Integer Holdings Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2018 Results

~ Completed Divestiture of Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics Product Lines for $600 million ~
~ Strong 2Q18 Growth in Sales and Profit ~
~ Raises Full Year Earnings Guidance ~

PLANO, Texas, Aug. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE:ITGR), a leading medical device outsource manufacturer, today announced results for the three and six months ended June 29, 2018.

Completed divestiture of AS&O Product Lines for $600 million

  • On July 2, 2018, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, completed the divestiture of Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics product lines to Viant (formerly MedPlast LLC) for $600 million in cash. 
  • On July 10, 2018, paid down debt by $548 million, including $360 million senior notes with 9.125% fixed rate.

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights (Excludes Divested AS&O Product Lines)

  • Sales from continuing operations $314 million, 12% growth.  Non-GAAP adjusted sales from continuing operations were $313 million.
  • GAAP income from continuing operations increased $13 million to $23 million.  Non-GAAP income from continuing operations increased $11 million to $35 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased 26% to $71 million.
  • GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased $0.40 per share to $0.70 per share.  Non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations increased $0.32 per share to $1.06, an increase of 43%.
  • Paid down $25 million of debt in second quarter 2018 and $75 million in first half 2018.

Revised 2018 full year Financial Guidance (Excludes Divested AS&O Product Lines)

  • GAAP EPS guidance decreased by $0.60 to $0.95 to $1.25.  Non-GAAP EPS guidance increased by $0.15 to $3.35 to $3.65 despite lowering sales by approximately $345 million and Adjusted EBITDA by $55 million due to the AS&O divestiture.  Our Non-GAAP EPS guidance was increased primarily due to lower interest expense more than offsetting the divested AS&O operating profit.

“Integer delivered another strong quarter of sales growth and even stronger net income, which enabled continued debt reduction,” said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer’s president and chief executive officer.  “Our second quarter results were consistent with our prior full year guidance.  Non-GAAP EPS guidance increase of $0.15 is a direct result of the AS&O divestiture as our full year interest expense savings exceeds the divested AS&O operating profit.”

“Shortly after the second quarter ended, we completed the sale of our Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics product lines to Viant for $600 million in cash,” Mr. Dziedzic continued.  “The deal structure was extremely cash efficient as we realized approximately $580 million of cash after deal costs, which enabled the repayment of $548 million of debt.  Integer is now a higher margin rate business with increased earnings, higher returns on invested capital, significantly less debt, lower leverage and similar cash flows.  Looking forward, Integer has clear market leadership positions in our remaining product lines, with differentiated technology and increased financial flexibility to invest more aggressively to grow.”

“We remain focused on executing our portfolio strategy to win in the markets we serve and our operational strategy to achieve excellence in everything we do.  We are now better positioned to deliver on our objectives of sales growth above the market, profit growth two times sales growth, and to earn a valuation premium,” Mr. Dziedzic concluded.

Discussion of Second Quarter Financial Results (Excludes Divested AS&O Product Lines)

  • Medical segment sales from continuing operations grew by 13% driven by robust market growth, improved customer relations and penetration in higher growth markets.  Cardio & Vascular sales increase was primarily due to strong market growth in the electrophysiology, neurovascular & peripheral vascular markets.  CRM sales increased from improved market penetration of leads and component products.  Neuromodulation remained strong driven by growth in spinal cord stimulation and cochlear markets.  Advanced Surgical & Orthopedic sales increased from strong growth in Portable Medical and the retained AS&O products.  The second half of 2018 Cardio & Vascular and  Cardiac & Neuromodulation growth rates are expected to be lower due to difficult prior year comparables.
  • Non-Medical segment sales declined by 5% primarily due to timing associated with orders from a military customer.  We expect stronger second half revenue as growth initiatives are achieved.
  • GAAP income from continuing operations was $23 million, compared to $10 million in the prior year.  Non-GAAP adjusted income from continuing operations increased $11 million or 47%, due to the higher volume of sales, lower effective tax rates and the non-recurrence of a non-cash foreign currency charge in the prior year on inter-company loans.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margins improved by 260 basis points to 22.8% in the current year from 20.2% in the prior year.  Sales volume profit contribution and cost reductions continue to outpace price and inflationary pressures.
  • Generated $21 million of cash from operating activities and paid down $25 million of debt during the quarter.

Revised 2018 Outlook(a)
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

    GAAP   Non-GAAP(b)(c)
Continuing Operations:   As Reported   Growth   Adjusted   Growth
Sales   $1,170 to $1,195   3% to 5%   $1,175 to $1,200   4% to 6%
Net Income   $30 to $40   (66)% to (54)%   $110 to $120   11% to 21%
EBITDA   N/A   N/A   $255 to $265   9% to 13%
Earnings per Diluted Share   $0.95 to $1.25   (65)% to (54)%   $3.35 to $3.65   8% to 18%

(a) Our 2018 Outlook has been revised to exclude the divested Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics product lines from the current and prior year. GAAP Net Income and Earnings per Diluted Share as presented above include the effect of discontinued operations and the associated income tax impact from discontinued operations. Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income as presented above consists of income from continuing operations adjusted to exclude the items described in footnote (c) below and to reflect the net impact of the Long-term Supply Agreements (“LSA”) entered into between the Company and Viant (formerly MedPlast LLC) as of the closing of the divestiture of the Advanced Surgical and Orthopedic product lines.  These LSAs govern the sale of products supplied by Viant to the Company for further resale to customers and by the Company to Viant for further resale to customers.  Non-GAAP Adjusted Sales as presented above consists of sales from continuing operations adjusted to exclude the net impact of the LSA.  Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as presented above consists of Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

(b) Except as described below, further reconciliations by line item to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share, included in our “Revised 2018 Outlook” above, are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and visibility of the charges excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.

