ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On February 27, 2018, Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item. In the financial statements portion of the Press Release, the Company has included a reconciliation of GAAP revenues to organic revenues for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, GAAP net income to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, GAAP net income to adjusted net income for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding to adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and GAAP operating cash flow to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion used by management for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 as well as GAAP net income to adjusted net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share used by management for guidance for the year 2018. In addition, the Company included a supplemental disclosure of revenue by reporting segments in the financial statements portion of the Press Release.

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the Press Release and selected historical financial information) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the Press Release and selected historical financial information) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures
In addition to our GAAP results, we provide organic revenues, adjusted 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. The various measures of adjusted EBITDA consist of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) other income (expense), (iii) interest income and expense, (iv) income taxes, (v) and those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income. The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, 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; (viii) income tax impact from adjustments and other items; and (ix) hurricane related expenses. 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 operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. The measure of adjusted free cash flow consists of free cash flow adjusted for certain one-time unusual items. The adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted net income.    

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 adjusted free cash flow conversion measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures in the form of organic revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion when evaluating operating performance because we believe that the inclusion or exclusion of the items described below, for which the amounts and/or timing may vary significantly depending upon the Company's acquisition, integration, and restructuring activities, for which the amounts are non-cash in nature, or for which the amounts are not expected to recur at the same magnitude, provides a supplemental measure of our operating



results that facilitates comparability of our financial condition and operating performance from period to period, against our business model objectives, and against other companies in our industry. We have chosen to provide this information to investors so they can analyze our operating results in the same way that management does and use this information in their assessment of our core business and the valuation of our Company.

Organic revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are significant measures used by management for purposes of:
supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to the Company's board of directors;
evaluating, managing and benchmarking the operating performance of the Company;
establishing internal operating budgets;
determining compensation under bonus or other incentive programs;
enhancing comparability from period to period;
comparing performance with internal forecasts and targeted business models; and
evaluating and valuing potential acquisition candidates.

The measure of organic revenues that we report reflects the increase in total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 adjusted for the effects of currency exchange rates, acquired revenues, and product discontinuations on current period revenues. We provide this measure because changes in foreign currency exchange rates can distort our revenue reduction favorably or unfavorably, depending upon the strength of the U.S. dollar in relation to the various foreign currencies in which we generate revenues. We generate significant revenues outside the United States in multiple foreign currencies. We believe this measure provides useful information to determine the success of our international selling organizations in increasing sales of products in their local currencies without regard to fluctuations in currency exchanges rates, for which we do not control. Additionally, significant acquisitions and discontinued product lines can distort our current period revenues when compared to prior periods.

The measure of adjusted net income reflects GAAP net income adjusted for one or more of the following items, as applicable:
Global ERP implementation charges. Global ERP implementation charges consist of the non-capitalizable portion of internal labor and outside consulting costs related to the implementation of a global ERP system. We have inherited many diverse business processes and different information systems through our numerous acquisitions. Accordingly, we are undertaking this initiative in order to standardize business processes globally and to better integrate all of our existing and acquired operations using one information system. Although recurring in nature given the expected timeframe to complete the implementation for our existing operations and our expectation to continue to acquire new businesses and operations, management excludes these charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company because the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of the Company's implementation activities.
Structural optimization charges. These charges, which include employee severance and other costs associated with exit or disposal of facilities, costs related to transferring manufacturing and/or distribution activities to different locations, and rationalization or enhancement of our organization, existing manufacturing, distribution, administrative, functional and commercial infrastructure. Some of these cost-saving and efficiency-driven activities are identified as opportunities in connection with acquisitions that provide the Company with additional capacity or economies of scale. Although recurring in nature given management's ongoing review of the efficiency of our organization and structure, including manufacturing, distribution and administrative facilities and operations, management excludes these items when evaluating the operating performance of the Company because the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of the Company's rationalization activities and are, in some cases, dependent upon opportunities identified in acquisitions, which also vary in frequency and magnitude.
Certain employee severance charges. Certain employee severance and related charges consist of charges related to senior management level terminations and certain significant reductions in force that are not initiated in connection with restructuring. Management excludes these items when evaluating the Company's operating



