ELYRIA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) ("Invacare" or the "company") today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.
Third Quarter 2018 Highlights
- Reported net sales decreased 2.5% to $244.6 million and constant currency net sales(a) decreased 2.2% compared to 3Q17.*
- Constant currency sequential net sales(b) increased 2.2% compared to 2Q18. Constant currency sequential net sales increased in the Europe and Institutional Products Group ("IPG") segments and decreased in the North America/Home Medical Equipment ("NA/HME") and Asia Pacific segments.
- Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased 140 basis points to 26.8% compared to 3Q17 primarily as a result of rising material costs associated with U.S. tariffs, higher freight costs incurred in NA/HME and Europe, and unfavorable operational variances in Europe.
- Operating loss was $5.3 million, an improvement of $0.6 million compared to 3Q17, attributable to reduced SG&A expense offset by lower gross profit.
- GAAP loss per share was $0.36, compared to loss per share of $0.57 in 3Q17, and adjusted net loss per share(c) was $0.40 compared to adjusted net loss per share of $0.41 in 3Q17. GAAP loss per share for 3Q18 benefited from net gain on convertible debt derivatives.
- Free cash flow(d) usage was $2.5 million compared to usage of $4.8 million in 3Q17, an improvement of $2.3 million.
- EBITDA(e) was negative $1.0 million, an improvement of $1.2 million compared to 3Q17. EBITDA benefited from a decrease of $0.8 million in equity compensation expense compared to 3Q17.
- The company resolved the 2010 FDA warning letter at its Sanford, FL facility and the 2017 letter related to the Albstadt, Germany facility.

CEO Summary
“The third quarter performance was mixed with slight constant currency net sales growth in Europe, continued sales growth in the North America mobility and seating product category of 8.9% and IPG sales growth of 8.8% compared to 3Q17. These positive accomplishments were diminished by unfavorable trends in respiratory and lifestyle products that led to lower consolidated sales and contribution margin and less operating income and EBITDA progress than expected.
We believe U.S. providers were being cautious about investing in new equipment in anticipation of the reimbursement changes which were issued by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) on November 1, 2018 and will become effective January 1, 2019. We believe such uncertainty before the final determination from CMS negatively impacted both respiratory and lifestyle product volumes in the NA/HME segment. These conditions could persist beyond the first quarter 2019 until providers assess their business prospects and the market stabilizes.
In addition, NA/HME experienced significantly higher costs from materials sourced both internationally and domestically largely due to the impact of tariffs of approximately $1.3 million during the quarter. This was significantly higher than our previous estimate of the impact from tariffs related to increased material costs from suppliers. We anticipate the cost increases will continue to be a headwind on our business, and we are focused on identifying and executing remediation actions to potentially reduce this negative impact going forward.
Operating loss and EBITDA improved compared to 3Q17 benefiting primarily from reduced SG&A expense partially offset by reduced gross profit. Compared to 3Q17, the company's cash flow usage improved by $2.3 million. We believe our capital structure and balance sheet will support us through the transformation. Our focus is on driving the right mix of sales and optimizing costs,” said Matthew E. Monaghan, chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Europe - Constant currency net sales increased slightly compared to 3Q17 driven by increases in mobility and seating sales partially offset by decreases in lifestyle and respiratory products. The company continues to apply its transformation strategy to this segment to focus more on clinically valued, higher-margin products. Compared to 2Q18, constant currency sequential net sales improved 8.5%, which reflects historical trends as the third quarter of the year is typically this segment's strongest quarter for net sales. Operating income and gross profit decreased slightly compared to 3Q17 principally due increased R&D expense, unfavorable manufacturing variances and increased freight costs primarily related to product transfers associated with facility consolidation. Excluding the temporary impact of unfavorable manufacturing variances and freight related to product transfers of approximately $0.5 million, gross margin would have shown year-over-year improvement.
