CONMED Corporation (NYSE:CNMD) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

Sales of $277.2 million increased 8.6% year over year as reported and 9.8% in constant currency. Acquisitions contributed approximately 80 basis points of growth.
Domestic revenue increased 3.9% year over year.
International revenue increased 14.7% year over year as reported and 17.2% in constant currency.
Diluted net loss per share (GAAP) was $5.65 compared to diluted net earnings per share (GAAP) of $0.41 in the second quarter of 2021.
Adjusted diluted net earnings per share⁽¹⁾ were $0.76, an increase of 7.0% over the second quarter of 2021.
Closed In2Bones transaction on June 13, 2022.

"I'm proud that our team drove strong revenue growth in the second quarter while also refinancing our debt and closing the acquisition of In2Bones," commented Curt R. Hartman, CONMED's Chair of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue navigating the challenges of hospital staffing and inflation while remaining committed to enhancing the company's long-term growth and profitability profiles."

2022 Outlook

Due to changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company is lowering its revenue guidance for the full year 2022 and now expects revenue between $1.095 billion and $1.140 billion compared to its prior guidance of between $1.105 billion and $1.150 billion. Based on recent exchange rates, the Company now expects foreign exchange to have a 100 to 150 bps negative impact on full-year 2022 revenue growth.

The Company now expects full-year 2022 adjusted diluted net earnings per share in the range of $3.40 to $3.55, down from the prior range of $3.50 to $3.65 to account for a $0.10 currency headwind.

Supplemental Financial Disclosures

⁽¹⁾ A reconciliation of reported diluted net loss per share to adjusted diluted net earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, appears below.

(1) In 2022, the Company incurred inventory step-up adjustments and consulting and legal related costs associated with the acquisition of In2Bones Global, Inc..
(2) In 2022, the Company incurred costs related to the settlement of litigation.
(3) In 2022, the Company incurred costs related to the conversion premium on the repurchase and extinguishment of $275.0 million of its 2.625% Convertible Notes.
(4) In 2022, the Company incurred costs related to the settlement of convertible notes hedge transactions associated with the repurchase and extinguishment of $275.0 million of its 2.625% Convertible Notes.
(5) In 2022, the Company incurred costs related to the write-off of deferred financing fees associated with the repurchase and extinguishment of $275.0 million of its 2.625% Convertible Notes and term loan paydown.
(6) Includes amortization of intangible assets, deferred financing fees and debt discount.
(7) Non-GAAP adjusted dilutive weighted average shares outstanding exclude dilution that is expected to be offset by the Company's convertible notes hedge transactions.
(8) The Company adopted ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2022. As a result of the adoption, the Company is required to compute diluted EPS using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, the numerator is adjusted for interest expense applicable to its convertible notes (net of tax) and the denominator includes additional common shares assuming conversion premium and principal portion of the notes (when permitted or required) are settled in shares. Subsequent to June 6, 2022, the Company is required to settle the principal value of its convertible notes in cash. Adjustments in 2022 are applicable on a non-GAAP basis only since GAAP results are in a loss position and therefore exclude dilutive potential shares.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and the associated conference call may contain forward-looking statements based on certain assumptions and contingencies that involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance, or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements herein or in previous disclosures. For example, in addition to general industry and economic conditions, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, the risks posed to the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations by the COVID-19 global pandemic and the various government responses to the pandemic, including deferral of surgeries, reductions in hospital and ambulatory surgery center operating volumes, disruption to potential supply chain reliability; any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing as well as the risk factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the full year ended December 31, 2021. Any and all forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and relate to the Company's performance on a going-forward basis. The Company believes that all forward-looking statements made by it have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct.

Supplemental Information - Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company supplements the reporting of its financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; adjusted gross profit; cost of sales excluding specified items; adjusted selling and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income; adjusted interest expense; adjusted other expense; adjusted income tax expense (benefit); adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net income, adjusted diluted shares and adjusted diluted net earnings per share (EPS). The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and shareholders in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of its operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, its core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in the Company's underlying business. Further, the presentation of EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement that management considers useful for measuring aspects of the Company's cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with its budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP financial measures.

Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. The Company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, the Company removes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of net sales. To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, the Company excludes certain items that affect the comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing, may not be indicative of past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales growth, gross profit, cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses, operating income, interest expense, other expense, income tax expense (benefit), effective income tax rate, net income (loss), diluted shares and diluted net earnings (loss) per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures above, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
