing our expertise in traditional radiation therapy to proton therapy to improve its clinical utility and to reduce its cost of treatment per patient, so that it is more widely accepted and deployed.

As of June 28, 2019, we had a total of $163.7 million of notes receivable including accrued interest, senior secured debt, available-for-sale securities, and loans outstanding to Proton Solutions customers. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interventional Oncology. Our Interventional Oncology business offers products for minimally invasive interventional oncology procedures and treatments, including cryoablation, microwave ablation and embolic beads.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our critical accounting policies that are affected by accounting estimates require us to use judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that are inherently uncertain, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

We periodically review our accounting policies, estimates and assumptions and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. During the nine months ended June 28, 2019, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in the financial statements contained in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2018 Annual Report.

Oncology Systems product gross margin percentage increased in the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to the mix of higher-margin products being offset by the U.S./China tariffs and unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The U.S./China tariffs had a negative impact of approximately $15 million, comprised of a negative impact of $10 million in revenues and $5 million in cost of revenues. Oncology Systems product gross margin percentage decreased in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to the U.S./China tariffs and unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, partially offset by mix of higher-margin products. The U.S./China tariffs had a negative impact of $39 million, comprised of a negative impact of $27 million in revenues and $12 million in cost of revenues.

Oncology Systems service gross margin percentage decreased in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to increased costs related to software installations and upgrades.

Proton Solutions gross margin percentage decreased in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to the mix of projects in revenues, partially offset by an increase in service revenues. The decrease in the nine months ended June 28, 2019 includes approximately $7 million in additional project costs in addition to site delays that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

n/m - not meaningful

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13.2 million and $41.2 million in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to an increase in headcount to support sales and marketing for recent acquisitions and product management for treatment planning in Oncology Systems. Also included in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, were a $4.5 million increase in allowance for doubtful accounts, $2.7 million increase related to the ASTRO trade show held in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and a $2.2 million loss on our equity investment in the California Proton Therapy Center ("CPTC").

Impairment charges in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, were due to a $50.5 million goodwill impairment charge to the Proton Solutions reporting unit. Impairment charges, in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, were related to our former subordinated loan to Maryland Proton Treatment Center.

Acquisition-related expenses and in-process R&D increased in three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to a $20.8 million charge associated with a write-off of in-process R&D related to an acquisition that closed in the third quarter, and additional acquisition-related expenses for the CTSI, Endocare and Alicon acquisitions. Acquisition-related expenses for the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, include $13.3 million and $29.7 million, respectively, in losses related to hedging the anticipated Australian dollar Sirtex purchase price, partially offset by a $9.0 million break-up fee received from Sirtex in connection with the termination of the acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Interest income increased in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to an increase in interest income generated from our cash holdings due to higher interest rates as compared to the prior periods.

Interest expense increased in the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to an increase in borrowings from our credit facility during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 to finance acquisitions. Interest expense decreased in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to a decrease in overall borrowings in fiscal year 2019.

Other income, net, increased in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to a $22.0 million gain on the sale of an equity investment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Taxes on Earnings

Effective tax rate	50.9		%	21.2		%			28.5		%	89.2		%

Our effective tax rate increased in the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily because the current period includes a goodwill impairment charge and an in-process R&D expense, neither of which generate a tax benefit for the Company. Our effective tax rate decreased for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily because the prior period included the tax effect of a change in law due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), which was signed into U.S. law on December 22, 2017.

Our effective tax rate is impacted by the percentage of our total earnings that comes from our international region, the mix of particular tax jurisdictions within our international region, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities, and changes in tax laws or interpretations of those laws. We expect that our effective tax rate may experience increased fluctuations from period to period. See Note 12, "Taxes on Earnings," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report.

Diluted net earnings per share decreased in the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to the $50.5 million Proton Solutions goodwill impairment, the $20.8 million write-off of in-process R&D related to an acquisition that closed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, and an increase in income tax expense, partially offset by a $13.3 million loss related to hedging the anticipated Australian dollar Sirtex purchase price during the third quarter of 2018.

Diluted net earnings per share increased in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to higher income tax expense that resulted from the Act in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

Gross Orders

Total Gross Orders	$	891.6	$	767.1	16	%	$	2,384.2	$	2,099.2	14	%

Gross orders are defined as new orders recorded during the period and revisions to previously recorded orders. New orders are recorded for the total contractual amount, excluding certain pass-through items and service items which are recognized as the revenues are recognized, once a written agreement for the delivery of goods or provision of services is in place and, other than Proton Solutions, when shipment of the product is expected to occur within two years, so long as any contingencies are deemed perfunctory. For our Proton Solutions business, we record orders when construction of the related proton therapy treatment center is reasonably expected to start within two years, but only if any contingencies are deemed perfunctory. We will not record Proton Solutions orders if there are major financing contingencies, if a substantial portion of the financing for the project is not reasonably assured or if customer board approval contingencies are pending. We perform a quarterly review to verify that outstanding orders remain valid. If an order is no longer expected to be converted to revenue, we record a backlog adjustment which reduces backlog but does not impact gross orders for the period.

Gross orders in any period may not be directly correlated to the level of revenues in any particular future quarter or period since the timing of revenue recognition will vary significantly based on the delivery requirements of individual orders, acceptance schedules and the readiness of individual customer sites for installation of our products. Moreover, certain types of orders, such as orders for software or newly introduced products in our Oncology Systems segment, typically take more time from order to shipment and/or completion of installation and acceptance, than hardware or older products. Because an order for a proton therapy system can be relatively large, an order in one fiscal period will cause gross orders in our Proton Solutions business to vary significantly, making comparisons between fiscal periods more difficult.

The Americas Oncology Systems gross orders decreased in the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to a decrease in orders from hardware products, partially offset by a growth in orders from services and software licenses. The Americas Oncology Systems gross orders increased in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to growth in orders from services and, to a lesser extent, growth in orders from hardware products and software licenses in North America, partially offset by a decrease in orders from hardware products and software licenses in Latin America.

48

EMEA Oncology Systems gross orders increased in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily due to growth in orders across the region, particularly in emerging markets, for our hardware products, services and software licenses.

APAC Oncology Systems gross orders decreased in the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to a decrease in orders from hardware products and software licenses being mostly offset by an increase in orders from services. APAC Oncology Systems gross orders increased in the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to the growth in orders across the region, primarily in Greater China, Japan, Southeast Asia, and South Korea, for our hardware products and services.

The trailing 12 months' growth in gross orders for Oncology Systems at the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 and at the end of each of the previous three fiscal quarters was:

	Trailing 12 Months Ended
	June 28, 2019	March 29, 2019	December 28, 2018	September 28, 2018
Americas	6%	8%	7%	5%

North America	6%	9%	5%	3%
International	15%	17%	16%	15%
Total Oncology Systems Gross Orders	11%	13%	11%	9%

Consistent with the historical pattern, we expect that Oncology Systems gross orders will continue to experience regional fluctuations. Over the long-term, we expect international gross orders, specifically from emerging markets, will grow as a percentage of overall orders. Oncology Systems gross orders are affected by foreign currency fluctuations, which could impact the demand for our products. In addition, government programs that stimulate the purchase of healthcare products could affect the demand for our products from period to period, and could therefore make it difficult to compare our financial results.

Proton Solutions Gross Orders

Proton Solutions gross orders increased $107.5 million and $69.3 million in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago periods. Proton Solutions recorded three proton system orders in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to recording no proton system orders and two proton system orders in the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018, respectively. Also contributing to the increase in gross orders was an increase in service orders in fiscal year 2019.

Backlog

Backlog is the accumulation of all gross orders for which revenues have not been recognized but are still considered valid. Backlog is stated at historical foreign currency exchange rates and revenue is released from backlog at current exchange rates, with any difference recorded as a backlog adjustment. At June 28, 2019, total Company backlog was $3.1 billion, an increase of 6% compared to the backlog at June 29, 2018. Our Oncology Systems backlog at June 28, 2019 was 7% higher than the backlog at June 29, 2018, which reflected an increase of 7% for the both international regions and North America, respectively. Proton Solutions backlog was $252 million at June 28, 2019.

