Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 2024 results present a mixed financial picture. $170.4M in net sales shows a slight 0.5% decline year-over-year, while adjusted EBITDA improved to $30.6M from $27.8M. The company's transformation efforts are yielding cost savings, evident in the improved adjusted operating profit of $25.3M versus $23.0M last year.

Key concerns include underperformance in surgical pain products and declining HA pricing, though bright spots exist in digestive health and Game Ready segments. The revised full-year guidance of $683-688M in revenue and adjusted EPS of $1.30-1.35 suggests cautious optimism. The balance sheet remains stable with $89M cash and reduced debt of $162M.

Corporate Governance Expert

The CEO transition marks a significant leadership change during a important transformation period. The appointment of CFO Michael Greiner as interim CEO provides continuity, given his role in executing the three-year transformation plan. However, the timing amid ongoing restructuring initiatives and market challenges creates uncertainty. The retention of outgoing CEO Joe Woody as a consultant through April 2025 suggests a structured transition approach to maintain operational stability.

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avanos Medical, Inc. (NYSE: AVNS) today reported third quarter 2024 financial results and announced the retirement of its CEO, Joe Woody.

Gary Blackford, Avanos Board Chairman, noted, "Joe has decided to retire after leading Avanos for the past seven years. Joe has agreed to assist the Company in the transition of leadership, and will continue to consult with the Company through April of next year. Avanos is better positioned financially and organizationally today to achieve its longer-term value creation goals because of Joe's leadership these past seven years and we thank him." Blackford continued, "We are also pleased to announce that Michael Greiner has agreed to serve as interim CEO for Avanos. As Avanos' CFO and Chief Transformation Officer, Michael has demonstrated his ability to deliver consistent results against our three-year transformation plan and he is well positioned to step in as interim CEO."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Total net sales from continuing operations were $170.4 million, a 0.5% decrease from the comparable prior year period.
• Net income from continuing operations was $5.9 million, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $8.8 million a year ago.
• Adjusted net income from continuing operations totaled $16.7 million, compared to $14.0 million a year ago.
• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.12, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.19 a year ago.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.36, compared to $0.30 a year ago.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $30.6 million, compared to $27.8 million a year ago.

"Although we are pleased with our transformation progress, we fell short in the third quarter of our stated objective of mid-single-digit organic growth, which also negatively impacted gross profit margin for the quarter," said Michael Greiner, Avanos' interim chief executive officer. "We had a few strong pockets of sales performance for the quarter, including continued execution in our digestive health business and double digit growth for Game Ready and IVP. However, underperformance in our surgical pain category, particularly ON-Q, negatively impacted our overall sales performance."

Third Quarter 2024 Operating Results From Continuing Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net sales totaled $170.4 million, a decrease of 0.5% compared to the prior year period, due to lower demand for our surgical pain and hyaluronic acid ("HA") products and lower pricing on our HA products. This was partially offset by continued strong demand and volume in our Digestive Health portfolio, primarily from our NeoMed neonatal and pediatric feeding solutions, as well as continued demand for our Game Ready product and increased demand for our Trident product.

Gross margin during the third quarter of 2024 was 54.5%, compared to 55.8% in the prior year period. Adjusted gross margin was 58.0% compared to 58.2% last year. Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to costs related to our restructuring initiatives and plant separation costs associated with the divestiture of our respiratory health ("RH") business (the "Divestiture"). In addition, lower pricing for our HA products was partially offset by favorable volume and product mix.

Selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 43.6% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 45.9% for the third quarter of 2023. On an adjusted basis, selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 39.8% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 41.6% for the third quarter of 2023. Selling and general expenses decreased primarily due to savings realized from the execution on our ongoing three-year transformation process (the "Transformation Process") and disciplined spending.

Operating profit in the third quarter of 2024 was $12.0 million, compared to $1.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to lower selling and general expenses related to the execution on Transformation Process and restructuring priorities. On an adjusted basis, operating profit totaled $25.3 million, compared to $23.0 million a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $30.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $27.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

First Nine Months of 2024 Operating Results From Continuing Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net sales were $508.2 million, an increase of 1.6% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to strong demand for our Digestive Health and Game Ready products. This was partially offset by lower demand and pricing for our HA products.

Gross margin was 55.7%, compared to 56.9% last year. Adjusted gross margin was 59.1% compared to 59.2% last year and was impacted by the same items noted above for the third quarter.

Selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales were 47.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 52.1% for the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to disciplined spending, partially offset by non-recurring expenses associated with the Transformation Process and the Divestiture. On an adjusted basis, selling and general expenses as a percentage of net sales was 42.9% for the first nine months of 2024, compared to 44.8% in the prior year period.

Operating profit was $22.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $7.0 million in the prior year period, primarily due to increased demand for our Digestive Health products and lower selling and general costs, partially offset by lower volume and pricing of our HA products. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $63.4 million compared to $52.6 million a year ago.

Net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $10.7 million, compared to net loss from continuing operations of $20.9 million a year ago.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $79.0 million, compared to $66.8 million in the prior year period.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash flow from operations for the third quarter was $23.0 million, compared to $29.1 million a year ago.

Cash from operations less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, for the third quarter was $20.0 million, driven primarily by cash flow provided by operating activities, compared to $25.2 million a year ago. The Company's cash balance at September 30, 2024 was $89.0 million, compared to $87.7 million at year-end 2023.

Total debt outstanding, net of unamortized discounts, was $162.0 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $168.0 million at December 31, 2023.

Discontinued Operations

Net sales from discontinued operations were $10.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $31.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net sales from discontinued operations were $41.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $93.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

2024 Outlook

For the year, the Company anticipates revenue from continuing operations of between $683 million and $688 million, adjusted gross margin from continuing operations of approximately 59.0% and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of between $1.30 and $1.35.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:

• Adjusted net income;
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share;
• Adjusted gross and operating profit;
• Adjusted effective tax rate;
• Adjusted EBITDA; and
• Free cash flow.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items, as applicable, for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

• Certain acquisition and integration charges related to acquisitions.
• Expenses associated with restructuring and transformation activities, including the Divestiture in the fourth quarter of 2023.
• Expenses associated with European Union Medical Device Regulation ("EU MDR") compliance.
• The amortization of intangible assets associated with prior business acquisitions.
• The tax effects of certain adjusting items.
• The benefit associated with the tax effects of the CARES Act.
• The positive or negative effect of changes in currency exchange rates during the year.

The Company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to its GAAP financial measures. Management and the Company's board of directors use net sales on a constant currency basis, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating profit, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to: (a) evaluate the Company's historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the Company's business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of the Company's ongoing business operations.

Additionally, the compensation committee of the Company's board of directors will use certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the Company's net sales on a constant currency basis and adjusted EBITDA, which will be determined by excluding certain items that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.

Our competitors may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measure of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Items excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, the financial statement data presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
