• From the end of the fourth quarter 2022, total debt increased $77 million to $1,002 million and net total debt increased $71 million to $978 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 3.6 times adjusted EBITDA as of March 31, 2023

“Integer started the year strong with first quarter 2023 year-over-year sales growing 22%, indicative of strong demand across all product lines and the recovery of second-half 2022 supplier delays. Integer also delivered 28% year-over-year adjusted operating income growth, which is on pace to deliver our guidance of approximately 70 basis points improvement in adjusted operating income as a percent of sales,” said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer’s president and CEO.

“We continue to expect above-market organic sales growth of 7% to 9% in 2023. We expect 2023 margins to expand throughout the year, driven by continued direct labor stabilization, further reduction in the inefficiencies caused by the challenging supply chain environment and increasing product development sales.”

Discussion of Product Line First Quarter 2023 Sales

• Cardio & Vascular sales increased 20% in the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022 driven by strong demand across all markets and key products, such as guidewires, new product ramps in electrophysiology, as well as strong performance from the Oscor and Aran acquisitions.
• Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation sales increased 18% in the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022, driven by strong demand, including double-digit growth from emerging customers with PMA (premarket approval) products.
• Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical sales increased 42% in the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022, primarily due to increased price and demand as a result of the execution of the multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022, partially offset by a single-digit decline in Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics.
• Electrochem sales increased 63% in the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022 from strong demand across all market segments and continued supplier delivery 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) 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 amount represents a write-off of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and discounts in connection with the amendments to the credit agreement governing our credit facilities and repayment in full of our Term B Loan Facility.

^(f) 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.

^(g) In November 2019, one of our customers, Nuvectra Corporation, filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition (the “Customer Bankruptcy”). The 2022 amount is predominantly due to favorable settlements on supplier purchase order termination clauses and benefits recognized from the utilization or sale of previously reserved inventory.

^(h) 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.

⁽ⁱ⁾ For the 2023 and 2022 periods, tax adjustments predominately related to acquired foreign tax credits, including utilization, changes to uncertain tax benefits and associated interest.

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