Updates strategic priorities with the discontinuation of the production of respiratory products

Anticipates sequential improvement in revenues and profitability in 4Q22

ELYRIA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) ("Invacare" or the "company") today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Executive Summary

Reflecting on the quarter and the company's progress against its transformation program, Geoffrey Purtill, interim president and chief executive officer, said "We remain committed to taking necessary and decisive action to increase shareholder value. After carefully evaluating our strategic options, we have determined that the lifestyle and mobility & seating categories are core to improving Invacare's growth and profitability. As a result, we are discontinuing the production of respiratory products. This will allow us to further streamline our operations and, we expect, to improve profitability by focusing resources on lifestyle and mobility & seating products, which continue to experience strong demand. We will also continue to take a hard look at every aspect of our business, leaving no stone unturned as we position Invacare for the future.

Turning to our 3Q22 results, while demand for lifestyle and mobility & seating products remained resilient, results were impacted by supply chain challenges and component shortages due to supplier delivery holds which limited our ability to manufacture products and fulfill existing orders within the quarter. Looking ahead to 4Q22, we anticipate that the incremental financing received in October will enable us to further improve output and convert open orders into sales more efficiently. As we progress through 4Q22, we have already seen positive trends and expect to deliver sequential growth in net sales and Adjusted EBITDA next quarter.

In conclusion, we continue to accelerate the execution of our multi-faceted transformation plan which I am cautiously optimistic will generate a return to profitability and enhance long-term shareholder value. We look forward to providing updates on additional strategic actions as they are determined."

Transformation Plan Update

As part of its ongoing transformation and updated strategic priorities, the company has determined that the lifestyle and mobility & seating categories are core to restoring its growth and profitability. The decision to discontinue production of respiratory products is expected to simplify operations and improve profitability by enabling the company to focus resources on its core business. As a result of this decision, the company recorded a restructuring charge of $8.7 million in 3Q22 to value inventory on hand at its net realizable value, impacting gross margins by 510 basis points. This charge was recorded primarily in the North America and Europe reporting segments.

The company expects to discontinue the production of respiratory products in 4Q22 and to fulfill existing customer orders with inventory on hand. The company will continue to operate its respiratory parts and service business and honor its respiratory-related warranty and regulatory obligations.

As a result of transformation actions taken in the first half of 2022, the company realized a benefit of $4.1 million in reduced operating costs in 3Q22. However, this was offset by lower net sales and gross profit, as well as the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

The company has identified additional opportunities to drive growth and profitability in 2023 and beyond. These options include product line rationalization, footprint optimization, supply chain simplification, organization rightsizing, and liquidity enhancements.

Key Metrics (3Q22* versus 3Q21)

• Reported net sales were $170.4 million, a decrease of 24.0% and constant currency net sales^(a) decreased 16.9%.

• Gross margin was 18.4%, a decrease of 850 basis points, including 510 basis points of decline related to the write-down of respiratory inventory as a result of the decision to discontinue production of respiratory products.

• SG&A expense decreased 1.4% to $55.4 million, and constant currency SG&A^(b) increased 4.5%.

• Operating loss was $33.4 million compared to a loss of $24.8 million.

• Adjusted EBITDA^(c) loss was $11.8 million, compared to positive $8.0 million.

• Free cash flow^(d) usage was $20.5 million compared to usage of $6.1 million.

* Date format is quarter and year in each instance

Commenting on the company's financial results, Kathy Leneghan, senior vice president and chief financial officer stated, "As anticipated, the company utilized the proceeds from financing transactions completed in 3Q22 to help unlock the supply chain and accelerate our transformation initiatives. We expect to see a sequential improvement in Adjusted EBITDA as we begin to more efficiently convert open orders into sales. We are optimistic that our transformation plan will drive continued improvement in profitability and free cash flow, and as always, we continue to assess opportunities to further enhance liquidity."

