• Sales increased 18% to $405 million, with organic growth of 18%.
• GAAP net income increased $11 million to $27 million, an increase of 70%. Non-GAAP adjusted net income increased $11 million to $43 million, an increase of 35%.

• Adjusted EBITDA increased $18 million to $81 million, an increase of 28%.
• From the end of 2022, total debt increased $16 million to $941 million and net total debt increased $17 million to $924 million, mostly attributable to fees associated with the $500 million convertible notes and the $35 million related capped call, resulting in a leverage ratio of 3.1 times adjusted EBITDA as of September 29, 2023.

Acquired certain assets of InNeuroCo, Inc. to further strengthen neurovascular catheter capabilities

• Closed acquisition October 1, 2023 and expect it to be immediately accretive to EPS.
• InNeuroCo brings deep design expertise and manufacturing capabilities in high growth neurovascular catheters used primarily in the treatment of ischemic stroke and intracranial aneurysms.
• $42 million purchase price plus additional consideration contingent on achieving specific revenue targets through 2027.
• The acquisition structure provides tax deductions that are expected to offset cash taxes by approximately $5 million, net present value, over the next 15 years.
• InNeuroCo 2023 sales estimated to be approximately $25 million with accretive margin profile. Integer's fourth quarter 2023 outlook includes $5 million sales and $1 million adjusted operating income from InNeuroCo.

"Integer delivered another strong quarter with organic sales up 18% and adjusted operating income growth of 39%, more than twice the sales growth rate," said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer's president and CEO. "As we continue to see strong customer demand across our targeted growth markets, we are increasing our full year sales outlook to 15% growth at the midpoint. Additionally, we are raising our adjusted operating income outlook to 25% growth at midpoint. As part of our growth strategy, we completed the tuck-in acquisition of InNeuroCo on October 1st to further strengthen our neurovascular catheter capabilities."

Discussion of Product Line Third Quarter 2023 Sales

• Cardio & Vascular sales increased 23% in the third quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022, driven by continued strong demand across all markets, growth in key products such as guidewires, new product ramps in electrophysiology and structural heart, and supply chain improvements.
• Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation sales increased 22% in the third quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022, with double-digit growth in both CRM and Neuromodulation, driven by strong demand, including double-digit growth from emerging customers with PMA (pre-market approval) products, and supply chain improvements.
• Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical sales declined 13% in the third quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022, driven by execution of the planned multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022, and low double-digit decline of Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics.
• Electrochem sales decreased 25% in the third quarter 2023 compared to the third quarter 2022, returning to a normalized run-rate after previously higher sales from the supply chain recovery.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we provide adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change rates.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS consist of GAAP amounts adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) certain legal expenses, (iii) restructuring and restructuring-related charges; (iv) acquisition and integration related costs; (v) other general expenses; (vi) (gain) loss on equity investments; (vii) extinguishment of debt charges; (viii) European Union medical device regulation incremental charges, (ix) inventory step-up amortization; (x) unusual, or infrequently occurring items; (xi) the income tax provision (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xii) certain tax items that are outside the normal tax provision for the period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation expense, and amortization expense from intangible assets and financing leases, to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus adding back stock-based compensation and the same adjustments as listed above except for items (i), (vii), (xi) and (xii). Adjusted operating income consists of operating income adjusted for the same items listed above except for items (vi), (vii), (xi) and (xii).

Organic sales change is reported sales growth adjusted for the impact of foreign currency and the contribution of acquisitions. To calculate the impact of foreign currency on sales growth rates, we convert any sale made in a foreign currency by converting current period sales into prior period sales using the exchange rate in effect at that time and then compare the two, negating any effect foreign currency had on our transactional revenue, and exclude the amount of sales acquired or divested during the period from the current/previous period amounts, respectively.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change rates, provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to the performance measures identified above, we believe that net total debt and leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our activities, including the financing of acquisitions and debt repayments. Net total debt is calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. We calculate leverage ratio as net total debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 4 quarters. Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities (as stated in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) reduced by capital expenditures (acquisition of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), net of proceeds from the sale of PP&E).

(a)	The difference between pre-tax and net of tax amounts is the estimated tax impact related to the respective adjustment. Net of tax amounts are computed using a 21% U.S. tax rate, and the statutory tax rates applicable in foreign tax jurisdictions, as adjusted for the existence of net operating losses ("NOLs"). Expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes (i.e. permanent tax differences) are added back at 100%.
(b)	We initiate discrete restructuring programs primarily to realign resources to better serve our customers and markets, improve operational efficiency and capabilities, and lower operating costs or improve profitability. Depending on the program, restructuring charges may include termination benefits, contract termination, facility closure and other exit and disposal costs. Restructuring-related expenses are directly related to the program and may include retention bonuses, accelerated depreciation, consulting expense and costs to transfer manufacturing operations among our facilities.
(c)	Acquisition and integration costs are incremental costs that are directly related to a business or asset acquisition. These costs may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees, system integration costs, and fair value adjustments relating to contingent consideration.
(d)	Other general expenses are discrete transactions occurring sporadically and affect period-over-period comparisons. The expenses for the 2023 and 2022 periods primarily include severance, information technology systems conversion expenses, and expenses related to the restructuring of certain legal entities of the company.
(e)	During the third quarter of 2023, we determined that an investment in one of our non-marketable equity securities was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $3.3 million. The residual amounts for 2023 and 2022 relate to our share of equity method investee losses including unrealized appreciation/depreciation of the underlying interests of the investee.
(f)	Loss on extinguishment of debt consists of accelerated write-offs of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts which are included in interest expense. The 2023 amounts represent a write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts in connection with the amendments to the credit agreement governing our credit facilities, prepayments of portions of the Term Loan A facility, and repayment in full of our Term B Loan Facility.
(g)	The charges represent incremental costs of complying with the new European Union medical device regulations for previously registered products and primarily include charges for contractors supporting the project and other direct third-party expenses.
(h)	For the 2023 periods, amounts relate to costs associated with leadership transitions and certain formal strategic projects. Leadership transition costs primarily include severance costs associated with the departure of executives and incremental costs associated with the related leadership transitions. Strategic projects primarily involve system reconfiguration to support our manufacturing excellence operational strategic imperative and investments in certain technology and platform development to align our capabilities to meet customer needs. Other adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023 included pre-tax leadership transition costs of $0.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and pre-tax costs related to strategic projects of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The 2022 amounts relate to a former customer that filed bankruptcy in November 2019 and are predominantly due to favorable settlements on supplier purchase order termination clauses and benefits recognized from the utilization or sale of previously reserved inventory.
(i)	For the 2023 and 2022 periods, tax adjustments predominately relate to acquired foreign tax credits, including utilization, changes to uncertain tax benefits and associated interest. For the 2022 periods, tax adjustments also include acquisition costs that are not deductible for tax purposes.
(j)	The accounting associated with our acquisitions require us to record inventory at its fair value, which is sometimes greater than the previous book value of inventory. The increase in inventory value is amortized to cost of sales over the period that the related inventory is sold. We exclude inventory step-up amortization from our non-GAAP financial measures because it is a non-cash expense that we do not believe is indicative of our ongoing operating results.

Please see "Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information" for additional information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures.
