Integra LifeSciences Reports 2008 Financial Results

PLAINSBORO, N.J., Mar 2, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2008. Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $174.4 million, reflecting an increase of $16.7 million, or 11%, over the fourth quarter of 2007. Total revenues in the full year of 2008 were $654.6 million, reflecting an increase of $104.1 million, or 19%, over the full year of 2007. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, revenues increased 13% and 18%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008. We have broken out our revenues by product category in a table at the end of this press release.

"Despite a challenging economic environment, Integra posted strong results for the full year 2008," said Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Essig. "We are pleased with the strength of our business under the circumstances, in particular our operating cash flow."

The Company reported GAAP net income of $24.8 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reported a $10.0 million deferred income tax benefit related to the restructuring of a German subsidiary.

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

Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2008, computed to exclude the $10.0 million deferred income tax benefit and with the other adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $15.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2007, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $15.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share.

Integra generated $27.1 million in operating cash flows in the fourth quarter and $72.6 million for the full year 2008, a 54% increase over full year 2007.

The Company reported GAAP net income of $34.9 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the full year 2008, compared to GAAP net income of $33.5 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in 2007. Adjusted net income for the full year 2008, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $60.0 million, or $2.09 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the full year 2007, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $47.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share.

The Company is reiterating its revenue and earnings per share guidance for the full year 2009. The Company is anticipating revenues between $720 million and $740 million and expects earnings per share to be between $1.86 and $2.06 on a GAAP basis and between $2.20 and $2.40 on an adjusted basis. We expect revenues in the first quarter of 2009 to be 3-5% lower than the fourth quarter of 2008, and earnings to be disproportionately lower, and that the fourth quarter of 2009 will be the strongest quarter of the year. 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.

Our 2009 GAAP earnings per share guidance includes the impact of the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion ("FSP APB 14-1"), which we implemented on January 1, 2009. FSP APB 14-1 requires that we separately account for the liability and equity components of our convertible debt instruments, which may be settled in cash upon conversion, in a manner that reflects an applicable nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the time that we issued such convertible debt instruments.

In the future the Company may record, or expects 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 non-cash interest expense related to the application of FSP APB 14-1) that it will exclude in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share for historical periods and in providing adjusted earnings per share guidance.

On a quarterly basis, the Company expects to incur approximately $3.8 million, or $0.08 to $0.09 per share, of share-based compensation expense associated with FAS 123R in 2009. This non-cash compensation expense is reflected in both the GAAP and adjusted earnings per share guidance for 2009 provided above.

Integra has scheduled a conference call for 9:00 AM ET on Monday, March 2, 2009 to discuss financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2008 and forward-looking financial guidance. The conference call will be hosted by Stuart Essig, President and Chief Executive Officer of Integra, and will be open to all listeners. Additional forward-looking information may be discussed in a question and answer session following the call.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures

In addition to our GAAP results, we provide adjusted revenues, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share. Adjusted revenues consist of growth in total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates. Adjusted net income consists of net income, excluding (i) acquisition-related charges, (ii) facility consolidation, manufacturing and distribution transfer and system integration charges, (iii) certain employee termination and related costs, (iv) charges associated with discontinued or withdrawn product lines, (v) charges related to restructuring our European subsidiaries, (vi) charges related to litigation matters or disputes, (vii) intangible asset impairment charges, (viii) incremental professional and bank fees related to the delayed closing of financial statements, (ix) charges recorded in connection with terminating defined benefit pension plans, (x) charges relating to the grant of restricted stock units in connection with the extension of the term of the CEO's employment agreement, (xi) non-cash interest expense related to the application of FSP APB 14-1, (xii) the income tax expense/benefit related to these adjustments, (xiii) quarterly adjustments to income tax expense/benefit related to the cumulative impact of changes in estimated tax rates and certain infrequently occurring items, and (xiv) income tax expenses or gains related to restructuring our European subsidiaries. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are calculated by dividing adjusted net income for earnings per diluted share by adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Integra believes that the presentation of adjusted revenues, 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.

     expense were made to reflect what the income tax expense would
     have been based upon a 30% effective income tax rate for the
     year. For 2007, the above $2,756 and $1,996 reductions to income
     tax expense were made to reflect what the income tax expense
     would have been based upon a 37.7% effective income tax rate for
     the year. The adjusted effective income tax rate is the
     effective income tax rate that would have been reported after
     excluding certain infrequently occurring items from the reported
     tax rate.