3Q22 Segment Results versus 3Q21

(in millions USD)		Net Sales														Operating Loss
			3Q22				3Q21			Reported % Change			Constant Currency % Change				3Q22				3Q21			% Change
Europe		$	97.5			$	127.0			(23.3	)%		(11.5	)%		$	(2.6	)		$	9.6			(127.1	)%
North America			65.3				88.1			(25.8	)		(25.6	)			(15.0	)			(1.5	)		(885.4	)
All Other			7.6				9.1			(16.6	)		(7.8	)			(6.4	)			(3.9	)		(65.7	)

At a segment level, reported net sales in Europe declined due to unfavorable foreign exchange and lower volumes across all main product categories primarily due to supply chain challenges, including components shortages due to supplier delivery holds. In North America, revenues declined in all product categories but most significantly in respiratory products. Net sales in the Asia Pacific region, reported in All Other, declined as growth in mobility & seating was more than offset by lower sales of respiratory and lifestyle products.

Gross margin was negatively impacted by the write-down of respiratory inventory of $8.7 million, or 510 basis points. Excluding this charge, gross margin declined by 340 basis points due to unfavorable operational variances attributable to lower volumes and intermittent production stoppages, higher input costs, and unfavorable foreign exchange partially offset by the benefit of pricing actions. Gross profit dollars were impacted by the same factors, in addition to lower net sales and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3.7 million.

SG&A expenses on a constant currency basis increased as a result of higher IT costs. 3Q22 included $2.7 million of IT costs classified as operating expense as a result of the pause in ERP roll-out, similar to the first half of 2022, as the company continues to focus on restructuring actions. Previously, these IT costs were classified as capital expenditures and were included in All Other.

In 3Q22, the company incurred $8.4 million of restructuring expense related to severance and other costs as compared to $0.4 million in 3Q21.

As a result of the financing transactions completed in 3Q22, the company recognized a net gain on debt extinguishment of $6.4 million related to the partial retirement of 2024 and 2026 convertible notes, and net gain on convertible debt derivatives of $1.0 million related to the issuance of secured 2026 convertible notes.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Update

The company has begun to realize the benefit of improved access to key materials and components as a result of the increased financial flexibility from the financing transactions completed in 3Q22. On a consolidated basis, the company expects to see sequential constant currency net sales growth in 4Q22. Adjusted EBITDA is also anticipated to improve sequentially driven by revenue growth, higher gross profit attributable to the increased effectiveness of pricing actions, improved operational efficiencies, and restructuring benefits partially offset by continued higher input costs, and unfavorable foreign exchange. Through the first two months of 4Q22, Europe is on pace to deliver sequential constant currency net sales improvement and positive Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter. The company anticipates it will incur additional restructuring charges for North America in 4Q22 as it focuses on improving the profitability of this segment for the long-term.

The company continues to experience strong demand and orders for its lifestyle and mobility & seating products. Open orders related to lifestyle and mobility & seating products were $80.5 million at the end of 3Q22 as compared to $60.5 million at the end of 2021. Open orders remain elevated due to global component shortages, primarily electronic components and other key input materials, supply chain challenges, and supplier delivery holds.

The company continues to focus on executing its transformation plan to drive revenue growth and deliver significant improvement in financial performance to enhance long-term shareholder value.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

^(a) "Constant currency net sales" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net sales excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current year's functional constant currency net sales are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's sales to calculate the constant currency net sales change. The "Business Segments Net Sales" table accompanying this press release compares net sales as reported and net sales excluding the effects of foreign exchange translation by segment and for the consolidated company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the core operating performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measures in the "Business Segment Net Sales" table included in this press release.

^(b) "Constant Currency SG&A" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. The current period's functional constant currency SG&A expenses are translated using the prior year's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior year's SG&A expenses to calculate the constant currency SG&A expenses change.

^(c) "Adjusted EBITDA" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and calculated as net loss plus: income taxes, interest expense-net, net gain or loss on convertible debt derivatives, net gain or loss on debt extinguishment including debt finance charges and fees, asset write-downs related to intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, net gain or loss on sale of business, and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude charges related to exit of product lines, charges related to restructuring activities, and stock compensation expense. It should be noted that the company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies and financial analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information which is used by financial analysts and others in the company's industry to evaluate the performance of the company. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” table included in this press release.

^(d) "Free cash flow" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment.

This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation from Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow” table included in this press release.
