Hologic -- we are one of the leading companies in the area of women's health. Our products cover a whole spectrum of women's health diseases, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, osteoporosis. Our desire is to treat and offer the full continuum of care to women today. Our products are best in class products. We consider them to be the gold standard in the marketplace today.

I think that is the number one driver for us, especially for things such as breast cancer, osteoporosis, cervical cancer. But in addition to that, advanced screening improved outcomes. We are all about finding better screening modalities to help catch cancers early. We are pushing for less invasive, less costly therapies. We want to move away from open surgical procedures such as in the breast biopsy world and move to minimally invasive procedures. And then finally, technological advancements. This is a big part of what Hologic does. It's to try to obsolete the products that we have today. The recent example that we are working on is #-D tomosynthesis hopefully to replace the #-D digital products in the market today, which replaced the analog film from years ago. If you look at a number of our products within the various segments that we have, you find that many of them are ranked number one. And the primary reason -- well,...

I'm Tycho Peterson from the Medical and Life Science Group, and it's my pleasure  to introduce our next company today, Hologic. Over the past decade, as you may know, Hologic has built an exceptional franchise in #D digital mammography. And with the addition of Cytyc, the Company expanded greatly in women's health with products for liquid Pap testing, endometrial ablation, and other areas. As we saw this morning with the news from the Company, the hospital spending market is obviously challenging. But the earnings story has remained intact here, and as we look out at the coming year we see a handful of interesting catalysts. We think the new #D tomo product will be the most -- one of the most visible product cycles in the space over the next coming years, further complemented by opportunities in HPV and other areas. So, let me turn it over to Jack Cumming to tell you a little bit more. ...

These risks outweigh the company's strong positions in attractive specialty medical markets. In October 2007, Hologic purchased Cytyc in a $6 billion transaction, about one-third of which was funded with a secured credit facility. This transaction almost doubled the size of Hologic, adding product and geographic breadth. Subsequent to paying down most of the initial term loan, Hologic purchased Third Wave Technologies, Inc. for $580 million in July 2008; the acquisition was financed with proceeds from an amended and restated credit facility. As a result, debt leverage rose to 4x at Sept.</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">436440</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">43644A</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">35101010 351010 3510 35</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Hologic Inc.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">419885</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">HOLX</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">SUMMARY</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">LEVFIN</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Health</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/T2035691</link><guid isPermaLink="false">ccbn/T2035691</guid><ccbn:index_mode xmlns:ccbn="http://www.alacra.com/ccbn">norm</ccbn:index_mode><description>... - Hologic -  CFOGood morning. Welcome to Chicago. Can everybody see me okay? Everyone have a good spot? Great. Welcome to our fifth  annual investor briefing here at RSNA. This is being webcast this morning. So for the benefit of those listening in, we are at the floor of RSNA on the lake side of McCormick Place and I am Glenn Muir, Hologic's CFO. We have a number of presentations this morning for you. RSNA is the largest medical show in the US. We are expecting over ##,### attendees this year, pre-registration is up #% over last year. Our booth here at RSNA is approximately the same size as last year, if you walk around the three sections of RSNA, it'll be easy to notice that the Hologic booth is the fifth largest booth at RSNA. So we have a sizeable presence here at Hologic and we're very excited to show you many of the products here in our booth today. With that, let me just start off with the Safe Harbor. We will be making or hope to make some forward-looking statements this morning...
