Acquisitions
Attune Medical
On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Advanced Cooling Therapy, Inc., d/b/a Attune Medical (“Attune Medical”), the manufacturer of the ensoETM® proactive esophageal cooling device, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Attune Medical. On April 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Attune Medical for a net purchase price of $176.2 million, which included an upfront cash payment of $162.0 million, or $150.5 million net of $11.5 million cash acquired, the fair value of contingent consideration of $25.3 million, and $0.4 million of working capital adjustments. The contingent consideration is based on sales growth over the three years following completion of the acquisition, which is uncapped, and the achievement of certain other milestones. The Company financed the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
Attune Medical's ensoETM technology is designed for use across a range of medical conditions involving patient cooling or warming, including treatment in electrophysiology, critical care, neurocritical care, trauma, burn surgery, spine surgery, and cancer surgery, among others. The Company’s addition of the Esophageal Protection product line through its acquisition of Attune Medical expands the Hospital business unit’s presence in electrophysiology and complements its Vascular Closure product line within Interventional Technologies, which is included in the Hospital reportable segment.
Purchase Price Allocation
The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination, and in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recognized based on management’s estimates and assumptions using the information regarding facts and circumstances that existed at the closing date.
The net purchase price of $176.2 million consists of the amounts presented below, which represent the final determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
April 1, 2024
(Dollars in Thousands)
Accounts receivable$3,784 
Inventories26,300 
Prepaid expenses and other current assets906

Intangible assets105,800 
Goodwill70,256

Accounts payable2,260 
Accrued payroll and related costs2,129 
Other liabilities496 
Deferred tax liability26,155 
Total liabilities assumed31,040 
Net assets acquired$176,206 
The Company determined that the identifiable intangible assets were developed technology, customer contracts and related relationships and trade names. The fair values of intangible assets were based on valuation techniques with estimates and assumptions developed by the Company. Developed technology was valued using the excess earnings method. Customer contracts and related relationships were valued using the distributor method. The trademark was valued using the relief from royalty method. The cash flows used in the valuation of the intangible assets were based on estimates used to price the transaction. In developing the discount rates applied to the cash flow projections, the discount rates were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model and the weighted average cost of capital and then adjusted to reflect the relative risk of the asset.
The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. As a result of the acquisition of Attune Medical, the Company recognized goodwill of $70.3 million based on expected synergies from integration into the Company’s Hospital business. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes and relates entirely to the Hospital reportable segment.
Intangible assets acquired consist of the following:

Customer contracts and related relationships7,800 10 years21.5 %
Trade names1,900 10 years21.5 %
Total$105,800 
The Company recorded a long-term net deferred tax liability of $26.2 million primarily related to fair value adjustments recorded associated with definite-lived intangible assets and inventory in which there is no tax basis, partially offset by deferred tax assets primarily related to net operating losses acquired.
Acquisition-Related Costs
The Company incurred $9.8 million of acquisition-related costs during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 in connection with the Attune Medical acquisition. These costs related to legal and other professional fees, which were recognized in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) within the condensed consolidated statements of income.

OpSens Inc.
On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into an Arrangement Agreement with OpSens Inc. (“OpSens”), a medical device cardiology-focused company delivering solutions based on its proprietary optical technology, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of OpSens. On December 12, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of OpSens for a net purchase price of $243.9 million, reflecting total consideration of $254.5 million, net of $10.6 million of cash acquired. The Company financed the acquisition through a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility.
OpSens offers commercially and clinically validated optical technology for use primarily in interventional cardiology. OpSens’ core products include the SavvyWire®, a sensor-guided 3-in-1 guidewire for transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures, advancing the workflow of the procedure and enabling potentially shorter hospital stays for patients; and the OptoWire®, a pressure guidewire that aims to improve clinical outcomes by accurately and consistently measuring fractional flow reserve and diastolic pressure ratio to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. OpSens also manufactures a range of fiber optic sensor solutions used in medical devices and other critical industrial applications. The addition of OpSens expands the Hospital business unit portfolio in the interventional cardiology market and is included in the Hospital reportable segment.

Divestiture of the Whole Blood Product Line
On December 3, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Whole Blood product line and related assets within its Blood Center business unit to GVS, S.p.A (“GVS”), a manufacturer of filter solutions for applications in the healthcare and life sciences sectors. The divested assets include the Company’s complete portfolio of proprietary whole blood collection, processing and filtration solutions, along with the Company’s manufacturing facility in Covina, California where certain of these products are produced, and related equipment and assets located at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico.
On January 13, 2025, the Company completed the transaction with GVS in exchange for upfront cash consideration of $43.3 million, after customary post-closing adjustments, and up to $22.5 million in contingent consideration, based on sales growth over the three years following completion of the transaction and the achievement of certain other milestones.
The assets that were derecognized in connection with the sale consisted of $26.4 million of inventory, $7.8 million of property, plant and equipment and $6.4 million of goodwill, which were previously classified as held for sale in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.
In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a gain from the sale of the business in Interest and other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended March 29, 2025. The gain was not material and included cash receipts of $43.3 million less net assets transferred to GVS or otherwise derecognized and net of transaction costs of $0.1 million.
As part of the sale, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with GVS to ensure a smooth transition of business operations. Under the TSA, the Company will continue to provide certain regulatory, quality, logistical and operational support services to GVS for a maximum period of 36 months following the transaction closing to facilitate GVS's integration of the acquired business. Under the TSA, the Company is entitled to be reimbursed for the costs incurred plus a mark-up and has recorded net income and expenses related to the agreement in SG&A in the condensed consolidated statements of income, which were immaterial for the three months ended June 28, 2025.
In addition to the TSA, Haemonetics and GVS entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement (“CMA”), under which Haemonetics will continue to manufacture certain whole blood filtration products for GVS for a maximum term of 18 months.
