Integra LifeSciences Reports 2006 Financial Results
PLAINSBORO, N.J., Feb. 28, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2006. Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $125.4 million, reflecting an increase of $52.4 million, or 72%, over the fourth quarter of 2005. Revenues from products acquired in 2006 were $35.6 million for the quarter.
The company reported GAAP net income of $10.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to GAAP net income of $10.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2005. Reported earnings for the fourth quarter of 2006 included $3.8 million of share-based compensation expense related to the implementation of SFAS 123R Share-Based Payment in January 2006. Reported earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 do not reflect the impact of share-based compensation expense.
"We achieved record revenues in the fourth quarter through strong growth in our existing product lines and acquired product sales," said Stuart M. Essig, Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "During the quarter, we also completed the integration of Kinetikos Medical, Inc. (KMI) into our Integra Extremity Reconstruction sales channel, initiated the pivotal United States clinical trial for our DuraGen Plus® Adhesion Barrier Matrix -- the largest clinical study undertaken by Integra in its history -- and launched a sales organization devoted to products for spine surgery."
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $419.3 million, reflecting an increase of $141.4 million, or 51%, over 2005. Revenues from products acquired in 2006 were $98.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The company reported net income of $29.4 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the full year 2006, compared to net income of $37.2 million, or $1.15 per diluted share in 2005.
Integra generated $20.9 million in cash flows from operations in the fourth quarter of 2006 and $71.7 million in all of 2006.
"One of our objectives is to grow operating cash flows, which have accelerated significantly in the past year," said Maureen B. Bellantoni, Integra's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "During the past five years, we have generated in excess of 35% average annual growth in our operating cash flows. This has greatly improved our access to debt capital, which we have increasingly used to support our growth."
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 and years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 appear in the financial statements attached to this release.
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2006, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $15.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2005 adjusted net income was $12.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. Adjusted net income was $52.5 million, or $1.67 per diluted share, for the full year 2006 and $42.1 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, for the full year 2005.
"2006 was a year of significant progress for Integra," said Mr. Essig. "In addition to our fourth quarter accomplishments, we also invested more than $220 million to acquire strategic product lines for each of our three major sales channels, reinvigorated sales growth of existing products and laid the foundation for further growth by launching more than 20 products, adding to our rich product pipeline."
Integra LifeSciences presents its revenues in two categories: a) Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants and b) Medical Surgical Equipment.
The company's revenues for the periods were as follows:
Three Months Year Ended December 31, Ended December 31, 2006 2005 2006 2005 -------- -------- -------- -------- Revenue: ($ in thousands) Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants $ 47,250 $ 35,365 $166,028 $134,583 Medical Surgical Equipment and other 78,144 37,620 253,269 143,352 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total Revenue $125,394 $ 72,985 $419,297 $277,935
Sales of our extremity reconstruction implants and bone growth products led revenue growth in the Neurosurgical and Orthopedic Implants category. Highlights in this category included the following: Integra™ dermal repair product revenues increased 28% over the fourth quarter of 2005, nerve repair product revenues increased by 43% and bone growth products increased by 39% over the fourth quarter of 2005. Sales of recently acquired orthopedic implant products contributed $2.4 million to the increase in neurosurgical and orthopedic implant sales.
In the Medical Surgical Equipment category, acquired products, surgical instruments and ultrasonic surgical systems provided most of the year-over-year growth in product revenues for the fourth quarter. Radionics products, Miltex products and products of other companies sold through our former Canadian distributor (all acquired in 2006) contributed $33.2 million of revenues during the quarter.
Gross margin on total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 was 59%. The company's cost of product revenues included $0.6 million in inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustments from recent acquisitions. These charges reduced our gross margin by one half of a percentage point.
Research and development expense increased $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $5.2 million. The quarter's expense included $1.0 million associated with the recently acquired Radionics and KMI product lines and an additional $0.3 million in-process research and development charge in connection with the KMI acquisition. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we initiated the pivotal United States clinical trial for our DuraGen Plus® Adhesion Barrier Matrix product. In 2006, we increased research and development expenses by $13.8 million, or 115%, over the prior year. The 2006 amount includes a $5.9 million of in-process research and development charges incurred in the third and fourth quarters in connection with the KMI acquisition.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $20.3 million to $45.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, or 37% of revenue, as compared to 35% in the fourth quarter of 2005. Included in this increase was share-based compensation expense of $3.5 million, or 3% of revenue, attributable to the impact of adopting FAS 123R.
Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $20.1 million, a 35% increase over the prior year period.
We reported net interest expense of $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Our effective income tax rate was 39.1% for 2006 and 32.5% in 2005. The increase in the effective income tax rate for 2006 was driven by the nondeductible nature of the $5.9 million in-process research and development charge and the changes in the geographic mix of taxable income attributable to recently acquired businesses. The $5.9 million in-process research and development charge increased our effective income tax rate for 2006 by 4.2 percentage points. We expect an effective income tax rate of approximately 34% for 2007.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, we repurchased 920,605 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $38.2 million. During 2006, we repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares of our common stock for $70.0 million. As of December 31, 2006, there was $36.8 million available for repurchases under our existing share repurchase authorization, which will expire on December 31, 2007.
At December 31, 2006, our cash totaled $22.7 million and we had outstanding borrowings of $100.0 million under our credit facility. In February 2007, we increased the borrowing capacity under our credit facility to $300 million.
We are updating our guidance for the full year 2007 and providing our initial guidance for 2008. We are also providing guidance for each quarterly period of 2007. Our estimates assume foreign currency exchange rates remain unchanged throughout 2007 and 2008. In accordance with our usual practice, our expectations for 2007 and 2008 financial performance do not include the impact of acquisitions or other strategic corporate transactions that have not yet closed.
Our quarterly and full-year revenue and GAAP earnings per share expectations are as follows:
Revenue Earnings Guidance Per Share Period (in millions) Guidance ------------------- ------------- ------------- First Quarter 2007 $117 - $120 $0.32 - $0.34 Second Quarter 2007 $120 - $123 $0.34 - $0.36 Third Quarter 2007 $129 - $132 $0.46 - $0.49 Fourth Quarter 2007 $142 - $145 $0.58 - $0.61
2007 $508 - $520 $1.70 - $1.80
2008 $570 - $590 $2.05 - $2.25
On a quarterly basis, we expect to incur approximately $3.7 million, or $0.08 per share, of compensation expense associated with FAS 123R in 2007 and 2008. This non-cash compensation expense is included in the GAAP earnings per share guidance for 2007 and 2008 provided above.
Although we are not providing adjusted earnings per share guidance for 2007 and 2008, in the future we may record, or expect to record, certain revenues, gains, expenses or charges (such as acquisition-related charges, facility consolidation, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, and certain employee termination and related costs) that we will exclude in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share for historical periods or for providing adjusted earnings per share guidance.

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning future financial performance, including projections for revenues, effective income tax rate, and GAAP earnings per diluted share, and the number of new products expected to be launched in 2007. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from predicted or expected results. Among other things, our ability to maintain relationships with customers of acquired entities, physicians' willingness to adopt our recently launched and planned products, third-party payors' willingness to provide reimbursement for these products, initiatives launched by our competitors, our ability to secure regulatory approval for products in development and our ability to comply with newly-enacted regulations regarding products containing materials derived from animal sources may adversely affect our future product revenues; the geographic mix of taxable income may affect our overall effective income tax rate; our ability to integrate acquired businesses, increase product sales and gross margins, and control non-product costs may affect our earnings, and the success of our product development efforts and our ability to secure regulatory approval for products in development may affect the number of new products launched in 2007. In addition, the economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors identified under the heading "Factors That May Affect Our Future Performance" included in the Business section of Integra's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and information contained in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could affect actual results.
Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures
Adjusted net income consists of net income excluding equity-based compensation charges, acquisition-related charges, charges incurred in connection with the exchange offer of convertible notes and the termination of the interest rate swap agreement, facility consolidation, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, certain employee termination and related costs, charges associated with discontinued product lines, and, on a quarterly basis, income tax expense adjustments related to significant changes in the effective income tax rate during the year. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income for diluted earnings per share by adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Because all equity-based compensation expense is added back in the calculation of adjusted net income, the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to exclude the benefits of unearned equity-based compensation costs attributable to future services and not yet recognized in the financial statements. These unearned equity-based compensation costs are treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares, based on the average trading price of Integra common stock during the period reported, in the calculation of GAAP 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 non-cash expenses and 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 http://www.Integra-LS.com.

(a) The closing price of Integra's common stock on the issuance date of the new convertible notes, which would be settled on a net share settlement basis upon conversion, was higher than the market price trigger of the new notes. Therefore, the new notes are considered demand debt and are classified as current liabilities on the balance sheet because the holders have the option to convert the new notes at any time.