We perform a quarterly review to verify that outstanding orders in the backlog remain valid. Aged orders that are not expected to ultimately convert to revenues are classified as dormant and are reflected as a reduction in the backlog amounts in the period identified. Backlog adjustments are comprised of dormancies, cancellations, foreign currency exchange rate adjustments, backlog acquired from our acquisitions, and other adjustments. Gross orders do not include backlog adjustments. Backlog adjustments totaled net reductions of $65.3 million and $102.5 million in the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to $36.4 million and $116.1 million in the year-ago periods, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, acquire businesses or make other investments or loans, repurchase shares of VMS common stock, and fund

49

continuing operations and capital expenditures. Our sources of cash have included operations, borrowings, stock option exercises, and employee stock purchases.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following table summarizes our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash:

(In millions)	June 28, 2019		September 28, 2018		Increase
Cash and cash equivalents	$	520.7	$	504.8	$	15.9
Restricted cash	22.2		11.6		10.6
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	542.9	$	516.4	$	26.5

The increase in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the nine months ended June 28, 2019 was primarily due to $254.0 million of cash provided by operating activities, $400.0 million in net borrowings from our credit facility, $55.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees, and $29.9 million in proceeds from the sale of an equity investment, partially offset by $485.6 million used for acquisitions, $134.2 million used for the repurchase of shares of VMS common stock, $43.7 million used for purchases of property, plant, and equipment, $29.8 million for equity investments, $16.8 million debt repayment related to a recent acquisition, and $14.1 million used for tax withholdings on vesting of equity awards.

At June 28, 2019, we had approximately $51 million, or 10%, of cash and cash equivalents in the United States, which included approximately $16.7 million held as money market funds, and approximately $470 million, or 90%, of cash and cash equivalents was held abroad. In light of the changes to the U.S. federal taxation of foreign earnings, we no longer consider the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. As a result, we have accrued for the foreign and state income taxes that we expect would be imposed upon a future remittance.

As of June 28, 2019, most of our cash and cash equivalents that was held abroad was in U.S. Dollars and was primarily held as bank deposits. In addition to cash flows generated from operations, a significant portion of which are generated in the United States, we have used our credit facilities to meet our cash needs from time to time and expect to continue to do so in the future. Borrowings under our credit facilities may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, VMS share repurchases, acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

Cash Flows

	Nine Months Ended

Effects of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	2.2			4.6
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	26.5		$	(173.4	)

Our primary cash inflows and outflows were as follows:

• In the nine months ended June 28, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $254.0 million compared to $346.7 million in the nine months ended June 29, 2018. The $92.7 million decrease in net cash from operating activities was driven by a $266.6 million decrease in the net change from operating assets and liabilities and a $14.4 million decrease from non-cash items partially offset by a $188.3 million increase in net earnings.

• The major contributors to the net change in operating assets and liabilities, net of effects of acquisitions, in the nine months ended June 28, 2019 were as follows:

◦ Trade and unbilled receivables increased $77.7 million primarily due to an increase in revenues in Oncology Systems.

50

◦ Inventory increased $78.4 million primarily to support a higher volume of orders in Oncology Systems.

◦ Prepaid expenses and other assets increased $26.9 million primarily due to an increase in prepaid taxes.

◦ Accounts payable increased $29.9 million primarily due to timing of payments.

◦ Accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities decreased $24.4 million, primarily due to the timing of income tax payments and payments processed for accrued compensation.

◦ Deferred revenues increased $54.9 million primarily due to an increase in billing ahead of revenue recognition resulting from changes in the mix of contractual billing terms.

We expect that cash provided by operating activities may fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors, including fluctuations in our operating results, timing of product shipments, product installation or customer acceptance, trade receivable collections, inventory management, and the timing and amount of taxes and other payments. For additional discussion, please refer to the “Risk Factors” in Item 1A herein and in Part I, Item 1A of our 2018 Annual Report.

• In the nine months ended June 28, 2019, cash used in investing activities was $523.7 million, compared to $103.1 million in the nine months ended June 29, 2018. In the nine months ended June 28, 2019, cash used in investing activities primarily included $485.6 million used for acquisitions, $43.7 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment, and $29.8 million for purchases of equity investments, partially offset by $29.9 million received from the sale of an equity investment, and $8.5 million received from the sale of an available-for-sale security. In the nine months ended June 29, 2018, cash used in investing activities primarily included $58.7 million used for acquisitions, $30.8 million for the purchases of property, plant and equipment, $10.1 million for the purchase of equity investments, a $6.0 million investment in an available-for-sale security, $5.5 million for the purchase of a foreign currency option for the anticipated acquisition of Sirtex, and $5.3 million in loans to CPTC, partially offset by $8.0 million received from the sale of an available-for-sale security and $6.3 million received from repayments on notes receivables.

• In the nine months ended June 28, 2019, cash provided by financing activities was $294.0 million compared to cash used of $421.6 million in the nine months ended June 29, 2018. In the nine months ended June 28, 2019, cash provided by financing activities primarily included $400 million in net borrowings from our credit facility and $55.7 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees, partially offset by $134.2 million for the repurchase of VMS common stock, a $16.8 million debt repayment related to a recent acquisition, and $14.1 million for tax withholdings on vesting of equity awards. In the nine months ended June 29, 2018, cash used in financing activities primarily included $331.7 million in debt repayments, net of borrowings, under our credit facility agreements, $131.9 million for the repurchase of VMS common stock and $11.5 million for tax withholdings on vesting of equity awards, partially offset by $57.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock to employees.

2018 Revolving Credit Facility

The following table summarizes our short-term borrowings:

(Dollars in millions)	June 28, 2019
2018 Revolving Credit Facility	$	400.0	3.40	%
Total short-term borrowings	$	400.0

On April 3, 2018, we entered into the 2018 Credit Agreement with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. The 2018 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year revolving credit facility ("2018 Revolving Credit Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.8 billion. The 2018 Revolving Credit Facility also includes a $50.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit and permits swing line loans of up to $25 million. Under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, we have the right to (i) request to increase the aggregate commitments by an aggregate amount for all such requests of up to $100.0 million and (ii) request an additional increase in the commitments or establish one or more term loans, provided that, in each case, the lenders are willing to provide such new or increased commitments and certain other conditions are met. The proceeds of the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases, permitted acquisitions and other corporate purposes.

51

Borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest based on either (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin of 1.000% to 1.375% based on a net leverage ratio involving funded indebtedness and EBITDA, or (ii) a base rate of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) BofA’s announced prime rate, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%, whichever is highest, plus a margin of 0.000% to 0.375% based on the same leverage ratio, depending upon instructions from us. Borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility have a contract repayment date of twelve months, or less, and a final maturity of five years if based on the Eurodollar Rate and all overnight borrowings on the base rate would also have a final maturity of five years.

We must pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility at a rate from 0.125% to 0.25% based on a net leverage ratio. We may prepay, reduce or terminate the commitments without penalty. Swing line loans under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at the base rate plus the then applicable margin for base rate loans.

The 2018 Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants applicable to us and our subsidiaries that are typical for credit facilities of this type, and that are subject to materiality and other qualifications, carve-outs, baskets and exceptions. We agreed to maintain a financial covenant which requires a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio. We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement for all periods within these condensed consolidated financial statements.

In addition, our Japanese subsidiary (“VMS KK”) has an unsecured uncommitted credit agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation that enables VMS KK to borrow and have outstanding at any given time a maximum of 3.0 billion Japanese Yen (the “Sumitomo Credit Facility”). The Sumitomo Credit Facility will expire in February 2020.

Our liquidity is affected by many factors, some of which result from the normal ongoing operations of our business and some of which arise from uncertainties and conditions in the United States and global economies. Although our cash requirements will fluctuate as a result of the shifting influences of these factors, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash to be generated from operations, and current or future credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy anticipated commitments for capital expenditures, and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months and into the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will continue to utilize our available liquidity and cash flows from operations, as well as borrowed funds, to make strategic acquisitions, invest in the growth of our business, invest in advancing our systems and processes, repurchase VMS common stock, fund loan commitments and other strategic investments.

Debt as a percentage of total capital was 18.6% at June 28, 2019. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 1.29 to 1 at June 28, 2019 from 1.63 to 1 at September 28, 2018, primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings.

