Revenue In Line with Guidance

Cash Flows from Operations of $31 Million

PLAINSBORO, N.J., Oct. 28, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2013. Total revenues for the third quarter were $213.2 million, reflecting an increase of $3.2 million over the third quarter of 2012. Currency exchange rates had a negligible effect on revenues.

"We have made significant progress on our objectives over the past several months," said Peter Arduini, Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Today, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire strategic product lines for our neurosurgery business, and last week, we announced our plans to consolidate two of our manufacturing facilities and expand our product rationalization efforts, which bring us closer to achieving our growth and optimization goals. In addition, our supply chain and operations team executed very well, exceeding their regenerative medicine supply objectives, and our overall business delivered third quarter results within our guidance range."

The Company recorded a pre-tax non-cash charge for goodwill impairment of $46.7 million related to the Company's U.S. Spine reporting unit, within the U.S Spine and Other reportable segment, during the third quarter. The Company conducts annual impairment tests during the third quarter. A number of factors have resulted in a change in the outlook for the spine market in the U.S., including pressure from payers on utilization of certain types of procedures and on reimbursement rates and prices generally. The change in outlook for the market, together with ongoing Company-specific challenges related to the U.S. Spine reporting unit, contributed to the decrease in the implied fair value of the unit compared with prior year.

The Company reported GAAP net loss of $(28.6) million, or $(1.02) per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013, compared to GAAP net income of $13.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2013, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $20.4 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $24.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2012.

Integra generated $30.8 million in cash flows from operations and invested $13.2 million in capital expenditures during the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2013, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $38.0 million, compared to $46.0 million achieved in the third quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation for the third quarter of 2013, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $40.8 million, compared to $48.3 million achieved in the third quarter last year.

Outlook for 2013

The Company expects full year 2013 revenues of $838 million to $843 million. The Company is revising its expectations for GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full year to be between $(0.56) and $(0.46) and for adjusted earnings per diluted share to be between $2.50 and $2.60.

"We are tightening our revenue guidance to the bottom end of our previous range, primarily reflecting softness in key private label products and weakness in our spine business," said Jack Henneman, Integra's Chief Financial Officer. "We have, however, kept a tight control on expenses, and are narrowing our guidance for adjusted earnings per share around our previous midpoint. We are pleased with the strong cash flows the business generated during the quarter."

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 and adjusted earnings per diluted share. Adjusted revenues consist of growth in total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates on the current period's revenues and the contribution of revenues from discontinued products in both the current and prior periods' revenues. The various measures of adjusted EBITDA consist of GAAP net (loss)/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 (loss)/income, excluding: (i) manufacturing facility remediation costs; (ii) global ERP implementation charges; (iii) facility optimization charges; (iv) certain employee termination charges; (v) discontinued product lines charges; (vi) acquisition-related charges; (vii) certain expenses associated with product recalls; (viii) convertible debt non-cash interest; (ix) goodwill impairment charge; (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. Because the Company reported a GAAP net loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the calculation of GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter and year to date 2013 periods exclude the effects of stock options and unvested restricted stock, as the effect of these equity awards would be anti-dilutive. The Company included the dilutive effects of these equity awards in the calculation of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate adjusted earnings per diluted share for the third quarter and year to date 2013 periods because their effects are dilutive in relation to adjusted net income.

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to adjusted revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and GAAP net (loss)/income to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation and adjusted net income, and GAAP (losses)/earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 appear in the financial tables in this release.

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