Integra LifeSciences Reports First Quarter 2008 Financial Results

PLAINSBORO, N.J., Jun 4, 2008 (PrimeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2008. Total revenues were approximately $156.0 million, reflecting an increase of $33.0 million, or 27%, over the first quarter of 2007. Revenues from products acquired since the beginning of the first quarter of 2007 were $23.2 million for the first quarter of 2008. There were no revenues from such acquired products in the first quarter of 2007. The company reported GAAP net income of $11.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2008, compared to GAAP net income of $9.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2007.

Operating income for the first quarter of 2008 was $20.5 million, a 24% increase over the prior year period. Integra generated approximately $20.3 million in cash flows from operations in the quarter.

In addition to GAAP results, Integra reports adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. A further discussion of these non-GAAP financial measures can be found below, and reconciliations of GAAP net income to adjusted net income and GAAP diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 appear in the financial statements attached to this release.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2008, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $14.4 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. In the first quarter of 2007, adjusted net income, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $9.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.

"Integra posted strong results this quarter," said Stuart Essig, Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with the underlying strength of our business, including both revenue growth and profitability."

Integra LifeSciences presents its revenues in two categories: a) Medical Surgical Equipment and b) Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants.

The company's revenues for the periods were as follows:



                                               Three Months
                                              Ended March 31,
                                             2008         2007
                                           --------     --------
 Revenue: ($ in thousands)
 Medical Surgical Equipment                $ 88,408     $ 75,945
 Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants       67,600       47,087
                                           --------     --------
    Total Revenue                          $156,008     $123,032

Growth in the Medical Surgical Equipment category was led by sales of product lines acquired after the beginning of the first quarter of 2007, which contributed $12.7 million of equipment product revenues during the first quarter of 2008. There were no corresponding acquired revenues in the first quarter of 2007. During 2008, we expect internally generated revenue growth in our Medical Surgical Equipment category to be lower than in recent periods as we continue to integrate acquisitions, and focus on improving the profitability of these product lines.

In the Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants category, internal growth continues to be strong. Sales of dermal repair products, the DuraGen(R) family of products, collagen-based bone growth products, and extremity reconstruction implants led revenue growth in the Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants category. Sales of product lines acquired after the beginning of the first quarter of 2007, which consists of the products acquired from IsoTis, contributed $10.5 million of implant product revenues during the first quarter of 2008. There were no such acquired revenues in the first quarter of 2007.

Gross margin on total revenues in the first quarter of 2008 was 60.1%. Cost of goods sold included $3.2 million in charges for inventory fair value purchase accounting from the Precise Dental and IsoTis acquisitions and charges for restructuring activities. These charges adversely affected the gross margin by over 2 percentage points.

Research and development expense was $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $6.1 million in the year ago period.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased to $62.5 million in the first quarter of 2008, or 40% of revenue, compared to $49.1 million, or 40% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2007 and down sequentially from 41% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2007. Substantial increases in the size of the company's sales and marketing organizations, the addition of several acquired entities and higher expenses for corporate staff and consulting accounted for most of the increase in selling, general and administrative expense over the prior year. As the company gains more leverage from its selling organizations, decreases its reliance on outside consultants and fully integrates the IsoTis, LXU and Precise acquisitions, it expects selling, general and administrative expenses to decrease to between 38% and 40% of revenue during 2008.

Net interest expense was $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2008 as compared to $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2007.

Other income was $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2008 reflecting the impact of the euro's strength on foreign-currency denominated balances among the company's subsidiaries.

Integra reported an effective income tax rate of 37.5% for the first quarter of 2008.

At March 31, 2008, cash totaled $199 million. Prior to quarter end, the company borrowed $120 million under its credit facility in anticipation of funding the payment of its maturing 2-1/2% Contingent Convertible Subordinated Notes. Holders who converted notes, with the net share settlement feature, prior to maturity received the principal amount in cash and the net share amount in stock. Approximately 768,000 new shares were issued and $120 million dollars in cash was used to settle these notes, later in the first quarter and early in the second quarter.

As of March 31, 2008, there was $54.5 million available for repurchases under the existing share repurchase authorization, which will expire on December 31, 2008. Integra did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the first quarter.

Full year guidance for revenues and adjusted earnings per share remains unchanged. The company has updated quarterly guidance for the remaining three quarters of the year to maintain its full year revenue and earnings per share guidance in light of first quarter actual results. These estimates assume foreign currency exchange rates remain unchanged from current rates throughout 2008. In accordance with usual practice, expectations for 2008 financial performance do not include the impact of acquisitions or other strategic corporate transactions that have not yet closed.

In the future the company may record, or expect to record, certain additional revenues, gains, expenses or charges (such as acquisition-related charges, facility consolidation, manufacturing and distribution transfer and system integration charges, and certain employee termination and related costs) that it will exclude in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share for historical periods and in providing adjusted earnings per share guidance.

In 2008, Integra anticipates various additional acquisition related charges from the IsoTis and Precise acquisitions. It also anticipates facility consolidation, manufacturing and distribution transfer and system integration charges related to various projects including the consolidation of the Integra Pain Management business into Salt Lake City, continued transfer of manufacturing to Puerto Rico and Oracle implementation activities in its Ohio and European facilities. Finally, in the second quarter, the Company anticipates incremental audit, legal and/or bank fees related to the delay in completing the audit of its 2007 financial statements. These anticipated charges are outlined in the "Reconciliation of non-GAAP adjustments - guidance" table at the end of this release.

Quarterly and full-year revenue and earnings per share expectations are as follows:

                    Guidance        Per Share       Earnings Per

On a quarterly basis, the company expects to incur approximately $3.9 million, or $0.09 per share, of share-based compensation expense associated with FAS 123R in 2008. This non-cash compensation expense is included in both the GAAP and adjusted earnings per share guidance for 2008 provided above.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share. Adjusted net income consists of net income excluding (i) acquisition-related charges, (ii) certain employee termination and related costs, (iii) facility consolidation, manufacturing and distribution transfer and system integration charges, (iv) charges associated with discontinued or withdrawn product lines, (v) incremental audit, legal and/or bank fees related to the delay in the filing of our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and (vi) the income tax expense/benefit related to these adjustments. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income for earnings per diluted share by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Integra believes that the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share provides 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.integra-LS.com.
