Medtronic Reports Third Quarter Earnings

  • Revenue of $4.0 Billion Grew 3% on Strength of New Products
  • Reiterates Revenue Outlook and Tightens Diluted EPS Guidance
  • Emerging Technologies and Emerging Markets Growth of Greater than 20%

MINNEAPOLIS--()--Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE:MDT) today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2011, which ended January 28, 2011.

The company reported worldwide third quarter revenue of $3.961 billion, compared to $3.851 billion reported in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 3 percent both on a constant currency basis and as reported, which is in-line with the company’s estimate of MedTech market growth.

As detailed in the attached table, third quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $922 million and $0.86, an increase of 8 percent and 12 percent, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. As reported, third quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share were $924 million and $0.86, an increase of 11 percent and 15 percent, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year.

International sales of $1.702 billion increased 5 percent as reported compared to the same period in the prior year, or increased 7 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a $22 million unfavorable foreign currency impact. International sales accounted for 43 percent of worldwide revenue. Emerging market revenue of $350 million increased 26 percent as reported, or increased 23 percent on a constant currency basis.

“Our newly launched products are clearly capturing the interest of both physicians and patients, setting the stage for solid future performance and continued leadership for Medtronic,” said Bill Hawkins, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. “We have advanced our industry-leading pipeline, bringing forward the Solera spinal system, introducing the novel Arctic Front Cryoballoon procedure for atrial fibrillation, launching the Endurant stent graft, and gaining FDA approval for the Revo MRI-compatible pacemaker.”

Cardiac and Vascular Group

The Cardiac and Vascular Group at Medtronic is comprised of Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management (CRDM), CardioVascular, and Physio-Control. The group reported worldwide sales in the quarter of $2.099 billion, which represents an increase of 2 percent as reported and on a constant currency basis. Cardiac and Vascular Group International sales of $1.143 billion were up 4 percent as reported or 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Group performance was driven by strong sales growth in Structural Heart, Endovascular, and AF Solutions, offset by modest declines in CRDM implantables.

CRDM revenue of $1.221 billion declined 2 percent as reported or 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue from implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) of $735 million was down 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Pacing revenue was $450 million in the quarter, a decline of 2 percent on a constant currency basis. CRDM sales were negatively affected by slower market growth, but partially offset by the adoption of the Protecta™ ICD in Europe, as well as continued growth in the AF Solutions business. AF Solutions results were driven in part by the U.S. launch of the Arctic Front® Cardiac CryoAblation Catheter system. On February 8, the FDA approved the Revo MRI™ SureScan® pacing system, the first and only pacemaker in the U.S. specifically designed for use in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) environment.

CardioVascular revenue of $774 million grew 7 percent as reported or 8 percent on a constant currency basis. Revenue growth was driven by solid performance in all businesses and particularly in emerging markets, where revenue growth was 30 percent compared to the same period in the prior year. The Coronary and Peripheral, Structural Heart, and Endovascular businesses grew worldwide revenue 4 percent, 13 percent, and 12 percent, respectively, on a constant currency basis. While the stent market continues to experience year-over-year declines, Medtronic gained share with its highly deliverable Integrity platform. The company’s U.S. market share in bare metal stents was up nearly 9 percentage points compared to the same period in the prior year. Structural Heart revenue was driven by continued solid growth in transcatheter valves as well as revenue from the recent acquisition of ATS Medical. Growth in Endovascular revenue was driven by the U.S. launch of the Endurant stent graft for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Physio-Control revenue of $104 million increased 4 percent as reported or 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Results were driven by solid growth of the LIFEPAK® 15 monitor/defibrillator in the pre-hospital market and the LIFEPAK® 20e monitor/defibrillator in the hospital market. Management also announced its intention to reinitiate its efforts to divest its Physio-Control business unit.

Restorative Therapies Group

The Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic is comprised of Spinal, Neuromodulation, Diabetes, and Surgical Technologies. The group reported worldwide sales in the quarter of $1.862 billion, which represents an increase of 4 percent as reported or 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Restorative Therapies Group International sales of $559 million increased 8 percent as reported, or 9 percent on a constant currency basis. Group revenue performance was led by growth in the Diabetes and Surgical Technologies businesses, as well as renewed growth in Spinal.

Spinal revenue of $861 million increased 2 percent both as reported and on a constant currency basis. The company believes global spine market growth has remained stable compared to the prior quarter. Core Spinal revenue declined 1 percent, but included Core Metal Construct growth of 2 percent. Biologics revenue increased 10 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by the acquisition of Osteotech, stabilizing InFuse sales, and a strong performance in Other Biologics. In January, the company launched the CD Horizon® Solera™ Spinal System, part of a family of devices designed to provide spinal stabilization and correction as an adjunct to fusion in patients suffering from painful disorders of the middle and lower back.

Neuromodulation revenue of $401 million increased 2 percent as reported or 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Results were driven by Deep Brain Stimulation systems for movement disorders, and InterStim® Therapy for overactive bladder and urinary retention, and bowel control outside the United States.

