CEO Comments
"In line with our expectations, we delivered a solid quarter while continuing to invest in our global growth strategy," stated Thomas J. Hook, Greatbatch president and CEO. "Our top-line performance, with the exception of portable medical, reflects our investments in sales and marketing and was at or above market trends with orthopaedics and vascular again delivering strong growth. Our CRM customer launches in the quarter were a testament to our commitment to technology. The 12% growth in adjusted diluted EPS to $0.64 demonstrates our commitment to continued profitability.
We are also very pleased to welcome the CCC Medical Devices team to Greatbatch. The business collaboration is an excellent addition to our active implantable medical device strategy."
CFO Comments
Commenting on the Company's financial results, Greatbatch executive vice president and CFO Michael Dinkins said, "As expected, we returned modest top-line growth following a strong prior year performance and held costs in line resulting in adjusted operating margins above 13%. We continue to expand adjusted EBITDA margins, improving 10 basis points in the quarter, consistent with our adjusted earnings growth."
Mr. Dinkins continued, "Based on our third quarter results, the addition of CCC Medical Devices, and our forecast for the fourth quarter, we are raising our 2014 full year revenue and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range to $695 million - $705 million and $2.32 - $2.38 per share, respectively. It is important to note that the midpoint of our guidance would result in approximately 5% organic constant currency growth and two times that amount for adjusted operating income growth in comparison to 2013, which is consistent with our long-term strategic growth objectives."
Third Quarter Results
Third quarter 2014 sales of $171.7 million increased 2% over the prior year period and 1% on an organic constant currency basis. Sales for the third quarter of 2014 include $1.6 million from the acquisition of CCC Medical Devices in August 2014. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on sales for the third quarter of 2014, but is expected to be a headwind for the remainder of 2014 due to the strengthening dollar versus the Euro. The organic constant currency sales increase in comparison to the prior year period was primarily driven by continued strength in our orthopaedic and vascular product lines, as we continue to realize the benefits of our sales force productivity, marketing efforts, and market growth. As expected, these increases were partially offset by continued weakness in our portable medical product line. Our cardiac and neuromodulation revenue remained consistent with the prior year, as new sales opportunities with existing customers offset the end of life impact for two legacy products.
Gross profit increased $2.2 million to $58.1 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $55.9 million for the third quarter of 2013. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 50 basis points to 33.8% for the third quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily a result of production efficiencies, higher margin sales mix and the acquisition of CCC Medical Devices, which more than offset the impact of contractual price concessions granted to our customers in exchange for long-term agreements.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $0.6 million to $22.1 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $21.6 million for the same period of 2013. This increase is partially attributable to our acquisition of CCC Medical Devices, which added $0.3 million of SG&A costs. The current quarter also reflects the impact of the investments we have made in sales and marketing, as well as higher legal fees, which includes intellectual property related costs. The impact of these increases was almost entirely offset by our various consolidation initiatives, including our operating unit realignment in the second quarter of 2013.
Net research, development and engineering ("RD&E") costs for the 2014 third quarter of $13.6 million remained consistent with the prior year period. In total, net medical device costs incurred by our QiG segment were $6.8 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $6.9 million for the respective 2013 period. These lower expenses reflect a $1.2 million decrease in design verification testing ("DVT") costs incurred in connection with the development of our Algovita Spinal Cord Stimulation ("SCS") system, partially offset by higher performance-based compensation in connection with the achievement of certain Algovita milestones, and a higher rate of spend on the other QiG medical device projects. QiG's medical device technology investment is primarily focused on successfully commercializing Algovita, which continues to progress as planned.
GAAP operating income for the third quarter of 2014 decreased 5% to $16.2 million, compared to $17.0 million for the 2013 third quarter. This decrease was primarily due to our increased SG&A and consolidation and optimization costs partially offset by higher gross profit. Adjusted operating income, which excludes net other operating expenses and DVT costs for the 2013 period, increased 2% to $22.4 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $22.0 million for the comparable 2013 period. Refer to Table A at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP operating income to adjusted operating income and the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section below.
The 2014 third quarter GAAP effective tax rate was 25.9% compared to 28.8% for the same period of 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to higher income in lower tax rate jurisdictions, due to our consolidation initiatives, partially offset by the lapse of the R&D tax credit at the end of 2013, which has not been extended for 2014. If enacted, the R&D tax credit would benefit the current year provision for income taxes by approximately $1.6 million or $400 thousand per quarter and would be recognized in the quarter the legislation is adopted.
GAAP diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2014 were $0.54 compared to $0.44 for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 23%, and includes a $3.1 million gain ($2.0 million net of tax) from our cost and equity method investments. Adjusted diluted EPS for the third quarter 2014 totaled $0.64 compared to $0.57 for the corresponding 2013 period, a 12% increase. Refer to Table B at the end of this release for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted net income and the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section below.
