“The strong organic growth of our Codman Specialty Surgical segment and several product lines in our Tissue Technologies business demonstrate the resilience of our diversified portfolio of leading brands and technologies and strong market recovery. Excluding the impact of the Boston recall, we delivered solid, mid-single digit organic growth from the underlying business,” said Jan De Witte, Integra LifeSciences’ president and chief executive officer. “We are confident in our plans for the CereLink relaunch and the restart of our Boston manufacturing facility, and we continue to advance our implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) PMA strategy.”

Total reported revenues of $381.3 million declined 4.2% on a reported basis and declined 2.7% on an organic basis compared to the prior year.

Second Quarter 2023 Segment Performance

Codman Specialty Surgical (~71% of Revenues)

• Total revenues were $271.0 million, representing reported growth of 5.1% and organic growth of 6.3% compared to the second quarter of 2022, due to high single-digit growth in Advanced Energy driven by CUSA capital and disposables; mid-single-digit growth in CSF management driven by Certas® Plus valves; mid-single-digit growth in Dural Access and Repair driven by Mayfield® and DuraGen®; low single-digit decline in Neuro Monitoring driven by CereLink and low double-digit growth in Instruments.

Tissue Technologies (~29% of Revenues)

• Total revenues were $110.2 million, representing reported decline of 21.2% and organic decline of 19.7% compared to the second quarter of 2022, due to the impact of the lost revenue and return provision for the Boston recall which was partially offset by double digit growth from MicroMatrix®, Cytal®, MediHoney® and nerve franchise.

• Expect to restart manufacturing at the Boston facility late Q4’23 and resume commercial distribution in mid- to late Q2’24

As of quarter end, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $1.61 billion, including $309.2 million in cash and the remainder available under the revolving credit facility.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company is planning for a $125 million share repurchase during the third quarter under an authorization of the Company’s board of directors.

2023 Outlook

For the full year 2023, the Company is updating its revenue and adjusted EPS expectations to $1.548 to $1.560 billion and $3.10 to $3.18, respectively. The revenue range represents reported growth of -0.6% to 0.2%, with organic growth of 0.3% to 1.1% and reflects the full year impact of the Boston recall and the solid performance of the underlying business.

For the third quarter 2023, the Company expects reported revenues in the range of $386 million to $390 million, representing reported growth of 0.2% to 1.3% and organic growth of 0.3% to 1.3%. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are expected to be in the range of $0.76 to $0.80, including the impact of the Boston recall.

The Company’s guidance for the third quarter and full-year organic sales growth excludes acquisitions and divestitures, the effects of foreign currency and the year-over-year change in revenue from discontinued products. Organic growth excludes sales from the divestiture of the Company’s traditional wound care (TWC) business as of September 1, 2022, and sales from the acquisition of Surgical Innovation Associates, Inc. (SIA) through December 1, 2023. Adjusted earnings per share guidance reflects the impact of the divestiture of the TWC business, the SIA acquisition and the impact of foreign currency.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures
In addition to our GAAP results, we provide certain non-GAAP measures, including organic revenues, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow conversion, and net debt. Organic revenues consist of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, revenues from current-period acquisitions and product divestitures and discontinuances. Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income excluding: (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) other income (expense); (iii) interest income and expense; (iv) income tax expense (benefit); and (v) those operating expenses also excluded from adjusted net income. The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income, excluding: (i) structural optimization charges; (ii) divestiture, acquisition and integration-related charges; (iii) EU Medical Device Regulation-related charges; (iv) charges related to the voluntary global recall of products manufactured at the Company’s Boston, Massachusetts facility; (v) intangible asset amortization expense; and (vi) income tax impact from adjustments. The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The measure of free cash flow consists of GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. The adjusted free cash flow conversion measure is calculated by dividing free cash flow by adjusted net income. The measure of net debt consists of GAAP total debt (excluding deferred financing costs) less cash and cash equivalents.

Reconciliations of GAAP revenues to organic revenues, GAAP net income to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted net income, GAAP total debt to net debt and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share all for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, appear in the financial tables in this release.

The Company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and the other non-GAAP 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.