Days Sales Outstanding

Our Oncology Systems trade and unbilled receivables days sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased to 105 days at June 28, 2019 from 106 days at June 29, 2018. Our accounts receivable and DSO are impacted by a number of factors, primarily including: the timing of product shipments, product installation or customer acceptance, collections performance, payment terms, the mix of revenues from different regions, and the effects of economic instability. Proton Solutions' DSO is not meaningful because it is highly variable. As of June 28, 2019, approximately 6% of our net trade and unbilled receivables balance was related to customer contracts with remaining terms of more than one year.

Share Repurchase Program

We repurchased shares of VMS common stock during the periods presented as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts)	June 28, 2019		June 29, 2018		June 28, 2019		June 29, 2018
Number of shares	0.4		0.3		1.1		1.1
Average repurchase price per share	$	138.90	$	120.59	$	123.15	$	112.25
Total cost	$	48.6	$	39.2	$	134.2	$	131.9

In November 2016, the VMS Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 8.0 million shares of VMS common stock commencing on January 1, 2017. As of June 28, 2019, approximately 2.5 million shares of VMS common stock remained available for repurchase under the November 2016 authorization.

52

Stock repurchases may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions (including accelerated share repurchase programs), or under Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plans, and also may be made from time to time or in one or more larger blocks. All shares that were repurchased under our share repurchase programs have been retired.

Contractual Obligations

Long-term income taxes payable includes the liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, and the noncurrent portion of the one-time transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings under the Act. As of June 28, 2019, our liability for uncertain tax positions was $45.5 million, of which we do not anticipate making any payments in the next 12 months. We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of the remainder of future payments related to uncertain tax positions; we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash to be generated from operations, and current or future credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy any payment obligations that may arise related to our liability for uncertain tax positions. We have elected to pay the one-time transition tax over a period of 8 years as follows: 8% per year for each of the first five years and 15%, 20%, and 25%, in years 6 through 8, respectively. As of June 28, 2019, the noncurrent portion of the one-time transition tax on unremitted foreign earnings was $137.5 million.

At June 28, 2019, our lease commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable operating leases increased by $10.8 million due to leases assumed from the CTSI, Endocare and Alicon acquisitions. The operating lease terms range from 2019 to 2038.

Except for the items discussed above, there has been no significant change to the other contractual obligations we reported in our 2018 Annual Report.

Contingencies

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

For a discussion of environmental remediation liabilities, see Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

Other Matters

From time to time, we are a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and government inspections or investigations and other legal matters both inside and outside the United States, arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. See Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In conjunction with the sale of our products in the ordinary course of business, we provide standard indemnification of business partners and customers for losses suffered or incurred for property damages, death and injury and for patent, copyright or any other intellectual property infringement claims by any third parties with respect to our products. The terms of these indemnification arrangements are generally perpetual. Except for losses related to property damages, the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these arrangements is unlimited. As of June 28, 2019, we have not incurred any significant costs since the spin-off of Varian, Inc. and Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. in 1999 or the distribution of Varex Imaging Corporation in 2017, to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification arrangements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these arrangements is minimal.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers and certain of our employees that serve as officers or directors of our foreign subsidiaries that may require us to indemnify our directors and officers and those certain employees against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any legal proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to three primary types of market risks: credit risk and counterparty risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk.

Credit Risk and Counterparty Risk

We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on the foreign currency forward contracts used in hedging activities. These counterparties are large international and regional financial institutions and to date, no such counterparty has failed to meet its financial obligation to us under such contracts.

We are also exposed to credit loss in the event of default by counterparties of our financing receivables and our loans to Proton Solutions customers. As of June 28, 2019, we had a total of $49.1 million in loans outstanding to CPTC and $114.6 million carrying value of notes receivable including accrued interest to Proton Solutions customers, available-for-sale securities, and short-term senior secured debt. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

In addition, cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions. We also may need to rely on our credit facilities as described below under “Interest Rate Risk.” Our access to our cash and cash equivalents or ability to borrow could be reduced if one or more financial institutions with which we have deposits or from which we borrow should fail or otherwise be adversely impacted by conditions in the financial or credit markets. Conditions such as those we experienced as a result of the last economic downturn and accompanying contraction in the credit markets heighten these risks. Concerns over economic instability could make it more difficult for us to collect outstanding receivables and could adversely impact our liquidity.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a global entity, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures may change over time as business practices evolve. Adverse foreign currency rate movements could have a material negative impact on our financial results. Our primary exposures related to foreign currency denominated sales and purchases are in Europe, Asia, Australia and Canada.

We have many transactions denominated in foreign currencies and address certain of those financial exposures through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments. We sell products throughout the world, often in the currency of the customer’s country, and may hedge certain of these larger foreign currency sale transactions when they are not transacted in the subsidiaries’ functional currency or in U.S. Dollars. The foreign currency transactions that fit our risk management policy criteria are hedged with foreign currency forward contracts. We may use other derivative instruments in the future. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts primarily to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. We do not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes. The forward contracts outstanding as of June 28, 2019 range from one to thirteen months in maturity.

We also hedge the balance sheet exposures from our various foreign subsidiaries and business units. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize the short-term impact of currency fluctuations on assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries' functional currency or the U.S. Dollar.

The notional values of our sold and purchased foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of June 28, 2019 were $475.4 million and $93.4 million, respectively. The notional amounts of foreign currency forward contracts are not a measure of our exposure. The fair value of forward contracts generally reflects the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date, thereby taking into account and approximating the current unrealized and realized gains or losses of the open contracts. A move in foreign currency exchange rates would change the fair value of the contracts, and the fair value of the underlying exposures hedged by the contracts would change in a similar offsetting manner.

Interest Rate Risk

Our market risk exposure to changes in interest rates depends primarily on our investment portfolio and borrowings. Our investment portfolio primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments as of June 28, 2019. The principal amount of cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 2019 totaled $520.7 million with a weighted average interest rate of 0.74%. Cash and cash equivalents at June 28, 2019 includes $16.7 million of money market funds with a weighted average interest rate of 2.31%.

54

Our available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. At June 28, 2019, our available-for-sale securities, which include accrued interest are as follows:

(In millions, except for percentages)	Fair Value		Interest Rate
MPTC Series B-1 Bonds	$	26.6	7.5	%
MPTC Series B-2 Bonds	$	24.5	8.5	%
APTC securities	$	6.4	8.5	%

We are affected by market risk exposure primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on amounts payable under our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. At June 28, 2019, borrowings under the under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility totaled $400.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.40%. If the amount outstanding under our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility remained at this level for an entire year and interest rates increased or decreased by 1%, our annual interest expense would increase or decrease, respectively, by an additional $4.0 million. See a detailed discussion of our credit facilities in “MD&A - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

To date, we have not used derivative financial instruments to hedge the interest rate within our investment portfolio, borrowings, but may consider the use of derivative instruments in the future. In addition, although payments under certain of our operating leases for our facilities are tied to market indices, these operating leases do not expose us to material interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), as applicable, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that are discussed in Note 8, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which discussion is incorporated by reference into this item.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes during the period covered in this report to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2018, except as follows:

Tariffs or cross-border trade restrictions could increase the cost of our products.

On July 6, 2018, the Trump Administration imposed 25% tariffs on a variety of products, when imported from China, including Varian’s radiotherapy systems manufactured in China and certain components imported from China into the United States for our manufacturing and service activities. On August 23, 2018, the Administration imposed 25% tariffs on a second list of

55

products from China. On September 24, 2018, the Administration imposed 10% tariffs on a third list of products, and the tariffs in this third list were increased to 25% on May 10, 2019. We expect our imports into the United States to be impacted less by these two later tariff lists than by the initial tariff list.

China responded to the multiple U.S. tariff lists by announcing several lists of products from the United States that are subject to retaliatory tariffs upon import to China. On July 6, 2018, China imposed a first round of 25% retaliatory tariffs that did not impact our products. On August 23, 2018, China imposed 25% retaliatory tariffs on a second group of products, including our exports of U.S. manufactured radiotherapy systems to China. On September 24, 2018, China imposed retaliatory tariffs on a third group of products, including certain of our manufacturing inputs and service components - and these tariffs ranged from 5 to 10%. On June 1, 2019, China increased the tariff range of this third group to 10, 20 and 25 %, depending on the product. Any tariffs imposed by the United States and China that include Varian technology could increase the cost of our products and adversely impact the competitiveness of our products and/or our operational results in the future.