(c) Adjusted Net Income and EPS for 2018 is expected to consist of GAAP Net Income and EPS, excluding items such as intangible amortization, IP-related litigation costs, consolidation and realignment costs, asset disposition and write-down charges, and loss on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $95 million. The after-tax impact of these items is estimated to be approximately $75 million, or approximately $2.29 per diluted share. Additionally, Adjusted Net Income and EPS is expected to exclude the estimated impact relating to our disallowed deduction of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax, as mandated by the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”). This disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax (approximately 50% of the total GILTI tax) is due to the Company making use of its U.S. net operating losses (“NOLs”), and will be eliminated once the Company’s U.S. NOLs are fully utilized, which is expected to be in 2019. This adjustment makes our Adjusted Diluted EPS more comparable with other global companies that are not subject to this disallowed GILTI tax deduction and more comparable to the Company’s results following the full utilization of its U.S. NOLs.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to consist of Adjusted Net Income, excluding items such as depreciation, interest, stock-based compensation and taxes totaling approximately $145 million.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide adjusted sales, adjusted income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic growth rates, all from continuing operations.  Adjusted income and adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations consist of GAAP amounts adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) acquisition and integration related charges and expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets including inventory step-up amortization, (iii) facility consolidation, optimization, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, (iv) asset write-down and disposition charges, (v) charges in connection with corporate realignments or a reduction in force, (vi) certain litigation expenses, charges and gains, (vii) unusual or infrequently occurring items, (viii) gain (loss) on cost and equity method investments, (ix) extinguishment of debt charges, (x) the net impact of the LSA between the Company and Viant, (xi) the income tax (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xii) certain tax items that are outside the normal provision for the period.  Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations are calculated by dividing adjusted income from continuing operations by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.  Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations consists of GAAP net income (loss) plus (i) the same adjustments as listed above except for items (xi) and (xii), (ii) GAAP stock-based compensation, interest expense, and depreciation, (iii) GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes and (iv) cash gains received from cost and equity method investments during the period.  Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted sales, all from continuing operations.  To calculate organic sales growth rates, we convert current period sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using the previous period’s foreign currency exchange rates and exclude the amount of sales acquired/divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively.  Adjusted Sales from continuing operations consist of GAAP Sales adjusted for item (x) above.  Organic growth rates for Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange gains and losses included in other (income) loss, net. We believe that the presentation of adjusted sales, adjusted income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic growth rates, all from continuing operations, 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.

Diluted weighted average shares for adjusted EPS     32,572             31,833      

(a) The difference between pre-tax and income (loss) amounts is the estimated tax impact related to the respective adjustment.  Income (loss) amounts are computed using a 21% U.S. tax rate (35% U.S. tax rate for 2017 periods), and the statutory tax rates in Mexico, Germany, France, Netherlands, Uruguay, Ireland and Switzerland, as adjusted for the existence of NOLs.  Amortization of intangibles and OOE expense have also been adjusted to reflect the estimated impact relating to our disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax, as described in footnote (i) below.  Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.

(b) In 2013, we filed suit against AVX Corporation alleging they were infringing our intellectual property. Given the complexity and significant costs incurred pursuing this litigation, we are excluding these litigation expenses from adjusted amounts. This matter proceeded to trial during the first quarter of 2016 and again in the third quarter of 2017 that resulted in a jury awarding damages in the amount of $37.5 million.  In March 2018, the court vacated that damage award and ordered a new trial on damages, which is scheduled for January 2019.  To date, no gains have been recognized in connection with this litigation.

(c) As a result of the strategic review of our customers, competitors and markets we undertook during the fourth quarter of 2017, we began to take steps to better align our resources in order to invest to grow, protect, preserve and to enhance the profitability of our portfolio of products. This will include focusing our investment in RD&E and manufacturing, improving our business processes and redirecting investments away from projects where the market does not justify the investment.  As a result, during 2018 we incurred charges related to this strategy, which primarily consisted of severance and fees for professional services.

(d) In 2017, we initiated several initiatives designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiencies and increase manufacturing capacity to accommodate growth.  The plan involves the relocation of certain manufacturing operations and expansion of certain of our facilities.

(e) During 2018 and 2017, we incurred costs primarily related to the closure of our Clarence, NY facility and the transfer of our Beaverton, OR portable medical and Plymouth, MN vascular manufacturing operations to Tijuana, Mexico.

(f) Reflects acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of Lake Region Medical, which occurred in October 2015.

(g) Amounts for 2017 primarily include expenses related to our CEO and CFO transitions.

(h) Represents debt extinguishment charges in connection with pre-payments made on our Term B Loan Facility which are included in interest expense.

(i) Reflects the net impact of the LSAs entered into as of the closing of the divestiture of the Advanced Surgical and Orthopedic product lines. These LSAs govern the sale of products supplied by Viant to the Company for further resale to customers and by the Company to Viant for further resale to customers.

(j) Tax adjustments primarily includes the estimated impact relating to our disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax, as mandated by the Tax Reform Act.  This disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax (approximately 50% of the total GILTI tax) is due to the Company making use of its U.S. NOLs, and will be eliminated once the Company’s U.S. NOLs are fully utilized, which is expected to be in approximately three to five years. This adjustment makes our Adjusted Diluted EPS more comparable with other global companies that are not subject to this disallowed GILTI tax deduction and more comparable to the Company’s results following the full utilization of its U.S. NOLs.
