WAYNE, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2017-- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2017.

Second quarter 2017 net revenues were $528.6 million, an increase of 11.6% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 12.9% over the year ago period.

Second quarter 2017 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 33.6% to $1.67, as compared to $1.25 in the prior year period. Second quarter 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 7.9% to $2.04, compared to $1.89 in the prior year period.

“During the second quarter of 2017, Teleflex continued to achieve solid results across our strategic business units and geographies, positioning us to reaffirm our full year constant currency revenue growth guidance range, while enabling us to once again increase our full year 2017 GAAP and adjusted earnings per share guidance ranges,” said Benson Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Setting aside the impact of Vascular Solutions and one fewer shipping day in the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2016, Teleflex posted solid growth on a constant currency basis, driven by strong performance in our OEM, Vascular North America, Surgical North America and EMEA segments. In addition, Vascular Solutions continues to perform in-line with our expectations and the integration activities associated with this acquisition remain on-track. Also within the quarter, we made significant progress with our distributor to direct conversion in China, and as such, we anticipate an acceleration in revenue growth in the second half of the year in China, as compared to the headwind we experienced during the first half of 2017."

Added Mr. Smith, "During the second quarter of 2017, we continued to execute on our margin expansion initiatives, delivering solid gross and operating margins. Finally, the Company continued to generate strong cash flow, enabling us to repay borrowings equivalent to approximately ten percent of the Vascular Solutions purchase price within only a few months after closing the transaction."

SECOND QUARTER NET REVENUE BY SEGMENT

The following table provides information regarding net revenues in each of the Company's reportable operating segments and all of its other operating segments for the three months ended July 2, 2017 and June 26, 2016 on both a GAAP and constant currency basis. The discussion below the table of the principal factors behind changes in net revenues for the three months ended July 2, 2017 as compared to the prior year period applies to both GAAP revenue and constant currency revenue, although GAAP revenue also was affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as indicated in the "Foreign Currency" column of the table.

Vascular North America second quarter 2017 net revenues were $93.5 million, an increase of 6.1% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 6.3% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes of existing products, which reflects the unfavorable impact of one less shipping day in the second quarter 2017, and an increase in new product sales.

Surgical North America second quarter 2017 net revenues were $44.7 million, an increase of 3.7% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 4.0% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in new product sales and price increases. Sales volumes of existing products, which were marginally higher than in the prior year period, were adversely affected by the impact of one less shipping day in the second quarter 2017.

Anesthesia North America second quarter 2017 net revenues were $49.1 million, a decrease of 0.2% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues decreased 0.1% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volumes of existing products, which reflects the unfavorable impact of one less shipping day in the second quarter 2017, partially offset by an increase in net revenues generated by an acquired business and an increase in new product sales.

EMEA second quarter 2017 net revenues were $132.0 million, an increase of 0.2% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 3.2% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes of existing products, despite the unfavorable impact of one less shipping day in the second quarter 2017, and an increase in new product sales.

Asia second quarter 2017 net revenues were $64.0 million, an increase of 1.3% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 3.1%. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to price increases and an increase in new product sales. Increases in sales volumes of existing products were more than offset by volume declines resulting from the distributor to direct sales conversion in China.

OEM and Development Services (“OEM”) second quarter 2017 net revenues were $45.1 million, an increase of 12.0% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 12.5% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to net revenues generated by an acquired business and an increase in sales volumes of existing products.

All Other second quarter 2017 net revenues were $100.2 million, an increase of 73.0% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, second quarter 2017 net revenues increased 73.1% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to net revenues generated by sales of Vascular Solutions' products.

Depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing charges for the first six months of 2017 totaled $72.3 million compared to $64.6 million for the prior year period.

2017 OUTLOOK

The Company raised its full year 2017 GAAP revenue growth guidance range from 10.0% to 11.5% to a range of 11.5% to 13.0% over the prior year. The Company's previous 2017 GAAP revenue growth guidance range reflected the anticipated 2.5% unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company's current 2017 GAAP revenue growth guidance range reflects an anticipated 1.0% unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, the Company reaffirmed its estimate that revenues for full year 2017 will increase 12.5% to 14.0%. The forecasted revenue growth includes the impact of Vascular Solutions' product sales, which are expected to contribute approximately 8.5% to 9.0% to our revenue growth on a GAAP and constant currency basis.

The Company raised its full year 2017 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance from a range of $5.59 to $5.66 to a range of $5.91 to $5.98.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include:

Adjusted diluted earnings per share. This non-GAAP measure is based upon diluted earnings per share, adjusted to exclude, depending on the period presented (i) restructuring and other impairment charges; (ii) certain losses and other charges, including, for 2017, costs related to the Company's acquisition of Vascular Solutions, facility consolidation costs and income associated with a litigation settlement and, for 2016, charges primarily related to facility consolidation costs; (iii) amortization of the debt discount on the Company’s convertible notes; (iv) intangible amortization expense; (v) tax benefits resulting primarily from the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for prior year returns, the resolution of audits, the filing of amended returns with respect to prior tax years and/or tax law changes affecting the Company's deferred tax liability; and (vi) loss on extinguishment of debt. In addition, the calculation of diluted shares within adjusted earnings per share gives effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the Company’s convertible note hedge agreements, which reduce the potential economic dilution that otherwise would occur upon conversion of the Company’s senior subordinated convertible notes (under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the convertible note hedge agreements is not reflected in diluted shares).

Constant currency revenue growth. This non-GAAP measure is based upon net revenues, adjusted to eliminate the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period.

Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that do not reflect Teleflex’s day-to-day operations and, as a result, they facilitate comparisons of financial results exclusive of items that can fluctuate in a manner that may not reflect the performance of our business. In addition, management believes that the calculation of non-GAAP diluted shares is useful to investors because it provides insight into the offsetting economic effect of the convertible note hedge against conversions of the convertible notes. 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Tables reconciling historical adjusted diluted earnings per share to historical GAAP earnings per share are set forth below. A table reconciling historical constant currency net revenues to GAAP net revenues is set forth above under “Second Quarter Net Revenues by Segment.” Tables reconciling forecasted 2017 constant currency revenue growth and forecasted 2017 adjusted earnings per share to their respective most directly comparable forecasted GAAP measures are set forth above under “2017 Outlook.”

(A) In 2017, losses and other charges, net related primarily to income associated with a litigation settlement, somewhat offset by costs associated with the acquisition of Vascular Solutions and facility consolidation costs. In 2016, losses and other charges, net related primarily to facility consolidations.

(B) The tax adjustment represents a net benefit resulting primarily from the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for prior year returns, the resolution of audits, the filing of amended returns with respect to prior tax years and/or tax law changes affecting our deferred tax liability.

(C) Adjusted diluted shares are calculated by giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the Company’s convertible note hedge agreements, which reduce the potential economic dilution that otherwise would occur upon conversion of the Company's convertible notes. Under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the convertible note hedge agreements is not reflected in diluted shares.