We participated in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (“USTR”) process to seek product-specific exclusions from the U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. On December 21, 2018, USTR announced its approval of our request to exclude certain radiotherapy systems manufactured in China, and this decision was later published on December 28, 2018. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, an additional approval of our request to exclude multi-leaf collimators was granted on July 9, 2019. These exclusions mean our imports of radiotherapy systems and multi-leaf collimators from China into the U.S. will not be subject to the China tariffs. On June 27, July 2, and July 4, 2019 respectively, Varian submitted formal requests to the Chinese government for exclusion from the retaliatory tariffs for manufacturing inputs, service parts, and radiotherapy systems imported into China from the United States. While we have been successful in our request to exclude radiotherapy systems there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining an exclusion for our additional requests to USTR relating to certain components imported from China nor is there an assurance that the Chinese government will provide reciprocal relief from the retaliatory tariffs.

The decision by British voters to exit the European Union may negatively impact our operations.

In June 2016, a majority of voters in the United Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union (often referred to as Brexit) in a national referendum. As of the date of this filing, the British Parliament has not agreed upon the terms of the withdrawal. On April 10, 2019, the leaders of the other member countries of the European Union agreed to extend the deadline for Brexit until October 31, 2019. The referendum and ongoing negotiations have created significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union.

If the U.K. leaves the European Union with no agreement, it will likely have an adverse impact on labor and trade and will create further short-term currency volatility. In the absence of a future trade deal, the U.K.’s trade with the European Union and the rest of the world would be subject to tariffs and duties set by the World Trade Organization, which could result in higher importation costs for our products. In addition, the movement of goods between the U.K. and the remaining member states of the European Union will be subject to additional inspections and documentation checks, leading to possible delays at ports of entry and departure. Moreover, currency volatility could drive a weaker pound which could result in a decrease in the profitability of our U.K. operations. Any adjustments we make to our business and operations as a result of Brexit could result in significant expense and take significant time to complete.

While we have not experienced any material financial impact from Brexit on our U.K. business to date, sales into the U.K. represented approximately 4% of our total revenues in fiscal year 2018 and we cannot predict its future implications. Any impact from Brexit on our business and operations over the long term will depend, in part, on the outcome of tariff, tax treaties, trade, regulatory, and other negotiations the U.K. conducts.

56

Implementing or acquiring new lines of business or offering new products and services may subject us to additional risks.

From time to time, we may implement or acquire new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. For example, we have recently completed acquisitions that expand our business into the healthcare provider space and interventional oncology space, and we are also expanding into treatment planning and service. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts. In developing, marketing, or acquiring new lines of business and/or offering new products and services, we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development or acquisition of new lines of business and/or the offering of new products or services may not be achieved, and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives, shifting market preferences and lack of experience or knowledge, may also impact the successful implementation or acquisition of a new line of business or the offering of a new product or service. Entry into a new line of business and/or offering a new product or service may also subject us to new laws and regulations with which we are not familiar and may lead to increased litigation and regulatory risk. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new product or service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. In addition, implementing or acquiring new lines of business or offering new products and services within existing lines of business can affect the sales and profitability of existing lines of business or products and services, including as a result of sales channel conflicts. Other risks include, without limitation: (i) potential diversion of management’s attention, available cash, and other resources from our existing businesses; (ii) unanticipated liabilities or contingencies; (iii) the need for additional capital and other resources to expand into or acquire this new line of business; (iv) potential damage to existing customer relationships or lack of customer acceptance or inability to attract new customers; and (v) the inability to compete effectively. These risks would be magnified to the extent that any new business line would result in a significant increase in operations in developing markets. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the implementation or acquisition of new lines of business or the offering of new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The results of studies and clinical trials are highly uncertain.

We have in the past conducted, and, in the future may continue to conduct, clinical trials related to prospective new therapies and technologies, including most recently in relation to ultra-high dose rate cancer treatments using our ProBeam platform. The results of preclinical studies and early clinical trials of product candidates or new therapies and technologies may not be predictive of the results of later-stage clinical trials, and favorable data from interim analyses do not ensure the final results of a trial will be favorable. Product candidates or new therapies and technologies may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy traits despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical trials, or despite having favorable data in connection with an interim analysis. A number of companies in our industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials due to lack of efficacy or adverse safety profiles, notwithstanding promising results in earlier trials. In addition, even if such clinical trials are successfully completed, we cannot guarantee that the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities will interpret the results as we do, and more trials could be required before we submit our product candidates, new therapies or technologies for approval. To the extent that the results of the trials are not satisfactory to the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities for support of a marketing application or desired reimbursement classification product codes, we may be required to expend significant resources, which may not be available to us, to conduct additional trials in support of potential approval of our product candidates, new therapies or technologies.

Changes to radiation oncology, reimbursements, and insurance deductibles and administration may affect demand for our products.

Sales of our healthcare products indirectly depend on whether adequate reimbursement is available to our customers from a variety of sources, such as government healthcare insurance programs, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs; private insurance plans; health maintenance organizations; and preferred provider organizations. In general, employers and third-party payors in the United States have become increasingly cost-conscious, with higher deductibles imposed or encouraged in many medical plans. The imposition of higher deductibles tends to inhibit individuals from seeking the same level of medical treatments as they might seek if the costs were lower. Third-party payors have also increased utilization controls related to the use of our products by healthcare providers.

There is no uniform policy on reimbursement among third-party payors, and we cannot be sure that third-party payors will reimburse our customers at a level that will enable us to achieve or maintain adequate sales and price levels for our products. Without adequate support from third-party payors, the market for our products may be limited.

Once Medicare makes a decision to provide reimbursement for a given treatment, these reimbursement rates are generally reviewed and adjusted by Medicare annually. Private third-party payors, although independent from Medicare, sometimes use portions of Medicare reimbursement policies and payment amounts in making their own reimbursement decisions. As a result, decisions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") to reimburse for a treatment, or changes to Medicare’s

57

reimbursement policies or reductions in payment amounts may extend to third-party payor reimbursement policies and amounts for that treatment. We have seen our customers’ decision-making process complicated by the uncertainty surrounding Medicare reimbursement rates and coverage for modalities and indications for radiotherapy and radiosurgery in the United States. From time to time, CMS and third-party payors may review and modify the factors upon which they rely to determine appropriate levels of reimbursement and coverage of procedures for cancer treatments. For example, CMS and third-party payors have begun to focus on the comparative effectiveness of radiation therapy versus other methods of cancer treatment, including surgery, and could modify reimbursement rates based on the results of comparative effectiveness studies. In addition, in July 2019 CMS announced a proposed alternative payment model (or “APM”) pilot program for radiation oncology intended to test an episodic payment structure across a cohort of U.S. hospitals and freestanding cancer centers. The timing and details of such a payment model are uncertain. Any significant cuts in reimbursement rates or changes in reimbursement methodology or administration for radiotherapy, radiosurgery, proton therapy or brachytherapy, or concerns or proposals regarding further cuts or changes in methodology or administration, could further increase uncertainty, influence our customers’ decisions, reduce demand for our products, cause customers to cancel orders and have a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial position and stock price.

The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“MACRA”) became effective on January 1, 2017, which made numerous changes to Medicare, Medicaid, and other healthcare related programs. These changes include new systems for establishing the annual updates to payment rates for physicians’ services in Medicare. As this new payment system continues to be implemented and revised annually, our business may be significantly affected by any changes in reimbursement policies and other initiatives aimed at or having the effect of reducing healthcare costs associated with Medicare and other government healthcare programs.

Foreign governments also have their own healthcare reimbursement systems and there can be no assurance that adequate reimbursement will be made available with respect to our products under any foreign reimbursement system.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements herein include adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, results of operations and statements of comprehensive earnings for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, and statements of equity for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the amounts in the prior year in order to conform to the current year's presentation.