North America/Home Medical Equipment (NA/HME) - Constant currency net sales decreased 6.9% compared to 3Q17 driven by decreases in respiratory and lifestyle product sales which more than offset increases of 8.9% in mobility and seating products. Respiratory product sales decreased in all product categories compared to 3Q17. Compared to 2Q18, constant currency sequential net sales decreased 7.6% primarily due to lower respiratory product sales and to a lesser extent lower lifestyle products sales and slower growth in mobility and seating products. Operating loss increased slightly compared to 3Q17 primarily due to reduced gross margin, partially offset by reduced SG&A expense, due largely to lower employment costs. Gross margin was negatively affected by lower net sales and by unfavorable material costs and higher freight expense, both of which were impacted by tariffs. The negative impact of tariffs and related material cost increases was approximately $1.3 million in 3Q18.
Institutional Products Group (IPG) - Constant currency net sales increased by 8.8% and constant currency sequential net sales increased by 10.7% compared to 2Q18 primarily attributable to increased sales of interior design projects and bed products. Operating income improved compared to 3Q17 principally due to an increase in sales and reduced warranty expense.
Asia/Pacific - Constant currency net sales decreased 13.0% compared to 3Q17 principally driven by decreased sales in institutional products, primarily bed products in Australia, as well as decreases in mobility and seating and lifestyle products. Operating income decreased compared to 3Q17 as a result of a net sales decrease partially offset by reduced R&D expense.
Financial Condition
The company's cash and cash equivalents balances were $118.3 million and $176.5 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The decrease in cash was the result of normal operations and continued investment in our transformation strategy.
Free cash flow usage for 3Q18 was $2.5 million compared to usage of $4.8 million in 3Q17, an improvement of $2.3 million. The improvement was primarily related to proceeds received on the sale of property and equipment partially offset by purchases of other property and equipment, as well as higher inventory levels. Inventory levels are higher compared to last year largely due to the sales shortfall in the NA/HME segment and facility consolidation in Europe.
Outlook
The company's pursuit of profitable sales growth and cost reductions is expected to lead to achieving its long-term operating income and EBITDA goals. While the company remains positive about the growth potential of its businesses, there is much more work to be done, especially in North America to accelerate the return to profitable growth and offset inflationary pressures driven by the effects of tariffs. The company will undertake additional actions to streamline operations, and resize and reshape the organization. For example, the company announced a reduction in force in North America on November 1, 2018 which is expected to yield annualized savings of $5.0 million.
In North America, the company's focus will be on continued growth in the mobility and seating product category and implementing a multi-channel approach to ambulatory oxygen products, lifestyle products and the IPG segment. We anticipate positive constant currency net sales growth in the mobility and seating segment. However, further consolidation of healthcare customers could result in additional pricing pressure. The company expects the reimbursement changes announced by CMS on November 1, 2018, which will be effective January 1, 2019, could have a negative impact on net sales beyond the first quarter of 2019 as providers are cautious to invest in inventory before the impacts of the national competitive bidding changes are fully known and assess the regional markets they will pursue.
While the company realized slight constant currency net sales growth in the Europe segment in 3Q18, the segment may continue to experience reduced sales in 4Q18 as it shifts its product mix toward more clinically valued, higher-margin products. The company expects sales growth in Europe during 2019 as it realizes the benefit of new product introductions.
As noted last quarter, the company anticipates in the near-term an unfavorable impact on its results due to tariffs, increased freight costs, as well as increased commodity and material costs directly related to those same factors, particularly in consideration of new tariffs introduced in September 2018. The specific impact is difficult to estimate as the U.S. federal government's policy on tariffs continues to be implemented, and the company may not be able to fully offset any increases with internal actions such as alternative supply chain arrangements, price increases to customers and other actions. These higher costs may make the company's products less price-competitive in its markets. The company implemented a price increase in October for lifestyle and respiratory products and continues to absorb significant cost increases in complex rehab products. Based on the level of tariffs implemented through September, the company estimates an annual unfavorable impact, if unmitigated, of between $5 to $7 million.
