Revenue Increased 7.7% to $229.7 Million
GAAP EPS was $0.30
Adjusted EPS Increased 16% to $0.76
Operating Cash Flow was $31.1 Million

PLAINSBORO, N.J., Nov. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2014. Total revenues for the third quarter were $229.7 million, reflecting an increase of $16.5 million, or 7.7%, over the third quarter of 2013.

"Favorable revenue mix, led by our U.S. Neurosurgery and U.S. Extremities segments, contributed to bottom line results ahead of our expectations, while currency translation tempered our top-line results," said Peter Arduini, Integra's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to our financial results, we are excited about today's separate announcement of our strategic portfolio re-alignment, which will accelerate long-term growth."

The Company reported GAAP net income of $9.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014, compared to GAAP net loss of $30.3 million or $1.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted measures discussed below are computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2014, was $25.1 million, or $0.76 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income of $18.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2014 was $49.5 million, compared to $36.5 million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation for the third quarter of 2014 was $52.9 million, compared to $39.3 million in the third quarter last year.

"We were pleased with our third-quarter financial results, particularly our strong cash flow generation and margins, which improved on a year-over-year and sequential basis stated in both GAAP and adjusted terms," said Glenn Coleman, Integra's Chief Financial Officer.

In the third quarter, Integra generated $31.1 million in cash flows from operations and invested $8.8 million in capital expenditures during the quarter. Adjusted free cash flow conversion for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2014 was 33.7% versus 8.1% in the prior-year period.

Business Updates

Today, Integra published a separate press release announcing plans to spin off its Spine business to Integra shareholders, which is expected to take the form of a tax-free distribution. The spin-off will create a new, publicly traded company focused on developing, marketing and selling spine hardware and orthobiologics. After the spin-off is complete, Integra will operate as two global business areas providing specialty surgical solutions and orthopedics and tissue technologies to surgeons.

Last week, the Company also announced the closing of the MicroFrance acquisition. Based on the timing of the completion and the transition service agreements in affect, Integra does not expect MicroFrance to have a meaningful impact on 2014 financial results.

Investor Meeting at the North American Spine Society ("NASS") Meeting

Integra is also announcing today that the Company will hold a meeting for investors in San Francisco, CA on November 13, 2014 from 11:00am to 12:00pm (PST). The Company is participating in the North American Spine Society annual meeting in San Francisco from November 12-14, 2014. Access to the live call is available by dialing (719) 325-2452 and using the passcode 3703788. The call can also be accessed through a webcast via a link provided on the Investor Relations homepage of Integra's website at investor.integralife.com. The webcast will also be archived on the website.

Outlook for 2014

Given the year-to-date results and the negative impact of foreign currency, the Company expects full year 2014 revenues to come in at the low-end of its previously guided range of $920 to $940 million.

The Company is revising its expectations for GAAP earnings per diluted share for the full year to be between $0.81 and $0.99 from our prior guidance of $1.06 to $1.24, which reflects an increase in special charges related to the planned spin-off of the spine business and the strategic portfolio alignment discussed in the separately published press release.

The Company is maintaining guidance for adjusted earnings per diluted share of between $2.88 and $3.06, but expects to be at the low-end of the range.

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 organic revenues, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion. Adjusted revenues consist of growth in total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates on the current period's revenues, the contribution of revenues from discontinued products in both the current and prior periods' revenues, and the contribution of revenues from the DuraSeal acquisition. The various measures of adjusted EBITDA consist of GAAP net income (loss), 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 income (loss), excluding: (i) manufacturing facility remediation costs; (ii) global ERP implementation charges; (iii) structural optimization charges; (iv) acquisition-related charges; (v) certain employee severance charges; (vi) discontinued product lines charges; (vii) intangible asset amortization expense; (viii) impairment charges; (ix) convertible debt non-cash interest; and (x) 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 months ended September 30, 2013, the calculation of GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter 2013 period excludes 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 2013 period because their effects are dilutive in relation to adjusted net income. The measure of free cash flow consists of GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. The measure of adjusted free cash flow consists of free cash flow adjusted for certain one-time unusual items. The adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing (i) free cash flow, or (ii) adjusted free cash flow (as applicable), by adjusted net income.

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to adjusted revenues and GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA excluding stock-based compensation and adjusted net income, and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share all for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the adjusted free cash flow and free cash flow conversion for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the twelve months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, appear in the financial tables in this release.

Integra believes that the presentation of adjusted revenues and the various adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and adjusted free cash flow measures provide 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.