Fiscal Year

The fiscal years of the Company as reported are the 52- or 53-week periods ending on the Friday nearest September 30. Fiscal year 2019 is the 52-week period ending September 27, 2019. Fiscal year 2018 was the 52-week period that ended on September 28, 2018. The fiscal quarters ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, were both 13-week periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include those of VMS and its wholly-owned and majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions and stock holdings have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial

statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies provided in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company's 2018 Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted this amendment prospectively, and it did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on the accounting related to defined benefit plans and other post-retirement benefits. This amendment requires the service cost component of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost to be presented in the same line item as other employee compensation costs, while the other components must be presented separately as other income, net. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flow. The amendment requires entities to include restricted cash in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively, and prior period amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been recast to conform with the current period presentation as shown in the reconciliation provided below. See Note 3, "Other Financial Information," for a reconciliation of the cash balances within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Nine Months Ended June 29, 2018
(In millions)	As Previously Reported			Adjustments		As Adjusted
Cash used in investing activities	$	(109.9	)	$	6.8	$	(103.1	)
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	716.2		$	2.3	$	718.5
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period	$	536.0		$	9.1	$	545.1

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance for tax accounting for intra-entity asset transfers. The amendment removes the prohibition against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 10, "Income Taxes," for more information about the impact of the adoption.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The amendment was issued to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the changes is the requirement for changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments to be recognized through net earnings rather than other comprehensive income. Under the amendment, equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are eligible for the measurement alternative, which will require the Company to measure these investments at cost, with adjustments for changes in price or impairments reflected through net earnings. The Company adopted the amendment prospectively for its privately-held investments for which the measurement alternative was elected, and adopted the amendment on a modified retrospective basis for all other financial instruments. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

In November 2018, the FASB amended its guidance to clarify revenue accounting for collaborative arrangements. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and will be applied retrospectively to the date of the initial application of ASC 606. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB amended its guidance which will add the Overnight Index Swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended its guidance for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This new standard also requires customers to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. This new standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. This new standard can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which changed the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding and modifying certain disclosures. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB amended its guidance that will allow companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to its accounting guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments. The amendment adds a new impairment model that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard on accounting for leases. The new standard is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new standard will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of earnings. The Company intends to adopt this standard beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2020, using a modified retrospective method and anticipates applying the optional practical expedients related to the transition. While the Company continues to assess the impact of this standard, the Company anticipates a material impact related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and liabilities for previously unrecognized leases on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, including disclosures. The Company's preliminary assessments are subject to change.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business Combinations in Fiscal Year 2019

Cancer Treatment Services International

In June 2019, the Company acquired Cancer Treatment Services International ("CTSI"), a privately-held company that provides cancer care professional services to health care providers worldwide and, through its oncology care brand, American Oncology Institute, focuses on the operation of comprehensive cancer treatment facilities in international markets. CTSI operates AmPath, a full-service reference laboratory and pathology provider, and CTSI Oncology Solutions, an oncology services company that provides solutions such as remote treatment planning services and multi-disciplinary oncology consulting. This acquisition will increase the Company's expertise in cancer center operations.

The Company acquired CTSI for a purchase price of $279.3 million, consisting of $262.8 million of cash consideration, $8.2 million of contingent consideration, and $8.3 million of other consideration. The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration payments is zero to $58 million and is based on actual revenues over the 18 months following the acquisition date. The acquisition was financed with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings. The Company has included this acquisition in its Oncology Systems business. The purchase accounting from this transaction is not yet finalized; however, the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Endocare and Alicon

In June 2019, the Company acquired Austin, Texas-based Endocare and Hangzhou, China-based, Alicon, to expand its portfolio of multidisciplinary integrated cancer solutions. Endocare is a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for cryoablation, and has a microwave ablation product line; and Alicon is a leader in embolic therapy for treating liver cancer in China. These acquisitions enable the Company to develop innovations in interventional oncology and allow it to provide patients and customers with a wider range of cancer care solutions.

The Company acquired Endocare and Alicon for a combined purchase price of $209.4 million consisting of $196.8 million of cash consideration and $12.6 million of contingent consideration. The undiscounted range of the contingent consideration payments is zero to $40 million and is based on actual revenues through March 2020. The acquisitions were financed with a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from borrowings. These acquisitions comprise the Company's Interventional Oncology business, which is reflected in the "Other" category because the operating segment does not meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment. The purchase accounting from this transaction is not yet finalized; however, the goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The results of operations and the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the CTSI, Endocare and Alicon acquisitions:

(In millions)	CTSI			Endocare and Alicon
Assets acquired (1)	$	54.0		$	32.9
Liabilities assumed (2)	(65.0		)	(17.7		)
Goodwill	182.1			122.7
Intangible assets	117.0			71.5
Fair value of net assets	288.1			209.4
Less: Non-controlling interest (3)	8.8			—
Total purchase consideration	$	279.3		$	209.4

⁽¹⁾ Includes $5.4 million and $11.5 million of cash and cash equivalents for CTSI and Endocare / Alicon, respectively.

⁽²⁾ Includes $33.9 million and $14.8 million of deferred tax liabilities for CTSI and Endocare / Alicon, respectively.

⁽³⁾ The Company's non-controlling interest is a joint venture that was determined to be a variable interest entity. The Company has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture because it has the ability to control the significant activities of the joint venture, has the right to significant residual returns and is exposed to significant expected losses. The Company will consolidate the joint venture into its operations.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The following table provides the valuation of the intangible assets acquired from CTSI, Endocare and Alicon, along with their estimated useful lives:

(Dollars in millions)	CTSI			Endocare and Alicon
Type	Fair Value		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (In Years)	Fair Value		Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (In Years)
Technologies and trade names	$	47.9	10.7	$	56.3	7.7
Customer contracts, supplier relationships, and partner relationships (1)	69.1		26.4	4.8		3.0
Total intangible assets with finite lives	117.0			61.1
In-process research and development with indefinite lives	—			10.4
Total intangible assets	$	117.0		$	71.5

⁽¹⁾  CTSI has certain partner relationships with hospitals with useful lives that range from approximately 27 to 29 years.

Other Acquisitions

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company purchased a privately-held company for a cash purchase price of $15.2 million, including a holdback of $3.6 million and contingent consideration. As of the closing date, the value of the contingent consideration is zero because none of the milestones were probable to be achieved. However, the Company could potentially pay up to approximately $9 million by 2023 if certain milestones were met plus additional payments for achieving revenue targets through 2035. The acquisition was classified as an asset acquisition, and the purchase consideration was allocated primarily to the intellectual property that covers the use of radiation in the heart and other forms of radiosurgery for cardiovascular disease, resulting in a $20.8 million of in-process research and development ("in-process R&D") expense because of no future alternative use, and was recorded in acquisition-related expenses and in-process R&D in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company acquired a privately-held software company for a purchase price of $28.5 million. The acquisition primarily consisted of $22.0 million in goodwill and $6.5 million in finite-lived intangible assets. The Company has integrated this acquisition into its Oncology Systems reporting unit. The goodwill for this acquisition is not deductible for income tax.

Measurement Period Adjustments

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $9.6 million to the fair value of the purchase consideration of a business combination that occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adjustment primarily included a $11.9 million decrease in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability mostly offset by a decrease to the finite-lived intangible assets of $5.4 million, and a decrease of $4.7 million to goodwill.

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment of $2.6 million to the fair value of the purchase consideration of a business combination that occurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The adjustment consisted of an additional cash payment to sellers and a corresponding increase to goodwill.

Other Information

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount. The Company believes the factors that contributed to goodwill in its completed acquisitions include synergies not available to market participants, as well as the acquisition of a talented workforce.

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been determined on a preliminary basis, and the Company will finalize these amounts as it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the date of a business combination may result in certain adjustments. The Company expects to finalize these amounts no later than one year from the date of each business combination.

Management applied significant judgment in determining the fair value of intangible assets, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the revenue growth rates, the economic lives, and the discount rates. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been estimated based on the likelihood of the performance metrics being achieved.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results from the date the business was acquired. The impact of the completed business combinations to the periods presented was not material. Pro forma results of operations for the completed business combination have not been presented because the effects were not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company incurred acquisition-related expenses of $10.4 million and $12.7 million during the three months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and $15.0 million and $33.9 million during the nine months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively.

⁽¹⁾  Included in other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

⁽²⁾  Included in prepaid and other current assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because the Company had the ability and intent to sell this security in the next twelve months.

