PARSIPPANY, N.J., Aug. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embecta Corp. (“embecta”) (Nasdaq: EMBC), one of the largest pure-play diabetes care companies in the world following its April 1, 2022, spin off from Becton, Dickinson and Company (“BD”), today reported financial results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022.

“Our fiscal third quarter 2022 results reinforce our core strength and further position embecta towards creating a company that allows for a life unlimited by diabetes,” said Devdatt “Dev” Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of embecta. “Despite a challenging macro-economic environment, we delivered resilient commercial performance during our first quarter as an independent company. While we continue to navigate through supply chain and inflationary pressures, as well as certain COVID-19 restrictions, given the strength of our third quarter results, coupled with our outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year, we are reiterating our second half of 2022 fiscal year financial guidance for as-reported revenue growth, and raising our second half of 2022 fiscal year financial guidance for constant currency revenue growth, adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin.”

embecta was spun-off from BD on April 1, 2022. Financial results during the pre-spin period were presented on the carve-out basis of accounting and do not purport to reflect what embecta’s financial results would have been had embecta operated as a standalone public company. Therefore, financial results for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 are not meaningfully comparable.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2022 Results:

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,
Dollars in millions									Increase/(decrease)
													As Reported			Constant Currency
		2022				2021			$				%			%
United States	$	158.0			$	151.8			$	6.2			4.1	%		4.1	%
International		133.1				143.2				(10.1	)		(7.1	)		(0.3	)
Total	$	291.1			$	295.0			$	(3.9	)		(1.3	)%		2.0	%

Our revenues decreased by $3.9 million, or 1.3%, to $291.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to revenues of $295.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Changes in our revenues are driven by the volume of goods that we sell, the prices we negotiate with customers and changes in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to $9.7 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, partially offset by favorable volume and price, to some extent, for customers in the U.S. and Central and Southeast Asia.

Nine Months Fiscal Year 2022 Results:

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

	Nine months ended June 30,
Dollars in millions									Increase/(decrease)
													As Reported			Constant Currency
		2022				2021			$				%			%
United States	$	450.4			$	450.1			$	0.3			0.1	%		0.1	%
International		404.5				414.4				(9.9	)		(2.4	)		1.6
Total	$	854.9			$	864.5			$	(9.6	)		(1.1	)%		0.8	%

Our revenues decreased by $9.6 million, or 1.1%, to $854.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to revenues of $864.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency impact of $16.6 million due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, partially offset by favorable volume and price, to some extent, in the U.S., Canada and Mainland China, and countries within Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Central and Southeast Asia.

Second-Half Fiscal Year 2022 Updated Financial Guidance:

For the last six months of fiscal year 2022, the Company now expects:

Dollars in millions, except percentages		Current		Previous
Revenues		~$555		~$555
As Reported (%)		~(7.0%)		~(7.0%)
Constant Currency (%)		~(3.0%)		~(3.5%)
Contract Manufacturing*		~$10		~$15
Adjusted Gross Margin (%)		Mid 60%s		Low 60%s
Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%)		Mid 30%s		Low 30%s
TSA Expense		~$35		~$35

*Current guidance includes contract manufacturing revenues of approximately $10 million during the last six months of fiscal year 2022, as compared to the previous guidance which included approximately $15 million during the last six months of fiscal year 2022. There were no contract manufacturing revenues during the last six months of fiscal 2021.

We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected adjusted gross margin, expected adjusted EBITDA and our expected adjusted EBITDA margin as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of certain one-time items. The financial impact of these one-time items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Non-GAAP financial measures

In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), (ii) adjusted EBITDA, as further defined below, (iii) adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin, and (vi) Constant Currency revenue growth. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, shareholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important metrics for debt investors who utilize debt-to-EBITDA ratios. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

We believe EBITDA is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the effect non-cash charges such as amortization related to acquired intangible assets and depreciation of capital equipment have on net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDA as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and as a complement to operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are either non-cash or irregular in nature, may not be indicative of our past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: (i) share-based compensation, (ii) impairment losses incurred, (iii) separation costs associated with our spin-off from BD, and (iv) other significant items management deems irregular or non-operating in nature. We use adjusted EBITDA when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of such adjustments is necessary to help provide an accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.

For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022, the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Nine Months Ended June 30,
Dollars in millions
		2022				2021				2022				2021

(1) One-time costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily include costs to stand up the Company. Approximately $7.7 million of the one-time costs are recorded in Other operating expenses, $1.7 million are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses, $0.3 million are recorded in Research and development expense, and $0.2 million are recorded in Cost of products sold. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, $2.1 million of the one-time costs are classified in Other operating expenses.

(2) One-time costs incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 primarily include costs to stand up the Company. Approximately $23.5 million of the one-time costs are recorded in Other operating expenses, $1.7 million are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses, $0.3 million are recorded in Research and development expense, and $0.2 million are recorded in Cost of products sold. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, $2.1 million of the one-time costs are classified in Other operating expenses.

(3) Relates to impairment charges incurred during fiscal year 2021.

For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022, the reconciliation of GAAP Gross Profit and Gross Margin to Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin was as follows:

Adjusted Gross Profit Margin		69.8	%			70.0	%			70.0	%			69.9	%

(1) Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated by excluding impairment losses and the portion of stock-based compensation expense allocated to Cost of sales associated with the modification of employee share awards on the Separation date.

Each reporting period, we face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our worldwide operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that fluctuate from the beginning of such period. A stronger U.S. dollar, compared to the prior-year period, resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact to our revenues as compared to the prior-year period. We evaluate our results of operations on both a reported and a Constant Currency basis, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by comparing results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a Constant Currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. We calculate Constant Currency percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a Constant Currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2022, the reconciliation of revenue growth to Constant Currency was as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,
Dollars in millions		2022				2021			Total Change			Estimated FX Impact			Constant Currency Change
