SCIENTIFIC ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR

“So far
this year, CRM market growth has not been as strong as expected, but our CRM
business has continued to grow, and we have not seen the slowdown in hospital
stocking described by St. Jude,” said Ray Elliott, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Boston Scientific. “In DES, we maintained our worldwide
leadership position. A key component of that leadership has been our
TAXUS franchise, which has been studied in more than 46,000 patients over the
past nine years. The COMPARE data presented last month are
inconsistent with the overall body of TAXUS evidence, and we expect that the
results of future studies will be more in line with those of other TAXUS
trials. Single-center, non-double blinded, underpowered studies, such
as COMPARE, are not considered optimal trial protocol. Moreover,
we have the
1
industry’s
only two-drug platform and the finest sales and marketing team in the business,
two important competitive advantages that should help ensure continued DES
leadership.”
Net sales
for the third quarter of 2009 were $2.025 billion, as compared to net sales of
$1.978 billion for the third quarter of 2008, which included sales from divested
businesses of $12 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency and sales
from divested businesses, net sales increased three percent over the prior
period.

Reported net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $200 million, or $0.13 per share. Reported results included litigation-related credits, restructuring and restructuring-related costs and amortization expense (after-tax) of $91 million, or $0.06 per share, which consisted of:
·
|
a
$37 million ($58 million pre-tax) credit associated with the reduction of
previously recorded reserves associated with certain litigation-related
matters;
|
·
|
$21
million ($28 million pre-tax) of restructuring and restructuring-related
costs associated with the Company’s Plant Network Optimization program and
2007 restructuring plan; and
|
·
|
$107
million ($126 million pre-tax) of amortization
expense.
|
Adjusted
net income for the third quarter of 2009, excluding these net charges, was $291
million, or $0.19 per share.
Reported
net loss for the third quarter of 2008 was $62 million, or $0.04 per
share. Reported results included intangible asset impairment charges;
acquisition-, divestiture-, and litigation-
2
related
net charges; restructuring and restructuring-related costs and amortization
expense (after-tax) of $298 million, or $0.20 per share. Adjusted net
income for the third quarter of 2008, excluding these charges, was $236 million,
or $0.16 per share.
“The
quarter was marked by significant clinical accomplishments,” said
Elliott. “We announced final results from the MADIT-CRT trial, which
clearly demonstrated that CRT-D therapy slows the progression of heart failure,
and we completed enrollment in the PLATINUM workhorse trial evaluating our
next-generation PROMUS®
Element™ Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System. We also obtained
key product approvals, including CE Mark for the LATITUDE Patient Management
System and FDA approval of the TAXUS®
Liberte® Long
Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System. These developments are
further evidence of the strength and promise of our CRM and Cardiovascular
businesses.”
Guidance for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009
The
Company estimates net sales for the fourth quarter of 2009 of between $2.025
billion and $2.125 billion. Adjusted earnings – excluding acquisition-related
credits, restructuring and restructuring-related costs, and amortization expense
– are estimated to range between $0.17 and $0.21 per share. The Company
estimates net income on a GAAP basis of between $0.20 and $0.25 per
share.
The
Company has updated its net sales estimate for the full year of 2009 to
between $8.134 billion and $8.234 billion. The Company now expects adjusted
earnings for the full year – excluding intangible asset impairment charges;
acquisition-, divestiture-, and litigation-related net charges; restructuring
and restructuring-related costs; discrete tax items; and amortization expense –
of between $0.75 and $0.79 per share. The Company expects net income on a GAAP
basis of between $0.43 and $0.48 per share.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
To
supplement Boston Scientific’s condensed consolidated financial statements
presented on a GAAP basis; the Company discloses certain non-GAAP measures that
exclude certain amounts, including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per
share, and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact
of foreign exchange. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an
alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States.
The GAAP
measure most comparable to non-GAAP net income is GAAP net income and the GAAP
measure most comparable to non-GAAP net income per share is GAAP net income per
share. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the
corresponding GAAP measure are included in the accompanying
schedules.
