Teleflex Completes Acquisition of BIOTRONIK's Vascular Intervention Business
WAYNE, Pa., July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider of medical technologies, today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of substantially all of the Vascular Intervention business of BIOTRONIK SE & Co. KG. The acquisition adds a broad portfolio of therapeutic products to Teleflex's portfolio of interventional access products, driving an enhanced global presence in the cath lab. The Vascular Intervention business will also establish Teleflex's global footprint in the fast-growing peripheral intervention market, and provide a channel for Teleflex products that currently have a peripheral indication.
On February 27, 2025, Teleflex announced its entry into a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of BIOTRONIK's Vascular Intervention business. Under the terms of the agreement, Teleflex acquired the Vascular Intervention business for a cash payment of €760 million, less certain adjustments as provided in the purchase agreement, including certain working capital not transferring and other customary adjustments.
"We are pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of substantially all of the Vascular Intervention business of BIOTRONIK earlier than expected" said Liam Kelly, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teleflex. "The acquisition will significantly enhance our global presence in the cath lab, expand our suite of innovative technologies, and improve patient care. We believe the acquisition will allow us to position this advanced coronary portfolio alongside our existing Interventional business and establish our global footprint in the fast-growing peripheral intervention market. The acquired business is rooted in robust research and development, clinical expertise, and global manufacturing capabilities, which we believe will further bolster Teleflex's innovation pipeline, and position the company to participate in the emerging potential for resorbable scaffold technologies. We will provide additional details on our second quarter earnings conference call."
The acquired Vascular Intervention business consists of a comprehensive and differentiated portfolio for coronary and peripheral interventions performed in the cath lab and interventional radiology suites. In coronary vascular interventions, key products include the Pantera™ Lux™ Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter, the novel PK Papyrus™ Covered Coronary Stent for acute coronary artery perforations, and the Orsiro™ Mission Drug Eluting Stent, an ultrathin drug-eluting stent with differentiated clinical features. For peripheral interventions, the portfolio includes the Passeo™-18 Lux™ Peripheral Drug-Coated Balloon Catheter, Dynetic™-35 Balloon-Expandable Cobalt Chromium Stent, the Pulsar™-18 T3 Self-Expanding 4F Stent, and the Oscar™ peripheral multifunctional catheter system.
The acquisition of the Vascular Intervention business will also allow Teleflex the opportunity to invest in and expand the clinical trial program for Freesolve™, a sirolimus-eluting Resorbable Metallic Scaffold (RMS) technology, including plans to initiate a U.S. pivotal study. Freesolve™, which received its CE Mark in February 2024, is indicated in CE-mark accepting countries for de novo coronary artery lesions. The combination of temporary scaffolding with drug delivery is anticipated to address the current trend in interventional coronary and endovascular procedures toward leaving behind less permanent hardware. As demonstrated in the BIOMAG-I study, Freesolve™ RMS demonstrated resorption after 12 months, a target lesion failure rate comparable to contemporary drug-eluting stents, and no definite or probable scaffold thrombosis.1,2 The European pivotal BIOMAG-II study is now enrolling.
Vascular Intervention Acquisition Financial Outlook
Given the earlier than expected completion of the Vascular Intervention acquisition, we now expect the acquired products to generate revenues of €177 million in the second half of 2025 or $204 million. As previously disclosed, we expect the acquired products to generate €91 million in revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 or $105 million. Beginning in 2026, we expect sales of the acquired products to deliver annual constant currency revenue growth of 6% or better.
Excluding non-recurring purchase accounting items and other acquisition and integration related costs, the transaction is still expected to be approximately $0.10 accretive to the Company's adjusted earnings per share in the first year of ownership, and to be increasingly accretive, thereafter.
