Teleflex Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results

Revenue of $371.9 million – up 7.8%; up 3.2% constant currency

LIMERICK, Pa.--()--Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 25, 2011.

THREE MONTH RESULTS

Third quarter 2011 net revenues were $371.9 million, an increase of 7.8% over the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, third quarter 2011 net revenues increased 3.2% over the prior year period.

Third quarter 2011 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.82, an increase of 203.7% over the prior year period. During the third quarter of 2010, Teleflex recorded losses on the extinguishment of debt totaling $20.9 million, net of tax. Third quarter 2011 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.03, a increase of 4.0% over the prior year period. The increase in adjusted diluted earnings per share is related to an increase in sales volume, improved pricing, as well as a reduction in interest expense. This was somewhat offset by higher manufacturing, raw material and fuel-related costs, and the continued investment in sales, marketing and research and development activities.

“Despite operating within a challenging macro environment, our momentum continued to build during the third quarter of 2011,” said Benson Smith, Chairman, President and CEO. “Our team’s renewed focus led to revenue growth across nearly every region and product family. Improved sales volumes contributed to our top line growth, as did select price increases within the Asia Pacific and North American regions. In addition, during the third quarter, we were awarded 11 group purchasing organization contracts, and we introduced five new products to the marketplace, positioning the Company for sustainable and profitable future growth.”

Added Mr. Smith, “Our profitability during the quarter was favorably impacted by expanded gross and operating margins on a sequential basis, as well as a lower tax rate. Overall, we are continuing to make progress toward the achievement of our longer-term growth objectives.”

NINE MONTH RESULTS

Net revenues for the first nine months of 2011 were $1.1 billion, an increase of 6.7% over the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, net revenues for the first nine months of 2011 increased 3.4% over the prior year period.

GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2011 was $1.94, an increase of 3.7% over the prior year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2011 was $2.85, a decrease of 3.1% over the prior year period. The decline in adjusted diluted earnings per share is related to higher manufacturing, raw material and fuel-related freight costs, unfavorable product mix and the continued investment in sales, marketing and research and development expenses. This was somewhat offset by an increase in sales volume and reduced interest expense.

THIRD QUARTER NET REVENUE BY PRODUCT GROUP

Critical Care third quarter 2011 net revenues were $245.1 million, an increase of 8.5% over the prior year period on an as reported basis. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, third quarter 2011 net revenues increased 3.6% over the prior year period. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales of vascular access, anesthesia and urology products.

Surgical Care third quarter 2011 net revenues were $66.0 million, an increase of 7.1% over the prior year period on an as reported basis. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, third quarter 2011 net revenues increased 1.9% over the prior year period. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales of ligation products.

Cardiac Care third quarter 2011 net revenues were $18.1 million, an increase of 4.0% over the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, third quarter 2011 net revenues decreased 1.7% over the prior year period. The decrease in revenue was due to lower sales of intra-aortic balloon pumps, due to a slight slowdown in the purchase of capital equipment.

OEM and Development Services third quarter 2011 net revenues were $42.4 million, an increase of 7.3% over the prior year period on an as reported basis. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, third quarter 2011 net revenues increased 5.6% over the prior year period. The increase in revenue was due to higher sales of specialty suture, catheter fabrication and orthopedic implant products.

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS

Depreciation and amortization expense of intangible assets and deferred financing costs and debt discount for the first nine months of 2011 was $74.5 million compared to $68.5 million for the first nine months of 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 25, 2011 were $371.7 million.

Net accounts receivable at September 25, 2011 were $277.3 million.

Net inventories at September 25, 2011 were $311.4 million.

Net debt obligations at September 25, 2011 were $683.0 million.

December 31, 2010 balance sheet amounts were not referenced above because businesses were either sold or reclassified to discontinued operations during 2011 and the Company does not find comparisons to the December 31, 2010 balance sheet amounts to be meaningful.

2011 OUTLOOK

The Company’s financial estimates for 2011 are as follows:

Revenue in the range of $1.51 billion to $1.53 billion. This compares to the Company’s prior expectation for full year 2011 revenue in the range of $1.44 billion to $1.47 billion. The revised revenue guidance is associated with foreign currency fluctuations and the translation of foreign revenues into U.S. dollars. In terms of constant currency revenue growth, the Company expects to be between 3.0% to 3.5% for full year 2011. This compares to the Company’s prior expectation of constant currency revenue growth between 2.5% to 3.5% for full year 2011.

Adjusted earnings per share in the range of $4.05 to $4.10. This compares to the Company’s prior expectation for full year 2011 adjusted earnings per share in the range of $4.05 to $4.25. The reduction in the high-end of the EPS guidance range is due to the Company’s nine month year-to-date performance, as well as the Company’s expectations for the fourth quarter.

Cash flow from continuing operations for the full year is expected to be in the range of $150 to $180 million. This compares to the Company’s prior expectation for full year 2011 cash flow from continuing operations in the range of $180 to $210 million. The revised cash flow from operations guidance is primarily related to higher than expected inventory levels associated with the Company’s previously announced efforts to focus on gaining additional market share and reducing the amount of time required to fulfill customer orders, as well as an increase in accounts receivable.

CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As previously announced, Teleflex will comment on its financial results on a conference call to be held today at 8:00 a.m. (ET). The call will be available live and archived on the company’s website at www.teleflex.com and the accompanying presentation will be posted prior to the call. An audio replay will be available until October 30, 2011, 12:00pm (ET), by calling 888-286-8010 (U.S./Canada) or 617-801-6888 (International), Passcode: 62497743.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Constant currency revenue and growth exclude the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. Constant currency revenue and growth include activity of a purchased company beyond the initial twelve months after the date of acquisition.

Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.

Product group results and commentary exclude the impact of discontinued operations, items included in restructuring and impairment charges, and losses and other charges set forth in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include (i) adjusted diluted earnings per share, which excludes the effect of charges associated with our restructuring programs and asset impairments, losses and other charges related to refinancing transactions, costs associated with severance payments and benefits to be provided to our former chief executive officer, intangible amortization expense and the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes; (ii) constant currency revenue and growth, which exclude the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period; and (iii) cash flow from operations, excluding the impact of the adoption of an amendment to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification topic 860, “Transfers and Servicing”. Consistent with past practice, adjusted diluted earnings per share has not been adjusted to exclude the benefit resulting from the forfeiture of equity awards. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that do not reflect Teleflex’s day-to-day operations. In addition, management uses these financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to assist in our evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Tables reconciling these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set forth below.
