Adjusted Diluted EPS Increased by 28%
Free Cash Flow Increased by $17.7 million

PLAINSBORO, N.J., Aug. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2014. Total revenues for the second quarter were $231.4 million, reflecting an increase of $25.8 million, or 12.6%, over the second quarter of 2013.

Organic revenue computed by adjusting GAAP revenues as set forth in the attached reconciliation during the second quarter increased 4% over the second quarter of 2013.

"Overall revenues were in-line with our expectations, driven by strong sales of DuraSeal, which helped gross profit margin," said Peter Arduini, Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our global Neurosurgery business, which was 40% of our total revenue, posted growth across all major product lines."

The Company reported GAAP net income of $4.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014, compared to GAAP net income of $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013.

Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2014, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $22.2 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $14.8 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013.

Integra generated $16.4 million in cash flows from operations and invested $9.4 million in capital expenditures during the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow conversion for the second quarter, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was 31.6% compared to (72.1)% in the second quarter of 2013. Adjusted free cash flow conversion for the twelve trailing months was 30.7%, versus (5.9)% in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $43.4 million, compared to $31.1 million achieved in the second quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2014, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $46.2 million, compared to $33.8 million achieved in the second quarter last year.

Outlook for 2014

The Company continues to expect full year 2014 revenues to be between $920 million and $940 million.

The Company is revising its expectations for GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full year to be between $1.06 and $1.24 to account for additional severance costs and is maintaining guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share of between $2.88 and $3.06.

"We are reiterating our full-year expectations for revenues and adjusted earnings per share, which reflects our confidence in our underlying business, including the strong performance in dural repair as well as our skin and wound businesses," said Glenn Coleman, Integra's Chief Financial Officer.

In accordance with our usual practice, expectations for 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 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 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share for historical periods and in providing adjusted earnings per share guidance.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide adjusted revenues, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion. Adjusted revenues consist of growth in total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates on the current period's revenues, the contribution of revenues from discontinued products in both the current and prior periods' revenues, and the contribution of revenues from the DuraSeal acquisition. 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) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income and, as appropriate (vi) stock-based compensation expense. The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) manufacturing facility remediation costs; (ii) global ERP implementation charges; (iii) structural optimization charges; (iv) certain employee severance charges; (v) discontinued product lines charges; (vi) acquisition-related charges; (vii) certain expenses associated with product recalls; (viii) impairment charges; (ix) convertible debt non-cash interest; (x) intangible asset amortization expense; and (xi) income tax impact from adjustments and other items. 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 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 (i) free cash flow, or (ii) adjusted free cash flow (as applicable) by (iii) adjusted net income.

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to adjusted revenues and GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation and adjusted net income, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share all for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and the adjusted free cash flow and free cash flow conversion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, appear in the financial tables in this release.

Integra believes that the presentation of adjusted revenues and the various adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and adjusted free cash flow 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. 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.

*In the first quarter of 2014, the Company changed its accounting policy for the medical device excise tax to immediately record the expense in selling general and administrative expenses rather than recording it in inventory and subsequently amortizing it in cost of sales. A full reconciliation of the effect of this accounting principle change on Integra's quarterly financial results for 2013 is available on Integra's Investor Relations website at investor.integralife.com. This change had the effect of lowering both GAAP and adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2013 by $1.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share.

Segment revenues and growth in total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, the DuraSeal acquisition and discontinued products are as follows:

*The International segment revenues reflect sales that are actively managed by our International division. This does not constitute all recorded sales outside the U.S., as some Instrument sales and private label (included in U.S. Spine & Other) product sales in those regions are managed by their respective U.S. divisions.

Items included in GAAP net income and location where each item is recorded are as follows:

* For the three months ending June 30, 2014 "Stock-based compensation expense" excludes $3.0 million already included in "Certain employee severance charges" above.

*For the three months ending June 30, 2013 "Depreciation expense" excludes $360 already included in "Structural optimization charges" above.

* Adjusted net income for quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2014 are reconciled above. Adjusted net income for remaining quarters in the twelve months calculation have been previously reconciled and are publicly available in the Quarterly Financial Summary on our website integralife.com in the Investors section under Events & Presentations.

The Company calculates adjusted free cash flow conversion by dividing its adjusted free cash flow by adjusted net income. The Company believes this measure is a useful metric in evaluating the significance of the cash special charges in its adjusted earnings measures.

Items included in GAAP net income guidance and location where each item is expected to be recorded is as follows:
