Integra LifeSciences Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results


Revenue Increased 9.2% to $258.6 million; Organic Revenue Increased 6.4%

 Reported EPS of $0.08; Adjusted EPS of $0.39

PLAINSBORO, N.J., April 26, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:IART), a leading global medical technology company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2017.

Highlights:

  • First quarter revenue increased 9.2% over the prior year quarter to $258.6 million, and organic revenue increased 6.4%. Derma Sciences contributed $10.4 million of revenue to first quarter results;  
      
  • GAAP gross margin increased 230 basis points over the prior year quarter to 66.5%, and adjusted gross margin increased 100 basis points to 70.2%;  
      
  • Operating cash flow increased 15.4% over the prior year quarter to $28.9 million, resulting in free cash flow conversion of 85.1% on a trailing twelve month basis, compared to 65.4% in the prior year period;  
      
  • Closed Derma Sciences acquisition and on track to complete commercial integration by mid-year; 
      
  • Secured financing for the planned acquisition of Codman Neurosurgery; and, 
      
  • Maintaining previously issued 2017 full-year sales, organic growth, EPS and cash flow guidance.

Total revenues for the first quarter were $258.6 million, reflecting an increase of $21.9 million, or 9.2%, over the first quarter of 2016. Both global segments contributed to the growth, with revenue in Orthopedics and Tissue Technologies and Specialty Surgical Solutions increasing by 19.6% and 3.4%, respectively, compared to the prior year.

Excluding the revenue contribution from acquisitions and the effect of currency exchange rates and discontinued products, revenues increased 6.4% over the first quarter of 2016.

"We are off to a solid start in 2017, which gives us increased confidence in delivering on our full-year 2017 financial guidance," said Peter Arduini, Integra's president and chief executive officer. "We completed the acquisition of Derma Sciences, launched several new products that will drive growth in the second half of the year, and remain on track to complete the planned acquisition of Codman Neurosurgery in the fourth quarter of 2017."

The company reported GAAP net income of $6.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017, compared to a GAAP net income of $13.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2016. The year-over-year declines largely resulted from acquisition-related expenses associated with the Derma Sciences and Codman Neurosurgery transactions.

The adjusted measures discussed below are computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2017 was $30.9 million, an increase of 9.3% over the prior year, and compares to adjusted net income of $28.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. Adjusted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2017 was $0.39, compared to $0.38, in the first quarter of 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2017 was $55.2 million, or 21.3% of revenue, compared to $52.1 million, or 22.0% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2016. The slight decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin primarily resulted from the dilution caused by the Derma Sciences acquisition.

Operating cash flow for the first quarter was $28.9 million, an increase of 15.4% from the prior-year period.  Trailing twelve-month adjusted free cash flow conversion ended March 31, 2017 was 85.1%, versus 65.4% in the prior year.

Outlook for 2017

Based on first quarter results and the outlook for the remainder of the year, the company is maintaining its full-year 2017 revenue guidance range of $1.12 billion to $1.14 billion, and full-year 2017 organic revenue growth range of 7.0% to 8.5%. The company also is maintaining its full-year GAAP and adjusted earnings per share guidance ranges of $0.49 to $0.55 and $1.88 to $1.94, respectively.

"Based on our first quarter results and the sequential improvements that we expect over the course of the year, we remain confident that we will achieve our full-year projections," said Glenn Coleman, Integra's chief financial officer. "We also successfully executed and secured an extension of our term loan facility with favorable terms, which we will use to pay for the planned acquisition of Codman Neurosurgery later this year."

In the future, the company may record, or expects to record, certain additional revenues, gains, expenses, or charges as described in the Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures below which will be excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share for historical periods and in adjusted earnings per share guidance.

the risk that competing offers will be made for the Codman Neurosurgery business before the binding offer is accepted; the risk that the binding offer may not be accepted on a timely basis or at all; the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals for the proposed acquisition (including the approval of antitrust authorities necessary to complete the proposed acquisition), the timing of obtaining such approvals and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions, including with respect to divestitures, that could materially adversely affect Integra, the Codman Neurosurgery business and the expected benefits of the proposed acquisition; the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed acquisition may not be satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the failure of the proposed acquisition to close for any other reason and the risk liability to Integra in connection therewith; access to available financing (including financing for the acquisition) on a timely basis and on reasonable terms; the effects of disruption caused by the proposed acquisition making it more difficult for Integra to execute its operating plan effectively or to maintain relationships with employees, vendors and other business partners; stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed acquisition; and  Integra’s ability to successfully integrate the Codman Neurosurgery business and other acquired businesses.

These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide organic revenues, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion.  Organic revenues consist of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, acquired revenues and product discontinuances.  Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income from continuing operations, excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) other income (expense); (iii) interest income and expense; (iv) income taxes; and (v) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income.  The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income from continuing operations, excluding: (i) global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") implementation charges; (ii) structural optimization charges; (iii) certain employee severance charges; (iv) acquisition-related charges; (v) convertible debt non-cash interest; (vi) intangible asset amortization expense; (vii) discontinued product lines charges; and (viii) income tax impact from adjustments and other items.  The measure of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding is calculated by adding the economic benefit of the convertible note hedge transactions relating to Integra's 2016 convertible notes.  The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  The measure of free cash flow consists of GAAP net cash provided by continuing operating activities from continuing operations less purchases of property and equipment.  The adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted net income. 

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to adjusted revenues and GAAP Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share all for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and the free cash flow and free cash flow conversion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the twelve months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, appear in the financial tables in this release.

The Company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and the various adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, free cash flow and free cash flow conversion measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations.  For further information regarding why Integra believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K regarding this earnings press release filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This Current Report on Form 8-K is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.integralife.com
