PLANO, Texas, July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integer Holdings Corporation (:ITGR), a leading medical device outsource manufacturer, today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights (compared to Second Quarter 2022, except as noted)

  • Sales increased 14% to $400 million, with organic growth of 14%.
  • GAAP net income increased $3 million to $24 million, an increase of 15%. Non-GAAP adjusted net income increased $4 million to $38 million, an increase of 11%.
  • GAAP operating income increased $9 million to $42 million, an increase of 27%. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income increased $10 million to $60 million, an increase of 20%.
  • GAAP diluted EPS increased $0.09 per share to $0.71 per share. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS increased $0.10 per share to $1.14 per share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased $10 million to $76 million, an increase of 16%.
  • From the end of 2022, total debt increased $60 million to $985 million and net total debt increased $56 million to $963 million, mostly attributable to fees associated with the $500 million convertible notes and the $35 million related capped call, resulting in a leverage ratio of 3.5 times adjusted EBITDA as of June 30, 2023.

“Integer delivered another strong quarter of sales and profit growth supported by an improving supply chain and labor environment,” said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer’s president and CEO. “As we continue to see strong customer demand across our product lines, we are increasing our full year sales outlook to 12% growth at the midpoint, up 400 basis points. Additionally, we are raising our adjusted operating income outlook to 19% growth at midpoint, up 600 basis points. The execution of our product line and operational strategies will drive sustained above-market growth and margin expansion in 2023 and beyond.”

Discussion of Product Line Second Quarter 2023 Sales

Cardio & Vascular sales increased 15% in the second quarter 2023 compared to the second quarter 2022, driven by continued strong demand across all markets, growth in key products such as guidewires, new product ramps in electrophysiology, and supply chain improvements.Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation sales increased 13% in the second quarter 2023 compared to the second quarter 2022, driven by strong demand, including double-digit growth from emerging customers with PMA (premarket approval) products, and supply chain improvements.Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical sales increased 17% in the second quarter 2023 compared to the second quarter 2022, driven by increased price and demand as a result of the execution of the multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022, and low-single digit growth of Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics.Electrochem sales increased 7% in the second quarter 2023 compared to the second quarter 2022 driven by strong demand in military and environmental market segments partially offset by a decline in the energy market.

(b) Adjusted operating income for 2023 consists of GAAP operating income, excluding items such as amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and restructuring-related charges, and acquisition and integration costs, totaling approximately $72 million, pre-tax.

The after-tax impact of these items is estimated to be approximately $60 million, or approximately $1.78 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to consist of Adjusted net income, excluding items such as depreciation, interest, stock-based compensation and taxes totaling approximately $152 million to $153 million.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we provide adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change rates.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS consist of GAAP amounts adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) certain legal expenses, (iii) restructuring and restructuring- related charges; (iv) acquisition and integration related costs; (v) other general expenses; (vi) (gain) loss on equity investments; (vii) extinguishment of debt charges; (viii) European Union medical device regulation incremental charges, (ix) inventory step-up amortization; (x) unusual, or infrequently occurring items; (xi) the income tax provision (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xii) certain tax items that are outside the normal tax provision for the period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, and amortization expense from intangible assets and financing leases, to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus adding back stock-based compensation and the same adjustments as listed above except for items (i), (vii), (xi) and (xii). Adjusted operating income consists of operating income adjusted for the same items listed above except for items (vi), (vii), (xi) and (xii).

Organic sales change is reported sales growth adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and the contribution of acquisitions. To calculate the impact of foreign currency on sales growth rates, we convert any sale made in a foreign currency by converting current period sales into prior period sales using the exchange rate in effect at that time and then compare the two, negating any effect foreign currency had on our transactional revenue, and exclude the amount of sales acquired or divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change 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. In addition to the performance measures identified above, we believe that net total debt and leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our activities, including the financing of acquisitions and debt repayments. Net total debt is calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. We calculate leverage ratio as net total debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 4 quarters. Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures (acquisition of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), net of proceeds from the sale of PP&E).
