Utica, New York, February 15, 2012 ----- CONMED Corporation (Nasdaq: CNMD) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.

 

“Both the fourth quarter and the full year 2011 were outstanding operationally and from a cash flow perspective. While the GAAP earnings for the fourth quarter and 2011 year have been adversely affected by a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the Patient Care division, adjusted earnings exceeded our forecasts for both the fourth quarter and full year 2011,” commented Mr. Joseph J. Corasanti, President and CEO. “Further, cash flow provided by operating activities reached a record level of $103.0 million in 2011, 2.4 times the adjusted net income.”

 

As discussed below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” the Company presents various non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this release. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Please refer to the attached reconciliation between GAAP and adjusted financial measures.

 

Financial Highlights:

 

Fourth Quarter 2011

 

·         Sales grew to $185.6 million, an increase of 0.8%.

 

·         Single-use products comprised 78% of total sales and grew 3.4%, while sales of capital products declined 7.5%.

 

·         Adjusted diluted earnings per share grew 27.8% to $0.46.

 

 
 

 

CONMED News Release Continued Page 2 of 14 February 15, 2012

 

·         A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $38.0 million net of tax in the Patient Care segment caused GAAP diluted loss per share to be $0.90 for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.24 in the comparable quarter of 2010. Once the primary source of the Company’s revenues in the 1980’s through the mid-1990’s, the Patient Care division now comprises only approximately 9.0% of consolidated revenues.

 

·         Cash provided by operating activities grew 14.5% to $26.3 million.

 

·         Adjusted operating margin expanded 120 basis points to 10.7%.

 

·         GAAP operating margin was (22.4%) due to impairment charge.

 

Full Year 2011

 

·         Sales grew to $725.1 million, an increase of 1.6%.

 

·         Single-use products comprised 78% of total sales and grew 3.0%, while sales of capital products declined 3.2%.

 

·         Adjusted diluted earnings per share grew 15.4% to $1.50.

 

·         The non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.33 per share in the fourth quarter resulted in reducing full-year GAAP diluted earnings per share to $0.03 compared to $1.05 in 2010.

 

·         Full year cash provided by operating activities grew 53.2%, reaching a record $103.0 million, compared to adjusted cash from operating activities in 2010 of $67.2 million.

 

·         Adjusted operating margin expanded 110 basis points to 10.1%.

 

·         GAAP operating margin was 1.1% due to impairment charge.

 

 

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a positive income tax adjustment of $1.3 million by utilizing available foreign tax credits. This adjustment increased both full year GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per share by $0.05 each.

 

International sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $91.3 million, representing 49.2% of total sales, and $360.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Foreign currency exchange rates were approximately the same in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to rates in the fourth quarter of 2010. For the year, currency rates led to an increase in sales of $6.5 million compared to 2010 rates.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was more than double adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of 2011 and amounted to $26.3 million, or 14.2% of sales. The cash was used to repay debt. Substantially all of the 2.5% Convertible Notes were redeemed in November 2011 using cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s senior credit facility. For the 2011 year, cash from operating activities amounted to $103.0 million, or 14.2% of sales. Free cash flow for 2011 was a record $85.4 million compared to $52.5 million in 2010 (free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measurement – see attached calculation).

 

Outlook

 

Mr. Corasanti added, “We look forward to 2012 with continued optimism, particularly in light of our recently announced association with the Musculoskeletal Research Foundation (MTF) for sports medicine applications. In January 2012, we disclosed that this arrangement would be accretive to 2012 EPS by $0.15 - $0.18. As a result, we have increased our initial full year 2012 earnings guidance, provided in October 2011, from $1.60 - $1.70 per diluted share on an adjusted basis, to $1.75 - $1.88. This range would result in an increase in adjusted EPS of between 17 and 25 percent over 2011. Also reflective of the MTF agreement, our sales forecast for 2012 has been increased to $780 - $790 million from $745 - $755 million.”

 

“For the first quarter of 2012, we anticipate sales will approximate $190 - $195 million and adjusted earnings per share are forecasted to be $0.42 - $0.47,” noted Mr. Corasanti.

