Teleflex Reports First Quarter 2011 Results

LIMERICK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX), a leading, global provider of medical technology products, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 27, 2011.

“We also reached several agreements that position us for increased medical product revenue growth as the year progresses”

First quarter 2011 net revenues were $388.7 million, an increase of 6% over the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, first quarter 2011 net revenues increased 6% over the prior year period.

First quarter 2011 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.42, a decrease of 49% over the prior year period. First quarter 2011 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (previously referred to as “adjusted diluted cash earnings per share from continuing operations”) was $0.96, a decrease of 5% over the prior year period.

"In the first quarter, our team made significant progress towards completing our transition to a global medical technology leader and executing on our strategic plan," said Benson Smith, Chairman, President & CEO. "We completed several transactions that allow us to redeploy resources to our core medical business, while exiting non-medical segments and reducing debt. At the same time, we increased the year over year revenue growth rate within our medical business and intend to build on the first quarter momentum during the remainder of the year.”

Added Mr. Smith, “During the quarter, we enhanced our competitive position in the medical business by acquiring the VasoNova™ VPS™ vascular positioning system, a central venous catheter tip navigation system. In March, VasoNova received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for expanded use of the VPS tip location technology as an alternative to chest x-ray or fluoroscopy in adult patients during peripherally inserted central catheter procedures. This unique confirmation technology eliminates the need for costly X-rays and revision procedures, which we believe is an important advance in the evolution of vascular access. In addition, during the quarter, we received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for our Arrow® NextStep™ Antegrade Chronic Hemodialysis catheter, which is designed to attain long term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis.”

“We also reached several agreements that position us for increased medical product revenue growth as the year progresses,” continued Mr. Smith. “For example, we expanded our vascular access product offerings with a global distribution agreement for POLYSITE® intravenous implantable infusion ports. In addition, we were awarded three new group purchasing organization (GPO) contracts and received two GPO contract extensions for a combination of vascular access, surgical, respiratory and anesthesia products. At the same time, we continue to focus resources on medical product R&D and acquiring unique technologies in order to drive future introduction of new, differentiated products designed to expand market share, increase growth opportunities and build shareholder returns.”

2011 OUTLOOK

In the first quarter of 2011, management approved a plan to sell the Company’s Aerospace businesses. The Company has begun actively marketing the cargo container business, while it continues to serve its customers and provide appropriate transition. For financial statement purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of this business have been segregated from those of continuing operations and are presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to reflect this presentation.

The cargo container business was expected to contribute annual revenue, adjusted earnings per share, and cash flow from operations of $50 million, $0.05 per diluted share, and $5 million, respectively. As a result, the Company is adjusting its financial estimates with respect to forecasted 2011 revenue from a range of $1.625 billion to $1.655 billion to a range of $1.575 billion to $1.605 billion; adjusted earnings per share from a range of $4.50 to $4.70 to a range of $4.45 to $4.65; and cash flow from continuing operations from $230 million to $225 million.

LONGER-TERM GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY OBJECTIVES

With the portfolio transition to healthcare largely complete, we have increased our focus on delivering long-term growth and profitability. As such, we are targeting the achievement of the following objectives within the next five years:

  • Consolidated revenue growth of approximately 5%
  • Consolidated gross margins of approximately 55%
  • Consolidated research and development expense of approximately 5%
  • Consolidated operating margins of approximately 25%
  • Return on equity of approximately 15%

We believe revenue growth will be achieved through the introduction of new products and product line extensions, expansion of our geographic reach, leveraging our existing distribution channels, further investment in our global sales and marketing groups and select acquisitions that enhance or expedite our development initiatives and our ability to increase our market share. We anticipate that margin expansion will be achieved through various initiatives which may include: consolidation of distribution facilities; efficiencies gained from the reduction of third-party vendors; consolidation and productivity improvements of manufacturing locations and customer service; and further initiatives to realize increased efficiencies with respect to general and administrative expenses. We expect that some of these benefits to be offset by increases in spending in research and development.

CONFERENCE CALL WEBCAST AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As previously announced, Teleflex will comment on its first quarter 2011 results on a conference call to be held today at 8:00 a.m. (ET). The call will be available live and archived on the company’s website at www.teleflex.com and the accompanying presentation will be posted prior to the call. An audio replay will be available until May 3, 2011, 12:00pm (ET), by calling 888-286-8010 (U.S./Canada) or 617-801-6888 (International), Passcode: 32439030.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Constant currency revenue and growth exclude the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. Constant currency revenue and growth include activity of a purchased company beyond the initial twelve months after the date of acquisition.

Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.

Segment results and commentary exclude the impact of discontinued operations, items included in restructuring and impairment charges, and losses and other charges set forth in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures include adjusted diluted earnings per share (previously referred to as “adjusted diluted cash earnings per share”), which excludes the effect of charges associated with our restructuring programs and asset impairments, losses and other charges related to refinancing transactions, costs associated with severance payments and benefits to be provided to our former chief executive officer, intangible amortization expense and the amortization of debt discount on convertible notes; and constant currency revenue and growth, which exclude the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. Consistent with past practice, adjusted diluted earnings per share has not been adjusted to exclude the benefit resulting from the forfeiture of equity awards. Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that do not reflect Teleflex’s day-to-day operations. In addition, management uses these financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to assist in our evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Tables reconciling these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are set forth below.