The Company classifies its money market funds as Level 1 because they have daily liquidity, quoted prices for the underlying investments can be obtained, and there are active markets for the underlying investments. The Company's Level 2 available-for-sale securities consist of bonds for the Maryland Proton Therapy Center ("MPTC"), Alabama Proton Therapy Center (“APTC”), and Georgia Proton Treatment Center ("GPTC"). The observable inputs for these securities are comparable bond issues, broker/dealer quotations for the same or similar investments in active markets, and other observable inputs such as yields, credit risks, default rates, and volatility. As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the carrying amount of the Company's Level 1 money market funds and Level 2 available-for-sale securities approximated their respective fair values. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for further information about the available-for-sale securities.

The Company has elected to use the income approach to value its derivative instruments using standard valuation techniques and Level 2 inputs, such as currency spot rates, forward points and credit default swap spreads. The Company’s derivative instruments are generally short-term in nature, typically one month to thirteen months in duration.

The Company generally measures the fair value of its Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities based on option pricing models through Black-Scholes or Monte Carlo models with key assumptions that include estimated revenues of the acquired business, the probability of completing certain milestone targets during the earn-out period, volatility, and estimated discount rates corresponding to the periods of expected payments. If the estimated revenues or probability of completing certain milestones were to increase or decrease during the respective earn-out period, the fair value of the contingent consideration would increase or decrease, respectively. If the estimated discount rates were to increase or decrease, the fair value of contingent consideration would decrease or increase, respectively. Changes in volatility may result in an increase or decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration. The Company's contingent consideration is from its business combinations and is included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table presents the reconciliation for all assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

(In millions)	Contingent Consideration
Balance at September 28, 2018	$	(24.4	)
Business combinations	(26.2		)
Measurement period adjustment to a business combination in prior year	11.9
Settlements	0.5
Balance at June 28, 2019	$	(38.2	)

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value measurement levels during either the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, or the three and nine months ended June 29, 2018. Transfers between fair value measurement levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

The fair values of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including bank deposits included in cash equivalents, trade and unbilled receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, revolving loan to California Proton Therapy Center ("CPTC"), Rinecker Proton Therapy Center ("RPTC") senior secured debt, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximate their carrying amounts due to their short maturities.

As of June 28, 2019, the fair value of the Term Loan with CPTC approximated its carrying value of $44.0 million. The carrying value is based on the present value of expected future cash payments discounted at a rate reflecting the nature and duration of the loans, risks involved with CPTC, and its industry. As a result, the Term Loan is categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for further information.

The Company's equity investments in privately-held companies were $61.2 million and $37.2 million at June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively. Equity investments without readily determinable fair value are measured at cost and will be adjusted through net earnings when they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes. At June 28, 2019, the Company increased the fair value for an equity investment in a privately-held company by $2.0 million due to observable price changes for equity investments without readily determinable fair value.

The fair value of the outstanding long-term notes receivable, including accrued interest, approximated their carrying value of $32.6 million and $29.7 million at June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively, because they are based on terms of recent comparable transactions and are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is based on the income approach by using the discounted cash flow model with key assumptions that include discount rates corresponding to the terms and risks as well as underlying cash flow assumptions. See Note 14, "Proton Solutions Loans and Investments," for information on the long-term notes receivable.

See Note 2, "Business Combinations," for more information on the business combinations and measurement period adjustments to business combination in prior year.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $50.5 million for the full value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit goodwill. The impairment resulted from a downward revision of the forecasted future cash flows. Factors in the third quarter that contributed to the revised forecast include observed continued weakness in proton therapy markets and lower than expected results as compared to prior forecasts. These events decreased the forecasted cash flows and the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit below its carrying value as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.

To determine the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit, the Company used the income approach. Under the income approach, the fair value of the Proton Solutions reporting unit was based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows that the reporting unit is expected to generate over its remaining life. Cash flow projections were based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used was based on the weighted-average cost of capital appropriate for the Proton Solutions reporting unit.

The Company also assessed whether the carrying amounts of the Proton Solutions reporting unit’s long-lived assets may not be recoverable and therefore impaired. To assess the recoverability of the reporting unit’s long-lived assets, the undiscounted cash flows of the reporting unit were analyzed and compared to the carrying value. The sum of the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the asset group, therefore, no impairment was indicated.

The following table reflects the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of the Company's intangible assets: 

	June 28, 2019							September 28, 2018

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company measures all derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of those derivatives depends upon the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.

The fair value of derivative instruments reported on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows:

		June 28, 2019
(In millions)	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign exchange forward contracts	Accrued liabilities	$	(0.3	)
Total derivatives		$	(0.3	)

As of September 28, 2018, the Company did not have any outstanding derivatives designated as hedging instruments. As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the fair value of the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were not material.

Cash Flow Hedging Activities

The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted revenues and designated as cash flow hedges:

	June 28, 2019
(In millions)	Notional Value Sold
Euro	$	25.5

As of September 28, 2018, the Company did not have any outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges.

The following table presents the amounts, before tax, recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

	Loss Recognized in Other Comprehensive Earnings (Loss)

Balance Sheet Hedging Activities

The Company also hedges balance sheet exposures from its various subsidiaries and business units where the U.S. Dollar is the functional currency. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, changes in their fair values are recognized in other income, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Changes in the values of these hedging instruments are offset by changes in the values of foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. At June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the fair value of the Company's derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was not material.

The Company had the following outstanding foreign currency forward contracts relating to balance sheet hedging activities:

Lease Commitments

At June 28, 2019, the Company's lease commitments for minimum rentals under non-cancelable operating leases increased by $10.8 million due to leases assumed from the CTSI, Endocare and Alicon acquisitions. The operating lease terms range from 2019 to 2038.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company leases some of its equipment to certain customers on operating leases generally over a period of 15 years. As of June 28, 2019, the Company had $22.5 million and $4.6 million included in property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, related to equipment leased to customers. As of September 28, 2018, the Company had $19.2 million and $1.3 million included in property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation, respectively, related to equipment leased to customers. The Company recorded income of $2.3 million and $6.5 million during the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, respectively, on these equipment leases.

Contingencies

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

The Company’s operations and facilities, past and present, are subject to environmental laws, including laws that regulate the handling, storage, transport and disposal of hazardous substances. Certain of those laws impose cleanup liabilities on the Company in connection with its past and present operations. Those include facilities sold as part of the Company’s electron devices business in 1995 and thin film systems business in 1997. As a result, the Company oversees various environmental cleanup projects and receives reimbursements from third parties for a portion of the costs of its cleanup activities.

As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the Company had accrued $5.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, net of third parties' indemnification obligations, for environmental remediation liabilities. The Company believes its reserve is adequate; however, as the scope of the Company’s obligations becomes more clearly defined, the Company may modify the reserve, and charge or credit future earnings accordingly. Based on information currently known to management, management believes the costs of these environmental-related matters are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company in any one fiscal year.

The Company also reimburses certain third parties for cleanup activities. The amount the Company spent on environmental cleanup costs, third-party claim costs, project management costs and legal costs in the three and nine months June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, was not material.

Other Matters

On October 16, 2018, Best Medical International, Inc. sued the Company in U.S. District Court in the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of four patents related to treatment planning. The Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. This lawsuit is in the initial stages, and at this time, the Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter or estimate a range of possible exposure. Therefore, no amounts have been accrued.

From time to time, the Company is a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings, claims and government inspections or investigations and other legal matters, both inside and outside the United States, arising in the ordinary course of its business or otherwise. The Company accrues amounts, to the extent they can be reasonably estimated, that it believes are adequate to address any liabilities related to legal proceedings and other loss contingencies that the Company believes will result in a probable loss (including, among other things, probable settlement value). A loss or a range of loss is disclosed when it is reasonably possible that a material loss will be incurred and can be estimated or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss, when material, will exceed the recorded provision. 

In addition to the above, the Company is involved in other legal matters. However, such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. The Company is unable to estimate a loss or a range of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters. There can be no assurances as to whether the Company will become subject to significant additional claims and liabilities with respect to ongoing or future proceedings. If actual liabilities significantly exceed the estimates made, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Legal expenses relating to legal matters are expensed as incurred.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 50.9% and 21.2% for the three months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively, and 28.5% and 89.2% for the nine months ended June 28, 2019 and June 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, is primarily

because the current period includes a goodwill impairment charge and an in-process research and development expense, neither of which generate a tax benefit for the Company. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, compared to the year-ago period, was primarily because the prior period included the tax effect of a change in law due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act"), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The current periods also include the impact of several provisions of the Act that take effect for the Company for the first time in the fiscal year ending September 27, 2019, including a new minimum tax on certain foreign earnings (the Global Intangible Low-taxed Income, or "GILTI"), a new tax on certain payments to foreign related parties (the Base Erosion and Anti-avoidance Tax), a new incentive for foreign-derived intangible income, changes to the limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, and new limitations on the deductibility of interest expense. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost rather than on a deferred basis. The current periods also reflects the fact that, as the Company has a September fiscal year end, the lower 21% federal rate is now fully phased in; that is, it is applicable to our domestic earnings for the full fiscal year ending September 27, 2019.

