HAE Expects a Modest Net Profit Margin Expansion in Fiscal 2018
On its fiscal 3Q18 earnings conference call, Haemonetics (HAE) increased the guidance for its fiscal 2018 adjusted EPS (earnings per share) by ~$0.12 to the range $1.80–$1.90. Haemonetics has calculated this EPS guidance by assuming a positive impact from its overperformance in fiscal 3Q18 and a negative impact from its anticipated investments in fiscal 4Q18. Excluding the impact of its restructuring and turnaround expenses, the company expects $125 million worth of free cash flow in fiscal 2018.
