Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2017.

First quarter 2017 net revenues were $487.9 million, an increase of 14.8% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 16.0% over the year ago period.

First quarter 2017 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 17.1% to $0.87, as compared to $1.05 in the prior year period. The decrease in GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is due to costs incurred associated with the acquisition of Vascular Solutions. First quarter 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 18.4% to $1.80, compared to $1.52 in the prior year period.

“Following a solid fourth quarter performance to end 2016, I am pleased to report that the Company is off to a strong start in 2017, aided in part by the additional shipping days in the quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2016,” said Benson Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “During the first quarter, the strength in our business was broad-based, covering several of our operating segments. This includes our recent acquisition of Vascular Solutions which contributed meaningfully to our revenue growth during its partial quarter of ownership, accounting for approximately 5% of our total company revenue growth."

Added Mr. Smith, "We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter and remain confident in our outlook for 2017 and are reaffirming our full year constant currency revenue growth guidance range, while increasing our full year adjusted earnings per share guidance range."

FIRST 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 April 2, 2017 and March 27, 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 April 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 first quarter 2017 net revenues were $93.8 million, an increase of 15.0% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 14.8% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes, including the impact of an increase in the number of shipping days in the first quarter 2017.

Surgical North America first quarter 2017 net revenues were $46.0 million, an increase of 18.0% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 17.7% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes, including the impact of an increase in the number of shipping days in the first quarter 2017, and an increase in new product sales.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 4.7% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes resulting from the impact of an increase in the number of shipping days in the first quarter 2017, as well as new product sales and price increases. The increase in net revenues was partially offset by a decrease in sales volumes of existing products excluding the impact of an increase in the number of shipping days in the first quarter 2017.

EMEA first quarter 2017 net revenues were $130.7 million, an increase of 7.1% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 10.9% compared to the prior year period.

Asia first quarter 2017 net revenues were $49.0 million, a decrease of 0.4% compared to the prior year period on both a GAAP and constant currency basis. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volumes including the impact of the distributor to direct sales conversion in China, partially offset by an increase in new product sales and price increases.

OEM and Development Services (“OEM”) first quarter 2017 net revenues were $43.3 million, an increase of 27.6% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 28.4% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue is primarily attributable to an increase in sales volumes and net revenues generated by an acquired business.

All Other first quarter 2017 net revenues were $76.9 million, an increase of 44.5% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2017 net revenues increased 45.0% 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.

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS

Depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing charges for the first three months of 2017 totaled $34.4 million compared to $32.3 million for the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents at April 2, 2017 were $689.1 million compared to $543.8 million at December 31, 2016.

Net accounts receivable at April 2, 2017 were $282.9 million compared to $272.0 million at December 31, 2016.

Net inventories at April 2, 2017 were $355.3 million compared to $316.2 million at December 31, 2016.

2017 OUTLOOK

On a GAAP basis, revenues in 2017 are expected to increase 10.0% to 11.5% over the prior year, reflecting the anticipated 2.5% unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, the Company estimates 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 $5.04 to $5.08 to a range of $5.59 to $5.66. The increase in the full year 2017 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance range is primarily due to changes in projected intangible amortization expense associated with the acquisition of Vascular Solutions. The Company raised its full year 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance from a range of $8.00 to $8.15 to a guidance range of $8.05 to $8.23.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

References in this release to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on adjusted diluted earnings per share include both the impact of translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated transactions.

In the discussion of segment results, "new products" refers to products we have sold for 36 months or less, and "existing products" refers to products we have sold for more than 36 months.

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

Segment results and commentary exclude the impact of discontinued operations.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

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

Adjusted diluted earnings per share. This measure excludes, 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 and facility consolidation costs and, for 2016, charges primarily related to facility consolidation and acquisition costs, net of reversals related to contingent consideration liabilities and the gain on sale of the sale of an asset; (iii) amortization of the debt discount on the Company’s convertible notes; (iv) intangible amortization expense; (v) loss on extinguishment of debt; and (vi) 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. 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 measure excludes 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. Tables reconciling constant currency net revenues to GAAP net revenues and reconciling forecasted non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forecasted GAAP measures are set forth above.

(A) In 2017, losses and other charges, net related primarily to costs associated with the acquisition of Vascular Solutions and facility consolidation costs. In 2016, losses and other charges, net related primarily to facility consolidations and the gain on sale of an asset.

(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.