As part of the transition to a modified territorial system, the Act imposed a one-time transition tax on the unremitted earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries. The Company recorded a discrete tax expense related to the one-time transition tax of $2.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and of $6.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, resulting in the cumulative amount of $173.3 million. The Company has elected to pay this tax over the eight-year period allowed for in the Act.

On December 22, 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. This guidance allowed registrants a “measurement period,” to complete their accounting for the tax effects of the Act. The Company relied on this guidance to refine its estimates of the impact of the Act during the measurement period. The measurement period ended during the Company's period ended December 28, 2018. As a result, the Company considered its accounting for the tax effects of the Act to be complete at that time based on its interpretation of the law and subsequent guidance that had been issued to that point. Subsequently, it was necessary to adjust the Company's calculation of the tax as a result of further guidance and its impact on the Company's interpretation of the rules. It is expected that the U.S. Treasury will continue to issue regulations and other guidance on the application of certain provisions of the Act that may impact the Company's interpretation of the rules and our calculation of the tax impact of the transition tax or other provisions of the Act.

The Company adopted the FASB guidance related to intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. This standard changes the treatment of the tax effect of transfers of property other than inventory among the entities within a registrant's consolidated group. Under the prior standard, the tax effect related to the transfer of property other than inventory from one member of the group to another was recorded to prepaid income taxes, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the new standard, the tax effect related to the transfer of property other than inventory from one member of the group to another is recorded as a discrete item to taxes on earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company recorded a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $0.2 million as of September 29, 2018, as a result of adopting the new standard. The Company expects that the new standard may cause its effective tax rate to be more volatile and less predictable going forward.

The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because the Company’s foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are, on average, lower than the U.S. federal rate, and because the Company’s domestic earnings are subject to state income taxes. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change during the nine months ended June 28, 2019; however, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits has increased as a result of positions taken during the current and prior years and has decreased as the result of the expiration of the statutes of limitation in various jurisdictions.

Alabama Proton Therapy Center ("APTC") Securities

In December 2017, the Company purchased $6.0 million in Subordinate Revenue Bonds, which financed the APTC. The Subordinate Revenue Bonds carry an interest rate of 8.5% and pay interest semi-annually. The Company is scheduled to start receiving annual principal payments on the Subordinate Revenue Bonds beginning on November 1, 2022. The Subordinate Revenue Bonds will mature on October 1, 2047.

Rinecker Proton Therapy Center ("RPTC") Senior Secured Debt

In July 2017, the Company purchased the outstanding senior secured debt related to the RPTC in Munich, Germany for 21.5 million Euros or $24.5 million. By purchasing the senior secured debt, the Company has a right to approximately 77 million Euros in claims against all of RPTC's assets. In September 2017, the management of RPTC filed for bankruptcy in Germany. In January 2018, the final insolvency proceedings commenced, and upon finalization of bankruptcy proceedings, the Company believes it is probable it will recover the outstanding senior secured debt balance and trade accounts receivable, net.

At both June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, the Company had $4.5 million in trade receivables, net, from RPTC, which does not include any unbilled receivables.

Georgia Proton Treatment Center ("GPTC") Security

In July 2017 and July 2018, the Company purchased a total of $16.1 million in Senior Capital Appreciation Bonds ("Senior Bonds"), which financed the GPTC. In September 2018 and June 2019, the Company sold all of its Senior Bonds for a total of $16.8 million, which included payment of accrued interest.

New York Proton Center ("NYPC") Loan

In July 2015, the Company committed to loan up to $91.5 million to MM Proton I, LLC. In June 2016, the Company assigned $73.0 million of this loan to Deutsche Bank AG. The remaining balance is comprised of an $18.5 million “Subordinate Loan” with a six-and-a-half-year term at up to 13.5% interest. As of June 28, 2019, the Subordinate Loan is $30.8 million, including accrued interest. The principal balance and accrued interest on the Subordinate Loan are due in full at maturity in January 2022.

In addition to the outstanding loan, the Company had $25.2 million and $24.1 million, in trade and unbilled receivables, as of June 28, 2019 and September 28, 2018, respectively, which included $12.6 million and $24.1 million in unbilled receivables, respectively, from NYPC.

Maryland Proton Treatment Center ("MPTC") Securities

In August 2018, MPTC refinanced its then outstanding subordinated debt, including accrued interest, and notes receivable balances. As part of the refinancing, in exchange for its then outstanding subordinated loan, the Company received $22.9 million in Subordinate Revenue Bonds ("MPTC Series B-2 Bonds") that carry an interest rate of 8.5% per annum with interest accruing up to the MPTC Series B-2 Bonds face amount of $33.9 million until January 1, 2022 and then will pay cash interest semi-annually. The MPTC Series B-2 Bonds will mature on January 1, 2049. In exchange for its outstanding notes receivable, the Company also received $6.0 million in cash and $25.0 million in Subordinate Revenue Bonds ("MPTC Series B-1 Bonds") that carry an interest rate of 7.5% with interest accruing up to the MPTC Series B-1 Bonds face amount of $32.0 million on January 1, 2022 and then will pay cash interest semi-annually. The MPTC Series B-1 Bonds will mature on January 1, 2048. The MPTC Series B-1 Bonds are senior in right and time to the MPTC Series B-2 Bonds.

At June 28, 2019, the Company had zero net trade and unbilled receivables from MPTC. At September 28, 2018, the Company had $0.5 million in trade receivables, net, from MPTC.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has determined that MM Proton I, LLC and RPTC are variable interest entities and that the Company holds a significant variable interest of each of the entities through its participation in the loan facilities and its agreements to supply and service the proton therapy equipment. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of these entities. The Company has no voting rights, has no approval authority or veto rights for these centers' budget, and does not have the power to direct patient recruitment, clinical operations and management of these Centers, which the Company believes are the matters that most significantly affect their economic performance. The Company’s exposure to loss as a result of its

involvement with MM Proton I, LLC and RPTC is limited to the carrying amounts of the above-mentioned assets on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

California Proton Therapy Center ("CPTC") Loans and Investment

Between September 2011 and November 2015, the Company, ORIX and J.P. Morgan (the "Lenders”) funded loans (“Original CPTC Loans”) to the Scripps Proton Therapy Center in San Diego, California. ORIX is the loan agent.

In March 2017, California Proton Treatment Center, LLC ("Original CPTC") filed for bankruptcy and concurrently entered into a Debtor-in-Possession facility (the "DIP Facility") with the Lenders where the Company's pro-rata share of the DIP Facility was $7.3 million. In September 2017, the Lenders and Scripps signed a Transition Agreement to transition the operations of the center from Scripps to Proton Doctors Professional Corporation. As a result of these events, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $51.4 million to its Original CPTC Loans in fiscal year 2017.

Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the California Proton Treatment Center ("Original CPTC") conducted an auction of the Scripps Proton Therapy Center. On December 6, 2017 (“Closing Date”), the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of Scripps Proton Therapy Center to California Proton Therapy Center, LLC (“CPTC”), an entity owned by the Lenders. The Lenders purchased all assets and assumed $112.0 million of Original CPTC’s outstanding liabilities. On December 13, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed the bankruptcy filing of Original CPTC.

On the Closing Date, the Lenders entered into a Credit Agreement with Original CPTC of which the terms of the Original CPTC Loans, DIP Facility and accrued interest (collectively “Former Loans”) have been modified. In addition to the partially satisfied Original CPTC Loans reinstated by the Bankruptcy Court, the Company received a 47.08% equity ownership in CPTC. Original CPTC has assigned all its Former Loans to CPTC at an amount of $112.0 million, the partially satisfied loan balance. Per the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company's portion of the $112.0 million is $53.5 million; the remainder is allocated between ORIX and J.P. Morgan. The $53.5 million is composed of four tranches: Tranche A of $2.0 million, Tranche B of $7.2 million, Tranche C of $15.6 million, and Tranche D of $28.7 million (collectively the "Term Loan"). The maturity date of the Term Loan is three years from the Closing Date. The Term Loan is secured by the assets of CPTC.

