Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF MASIMO CORPORATION AND VIPER HOLDINGS CORPORATION

On April 11, 2022, Masimo Corporation (“Masimo” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, completed its acquisition of Viper Holdings Corporation (“Viper”), a Delaware corporation, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated February 15, 2022, among the Company, Sonic Boom Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Viper, and, solely in its capacity as the Seller Representative, Viper Holdings, LLC (Sound United Series). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Viper, with Viper surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

The Company funded the purchase price for the acquisition with a combination of: (1) the proceeds from an unsecured term loan issued under a new Credit Agreement with financial institutions party thereto as initial lenders (collectively, the “Initial Lenders”), Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Citibank, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of the West and BOFA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of the West and BOFA Securities, Inc., as co-syndication agents, dated April 11, 2022, (the “Credit Facility”), (2) the proceeds from the revolver issued under the Credit Facility and (3) cash on hand (the “Acquisition financing”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from:

•Masimo’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 (as included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 16, 2022);

•Viper’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, which are filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (as amended) to which this Exhibit 99.3 is filed as an exhibit.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Merger based on the historical financial statements of Masimo and Viper after giving effect to the Merger and the Merger-related pro forma adjustments as described in the notes included below.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786, “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical consolidated financial statements of Viper, as adjusted to give effect to the Merger and the Acquisition financing. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 gives effect to the Merger and the Acquisition financing as if they occurred or had become effective on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022 gives effect to the Merger and the Acquisition financing as if they occurred or had become effective on January 3, 2021. Further information about this basis of presentation is provided in Note 1 to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been prepared by the Company using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). The Company has been treated as the acquirer in the Merger for accounting purposes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is provided for illustrative and informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Merger been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.

1

An updated determination of the fair value of Viper’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed within one year of closing of the Merger. The final purchase price allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill, and other assets and liabilities may impact the combined entity’s balance sheet and statement of operations. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may arise, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information and the combined entity’s future results of operations and financial position.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information does not reflect any expected cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that the combined entity may achieve as a result of the Merger or the costs necessary to achieve any such cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements.

MASIMO CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of pro forma presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by the Company in connection with its acquisition of Viper, a company with a premium consumer technology platform and iconic, universally recognized brands like Bowers & Wilkins®, Denon®, Definitive Technology®, Marantz®, Classe®, Polk Audio® and Boston Acoustics®, as well as an integrated wireless software platform, HEOS® which connects devices and networks in the home.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Viper, as adjusted to give effect to the pro forma adjustments. Masimo and Viper’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

The Company follows a conventional 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal year 2021 was a 52-week fiscal year ended January 1, 2022. Viper’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Consequently, Viper’s historical statements of operations have been combined with the Company’s statement of operations for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, by adding Viper’s audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022. The audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Masimo as of and for the year ended January 1, 2022, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2022, which were filed with the SEC on February 16, 2022, and the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of Viper as of March 31, 2022, which are included as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (as amended) to which this Exhibit 99.3 is filed as an exhibit.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”), with Masimo considered the accounting acquirer of Viper. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, the purchase price consideration has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Viper based upon management’s preliminary estimate of their fair values. The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation and related adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information are preliminary and subject to adjustment based on a final determination of fair value and tax contingency matters. The purchase price consideration as well as the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities will be updated and finalized as soon as practicable, but no later than one year from the closing of the acquisition.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. Management has included certain reclassification adjustments for consistency in presentation as indicated in the subsequent notes. See Note 2 for further discussion. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the Company had the Merger or the Acquisition financing been completed as of the dates presented and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.

Less: Viper historical debt not assumed(2)						(375,610)						(27,053)
Plus: Viper historical unamortized debt issuance costs						10,554						—
Plus: Interest expense for unused funds paid at closing						—						68
Pro forma adjustment(3)						$	215,613					$	(17,107)

_____________

(1)    On April 11, 2022, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into the “Credit Facility”. The Credit Facility provides for an unsecured term loan of $300 million (the “Term Loan”) and $500 million of ongoing unsecured revolving commitments (the “Revolver”), with an option, subject to certain conditions, for the Company to increase the aggregate borrowing capacity by an additional $400 million (plus additional unlimited amounts if certain incurrence tests are met) in the future with the Initial Lenders and additional lenders, as required. The Company had a draw down up to $290 million from the revolving commitment and rolled forward a $1.9 million Standby Letter of Credit into the new Credit Facility as of the date of the Merger. The applicable interest rate basis is at SOFR, plus the contractual spread for both the Term Loan and the Revolver which has been reflected on an estimated basis at 1.358%. See Note 3 to this table for interest rate sensitivity.

(2)    This represents Viper’s short-term debt of $9,500 thousand and long-term debt of $366,110 thousand not assumed by Masimo, which excludes debt acquired in Japan.

(3)    A change in interest rates of 1.0% related to the Term Loan and the Revolver would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $5,900 thousand for the year ended January 1, 2022. Given current interest rates volatility, the Company expects actual annual interest expense to be higher than the pro forma results.

_____________

(1)    Represents the impact of the estimated acquisition costs of Masimo and Viper, incurred between the date of the historical financial statements included in the pro forma and the transaction close date. In addition, Viper incurred $7,692 thousand of acquisition costs related to the acquisition in its historical statement of operation for the year ended March 31, 2022. Accordingly, this expense is reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses within Viper’s historical results.

(2)    Reflects the impact of RSUs and PSUs and cash issued to certain transferring Viper employees. See Note 5 for details.

(D). The estimated tax impact is based on an assumed tax rate of 21%, which is Masimo’s statutory rate. Any tax benefit reflected related to the pro forma adjustments may be subject to a valuation allowance. Because the adjustments contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are based on estimates, the effective tax rate herein will vary from the effective rate in periods subsequent to the Viper acquisition. The statutory rate is also applied to the step up of intangibles, inventory, and property, plant and equipment to estimate a deferred tax liability for pro forma purposes.

5. Retention awards

(A). The Company offered compensation in the form of retention awards to certain transferring Viper employees. These compensation agreements were not contemplated in the Merger Agreement and resulted in retention bonuses (cash as well as RSUs and PSUs). Each compensation retention award classification vests over differing terms. This adjustment reflects the condensed combined balance sheet impact of $4,460 thousand of accrued compensation and $16,026 thousand of additional paid in capital, and the condensed combined statement of operations compensation expense impact of $1,878 thousand to cost of goods sold, $1,208 thousand to research and development and $17,400 thousand to selling general and administrative. The number of PSU shares that may be earned can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount.

(B). Reflects the issuance of RSU’s issued in conjunction with the retention awards offered to certain transferring Viper employees.
