San Antonio, Texas, October 10, 2011 – Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (“KCI” or the “Company”) (NYSE: KCI) today reported certain preliminary third quarter 2011 financial results.  The Company is providing this information to assist prospective debt financing sources in evaluating the Company’s results of operations.

Preliminary total revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $529.0 million to $533.0 million, an increase of 4% to 5% from the third quarter of 2010.  Foreign currency exchange movements favorably impacted total revenue by approximately 2% for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.

Preliminary net earnings for the third quarter of 2011 were $89.0 million to $93.0 million, an increase of 17% to 23% compared to $75.8 million for the same period one year ago.  On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the effects of certain acquisition-related costs associated with our 2008 purchase of LifeCell and charges recorded in the third quarter of 2011 associated with restructuring activities and with our anticipated merger, preliminary net earnings were $104.1 million to $108.1 million for the third quarter of 2011, up 21% to 25% from the same period of the prior year.  Preliminary Adjusted EBITDA was $742.3 million to $746.3 million for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2011.

Preliminary total cash at quarter end was $656.8 million compared to $316.6 million at December 31, 2010.

These results are preliminary and may change as the Company completes its financial statement close process.  The Company intends to issue a full press release containing third quarter 2011 results on October 21, 2011.

 
 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Within this document, we have included preliminary results for the third quarter of 2011 on a basis other than those prescribed by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) to exclude the impact of specified non-cash expenses associated with our 2008 acquisition of LifeCell and the impact of other charges, including acquisition-related costs incurred during the third quarter of 2011.  In addition, we have presented Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), which is a non-GAAP financial measure.  These non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of our GAAP results.  We have provided this supplemental non-GAAP information because it may provide meaningful information regarding our results on a basis that better facilitates an understanding of our expected results of operations which may not be otherwise apparent under GAAP.  Management uses this non-GAAP financial information, along with GAAP information, for reviewing the operating results of its business segments and for analyzing potential future business trends.  In addition, we believe some investors may use this information in a similar fashion.  Reconciliations of our GAAP selected financial information for the periods presented to the non-GAAP selected financial information provided are included herein.
