Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The financial outlook for Hologic, Inc. (“Hologic” or the “Company”) for the current, fiscal fourth quarter has improved since July 29, 2020, when the Company reported its third quarter financial results and provided financial guidance for the fourth quarter.

Since then, the Company’s Diagnostics business has continued to increase supply chain capacity, enabling revenue to significantly outperform based on increased production and strong sales of COVID-19 tests, Panther® instruments and related products. In addition, the Company’s Breast and Skeletal business, as well as its Surgical division, have performed slightly better than expected.

As a result, with more than 80% of its current, fiscal fourth quarter now complete, the Company now forecasts that total revenues in the fourth quarter will increase between 54% and 60% (compared to the prior year period and in constant currency). These percentage increases, which exclude revenue from the divested Cynosure Medical Aesthetics business in the prior year period, correspond to reported revenue of between $1.225 billion and $1.275 billion this quarter. This increased revenue is also expected to drive earnings per share (EPS) significantly above the Company’s prior guidance.

Hologic is providing these updates in advance of the Company’s participation next week in two virtual investor conferences hosted by Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan, respectively. The Company’s presentations at these conferences will be webcast live and will be available on the Company’s investor relations page at: http://investors.hologic.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. The information in this Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the ability of the Company’s divisions to continue their current rates of recovery, demand for the Company’s COVID-19 tests, and the ability to manufacture the tests as well as additional Panther systems to meet demand. The Company does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
