~ Strong Profit Growth ~~ Increased Full Year Profit Guidance ~

PLANO, Texas, Aug. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE: ITGR), a leading medical device outsource manufacturer, today announced results for the three and six months ended June 28, 2019.

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights (compared to Second Quarter 2018)

• GAAP and Non-GAAP sales from continuing operations were $314 million, flat with prior year.
• GAAP income from continuing operations increased $5 million to $28 million, an increase of 22%. Non-GAAP adjusted income from continuing operations increased $6 million to $41 million, an increase of 17%.
• Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations increased $4 million to $75 million, an increase of 6%.
• GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased $0.15 per share to $0.85 per share, an increase of 21%. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations increased $0.17 per share to $1.23 per share, an increase of 16%.
• Paid down $50 million of debt, reducing total outstanding debt to $863 million, achieving a leverage ratio of 3.1x adjusted EBITDA.

Revised 2019 Full Year Financial Guidance

• Increased adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $277 million to $285 million.
• Increased GAAP diluted EPS guidance to a range of $2.89 to $3.09. Increased non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS guidance to a range of $4.25 to $4.45.

“Integer delivered strong profit growth in the second quarter, on flat revenue which was in line with our expectations,” said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer’s president and chief executive officer. “Strong cash flow generation enabled continued debt leverage reduction to 3.1 times adjusted EBITDA. We continue to execute our operational strategy and have increased our full year profit outlook,” Mr. Dziedzic continued.

Discussion of Product Line Second Quarter 2019 Sales (compared to Second Quarter 2018)

• Cardio & Vascular sales increased 1% with strong peripheral vascular and structural heart growth, offset by the expected impact of an electrophysiology program maturing life cycle and a supplier quality related delay.
• Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales decreased 1% due to difficult prior year comparables and lower growth in Neuromodulation.
• Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical includes sales to the acquirer of our AS&O product line, Viant, under supply agreements entered into as part of the divestiture. GAAP sales declined 6%, and non-GAAP sales declined 2% as portable medical growth is offset by a decline in advanced surgical and orthopedics products.
• Electrochem sales increased 11% due to energy market demand and increased customer market penetration.

2019 Outlook(a)(dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

		GAAP				Non-GAAP(b)
Continuing Operations:		As Reported		Growth		Adjusted		Growth
Sales		$1,265 to $1,280		4% to 5%		$1,265 to $1,280		4% to 6%
Income		$95 to $102		102% to 117%		$140 to $147		13% to 18%
EBITDA		N/A		N/A		$277 to $285		7% to 10%
Earnings per Diluted Share		$2.89 to $3.09		101% to 115%		$4.25 to $4.45		12% to 17%

(a) Except as described below, further reconciliations by line item to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for Adjusted Sales, Adjusted Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“EPS”), all from continuing operations, included in our “2019 Outlook” above, are not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and visibility of the charges excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures.

(b) Adjusted Income and diluted EPS, both from continuing operations, for 2019 are expected to consist of GAAP income from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations, excluding items such as intangible amortization, IP-related litigation costs, consolidation and realignment costs, asset dispositions, severance and loss on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $57 million, pre-tax. The after-tax impact of these items is estimated to be approximately $45 million, or approximately $1.36 per diluted share.Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is expected to consist of Adjusted income from continuing operations, excluding items such as depreciation, interest, stock-based compensation and taxes totaling approximately $138 million.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial InformationIn addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide adjusted sales, adjusted income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic growth rates, all from continuing operations. Adjusted income and adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations consist of GAAP amounts adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) acquisition and integration related charges and expenses, (ii) amortization of intangible assets, (iii) facility consolidation, optimization, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, (iv) asset write-down and disposition charges, (v) charges in connection with corporate realignments or a reduction in force, (vi) certain legal expenses, charges and gains, (vii) unusual or infrequently occurring items, (viii) gain (loss) on equity investments, (ix) extinguishment of debt charges, (x) the net impact of the LSAs entered into as of the closing of the divestiture of the AS&O product line, (xi) the income tax (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xii) certain tax items that are outside the normal provision for the period. Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations are calculated by dividing adjusted income from continuing operations by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. EBITDA from continuing operations is calculated by adding back interest expense, GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, to income from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations consists of EBITDA from continuing operations plus GAAP stock-based compensation and the same adjustments as listed above except for items (ii), (ix), (xi) and (xii).

Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of adjusted sales, all from continuing operations. To calculate organic sales growth rates, we convert current period sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using the previous period’s foreign currency exchange rates and exclude the amount of sales acquired/divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively. Adjusted sales from continuing operations consist of GAAP sales adjusted for item (x) above. Organic growth rates for Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange gains and losses included in other (income) loss, net. We believe that the presentation of adjusted sales, adjusted income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic growth rates, all from continuing operations, provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations.

Net of tax amounts are computed using a 21% U.S. tax rate, and the statutory tax rates in Mexico, Netherlands, Uruguay, Ireland and Switzerland, as adjusted for the existence of net operating losses (“NOLs”). Amortization of intangibles and other operating expense for 2018 have also been adjusted to reflect the estimated impact relating to our disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax, as described in footnote (i) below. Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.

(b) In 2013, we filed suit against AVX Corporation alleging they were infringing our intellectual property. Given the complexity and significant costs incurred pursuing this litigation, we are excluding these litigation expenses from adjusted amounts. This matter proceeded to trial during the first quarter of 2016 and again in the third quarter of 2017 that resulted in a jury awarding damages in the amount of $37.5 million. In March 2018, the court vacated that damage award and ordered a new trial on damages. In the January 2019 retrial on damages, the jury awarded damages in the amount of $22.2 million. On July 31, 2019, the U. S. District Court for the District of Delaware entered an order in the AVX litigation denying AVX’s post-trial motion to overturn the jury verdict in our favor. This proceeding is subject to post-trial proceedings. To date, no gains have been recognized in connection with this litigation. The second quarter 2019 also includes costs associated with responding to a subpoena in connection with a legal matter to which we are a non-party witness.

(c) Amounts include expenses related to implementing our strategy that is designed to better align our resources in order to invest to grow, protect, preserve and to enhance the profitability of our portfolio of products, including focusing our investment in RD&E and manufacturing, improving our business processes and redirecting investments away from projects where the market does not justify the investment. During 2019 and 2018, we incurred charges related to this strategy, which primarily consisted of severance costs and fees for professional services.

(d) Includes expenses related to several initiatives designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiencies and increase manufacturing capacity to accommodate growth. The plan involves the relocation of certain manufacturing operations and expansion of certain of our facilities.

(e) During 2018, we incurred costs primarily related to the closure of our Clarence, NY facility.

(f) Amounts include expenses related to other initiatives not described above, which relate primarily to integration and operational initiatives to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies.

(g) Represents debt extinguishment charges in connection with pre-payments made on our Term Loan B Facility, which are included in interest expense.

(h) Reflects the net impact of the LSAs entered into as of the closing of the divestiture of the AS&O product line. These LSAs govern the sale of products supplied by Viant to the Company for further resale to customers and by the Company to Viant for further resale to customers.

(i) The tax adjustment for 2018 represents the estimated impact relating to our disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax, as mandated by the Tax Reform Act. This disallowed deduction of the GILTI tax (approximately 50% of the total GILTI tax) is due to the Company making use of its U.S. NOLs during 2018. This adjustment makes our Adjusted Diluted EPS from continuing operations more comparable with other global companies that are not subject to this disallowed GILTI tax deduction and more comparable to the Company’s results following the full utilization of its U.S. NOLs.