Given these pressures on the business, the company expects to be diligent in managing investments and SG&A expenses for the remainder of the year. Working capital needs are expected to expand as the business grows, especially in support of expected increases in mobility and seating sales, which require substantial working capital and demonstration units to be effective. Previously, the company guided that free cash flow usage for 2018 would be similar to 2017, however, the company believes that cash flow usage may increase given the headwinds described above, including the impact of tariffs, national competitive bidding uncertainty and increased inventory related to net sales declines, specifically in respiratory products, and to product transfers in Europe. The company will continue to take actions to minimize cash flow usage for the remainder of the year. Based on current expectations, the company believes its cash balances and available borrowing capacity should be sufficient to fund its transformation.
The company will continue to emphasize a culture of quality and operational excellence, profitable sales growth and the achievement of its long-term objectives.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(a) As used throughout this document, "constant currency net sales" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current year's functional constant currency net sales are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's sales to calculate the constant currency net sales change. The "Business Segments Net Sales" table accompanying this release compares net sales as reported and net sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange translation by segment and for the consolidated company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measures in the "Business Segment Net Sales" table included in this press release.
(b) As used throughout this document, "constant currency sequential net sales" is a non-GAAP financial measure in which a given quarter's net sales are compared to the most recent prior quarter's net sales with each quarter's net sales translated at the foreign exchange rates for the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The "Business Segment Sequential Net Sales" table accompanying this release compares net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 to each other with both periods translated at the foreign exchange rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measures in the "Business Segment Sequential Net Sales" table included in this press release.
(c) As used throughout this document, "adjusted net loss per share" ("Adjusted EPS") is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as adjusted net loss(g) divided by weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution. It should be noted that the company's definition of Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies and analysts calculate Adjusted EPS in the same manner. The company believes that its exclusion adjustments are generally recognized by the industry in which it operates as relevant in computing Adjusted EPS as a supplementary non-GAAP financial measure used by financial analysts and others in the company's industry to meaningfully evaluate operating performance. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation of Net Loss Per Share to Adjusted Net Loss per Share” table located after the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations included in this press release.
(d) As used throughout this document, "free cash flow" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net cash used by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds, including advances from sales of property and equipment. Management believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the overall financial performance of the company and its ability to repay debt or make future investments. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation from Net Cash Used by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow” table located after the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this press release.
(e) As used throughout this document, "Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization" ("EBITDA") is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net loss plus: income taxes, interest expense-net, net gain or loss on convertible debt derivatives and depreciation and amortization. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information which is used by financial analysts and others in the company's industry to evaluate the performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA” table included in this press release.
(f) "Constant Currency SG&A" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as SG&A expense excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current period's functional constant currency SG&A expenses are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's SG&A expenses to calculate the constant currency SG&A expenses change.
(g) As used throughout this document, "adjusted net loss" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as adjusted net loss before income taxes net of adjusted income taxes. Adjusted net loss before income taxes is computed as the net loss excluding the amortization of convertible debt discounts recorded in interest expense ($2.9 million and $8.6 million pre-tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $2.6 million and $6.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively), and net gain (loss) on convertible debt derivatives (net gains of $4.1 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to net losses of $2.6 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively). Adjusted income taxes are computed as taxes as calculated for GAAP then adjusted for an expense or benefit at the statutory rate related to pretax adjustments related to locations without a valuation allowance, the exclusion of uncertain tax liabilities deemed not related to current operations or the exclusion of taxes related to nonrecurring sales of non-inventory product or entities on an intercompany basis. (Note: The U.S. is in a full valuation allowance and accordingly, no tax expense adjustments are appropriate related to U.S. pre-tax adjustments.) This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation of Net Loss per Share to Adjusted Net Loss Per Share” table included after the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations included in this press release.