 

 
 

CONMED News Release Continued Page 3 of 14 February 15, 2012

 

 

The sales and earnings forecasts have been developed using January 2012 currency exchange rates and take into account the currency hedges entered into by the Company. CONMED estimates that 80% of the currency exposure is hedged for 2012 at the following average annual exchange rates: Euro - $1.41, CAD - $1.00, GPB - $1.60 and AUD - $1.00.

 

The adjusted estimates for the first quarter and full year 2012 exclude all of the manufacturing restructuring costs expected to be incurred in 2012 due to the relocation of manufacturing activities from the Santa Barbara, California site to the Company’s facilities in Chihuahua, Mexico and Largo, Florida. Marketing and R&D activities will remain in Santa Barbara, as previously disclosed.

 

Goodwill impairment

 

CONMED has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet as a result of its history of acquisitions. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to at least annual impairment testing. It is our policy to perform our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of our reporting units. Estimates of fair value are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporates management assumptions about expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. As noted in our annual report on Form 10-K for 2010 with regard to impairment testing in 2010, the Patient Care division had the least amount of excess of fair value over carrying value of any of our reporting units in that year. Our calculations of impairment in the just completed fourth quarter of 2011 caused us to conclude that the fair value of future cash flows from the Patient Care division did not support the goodwill amounts of the division. Accordingly, we have recorded a non-cash, pre-tax, write-down of approximately $60.3 million ($38.0 million after-tax) specific to the Patient Care business unit. Accounting rules do not permit recording fair value increases, if any, to intangible assets of CONMED’s other operating segments, or even to other intangible assets of Patient Care. The charge is the total goodwill of this business unit, which arose from a number of acquisitions in the 1990’s. The write-off has no impact on CONMED’s cash flows.

 

Restructuring costs

 

During 2011, the Company continued the consolidation of certain administrative functions and the transfer of additional product lines to its Mexican manufacturing facility. Expenses associated with these activities, including severance and relocation costs, amounted to $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and $4.3 million for the full year of 2011. These charges are included in the GAAP earnings per share set forth above and are excluded from the adjusted results. For 2012, the Company presently anticipates incurring restructuring costs of $3.0 - $4.0 million on the projects currently in process.

 

Convertible note amortization of debt discount

 

As previously disclosed, and in accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Company is required to record non-cash interest expense related to its convertible notes to bring the effective interest rate to a level approximating that of a non-convertible note of similar size and tenor. Substantially all of the notes were redeemed in November 2011. Accordingly, the fourth quarter of 2011 is the last quarter of such additional interest expense. In the fourth quarter of 2011, CONMED recorded additional non-cash pre-tax interest charges of $0.6 million, compared to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. For the years 2011 and 2010, such charges amounted to $3.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively. These charges are included in the GAAP earnings per share set forth above, and excluded from the non-GAAP amounts.

 

Use of non-GAAP financial measures

 

Management has disclosed adjusted financial measurements in this press announcement that present financial information that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These measurements are not a substitute for GAAP measurements, although Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s on-going financial performance from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year on a regular basis, and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share measure the income of the Company excluding unusual credits or charges that are considered by management to be outside of the normal on-going operations of the Company. Management uses and presents adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share because management believes that in order to properly understand the Company’s short and long-term financial trends, the impact of unusual items should be eliminated from on-going operating activities. These adjustments for unusual items are derived from facts and circumstances that vary in frequency and impact on the Company’s results of operations. Management uses adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the Company as well as to compare results of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis. Adjusted financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Investors should consider adjusted measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management has provided the above reconciliation of net income before unusual items and amortization of debt discount as an additional measure that investors can use to compare operating performance between reporting periods. Management believes this reconciliation provides a useful presentation of operating performance as discussed in the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. We have included the amortization of debt discount in our analysis in order to facilitate comparison with the non-GAAP earnings guidance provided in the “Outlook” section of this and previous releases which exclude such expense.

Management has provided the above reconciliation of net income before unusual items and amortization of debt discount as an additional measure that investors can use to compare operating performance between reporting periods. Management believes this reconciliation provides a useful presentation of operating performance as discussed in the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. We have included the amortization of debt discount in our analysis in order to facilitate comparison with the non-GAAP earnings guidance provided in the “Outlook” section of this and previous releases which exclude such expense.
