Net income for the first quarter was $26.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, including the after-tax impact of $30.1 million in proceeds from the antitrust lawsuit victory against Covidien, partially offset by $10.9 million in related, incremental one-time SG&A expenses. Excluding this net one-time pre-tax gain of $19.2 million, net income for the first quarter was $14.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $13.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2009.

During the first quarter, the company shipped 37,100 Masimo SET pulse oximetry and Masimo Rainbow SET Pulse CO-Oximetry units, excluding handheld units, compared to 27,700 in the same period last year. Masimo estimates its worldwide installed base as of April 3, 2010 to be approximately 757,000 units, up 16% from approximately 651,000 for the same period last year.

Joe Kiani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Masimo, said, "Masimo's mission is to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care by taking noninvasive monitoring to new sites and new applications. Toward this mission, we made solid progress through double-digit growth in our core Masimo SET pulse oximetry and a 71% increase in sales of Masimo Rainbow Pulse CO-Oximetry, which includes the first-ever continuous and noninvasive hemoglobin measurement. The 34% year-over-year growth in unit shipments of Masimo SET and Masimo Rainbow monitors and OEM boards reflects strong sales to OEMs and growing demand for both our Rainbow platform, and Patient SafetyNet system for the general floor."

As of April 3, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $112.1 million, compared to $189.0 million as of January 2, 2010. The decline is due to the March 31, 2010 dividend payment of $117.5 million, partially offset by operating cash flow and the net proceeds from the antitrust lawsuit.

About Masimo

Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI) develops innovative monitoring technologies that significantly improve patient care--helping solve "unsolvable" problems. In 1995, the company debuted Measure-Through Motion and Low Perfusion pulse oximetry, known as Masimo SET®, which virtually eliminated false alarms and increased pulse oximetry's ability to detect life-threatening events. More than 100 independent and objective studies demonstrate Masimo SET provides the most reliable SpO2 and pulse rate measurements even under the most challenging clinical conditions, including patient motion and low peripheral perfusion. In 2005, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET® Pulse CO-Oximetry(TM), allowing noninvasive and continuous monitoring of blood constituents that previously required invasive procedures, including total hemoglobin (SpHb®), oxygen content (SpOC(TM)), carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO®), methemoglobin (SpMet®), and PVI®, in addition to SpO2, pulse rate, and perfusion index (PI). In 2009, Masimo introduced Masimo Rainbow SET® Acoustic Monitoring(TM), the first-ever noninvasive and continuous monitoring of acoustic respiration rate (RRa(TM)). Masimo's Rainbow platform offers a breakthrough in patient safety by helping clinicians detect life-threatening conditions and helping guide treatment options. Founded in 1989, Masimo has the mission of "Improving Patient Outcomes and Reducing Cost of Care by Taking Noninvasive Monitoring to New Sites and Applications."