Diabetes revenue of $341 million grew 10 percent as reported or 11 percent on a constant currency basis. Growth in the quarter was driven by strong sales of continuous glucose monitoring products as well as solid performance in our global insulin pumps.

Surgical Technologies revenue of $259 million grew 8 percent both as reported and on a constant currency basis. After adjusting for the fiscal year 2010 divestiture of the Ophthalmic business, sales growth was 10 percent on a constant currency basis. The solid growth was driven by strong performances across the portfolio of ENT, Power Systems, and Navigation product lines, as well as balanced growth across capital equipment, disposables, and service.

Revenue Outlook and Earnings per Share Guidance

The company today reiterated its revenue outlook and tightened its diluted earnings per share guidance range for fiscal year 2011.

The company’s previously stated fiscal year 2011 diluted earnings per share guidance of $3.38 to $3.44 did not include the impact from the acquisition of Ardian. After tightening its diluted earnings per share range to $3.40 to $3.42 and then including the estimated $0.02 impact from Ardian dilution in Q4, the company now expects fiscal year 2011 diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.38 to $3.40. The company noted that it is comfortable with the current fiscal year 2011 consensus estimate of $3.40.

In order to align its cost structure to current market conditions and continue to position Medtronic for long-term sustainable growth, the company will be restructuring its business. The restructuring will occur through a combination of cost-saving measures, tighter expense management, and voluntary programs to minimize layoffs. Based on current expectations, the company intends to reduce its workforce by 4 to 5 percent, or 1,500 to 2,000 positions during Q4. The company also expects to recognize a one-time charge in Q4 related to this restructuring.

Earnings per share guidance excludes any unusual charges or gains that might occur during the fiscal year and the impact of the non-cash charge to interest expense due to the accounting rules governing convertible debt. The guidance provided only reflects information available to the company at this time.

“We are delivering on our pipeline to drive share in our core markets and strong growth in emerging technologies,” said Hawkins. “At the same time, we are restructuring our business and leveraging our global infrastructure to be more in-line with market conditions, which positions us well to deliver market-leading performance.”

(a) The $12 million ($0.01 per share) after-tax ($13 million pre-tax) certain litigation charges, net relate to an accounting charge for Other Matters litigation. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges, net that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these certain litigation charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these certain litigation charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

 

(b) The $50 million ($0.05 per share) after-tax ($39 million pre-tax) IPR&D and certain acquisition-related costs, net gain includes $12 million after-tax ($15 million pre-tax) of IPR&D charges related to asset purchases in the CardioVascular and Surgical Technologies businesses and $23 million after-tax ($31 million pre-tax) of acquisition-related costs. Additionally, an $85 million after-tax ($85 million pre-tax) gain resulting from the acquisition of Ardian, Inc. (Ardian) was recognized in the period. In the above IPR&D charge, technological feasibility of the underlying products had not yet been reached and such technology had no future alternative use.

(d) The $9 million ($0.01 per share) after-tax ($14 million pre-tax) executive separation costs include costs associated with the transition and retirement of Chief Executive Officer, William Hawkins.

(e) The $50 million ($0.04 per share) after-tax ($69 million pre-tax) restructuring charge is the net impact of a $52 million after-tax charge related to restructuring initiatives that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, offset by a $2 million after-tax net reversal of excess reserves related to the global realignment initiative that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The fiscal year 2009 initiatives were designed to streamline operations and further align resources around the Company’s higher growth opportunities. This initiative impacted most businesses and certain corporate functions. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recognized expense associated with compensation and early retirement benefits provided to employees which could not be accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. In addition, the Company recorded $4 million of the after-tax expense ($7 million pre-tax) within cost of products sold related to inventory write-offs and production-related asset impairments associated with these restructuring activities. The $2 million after-tax net reversal is primarily a result of a $5 million after-tax reversal due to favorable severance negotiations with certain employee populations outside the U.S. as well as a higher than expected percentage of employees identified for elimination finding positions elsewhere within the Company partially offset by a $3 million after-tax charge the Company recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 related to the further write-down of a non-inventory related asset resulting from the continued decline in the international real estate market. There were no additional restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. In addition to disclosing restructuring charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these restructuring charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations.

The Abbott settlement related to the resolution of all outstanding intellectual property litigation. The terms of the Abbott agreement stipulate that neither party will sue the other in the field of coronary stent and stent delivery systems for a period of at least 10 years, subject to certain conditions. Both parties also agreed to a cross-license of the disputed patents within the defined field. The $444 million pre-tax settlement amount includes a $400 million payment to Abbott and a $42 million success payment made to evYsio Medical Devices, LLC (evYsio). In addition, a $2 million payment was made to evYsio in order to expand the definition of the license field from evYsio. The Gore settlement related to the resolution of outstanding patent litigation related to selected patents in Medtronic’s Jervis and Wiktor patent families. The terms of the agreement stipulate that neither party will sue the other in the defined field of use, subject to certain conditions. In addition and subject to certain conditions, Medtronic granted Gore a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive license in the defined field of use.
