LivaNova Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results

LONDON--()--LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ:LIVN), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

For the third quarter of 2018, worldwide sales from continuing operations were $272.1 million, an increase of 8.3 percent on a reported basis and an increase of 10.3 percent on a constant currency basis, as compared to the same quarter of the previous year. On the basis of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), third quarter 2018 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.13. Third quarter 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.78. Adjusted results include a non-recurring return reserve that reduced third quarter sales by approximately $3.4 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04.

"The third quarter results reflect our continued momentum in accelerating our sales growth while making significant investments to deliver on our long-term strategy. Results for third quarter 2018 were strong across all regions," said Damien McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of LivaNova. "Neuromodulation had another exceptional quarter of double-digit growth in all regions. Cardiovascular also performed well, driven by our oxygenator and autotransfusion businesses. Profitability in the quarter was impacted by higher than expected site activation for our ANTHEM-HFrEF Heart Failure pivotal trial. We remain confident in our ability to deliver on our 2018 guidance while aggressively investing in future growth to deliver quality care to more patients around the world."

All sales growth rates below reflect comparable, constant currency growth. Constant currency growth accounts for the impact from fluctuations in the various currencies in which the Company operates as compared to reported growth.

Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular sales, which include Cardiopulmonary products, Heart Valves and Advanced Circulatory Support, were $166.6 million, representing a 7.1 percent increase versus the third quarter of 2017.

Sales in Cardiopulmonary products were $127.9 million, representing a 5.9 percent increase versus the third quarter of 2017 primarily driven by growth in oxygenators and autotransfusion as well as continued heart-lung machine (HLM) momentum in both U.S. and Europe.

Heart Valve sales for both tissue and mechanical heart valves were $32.5 million, a decrease of 5.8 percent compared to the third quarter of 2017. Strong growth in Rest of World Perceval and traditional tissue heart valves was more than offset by a $3.4 million non-recurring return reserve and by continued declines in mechanical valves.

Advanced Circulatory Support sales, which represent our recently acquired TandemLife business, were $6.1 million in the quarter.

Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation sales were $104.9 million in the third quarter, representing a 15.8 percent increase versus the third quarter of 2017. The growth was driven by increasing demand for SenTiva® in the U.S. and Europe coupled with commercial expansion efforts in several international markets.

Financial Performance

On a U.S. GAAP basis, third quarter 2018 operating loss from continuing operations was $5.8 million. Adjusted operating income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2018 was $47.0 million, a decrease of 12.1 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2017. This was primarily due to increased investments in sales and marketing activities, product innovation and clinical trials to support sales growth and gross margin expansion, along with a negative impact from foreign currency.

Our adjusted effective tax rate in the quarter was 12.6 percent, an improvement from 23.5 percent in the third quarter of 2017, as a result of ongoing tax efforts and the recent changes in U.S. and U.K. tax laws.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, third quarter 2018 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.13. Third quarter 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.78, a decrease of 6.0 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2017.

2018 Guidance

LivaNova worldwide net sales for full-year 2018 are now expected to grow between 7 and 9 percent on a constant currency basis. Full-year 2018 effective tax rate is now expected to be in the range of 16 to 18 percent. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for 2018 are still expected to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.70.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not necessarily in accordance with GAAP. Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Non-GAAP 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. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, the operating performance measure as prescribed by GAAP.

Unless otherwise noted, all sales growth rates in this release reflect comparable, constant currency growth. Management believes that referring to comparable, constant currency growth is the most useful way to evaluate the sales performance of LivaNova and to compare the sales performance of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis. Constant currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in sales between current and prior-year periods using average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period.

LivaNova calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For example, forward-looking net sales growth projections are estimated on a constant currency basis and exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance exclude other items such as, but not limited to, changes in fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, asset impairment charges and product remediation costs that would be included in comparable GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for constant currency net sales, non-GAAP adjusted tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share are net sales, the effective tax rate, and earnings per share, respectively. However, non-GAAP financial adjustments on a forward-looking basis are subject to uncertainty and variability as they are dependent on many factors, including but not limited to, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures, gains or losses on the potential sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, merger and integration activities, changes in fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, product remediation costs, asset impairment charges, and the tax impact of the items above and the tax impact of tax law changes or other tax matters. Accordingly, reconciliations to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

The Company also believes adjusted financial measures such as adjusted gross profit; adjusted selling, general and administrative expense; adjusted research and development expense; adjusted other operating expenses; adjusted operating income from continued operations; adjusted income tax expense; adjusted net income from continuing operations; and adjusted diluted earnings per share, are measures by which LivaNova generally uses to facilitate management review of the operational performance of the company, to serve as a basis for strategic planning, and to assist in the design of compensation incentive plans. Furthermore, adjusted financial measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s core performance for different periods on a more comparable and consistent basis, and with other entities in the medical technology industry by adjusting for items that are not related to the ongoing operations of the Company or incurred in the ordinary course of business.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: (i) the inability of LivaNova to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting of tax treatments; (ii) organizational and governance structure; (iii) reductions in customer spending, a slowdown in customer payments and changes in customer demand for products and services; (iv) unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in the industries in which LivaNova operates; (v) the ability to hire and retain key personnel; (vi) the ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers in the manner anticipated; (vii) changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting LivaNova; (viii) international, national or local economic, social or political conditions that could adversely affect LivaNova, its partners or its customers; (ix) conditions in the credit markets; (x) business and other financial risks inherent to the industries in which LivaNova operates; (xi) risks associated with assumptions made in connection with critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; (xii) LivaNova’s international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls; (xiii) and the potential for international unrest, economic downturn or effects of currencies, tax assessments, tax adjustments, anticipated tax rates, raw material costs or availability, benefit or retirement plan costs, or other regulatory compliance costs. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the Company’s business, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission by LivaNova.

The Company does not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of the forward-looking statements in this press release to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