To
calculate regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact
of foreign exchange, the Company converts actual current-period net sales from
local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign exchange rates. The GAAP
measure most comparable to this non-GAAP measure is growth rate percentages
based on GAAP revenue. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to
the corresponding GAAP measure is included in the accompanying
schedules.
Use and Economic Substance
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Used by Boston Scientific
Management
uses these supplemental non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance period over
period, to analyze the underlying trends in the Company’s business, to assess
its performance relative to its competitors, and to establish operational goals
and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management
uses these non-GAAP measures to further its understanding of the performance of
the Company’s operating segments. The adjustments excluded from the Company’s
non-GAAP measures are consistent with those excluded from its reportable
segments’ measure of profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the
segment measures that are reported to the Company’s chief operating decision
maker and are used to make operating decisions and assess
performance.
The
following is an explanation of each of the adjustments that management excluded
as part of its non-GAAP measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008 and for the forecasted three month period and full year ending December
31, 2009, as well as reasons for excluding each of these individual
items:
·
|
Intangible asset
impairment charges - These amounts represent non-cash write-downs
of certain of the Company’s intangible assets. Following the Company’s
acquisition of Guidant in 2006, and the related increase in the Company’s
debt, management has heightened its focus on cash generation and debt pay
down. Management removes the impact of these charges from the Company’s
operating performance to assist in assessing the Company’s cash generated
from operations. Management believes this is a critical metric for the
Company in measuring the Company’s ability to generate cash and pay down
debt. Therefore, these charges are excluded from management’s assessment
of operating performance and are also excluded from the measures
management uses to set employee compensation. Accordingly, management
believes this may be useful information to users of its financial
statements and therefore has excluded these charges for purposes of
calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of the
Company’s current operating performance, particularly in terms of
liquidity.
|
·
|
Acquisition-related
net charges (credits) - These adjustments consist of purchased
research and development and a gain resulting from the receipt of an
acquisition-related milestone payment. Purchased research and development
is a highly variable charge based on the extent and nature of
|
14
|
external
technology acquisitions during the period. The acquisition-related
milestone received in the third quarter of 2008 is one of two receipts the
Company expects to receive as a result of Guidant Corporation’s sale of
its vascular intervention and endovascular solutions businesses to Abbott
Laboratories and is not indicative of future operating results. Management
removes the impact of these charges (credits) from the Company’s operating
results to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating
performance and a comparison to the Company’s past operating
performance.
|
·
|
Divestiture-related
gains and losses – These amounts represent gains and losses, and
related tax impacts, that the Company recognized related to the sale of
non-strategic assets, including the sale of certain businesses,
development programs and non-strategic investments. The sale and transfer
of these non-strategic assets were substantially completed during 2008.
These gains and losses are not indicative of future operating performance
and are not used by management to assess operating performance.
Accordingly, management excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating
these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s
current operating performance and a comparison to the Company’s past
operating performance.
|
·
|
Restructuring and
restructuring-related costs – These adjustments primarily represent
severance, employee-related retention incentives, asset write-offs,
accelerated depreciation, costs to transfer production lines from one
facility to another, and other costs associated with the Company’s Plant
Network Optimization and 2007 Restructuring plans. These expenses are not
indicative of the Company’s on-going operating performance and are
excluded by management in assessing the Company’s operating performance,
as well as from the Company’s operating segments’ measures of profit and
loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Accordingly, management excluded these charges for purposes of calculating
these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s
current operating performance and a comparison to the Company’s past
operating performance.
|
·
|
Litigation-related
(credits) charges –These amounts represent significant (credits)
charges related to litigation. The credit in the third quarter of 2009
represents the reduction of previously recorded reserves associated with
certain litigation matters, and the charges during the first quarter of
2009 and third quarter of 2008 are attributable to certain patent
litigation matters. Management does not believe these items reflect
expected on-going operating expenses. Accordingly, management excluded
these (credits) charges for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP
measures to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current operating
performance and for comparison to the Company’s past operating
performance.