performance because these amounts do not affect our core operations and because of the infrequent and/or large scale nature of these activities.
Acquisition-related charges. Acquisition-related charges include (i) up-front fees and milestone payments that are expensed as incurred in connection with acquiring licenses or rights to technology for which no product has been approved for sale by regulatory authorities and such approval is not reasonably assured at the time such up-front fees or milestone payments are made, (ii) inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments, (iii) changes in the fair value of contingent consideration after the acquisition date, (iv) costs related to acquisition integration, including systems, operations, retention and severance and (v) legal, accounting and other outside consultants expenses directly related to acquisitions or divestitures. Inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments consist of the increase to cost of goods sold that occur as a result of expensing the “step up” in the fair value of inventory that we purchased in connection with acquisitions as that inventory is sold during the financial period. Although recurring given the ongoing character of our development and acquisition programs, these acquisition, divestiture and in-licensing related charges are not factored into the evaluation of our performance by management after completion of development programs or acquisitions because they are of a temporary nature, they are not related to our core operating performance and the frequency and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our development, acquisition and divestiture transactions as well as the level of inventory on hand at the time of acquisition.
Discontinued product lines charges. These charges represent charges taken in connection with product lines that the Company discontinues. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company’s operating performance because discontinued products do not provide useful information regarding the Company’s prospects for future performance.
Intangible asset amortization expense. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because it is a non-cash expense.
Convertible debt non-cash interest. The convertible debt accounting requires separate accounting for the liability and equity components of the Company's convertible debt instruments, which may be settled in cash upon conversion, in a manner that reflects an applicable non-convertible debt borrowing rate at the time that we issued such convertible debt instruments. Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company's operating performance because of the non-cash nature of the expense.
Income tax impact from adjustments and other items. Estimated impact on income tax expense related to the following:
(i)
Adjustments to income tax expense for the amount of additional tax expense that the Company estimates that it would record if it used non-GAAP results instead of GAAP results in the calculation of its tax provision, based on the statutory rate applicable to jurisdictions in which the above non-GAAP adjustments relate.
(ii)
When we calculate the adjusted tax rate, we include a full year estimate for all discrete items. We then apply that full year rate to the year-to-date results and calculate the current quarter’s rate to arrive at the year-to-date adjusted tax rate. We believe this removes significant variability in our results and creates a more operationally consistent result for our investors to use for comparability purposes. Specifically, the adoption of the FASB Update No. 2016-09 accounting standard has the effect of generating a significant tax expense benefit in each of the first three quarters of 2016. For the adjusted tax rate, we are treating this as a rate item, which is consistent with how other discrete tax expense items are handled in our current adjusted tax expense measure.
Hurricane related expenses. In September 2017, Hurricane Maria caused disruption and minor damage to our facility in Anasco, Puerto Rico.  The Company incurred expenses, including idle capacity, to restore the facility to its normal operations.  Management excludes this item when evaluating the Company’s performance because of the infrequent nature of this activity.




Weighted average shares used to calculate GAAP diluted EPS includes the convertible notes and warrant transactions because they are dilutive. The measure of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate adjusted diluted EPS includes the effect of the convertible notes hedge transactions, which is anti-dilutive. Integra believes the non-GAAP measure is useful for understanding the economic benefit of the convertible notes hedge transactions.

Organic revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the revenues, costs or benefits associated with the operations of the Company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. The Company expects to continue to acquire businesses and product lines and to incur expenses of a nature similar to many of the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from its adjusted financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all of these revenue adjustments or costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Some of the limitations in relying on the adjusted financial measures are:
The Company periodically acquires other companies or businesses, and we expect to continue to incur acquisition-related expenses and charges in the future. These costs can directly impact the amount of the Company's available funds or could include costs for aborted deals which may be significant and reduce GAAP net income.
The Company has initiated a long term effort to implement a global ERP system, and we expect to continue to incur significant systems implementation charges until that effort is completed. These costs can directly impact the amount of the Company's available funds and reduce GAAP net income.
All of the adjustments to GAAP net income have been tax affected at the Company's actual tax rates. Depending on the nature of the adjustments and the tax treatment of the underlying items, the effective tax rate related to adjusted net income could differ significantly from the effective tax rate related to GAAP net income.

In the financial tables portion of the Press Release, the Company has included a reconciliation of GAAP reported revenues to organic revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, GAAP net income to adjusted net income, GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding to adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding, GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share, and GAAP operating cash flow to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion used by management for the quarters ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Also included are reconciliations for future periods.

Integra LifeSciences Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Financial Results
The company reported 2017 fourth quarter revenue of $368.6 million, GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.56 and adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.64, ahead of preliminary results announced on January 8, 2018.

Plainsboro, New Jersey, February 27, 2018 - Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: IART) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2017.