In addition, the Lenders have committed to lend up to $15.0 million in a Revolving Loan with a maturity date of one year from the Closing Date. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, as provided in the initial agreement, the Lenders granted a one year extension to the term of the Revolving Loan. The Company's share of the funding commitment from the Revolving Loan is $7.2 million, and as of June 28, 2019, the Company has funded $5.1 million.

All of the tranches accrue paid-in-kind interest at 7.5% per annum, except the Tranche B and the Revolving Loan, which accrue paid-in-kind interest at 10% per annum. The seniority of these loans is as follows: Revolving Loan, Tranche A, Tranche B, Tranche C and Tranche D. If CPTC is in default, the interest rate of the Tranche A, C and D will increase to 9.5% and the interest rate on the Tranche B and the Revolving Loan will increase to 12.0%.

Considering Original CPTC’s financial difficulties, the modification of the original terms of the Former Loans, and the Lenders agreement to grant a concession on the Original CPTC Loans, the Company classified the transaction above as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company does not have any unamortized fees from the Former Loans and any prepayment penalties.

The Company, using a discounted cash flow approach, determined that the fair value of CPTC's equity as of Closing Date was $20.1 million. The Company's 47.08% ownership percentage amounts to a $9.5 million equity interest in CPTC. Since the common stock received was in addition to a loan receivable partially satisfied through the bankruptcy proceedings, in accordance with the TDR accounting guidance, the Company recorded the equity interest at fair value and as an offset to the reinstated loan balance. The equity investment in CPTC was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the Company accounted for its equity method share of the income or loss of CPTC on a quarter lag basis. In March 2019, the Company sold its equity interest, with a carrying value of zero, in CPTC for a nominal amount. Therefore, beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company no longer records losses related to the CPTC equity investment.

As of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, the Company had recorded $2.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in trade receivables, net, from CPTC.

Further, the Company has determined that CPTC is a variable interest entity because of the Company's participation in the loan facilities, and its operations and maintenance agreement. The Company has no special approval authority or veto rights for

CPTC’s budget, and does not have the power to direct patient recruitment, clinical operations and management of CPTC, which the Company believes are the matters that most significantly affect their economic performance. Therefore, the Company does not have majority voting rights and no power to direct activities at CPTC, and as a result it is not the primary beneficiary of CPTC.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has two reportable operating segments: Oncology Systems and Proton Solutions. The Company's Interventional Oncology business is reflected in the "Other" category because it does not meet the criteria for a reportable operating segment. The operating segments were determined based on how the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), views and evaluates the Company’s operations. The CODM allocates resources to and evaluates the financial performance of each operating segment primarily based on operating earnings.

Description of Segments

The Oncology Systems segment designs, manufactures, sells and services hardware and software products for treating cancer with conventional radiation therapy, and advanced treatments such as fixed field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (“IMRT”), image-guided radiation therapy (“IGRT”), volumetric modulated arc therapy ("VMAT"), stereotactic radiosurgery (“SRS”), stereotactic body radiotherapy (“SBRT”) and brachytherapy as well as associated quality assurance equipment. Products include linear accelerators, brachytherapy afterloaders, treatment accessories, and quality assurance software, information management, treatment planning and image processing, clinical knowledge exchange, patient care management, decision-making support and practice management software. Oncology Systems’ products enable radiation oncology departments in hospitals and clinics to perform conventional radiotherapy treatments and offer advanced treatments such as IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, SRS and SBRT, as well as to treat patients using brachytherapy techniques, which involve temporarily implanting radioactive sources. The Company’s Oncology Systems products are also used by surgeons and radiation oncologists to perform stereotactic radiosurgery and by medical oncology departments to manage chemotherapy treatments. Oncology Systems’ customers worldwide include university research and community hospitals, private and governmental institutions, healthcare agencies, physicians’ offices and cancer care clinics.

In addition to providing the products and services for oncology care described above, the Company offers treatment planning as a service and quality assurance as a service, which allows remote support and delivery of care in understaffed locations to utilize technology on a per patient basis. Further, the Company operates 11 healthcare facilities in India; comprised of one specialty hospital and ten cancer centers.

The Proton Solutions segment develops, designs, manufactures, sells and services products and systems for delivering proton therapy, a form of external beam radiotherapy using proton beams for the treatment of cancer.

The Other category includes the Interventional Oncology business, which offers products for minimally invasive interventional oncology procedures and treatments, including cryoablation, microwave ablation and embolic beads.

The following information is provided for the purpose of achieving an understanding of operations but may not be indicative of the financial results of the reported segments were they independent organizations. In addition, comparisons of the Company’s operations to similar operations of other companies may not be meaningful.

The Company allocates corporate costs to its operating segments based on the relative revenues of Oncology Systems, Proton Solutions and Interventional Oncology. The Company allocates these costs excluding certain corporate related costs, transactions or adjustments that the Company's CODM considers to be non-operational, such as restructuring and impairment charges, significant litigation charges or benefits and legal costs, and acquisition-related expenses. Although the Company excludes these amounts from segment operating earnings, they are included in the condensed consolidated operating earnings and included in the reconciliation below.

The following table summarizes select financial results for each reportable segment:

These condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements herein include adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 28, 2019, and September 28, 2018, results of operations and statements of comprehensive earnings for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, statements of cash flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018, and statements of equity for the three and nine months ended June 28, 2019, and June 29, 2018. The results of operations for the nine months ended June 28, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include those of VMS and its wholly-owned and majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances, transactions and stock holdings have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial

statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The Company adopted this amendment prospectively, and it did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on the accounting related to defined benefit plans and other post-retirement benefits. This amendment requires the service cost component of net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit cost to be presented in the same line item as other employee compensation costs, while the other components must be presented separately as other income, net. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flow. The amendment requires entities to include restricted cash in cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively, and prior period amounts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been recast to conform with the current period presentation as shown in the reconciliation provided below. See Note 3, "Other Financial Information," for a reconciliation of the cash balances within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Nine Months Ended June 29, 2018
(In millions)	As Previously Reported			Adjustments		As Adjusted
Cash used in investing activities	$	(109.9	)	$	6.8	$	(103.1	)
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	716.2		$	2.3	$	718.5
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at end of period	$	536.0		$	9.1	$	545.1

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance for tax accounting for intra-entity asset transfers. The amendment removes the prohibition against the immediate recognition of the current and deferred income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 10, "Income Taxes," for more information about the impact of the adoption.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The amendment was issued to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the amendment retrospectively, and it did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance related to recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the changes is the requirement for changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments to be recognized through net earnings rather than other comprehensive income. Under the amendment, equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are eligible for the measurement alternative, which will require the Company to measure these investments at cost, with adjustments for changes in price or impairments reflected through net earnings. The Company adopted the amendment prospectively for its privately-held investments for which the measurement alternative was elected, and adopted the amendment on a modified retrospective basis for all other financial instruments. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

In November 2018, the FASB amended its guidance to clarify revenue accounting for collaborative arrangements. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and will be applied retrospectively to the date of the initial application of ASC 606. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB amended its guidance which will add the Overnight Index Swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB amended its guidance for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This new standard also requires customers to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. This new standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. This new standard can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post-retirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance which changed the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding and modifying certain disclosures. The standard is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB amended its guidance that will allow companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued an amendment to its accounting guidance related to the impairment of financial instruments. The amendment adds a new impairment model that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses. The amendment will be effective for the Company beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2021 with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this amendment to its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard on accounting for leases. The new standard is intended to provide enhanced transparency and comparability by requiring lessees to record right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The new standard will continue to classify leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of earnings. The Company intends to adopt this standard beginning in its first quarter of fiscal year 2020, using a modified retrospective method and anticipates applying the optional practical expedients related to the transition. While the Company continues to assess the impact of this standard, the Company anticipates a material impact related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and liabilities for previously unrecognized leases on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the effect the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements, including disclosures. The Company's preliminary assessments are subject to change.