|
·
|
Discrete tax
items - These items represent current period adjustments of certain
tax positions, which were initially established in prior periods as a
result of acquisitions or as a result of divestiture- and
litigation-related charges, or restructuring and restructuring-related
costs. These adjustments do not reflect expected on-going operating
results. Accordingly, management excluded these amounts for purposes of
calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of the
Company’s current operating performance and for comparison to the
Company’s past operating
performance.
|
·
|
Amortization
expense - Amortization expense is a non-cash charge and does not
impact the Company’s liquidity or compliance with the covenants included
in its debt agreements. Management removes the impact of amortization from
the Company’s operating performance to assist in assessing the Company’s
cash generated from operations. Management believes this is a critical
metric for the Company in measuring the Company’s ability to generate cash
and pay
|
15
|
down
debt. Therefore, amortization expense is excluded from management’s
assessment of operating performance and is also excluded from the measures
management uses to set employee compensation. Accordingly, management
believes this may be useful information to users of its financial
statements and therefore has excluded amortization expense for purposes of
calculating these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an evaluation of the
Company’s current operating performance, particularly in terms of
liquidity.
|
·
|
Foreign exchange on
net sales - The impact of foreign exchange is highly variable and
difficult to predict. Accordingly, management excludes the impact of
foreign exchange for purposes of reviewing regional and divisional revenue
growth rates to facilitate an evaluation of the Company’s current
operating performance and comparison to the Company’s past operating
performance.
|
Material Limitations
Associated with the Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP
net income, non-GAAP net income per diluted share, and regional and divisional
revenue growth rates that exclude the impact of foreign exchange may have
limitations as analytical tools, and these non-GAAP measures should not be
considered in isolation from or as a replacement for GAAP financial measures.
Some of the limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial
measures are:
·
|
Items
such as purchased research and development, gains on acquisition-related
milestones and divestiture-related gains and losses reflect economic costs
and benefits to the Company and are not reflected in non-GAAP net income
and non-GAAP net income per diluted
share.
|
·
|
Items
such as restructuring and restructuring-related costs, litigation-related
(credits) charges, and discrete tax items that are excluded from non-GAAP
net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share can have a material
impact on cash flows and GAAP net income and net income per diluted
share.
|
·
|
Amortization
expense and intangible asset impairment charges, though not directly
affecting Boston Scientific’s cash flow position, represent a reduction in
value of intangible assets. The expense associated with this reduction in
value is not included in Boston Scientific’s non-GAAP net income or
non-GAAP net income per diluted share and therefore these measures do not
reflect the full effect of the reduction in value of those intangible
assets.
|
·
|
Revenue
growth rates stated on a constant currency basis, by their nature, exclude
the impact of foreign exchange, which may have a material impact on GAAP
net sales.
|
·
|
Other
companies may calculate non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per
diluted share, or regional and divisional revenue growth rates that
exclude the impact of foreign exchange differently than Boston Scientific
does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative
purposes.
|
Compensation for Limitations
Associated with Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Boston
Scientific compensates for the limitations on its non-GAAP financial measures by
relying upon its GAAP results to gain a complete picture of the Company’s
performance. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon the core business of the
Company, which is only a subset, albeit a critical one, of the Company’s
performance.
16
The
Company provides detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to
its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the accompanying schedules, and
Boston Scientific encourages investors to review these
reconciliations.
Usefulness of Non-GAAP
Financial Measures to Investors
The
Company believes that presenting non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per
share, and regional and divisional revenue growth rates that exclude the impact
of foreign exchange in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors
greater transparency to the information used by Boston Scientific management for
its financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see Boston
Scientific’s results “through the eyes” of management. The Company further
believes that providing this information better enables Boston Scientific’s
investors to understand the Company’s operating performance and to evaluate the
methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such
performance.
