LivaNova Reports Third Quarter 2016 Results


LONDON, Nov. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ:LIVN) (LSE:LIVN) (“LivaNova” or the “Company”), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016. 

For the third quarter of 2016, worldwide sales were $295 million, an increase of 3.2 percent on a reported basis and an increase of 2.4 percent on a constant-currency basis1, as compared to the previous year.  On a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis, third quarter 2016 loss per share was $0.03.  Third quarter 2016 adjusted2 diluted earnings per share were $0.78

“While sales performance was below expectations for the quarter, earnings results were positive due to significant leverage in the income statement,” said André-Michel Ballester, Chief Executive Officer.  “Many of our new products continue to perform well, including - AspireSR® used for VNS Therapy, PercevalTM sutureless heart valves, INSPIRETM oxygenators, KORA 250TM pacemakers and PLATINIUMTM defibrillators.  However, we have experienced challenges in Cardiac Surgery, and as a result, we are increasing our focus on driving merger synergies, implementing restructuring activities, maintaining disciplined cost controls and reprioritizing internal research and development spending to focus our efforts on the highest growth drivers.  Overall, I am extremely pleased in our ability to align operating expenses and deliver strong bottom line performance, while investing in short and long-term growth opportunities.”

Three months ended September 30, 2016
For the three business franchises, sales were as follows:

Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac Surgery sales, which include cardiopulmonary products and heart valves, were $149 million, representing a 0.4 percent decrease versus the comparable period in 2015.  The increase in cardiopulmonary was more than offset by the decline in heart valves.

Sales in cardiopulmonary products were $115 million, up slightly from the third quarter of 2015. A decline in the Company’s 3T Heater-Cooler devices, as a result of import restrictions in the U.S. and the timing of heart-lung machine orders in Europe, were more than offset by several items including strong demand for oxygenators, particularly in emerging markets as well as Japan and Australia.

Heart valve sales, including tissue and mechanical heart valves, were $34 million, a decrease of 2.4 percent compared to the same period the previous year.  Strength in Perceval in both the U.S. and Europe was more than offset by weakness in mechanical valves, primarily in China, and traditional tissue valves globally. 

Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM)
CRM sales for the period totaled $57 million, an increase of 3.6 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2015.  The increase was primarily due to positive performance of the Company’s newest high-voltage device PLATINIUM and favorable year-over-year results with its KORA 250 pacemaker.

Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation sales were $90 million in the third quarter, an increase of 6.8 percent over the prior year period, driven primarily by continued adoption of the Company’s newest VNS Therapy device AspireSR and strong new patient growth in the U.S.

Financial Performance
On a U.S. GAAP basis, third quarter 2016 income from operations was $23 million compared to $22 million in the second quarter of 2016.  Adjusted income from operations5 for the third quarter of 2016 was $55 million, an increase of 38 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2015.  This is primarily attributed to a positive mix of sales during the quarter which improved gross margin, sound cost control, delivery of planned synergies and the impact of previously announced restructuring efforts. 

2016 Projections
The Company is modifying its sales guidance and narrowing the range for earnings per share guidance for full year 2016. 

The Company now expects revenue growth on a constant-currency basis to be in the 1 to 2 percent range, and is narrowing the projected range for adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) to $2.95 to $3.05

About LivaNova
LivaNova PLC is a global medical technology company formed by the merger of Sorin S.p.A, a leader in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and Cyberonics Inc., a medical device company with core expertise in Neuromodulation. LivaNova transforms medical innovation into meaningful solutions for the benefit of patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare systems.  The Company employs approximately 4,600 employees worldwide and is headquartered in London, U.K.

LivaNova is listed on NASDAQ and is admitted to the standard listing segment of the Official List of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) under the ticker symbol “LIVN”.

Financial Alignment, Combined Sales & Operating Results, Business Franchise Structure and Constant Currency
Cyberonics, the predecessor company to LivaNova, previously reported on a 52/53 week fiscal year calendar ending in April.  With the formal change in the fiscal calendar to a fiscal year ended December 31, the historical Neuromodulation business franchise sales have been aligned to correspond as closely as possible to calendar quarters.

Although LivaNova was a shell company with no business operations until the closing date of the merger on October 19, 2015, the sales results disclosed for periods up to and beyond that date are being provided on a combined basis, a non-GAAP formulation that combines the results of legacy Sorin and Cyberonics for the periods completed prior to the merger and periods that include results both before and after the closing of the merger.  The Company believes that presenting the results of Sorin and Cyberonics in such a manner offers a meaningful representation to investors of the combined company’s sales for these periods.

Non-GAAP operating results, unaudited, have been included for 2015.  These results have been prepared by management and adjusted for non-GAAP items as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2015 but should not be considered as an alternative to Proforma Income Statements to be provided in accordance with SEC filings.  Certain adjustments to legacy Sorin operating results have occurred in order to present the results in U.S. dollars and to align these results as closely as possible to the presentation of LivaNova financial results.  Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies.  Management believes that the presentation of these results provides a meaningful representation of the combined company’s operating results for the periods presented.

The sales and operating results for legacy Cyberonics for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30 were aligned to provide comparative information. The actual periods ended on March 27, June 26 and September 25 respectively.

LivaNova (as the successor to Sorin and Cyberonics on a combined basis) operates under a Business Franchise structure with Cardiac Surgery, CRM and Neuromodulation accounting for substantially all of the sales during the periods referred to herein.  The combined company also operates a New Ventures group, dedicated to developing new technologies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not necessarily in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies.  These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, the operating performance measure as prescribed by GAAP.

Unless otherwise noted, all sales growth rates in this release reflect comparable, constant currency growth. Management believes that referring to comparable, constant currency growth is the most useful way to evaluate the sales performance of LivaNova and to compare the sales performance of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis. Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in sales between current and prior year periods using average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior year period.
