Catherine M. Szyman
Thank you, Eli, and good afternoon, everyone. For the second quarter, our core Healthcare business delivered strong growth and earnings performance. Revenue was $370 million, and we achieved earnings per share of $1.33 with 600 basis points of operating margin expansion. This exceptional performance reflects the continuation of the effective cost structure actions taken last year and is the result of hard work and strong execution across the entire organization. I have spoken repeatedly about the incredible talent and innovation we have at Masimo. Building on that foundation, we've undertaken a thoughtful effort to expand our leadership team in key focus areas. First, we added the role of Chief Commercial Officer with Greg Nihan. Greg brings over 25 years of experience building and optimizing commercial organizations in the medical technology industry, where he delivered double-digit growth and improved profit margins by building high-performance teams. Second, we added a President of the Japan and Asia Pacific region, Dr. Kaman Wang, Cayman is an anesthesiologist and business development leader with over 30 years of experience overseeing growth-oriented sales and marketing organizations in the region. Next, we have a new Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer, Tim Benno. Tim has an impressive track record of overseeing the launch and commercialization of transformational therapies such as MitraClip, TAVR and AI-based platforms for market-leading companies. Tim joined us from Inari Medical, where he led global sales, global marketing and market access across the company's category- leading portfolio. We also added an Executive Vice President of Quality and Regulatory, Lynette Tore. Lynette brings over 20 years of deep expertise in shaping global quality and regulatory compliance strategies and most recently led these efforts at Integra LifeSciences. Lastly, we have a new Chief Information Technology Officer, [indiscernible] is an IT expert with a proven track record of driving large-scale digital transformations and developing tech-enabled products to support business growth and enhance enterprise cybersecurity. These hirings follow the earlier addition of our Chief Human Resource Officer, Lisa Helman, who led human resources at Hologic, a leading women's medical technology company. All of these leaders share a deep commitment to the patient experience and each of them is highly qualified to help us drive our next chapter of growth and innovation. It's a testament to the exceptional talent we already have as well as our leading industry position that we have been able to attract such skills and dynamic additions to our team. With this new structure, we now have the key pillars in place to augment commercial and operating excellence to execute our growth strategy. The prior responsibilities of our Chief Operating Officer have been redistributed across other roles, including the elevation of our engineering and operations team leaders to my executive stack. Omar Ahmed has been promoted to Chief Technology and Innovation Officer. [indiscernible] has been elevated to my staff as the Executive Vice President of Operations. We do not anticipate further substantial additions to leadership aside from the eventual appointment of a permanent General Counsel. Now let me turn to our strategic and financial goals and what we are doing to achieve them. As we have stated, we are focused on investing in our core health care business to achieve our goals and accelerate our long-term revenue growth. I'm excited about the opportunities we have to accomplish this goal, and we'd like to briefly recap our growth strategy. As I mentioned before, we are focused on 3 waves of growth, elevating commercial excellence, accelerating intelligent monitoring and innovating wearable technologies. First, I'd like to address our focus on elevating commercial excellence globally. As I mentioned, we have added key leaders to bring a strong focus on commercial execution, including our new Chief Commercial Officer, our new leader in Japan and Asia Pacific and our Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer. These leaders are dedicated to driving growth across our portfolio. As described on our last earnings call, we strategically aligned our U.S. sales force, moving from specialty teams centralized by product category to regionally led groups within our pulse oximetry infrastructure. We believe we have the best bulk oximetry sales force in the industry. and we want to leverage the strength of that team to pull through other categories and increase our market position across all categories long term. Looking at categories such as capnography, brain monitoring, hemodynamics and automation, those markets are worth somewhere between $1 billion and $2 billion and in aggregate are growing by high single digits. To date, our market share is less than 20% in each of those segments. The sales team alignment allows us to increase the sales representation in each U.S. region such that each region now has a dedicated representative for each of the specialties, which in turn health should help us capture more pull-through because we ideally would have the same large market share in those areas as we do in pulse oximetry. In summary, we are leveraging our leadership position in pulse oximetry to broaden our impact on patients and to broaden our market presence across other advanced monitoring categories. Our goal is to achieve growth in those adjacent markets of 10% to 20%. Now let's turn to our second wave of growth, accelerating the adoption of intelligent monitoring. In this area, we are working to upgrade our centers and create next-gen monitors featuring advanced AI-based algorithms. We expect this will help us to continue to grow our market share while creating greater value as customers pay for the innovation we deliver. In the past, our team developed incredibly advanced algorithms for the consumer market, and we are now redeploying those innovations into sensors for use in hospitals. One example is our ability to detect cardiac dysfunction such as atrial fibrillation using just a pulse oximetry sensor. This will enable the detection of patients who are in distress earlier and it will allow clinicians to take remedial actions very quickly. Our third wave of growth will come from innovating wearables longer term. We continue to evaluate our significant opportunities to change the way patients are monitored around the world. We have a strong portfolio of wearable technology and telemonitoring solutions that we are piloting today. There are numerous unmet patient needs that we are well positioned to address, and we have strong capabilities and momentum behind us to do so through further innovation of our wearable technologies and solutions. The third wave of innovation will expand our long-term growth potential. In recent months, I visited our employees and customers around the world. So far, I've visited customers, regional officers and our major manufacturing locations across the United States, Saudi Arabia, Mexicali, Japan, Korea and Malaysia. In fact, I don't know where I wasn't this last quarter. In total, I've met more than 90% of our incredible team. I've been impressed by their passion for Masimo and the patients we serve as well as their creativity and commitment to innovation. This commitment is what will drive our continued growth and I have great confidence in the team's ability to execute on our strategic growth priorities. Just a few words on tariffs. Our operations and finance teams have worked relentlessly to reduce our exposure to new tariffs by implementing highly effective mitigation measures. I'm very proud of our team and want to highlight that their efforts have played a big part in our ability to guide to a tariff impact that is more than 50% less than our original estimate. Micah will expand on this more and provide updated guidance, but I do want to highlight that our updated EPS guidance now exceeds our original projections provided at the beginning of the year before the tariff situation had even started. Despite the impact of tariffs, we are projecting 24% to 30% EPS growth this year. I'd really like to thank our entire global team for delivering another excellent quarter. Our products and technologies continue to impact millions of patients around the world. I am honored to be a part of this team. With that, I'll turn it over to Micah.
