Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2018

Based on the Company's strong performance in the fiscal third quarter, Hologic is increasing its full-year 2018 revenue guidance and raising its EPS guidance slightly at the midpoint.

Hologic's financial guidance for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2018 is shown in the tables immediately below. The guidance is based on a full year non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 23%, and diluted shares outstanding of approximately 278 to 279 million for the full year. As a reminder, percentage changes versus the prior year are affected by the blood screening divestiture and the Cynosure acquisition, both of which closed in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Constant currency guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates are the same in fiscal 2018 as in fiscal 2017. Current guidance assumes that recent foreign exchange rates persist for all of fiscal 2018.

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: constant currency revenues; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP operating expenses; non-GAAP income from operations; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP interest expense; non-GAAP pre-tax income; non-GAAP tax rate; non-GAAP net margin; non-GAAP net income; non-GAAP diluted EPS; adjusted EBITDA; and adjusted ROIC. Constant currency presentations show reported period revenue results as if the foreign exchange rates were the same as those in effect in the comparable prior year period. The Company defines its non-GAAP net income, EPS, and other non-GAAP financial measures to exclude, as applicable: (i) the amortization of intangible assets; (ii) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; (iiI) additional depreciation expense from acquired fixed assets and accelerated depreciation related to business consolidation and closure of facilities; (iv) additional expense resulting from the purchase accounting adjustment to record inventory at fair value; (v) non-cash interest expense related to amortization of the debt discount from the equity conversion option of convertible notes; (vi) restructuring and divestiture charges, facility closure and consolidation charges and costs incurred to integrate acquisitions (including retention, transaction bonuses, legal and professional consulting services) and separate divested businesses from existing operations; (vii) transaction related expenses for divestitures and acquisitions; (viii) gain on disposal of business; (ix) debt extinguishment losses and related transaction costs; (x) the unrealized (gains) losses on the mark-to-market of forward foreign currency contracts for which the Company has not elected hedge accounting; (xi) litigation settlement charges (benefits) and non-income tax related charges (benefits); (xii) other-than-temporary impairment losses on investments and realized (gains) losses resulting from the sale of investments; (xiii) the one-time discrete impact of tax reform primarily related to remeasuring net deferred tax liabilities and providing taxes for the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings (xiv) other one-time, non-recurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's core business results as detailed in our reconciliations of such adjustments; and (xv) income taxes related to such adjustments. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as its non-GAAP net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense included in its non-GAAP net income.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release adjust for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of Hologic's historical operating results, comparison to competitors' operating results and determination of management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Hologic's business.

Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.

Future Non-GAAP Adjustments

Future GAAP EPS may be affected by changes in ongoing assumptions and judgments, and may also be affected by non-recurring, unusual or unanticipated charges, expenses or gains, which are excluded in the calculation of the Company's non-GAAP EPS guidance as described in this press release.

                (3)    To reflect restructuring charges, and
                        certain costs associated with the
                        Company's integration and facility
                        consolidation plans, which primarily
                        include retention and transfer
                        costs, as well as costs incurred to
                        integrate acquisitions and dispose
                        businesses, including consulting,

                        to when such transactions are
                        completed. These expenses primarily
                        comprise broker fees, legal fees,
                        and consulting and due diligence
                        fees.

                        outstanding forward foreign currency
                        contracts, which do not qualify for
                        hedge accounting.

                (9)    To reflect a non-income tax benefit
                        in the first quarter of fiscal 2018
                        of $4.0 million as the Company
                        settled a non-income tax issue
                        under audit. To reflect non-income
                        tax benefit in the third quarter of
                        fiscal 2017 of $12.4 million from
                        refunds received from amending the
                        Company's Medical Device Excise tax
                        filings and a charge of $28.8
                        million recorded in the second
                        quarter of fiscal 2017 as the
                        Company determined during the second
                        quarter that a loss became probable
                        associated with a non-income tax
                        issue under audit.

               (10)    To reflect the amount of debt
                        issuance costs recorded directly to
                        interest expense as a result of
                        refinancing the Company's Credit
                        Agreement and Senior Notes in the
                        first and second quarters of fiscal
                        2018, respectively.

               (11)    To reflect the discrete impact of tax
                        reform to the provision for income
                        taxes effective in the first quarter
                        of fiscal 2018. The primary benefit
                        on a year to date basis was
                        primarily due to re-measuring the
                        Company's domestic net deferred tax
                        liabilities at a significantly lower
                        federal tax rate. The impact to the
                        third quarter income tax provision
                        was primarily due to the reversal of
                        the amount accrued for the
                        transition tax (i.e., repatriation
                        of cash held offshore).

               (12)    To reflect an estimated annual
                        effective tax rate of 22.75% and
                        31.0% for fiscal 2018 and 2017,
                        respectively.

               (13)    Non-GAAP earnings per share was
                        calculated based on 275,569 and
                        278,806 weighted average diluted
                        shares outstanding for the three and
                        nine months ended June 30, 2018,
                        respectively, and 287,638 and
                        285,957 for the three and nine
                        months ended July 1, 2017,
                        respectively.

               (14)    To reflect the gain realized on the
                        sale of the Blood Screening business
                        to Grifols in the second quarter of
                        fiscal 2017.

               (15)    To reflect the fair value step up of
                        inventory sold during the period
                        related to the Cynosure acquisition.

               (16)    To reflect the purchase of intangible
                        assets to be used in a research and
                        development project that have no
                        future alternative use.

               (17)    To reflect the impairment of an IPR&D
                        asset acquired in the Cynosure
                        acquisition that was abandoned
                        during the second quarter of fiscal
                        2018 due to unsuccessful clinical
                        results.

               (18)    To reflect a goodwill impairment
                        charge in the Medical Aesthetics
                        reportable segment, which is
                        comprised solely of the Cynosure
                        business. The Company identified
                        impairment indicators in the second
                        quarter of fiscal 2018 and performed
                        an interim goodwill impairment test,
                        which resulted in the fair value of
                        the reporting unit being
                        significantly less than its carrying
                        value. Accordingly, the Company
                        recorded a goodwill impairment
                        charge in the second quarter of
                        fiscal 2018.
