Business Combinations

Cynosure, Inc.

On March 22, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Cynosure and acquired all of the outstanding shares of Cynosure. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, each share of common stock of Cynosure outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the acquisition was canceled and converted into the right to receive $66.00 in cash, except for 1.2 million shares the holder of which demanded appraisal rights (the "dissenting shares"). In addition, all outstanding restricted stock units, performance stock units, and stock options were canceled and converted into the right to receive $66.00 per share in cash less the applicable exercise price, as applicable. The acquisition was funded through available cash, and the total purchase price was $1.66 billion. The Company incurred $18.8 million of direct transaction costs recorded within general and administrative expenses.

Cynosure, headquartered in Westford, Massachusetts, develops, manufactures, and markets aesthetic treatment systems that enable plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other medical practitioners to perform non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures to remove hair, treat vascular and benign pigmented lesions, remove multi-colored tattoos, revitalize the skin, reduce fat through laser lipolysis, reduce cellulite, clear nails infected by toe fungus, ablate sweat glands and improve women’s health. Cynosure also markets radiofrequency (RF) energy-sourced medical devices for precision surgical applications such as facial plastic and general surgery, gynecology, ear, nose, and throat procedures, ophthalmology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, podiatry and proctology. Cynosure's results of operations are reported in the Company's Medical Aesthetics reportable segment from the date of acquisition and the goodwill within this reportable segment is solely related to Cynosure.

The total purchase price was allocated to Cynosure’s preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values of those assets as of March 22, 2017, as set forth below. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows:



Cash	$	107.2
Marketable securities	82.9
Accounts receivable	40.2
Inventory	121.1
Property, plant and equipment	44.1
Other assets and liabilities, net	12.2
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(75.3		)
Deferred revenue	(11.2		)
Capital lease obligation	(25.2		)
Identifiable intangible assets:
Developed technology	736.0
In-process research and development	107.0
Distribution agreement	42.0
Customer relationships	35.0
Trade names	74.0
Deferred income taxes, net	(315.7		)
Goodwill	683.5
Purchase Price	$	1,657.8

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Cynosure’s business. The Company has not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, primarily taxes, to finalize the purchase price allocation.

As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the Company has determined the identifiable intangible assets are developed technology, in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), a distribution agreement, customer relationships, and trade names. The preliminary fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach, and the cash flow projections were discounted using rates ranging from 11% to 12%, except for the IPR&D assets in which the Company used a range of 14% to 22%. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital.

The developed technology assets are comprised of know-how, patents and technologies embedded in Cynosure's products and relate to currently marketed products. The developed technology assets comprise the significant product families of Cynosure, primarily SculpSure, Icon, and PicoSure.

IPR&D projects relate to in-process projects that have not reached technological feasibility as of the acquisition date and have no alternative future use. The primary basis for determining technological feasibility of these projects is obtaining regulatory approval to market the underlying product or expected commercial release depending on the project. The Company recorded, on a preliminary basis, $107.0 million of IPR&D related to three projects, which were expected to be completed during fiscal 2018 and 2019 with a preliminary cost to complete of approximately $18.0 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company obtained regulatory approval for two projects with an aggregate fair value of $61.0 million and these assets were reclassified to developed technology. The remaining project is expected to be completed during fiscal 2019 with an estimated cost to complete of approximately $4.0 million. Given the uncertainties inherent with product development and introduction, there can be no assurance that any of the Company's product development efforts will be successful, completed on a timely basis or within budget, if at all. All of the IPR&D assets were valued using the multiple-period excess earnings method approach.

The distribution agreement intangible asset primarily relates to Cynosure's exclusive distribution rights for the MonaLisa Touch device in certain geographic regions. The customer relationships intangible asset pertains to Cynosure's relationships with its end customers and related service arrangements and distributors throughout the world. Trade names relate to the Cynosure corporate name and primary product names, and the Company used the Relief-from-Royalty Method to estimate the fair value of this asset.

Developed technology, distribution agreement, customer relationships and trade names are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 11.8 years, 8 years, 7.7 years and 8.9 years, respectively.

The preliminary calculation of the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of the preliminary amount of goodwill are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the Cynosure acquisition. These benefits include the expectation that the Company's entry into the aesthetics market will significantly broaden the Company's offering in women's health. The combined company is expected to benefit from a broader global presence, synergistic utilization of Hologic's direct sales force, primarily its GYN Surgical sales force, with certain Cynosure products, and the Company's entry into an adjacent cash-pay segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Cynosure's revenue and pre-tax loss, which excludes acquisition expenses incurred by the Company, for the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2017, were $207.5 million and $96.4 million, respectively. The pre-tax loss includes amortization expense, the impact of the step-up in inventory, retention and integration expenses including legal and consulting fees, and restructuring charges. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined financial results for the Company and Cynosure as if the acquisition of Cynosure had been completed at the beginning of the prior fiscal year, September 26, 2015:



	Twelve Months Ended		Twelve Months Ended
	September 30, 2017		September 24, 2016
	(unaudited)		(unaudited)
Revenue	$	3,241.4	$	3,244.6
Net income	$	768.5	$	252.3
Basic earnings per common share	$	2.75	$	0.90
Diluted earnings per common share	$	2.69	$	0.88

The unaudited pro forma information for fiscal 2017 and 2016 was calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and the impact of acquisition date fair value adjustments. Fiscal 2017 unaudited pro forma net income was adjusted to exclude acquisition-related transaction costs, restructuring and retention costs solely related to the acquisition, and the impact of the fair value step-up to inventory. These expenses have been added to fiscal 2016 unaudited pro forma net income. These pro forma condensed consolidated financial results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments to reflect pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition occurred on September 27, 2015, such as fair value adjustments to inventory and property, plant and equipment, increased expenses for restructuring charges and retention costs, and increased amortization for the fair value of acquired intangible assets. The pro forma information does not reflect the effect of costs, other than restructuring, or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the combination occurred at the beginning of each period presented, or of future results of the consolidated entities.

Medicor Medical Supply

On April 7, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of MMS Medicor Medical Supplies GmbH ("Medicor") for a purchase price of approximately $19.0 million, which includes a working capital adjustment of $2.0 million that was paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, and a holdback of $1.9 million that is payable two years from the date of acquisition. Medicor was a long-standing distributor of the Company's Breast and Skeletal Health products in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Based on the Company's preliminary valuation, it has allocated $5.4 million of the purchase price to the preliminary value of intangible assets, which primarily consist of customer relationships and have a weighted average life of 7.7 years, and $8.9 million to goodwill. The remaining $4.7 million of purchase price has been allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary as the Company continues to gather information supporting the acquired assets and liabilities.
