Codman Specialty Surgical (~70% of Revenues)

Total revenues were $256.4 million, representing reported growth of 3.3% and organic growth of 4.4% compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Sales in Neurosurgery grew 6.3% on an organic basis. Key drivers for the quarter include:

  • Sales in international markets grew high-single digits

Tissue Technologies (~30% of Revenues)

Total revenues were $112.4 million, representing reported decline of 15.3% and organic decline of 15.3% compared to the first quarter of 2023 primarily driven by the Impact of the Boston product recall. Tissue Technologies sales were down 4.4% excluding Boston. Additional drivers for the quarter include:

  • Triple-digit growth for DuraSorb®
  • Mid-double-digit growth in Gentrix®
  • Low double-digit decline in Integra Skin, MediHoney® and MicroMatrix®

  • Growth in DuraSorb® ahead of the deal model, acquisition-to-date
  • Expanded the UBM platform with the launch of MicroMatrix® Flex

Boston Update

  • Third-party audit yielded more findings than anticipated
  • Currently evaluating the timeline to address the findings and resume commercial distribution
  • Removing SurgiMend and PriMatrix from 2024 guidance

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

The Company generated cash flow from operations of $15.8 million in the quarter. Total balance sheet debt and net debt at the end of the quarter were $1.86 billion and $1.20 billion, respectively, and the consolidated total leverage ratio was 3.2x.

As of quarter end, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $1.54 billion, including $663 million in cash plus short-term investments and the remainder available under its revolving credit facility.

2024 Outlook

For the full year 2024, the Company is updating its revenue and adjusted EPS expectations to $1.672 to $1.687 billion and $3.01 to $3.11, respectively. The revenue range represents reported growth of 8.4% to 9.4%, with organic growth of 3.3% to 4.3%, reflecting the completion of the Acclarent acquisition and the removal of approximately $10 million of revenue from the relaunch of SurgiMend and PriMatrix beginning in the second half.

For the second quarter 2024, the Company expects reported revenues in the range of $411 million to $416 million, representing reported growth of 7.8% to 9.1% and organic growth of 1.3% to 2.6%, reflecting the better than expected first quarter performance and the completion of the Acclarent acquisition. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.60 to $0.65.

The Company’s organic sales growth guidance for the second quarter and the full-year excludes acquisitions and divestitures, as well as the effects of foreign currency.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP measures, including organic revenues, organic revenues excluding Boston, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted earnings per diluted share, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow conversion, and net debt.  Organic revenues consist of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from current-period acquisitions and product divestitures. Organic revenues excluding Boston consist of total revenues, excluding (i) the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from current-period acquisitions and product divestitures and (ii) revenues associated with Boston produced products including sales reported prior to the recall and the impact of sales return provisions recorded. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) other income (expense); (iii) interest income and expense; (iv) income tax expense (benefit); and (v) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income.  The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) structural optimization charges; (ii) divestiture, acquisition and integration-related charges; (iii) EU Medical Device Regulation-related charges; (iv) charges related to the voluntary global recall of products manufactured at the Company’s Boston, Massachusetts facility (the “recall”); (v) intangible asset amortization expense; and (vi) income tax impact from adjustments.  The measure of adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by total revenues. Adjusted gross profit consists of GAAP gross profit adjusted for: (i) structural optimization charges; (ii) divestiture, acquisition and integration-related charges; (iii) charges related to the recall; (iv) EU Medical Device Regulation-related charges; and (v) intangible asset amortization expense. The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by 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 adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted net income. The measure of net debt consists of GAAP total debt (excluding deferred financing costs) less short-term investments, cash and cash equivalents.

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to organic revenues, GAAP revenues to organic revenues excluding Boston, GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income, GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit, GAAP gross margin to adjusted gross margin, GAAP total debt to net debt, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share all for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the GAAP operating cash flow to free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, appear in the financial tables in this release.

The Company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and the other non-GAAP 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.