Cash flows provided by operating activities for the third quarter of 2014 were $28.2 million compared to $24.7 million for the 2013 third quarter. This quarter over quarter increase was primarily due to the $8.0 million estimated tax payment made in the third quarter of 2013 in connection with the retirement of our convertible subordinated notes partially offset by increased working capital levels in order to support our growth strategy. Our third quarter capital expenditures were $4.1 million and $16.0 million year-to-date compared to prior year third quarter capital expenditures of $3.4 million and $15.0 million year-to-date.

Product Line Sales Highlights
Our cardiac and neuromodulation revenue remained consistent with the prior year as new sales opportunities with existing customers offset the end of life impact for two legacy products. Going forward, growth in our cardiac and neuromodulation product line will continue to be negatively impacted by these two legacy products, which we expect will be mitigated by continued acceleration of recently launched products, as well as current and projected product development opportunities from our cardiac and neuromodulation customers.
Orthopaedic sales of $32.5 million for the third quarter of 2014 increased 8% on both an actual and organic constant currency basis in comparison to the prior year. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations did not have a material impact on orthopaedic sales for the third quarter of 2014, but is expected to be a headwind for the remainder of 2014 due to the strengthening dollar versus the Euro. During the third quarter of 2014, we experienced growth in orthopaedic implant and instrument sales, due to our sales force productivity, marketing efforts, and market growth, partially offset by a decline in cases and tray sales due to the timing of our customer product launches.
Portable medical sales for the third quarter of 2014 declined $2.1 million or 11% in comparison to the 2013 third quarter. We are refocusing our product line offerings in the portable medical space to products that have increased profitability. Correspondingly, we have discontinued or reduced volumes in certain of our lower margin products, which is expected to negatively impact our sales for the remainder of 2014 and the first half of 2015. As part of our investment in capacity and capabilities and to better align our resources, during the second quarter of 2014, we announced plans to transfer our portable medical operations into a new facility located in Tijuana, Mexico. We remain optimistic about this product line and continue to see our pipeline of customer opportunities grow as we invest in new technologies to meet our customers' needs and to expand our overall market opportunity.
Vascular sales for the third quarter of 2014 increased $2.6 million, or 21% in comparison to the prior year and reflects the continued adoption of our products and the relaunch of a vascular medical device near the end of 2013, which, as previously communicated, was voluntarily recalled in the fourth quarter of 2012.
QiG revenue for the third quarter of 2014 includes sales from CCC Medical Devices which we acquired on August 12, 2014 and contributed $1.6 million to sales during the quarter. CCC Medical Devices is an active implantable medical device systems developer and manufacturer that designs and produces a range of devices for some of the world's top medical device companies, including implantable pulse generators, programmer systems, battery chargers, patient wands and leads. Excluding the revenue acquired from CCC Medical Devices, QiG revenue increased 35% in comparison to the prior year third quarter, due to increased adoption of our thin film electrode technology.
Financial Guidance
Based upon our results for the first three quarters of the year, as well as the addition of CCC Medical Devices and our expectations for the remainder of the year, we are updating our 2014 guidance as follows:
| Sales | $695 -- $705 million |
| GAAP Operating Income as a % of Sales | ~11.0% |
| Adjusted Operating Income as a % of Sales | ~13.0% |
| Capital Expenditures | $20 -- $25 million |
| GAAP/Adjusted Effective Tax Rate | 30% - 32% |
| GAAP Diluted EPS | $2.10 -- $2.18 |
| Adjusted Diluted EPS | $2.32 -- $2.38 |
Adjusted diluted EPS for 2014 is expected to consist of GAAP diluted EPS excluding items such as acquisition, consolidation, integration, asset disposition/write-down charges, and investment gains totaling approximately $8 million to $11 million. The after tax impact of these adjustments is estimated to be $5 million to $7.5 million or $0.19 to $0.29 per share. The current expected GAAP effective tax rate for 2014 does not include the benefit of the U.S. R&D tax credit, which expired at the end of 2013. If reinstated, our 2014 GAAP effective tax rate could be lowered to 28% to 30%, but is already considered in our Adjusted Effective Tax Rate guidance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we provide adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and organic constant currency growth rates. These adjusted amounts, other than adjusted EBITDA and organic constant currency growth rates, consist of GAAP amounts adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) acquisition-related charges, (ii) facility consolidation, optimization, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, (iii) asset write-down and disposition charges, (iv) severance charges in connection with corporate realignments or a reduction in force (v) litigation charges and gains, (vi) the impact of certain non-cash charges to interest expense, (vii) unusual or infrequently occurring items, (viii) for 2013, certain R&D expenditures (such as medical device DVT expenses in connection with developing our neuromodulation platform), (ix) gain/loss on the sale of investments, (x) the income tax (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xi) certain tax items related to the Federal R&D Tax Credit which are outside the normal benefit received. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Adjusted EBITDA consists of adjusted operating income plus GAAP depreciation and amortization less adjustments included in GAAP depreciation and amortization already excluded from adjusted operating income. To calculate organic constant currency growth rates, which exclude the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as the impact of any acquisitions or divestitures of product lines on sales growth rates, we convert current period sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using the previous periods' foreign currency exchange rates and exclude the amount of sales acquired/divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively. We believe that the presentation of adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and organic constant currency growth rates provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.