Highlights:
The Company completed the acquisition of Codman Neurosurgery, the largest in its history, on October 2, 2017;
Reported revenue for the full-year 2017 was $1,188.2 million, an increase of 19.8%, or $196.2 million over the prior year; acquisitions contributed $162.1 million to the full year, while organic sales were higher by 4.6% over the prior year;
Fourth quarter revenue was $368.6 million, an increase of 44.2%, or $112.9 million over the prior year quarter; acquisitions contributed $103.3 million to the fourth quarter, while organic sales were higher by 5.8% over the prior year quarter;
Fourth quarter GAAP earnings per diluted share amounted to $0.56, a 60% increase over the prior year period, and includes a net tax benefit of $37.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, associated with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act;
Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share amounted to $0.64, a 23% increase over the prior year period;
Full-year 2017 GAAP earnings per diluted share amounted to $0.82, a 12.8% decrease over the prior year; Full-year adjusted earnings per diluted share amounted to $1.94, a 10.2% increase over the prior year, which represents the fourth consecutive year of double-digit adjusted earnings per diluted share growth; and




The Company now expects to be at the high-end of its previously provided full-year 2018 revenue guidance range of $1.46 billion to $1.48 billion, largely due to favorable foreign currency exchange rates. The Company expects full-year GAAP earnings per diluted share to be in a range of $0.60 to $0.70, and also expects full-year adjusted earnings per diluted share to be at the high-end of its previously provided range of $2.25 to $2.35, due to a lower expected tax rate associated with the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Total revenues for the full year 2017 were $1,188.2 million, an increase of $196.2 million, or 19.8%, over the prior year. Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $368.6 million, an increase of $112.9 million, or 44.2%, over the fourth quarter of 2016.
Organic revenues for the full year 2017, as set forth in the attached reconciliation, increased 4.6% over the prior year, while fourth quarter organic revenues were higher by 5.8% over the fourth quarter of 2016.
"2017 was a transformative year for Integra. We closed the two largest acquisitions in the Company's history, expanded our regenerative portfolio with new, innovative products and successfully executed the global launch of CUSA® Clarity, a significant upgrade to our tissue ablation platform," said Peter Arduini, Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to 2018 and another year of strong revenue growth, margin expansion and improving profitability."
The Company reported GAAP net income of $64.7 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the full year 2017, compared to GAAP net income of $74.6 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, in 2016.
The Company reported GAAP net income of $44.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to GAAP net income of $28.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
In 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act resulted in the Company recognizing a net income tax benefit of $37.9 million. This includes a $43.4 million benefit from the re-measurement of deferred taxes as a result of the reduction in U.S. corporate tax rates from 35% to 21%, offset by a one-time toll charge of $5.5 million imposed on deemed repatriation of foreign untaxed earnings.
Adjusted measures discussed below are computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation.
Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2017 was $269.5 million, an increase of $37.8 million, over the prior year. For the full year 2017, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue declined from 23.4% in 2016 to 22.7% in 2017, largely resulting from the dilution of the Derma Sciences acquisition and higher sales channel investments.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $88.7 million, an increase from $66.5 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. For the fourth quarter of 2017, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was 24.1%, compared to 26.0% in the prior year period.
Adjusted net income for the full year 2017 was $153.4 million, or $1.94 per diluted share, compared to $135.3 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, in 2016. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2017 was $51.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $40.7 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, cash flows from operations totaled $114.5 million. Capital expenditures were $43.5 million. Adjusted free cash flow conversion for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2017 was 46.3% versus 82.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, due to significant one-time cash outlays associated with the acquisition integrations. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company generated $11.6 million of cash flows from operations, and incurred capital expenditures of $13.7 million.

Outlook for 2018
The Company is reiterating its full-year 2018 revenue guidance in the range of $1.46 billion to $1.48 billion, and now expects to be at the high end of the range due primarily to more favorable foreign currency rates.




The Company expects GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full year to be between $0.60 and $0.70, and adjusted earnings per diluted share to be at the high end of its previously provided range of $2.25 to 2.35, due primarily to a lower expected tax rate from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
"Given our strong close to the year, the momentum in our businesses, and the benefit of a lower tax rate, we remain confident that we will deliver 5% organic growth and adjusted earnings per share at the high-end of our range," said Glenn Coleman, Chief Financial Officer. "Consistent with previous guidance, we expect first quarter organic growth to be in the low single-digits as we work through the sales channel integration in both of our segments, which we believe will result in higher organic growth in the second half of 2018."

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 that it will exclude in the calculation of organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for historical periods and in providing adjusted EPS guidance.

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; and (vii) discontinued product lines charges; (viii) income tax impact from adjustments; and (ix) hurricane related expenses 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 quarters and years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the free cash flow and free cash flow conversion for the quarters and years ended December 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.
