“Integer delivered strong year-over-year financial results in the fourth quarter and full year 2021 despite a challenging labor and supply chain environment. Looking forward to 2022, we expect our year-over-year sales and profit growth to increase throughout the year. The growth will come from the execution of our strategy as well as the integration of Oscor, which is well underway,” said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer’s president and CEO.

Mr. Dziedzic continued, “During 2021 we protected our associates, delivered for our customers and patients, strengthened our culture, and remained focused on executing our strategy. Integer’s unique position is enabling us to serve our customers through all phases of their products’ lifecycles. Our customers are rewarding us with more development programs in high-growth markets, in support of their product roadmaps. We are confident that our structured and disciplined product line strategy process combined with our targeted investments in high-growth markets will drive sustained above-market growth.”

Discussion of Product Line Fourth Quarter and Full Year Sales

  • Cardio & Vascular sales increased 19% in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020 and full year sales increased 10% year-over-year. Strong double-digit year-over-year sales increases in the fourth quarter across all C&V markets, with particular strength in the neurovascular market, despite end market demand fluctuations and supply chain constraints. Full year sales exceeded 2019 pre-pandemic level, with neurovascular and structural heart both growing double-digits compared to 2019.
  • Cardiac & Neuromodulation sales increased 19% in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020 and full year sales increased 29% year-over-year. Strong year-over-year fourth quarter sales increases across all markets, despite end market demand fluctuations and supply chain constraints, with both Cardiac Rhythm Management and Neuromodulation increasing double-digits. Neuromodulation full year sales exceeded pre-pandemic levels and grew high single-digits compared to 2019 when normalized to exclude $17 million of 2019 sales to Nuvectra. Nuvectra filed for bankruptcy in the fourth quarter of 2019.
  • Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical includes sales under supply agreement to the acquirer of our divested AS&O product line. Fourth quarter 2021 sales declined 10% compared to fourth quarter 2020 and full year sales decreased 10% year-over-year. Sales decline in the fourth quarter driven by reductions in demand for COVID-related ventilator and patient monitoring components. Full year sales reflect double-digit decline in Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics, the divested product line currently under supply agreement, and low single-digit decline in Portable Medical driven by lower demand for COVID-related ventilators and patient monitoring components.
  • Electrochem sales increased 34% in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to fourth quarter 2020 and full year sales increased 8% year-over-year. Strong fourth quarter growth reflects continued energy market recovery. Full year sales growth reflects moving from a period of energy market contraction to recovery beginning in the second quarter of 2021.

2022 Outlook(a)

  • Sales growth projected to be 10% to 12%, organic growth of 5% - 7%.
    • Expect 1Q22 sales to be similar to 4Q21, constrained by COVID surge impact on labor and supply chain
    • Expect 2Q22 sales to be better than 1Q22 from reduced impact of January’s COVID surge and supply chain volatility
    • Anticipate strong second-half sales growth from improved labor, supply chain, and new product introductions
  • Operating income guidance assumes supply chain and labor constraints improve in the second half.
  • Expect free cash flow to be in the range of $90 to $105 million.

(a) Except as described below, further reconciliations by line item to the closest corresponding GAAP financial measure for Adjusted operating income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, organic sales growth and Adjusted Earnings per Share (“EPS”), all from continuing operations, and free cash flow, included in our “2022 Outlook” above, and Adjusted interest expense and Adjusted effective tax rate below, 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 operating income for 2022 is expected to consist of GAAP operating income, excluding items such as intangible amortization, certain legal expenses, reorganization and realignment costs, asset dispositions and severance, totaling approximately $69 million, pre-tax. Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS for 2022 are expected to consist of GAAP net income and diluted EPS, excluding items such as intangible amortization, certain legal expenses, reorganization and realignment costs, asset dispositions, severance, gains and losses on equity investments and loss on extinguishment of debt totaling approximately $70 million, pre-tax. The after-tax impact of these items is estimated to be approximately $55 million, or approximately $1.63 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to consist of Adjusted net income, excluding items such as depreciation, interest, stock-based compensation and taxes totaling approximately $124 to $126 million.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we provide adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change rates, all from continuing operations. Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS consist of GAAP amounts from continuing operations adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) acquisition and integration related expenses, including fair value adjustments to contingent consideration resulting from acquisitions, (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 income tax provision (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xi) certain tax items that are outside the normal tax provision for the period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes from continuing operations, depreciation and amortization expense, to income from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus adding back stock-based compensation and the same adjustments as listed above except for items (ii), (ix), (x) and (xi). Adjusted operating income consists of operating income from continuing operations adjusted for the same items listed above except for items (viii), (ix), (x) and (xi).

Organic sales change is reported sales growth adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and the contribution of acquisitions. To calculate the impact of foreign currency on sales growth rates, we convert any sale made in a foreign currency by converting current period sales into prior period sales using the exchange rate in effect at that time and then compare the two, negating any effect foreign currency had on our transactional revenue, and exclude the amount of sales acquired or divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change rates, 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. In addition to the performance measures identified above, we believe that net total debt, free cash flow and leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our activities, including the financing of acquisitions and debt repayments. Net total debt is calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. We calculate leverage ratio as net total debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 4 quarters. Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures (acquisition of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), net of proceeds from the sale of PP&E).

(a) The difference between pre-tax and net of tax amounts is the estimated tax impact related to the respective adjustment. Net of tax amounts are computed using a 21% U.S. tax rate, and the statutory tax rates applicable in foreign tax jurisdictions, as adjusted for the existence of net operating losses (“NOLs”). Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.

(b) Expenses associated with non-ordinary course legal matters. The full year 2020 also include a net gain of $28.2 million recorded during the third quarter of 2020 in connection with the resolution of the AVX Corporation patent litigation matter.

(c) OOE includes acquisition and integration related expenses, facility consolidation, optimization, manufacturing transfer and system integration charges, asset write-down and disposition charges, charges in connection with corporate realignments or a reduction in force, unusual or infrequently occurring items. OOE for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 includes $2.0 million of acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Oscor. OOE for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 includes a $1.5 million adjustment to reduce the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities.

(d) The charges represent incremental costs of complying with the new European Union medical device regulations for previously registered products and primarily include charges for contractors supporting the project and other direct third-party expenses.

(e) In November 2019, one of our customers, Nuvectra Corporation, filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (the “Customer Bankruptcy”). The 2021 amounts are predominantly due to favorable settlements on supplier purchase order termination clauses and benefits recognized from the utilization of previously reserved inventory and the 2020 amounts primarily consist of charges related to inventory recorded in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of operations.

(f) Discrete tax benefits predominately related to the reversal of previously unrecognized tax benefits resulting from the effective settlement of tax audits and the utilization of acquired foreign tax credits during the periods presented.
