Item 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

On November 5, 2021, Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”) announced its earnings for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. Please see the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference (the “Press Release”).

In the Press Release, the Corporation uses various non-GAAP measures, including adjusted gross margin, operating margin, income before taxes, income tax expense and diluted earnings per share results, because it uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business. In addition, the Corporation analyzes net revenue on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. The Corporation believes that evaluating growth in net revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment to both management and investors. These measures should not, however, be considered in isolation, as a substitute for, or as superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise stated in such filing.

Item 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

On November 5, 2021, the Corporation announced that Welch Allyn, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, had completed the acquisition of Epiphany Cardiography Products, LLC for cash consideration of $38 million, subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. Epiphany Cardiography Products, LLC offers an interoperable connectivity solution capable of supporting more than 260 unique devices from more than 80 manufacturers and integrating across all major Electronic Medical Record vendors.
