ELYRIA, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Invacare Corporation (NYSE: IVC) ("Invacare" or the "company") today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Key Metrics (3Q20 versus 3Q19, except as noted*)

• Reported net sales were down 10.1% to $211.9 million, while constant currency net sales^(a), which excludes the 1Q20 Dynamic Controls divestiture, decreased 10.0%.
  • Revenue growth in respiratory products was more than offset by lower sales in mobility and seating and lifestyle products.
  • Sales of mobility and seating and lifestyle products continue to be impacted by the pandemic, with public health measures in certain geographies limiting access to healthcare professionals and institutions needed for certain product selections, and limited access to long-term care facilities.
• Reported net sales increased sequentially from 2Q20 by 8.0%, driven primarily by Europe mobility and seating products, which grew 38.4%. Constant currency sequential net sales^(b) increased 4.3%, with growth in mobility and seating products of 17.6% offset by lower sales of lifestyle products, primarily bed and bed-related products.
• Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased 40 basis points compared to the prior year to 28.3%, attributable to unfavorable manufacturing variances associated with reduced net sales compared to 3Q19, primarily in Europe.
• Reported SG&A expenses improved by $8.0 million, or 12.6%, and constant currency SG&A^(c) improved by $7.8 million, or 12.5%, driven primarily by reduced employment costs, lower commercial expenses and favorable foreign exchange.
• Operating income improved by $0.5 million, or 21.2%, to $2.9 million, driven by reduced SG&A expenses partially offset by lower gross profit as result of reduced net sales.
• GAAP loss per share was $0.21 compared to a loss per share of $0.24. Adjusted net loss per share^(e) was $0.10 compared to adjusted net loss per share of $0.15.
• Adjusted EBITDA^(f) improved by $0.2 million, or 2.5%, to $9.8 million driven by reduced SG&A expenses, which represents the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement.
• Free cash flow^(g) usage was $1.8 million, a decrease of $14.1 million compared to free cash flow generation in 3Q19, primarily due to net cash used by operating activities supporting working capital needs. Sequentially as compared to 2Q20, free cash flow usage improved $0.1 million, due to higher profitability and lower inventory, offset by reduced accounts payable. Sequential increase in revenue resulted in increased account receivable as well.

Executive Summary

"I am pleased with our 3Q20 performance which reflects sequential improvement in net sales and a nearly 49% sequential increase in profitability, despite the continuing pandemic. We successfully achieved our 12th consecutive quarter of higher year-over-year quarterly Adjusted EBITDA growth by taking actions to leverage SG&A expenses, mitigate supply chain constraints, and introduce new products which are expected to drive incremental sales growth. In addition, our transformation initiatives have driven sustainable improved results in line with our expectations, and we remain poised to continue delivering stronger results even as we navigate the challenging environment," commented Matt Monaghan, chairman, president and chief executive officer.

"In Europe, we were encouraged by double-digit improvement in sequential net sales as public health restrictions began to ease, reflecting returning demand during this initial phase of the recovery. Looking ahead, we are seeing positive momentum in sales in our key countries of France and Germany, with the UK remaining relatively closed. As markets continue to re-open, we anticipate this will have a positive impact on net sales, however, pandemic-related closures are unpredictable and may occur intermittently over the winter months, but are not expected to be as severe as those enacted in 2Q20.

At the same time, our North America business remained resilient, demonstrated by both year-over-year and sequential improvement in net sales, and a $4.7 million improvement in operating income compared to the prior year. For respiratory products, demand remained elevated as the pandemic persisted, and we expect this trend to continue but return to a more normalized level of sales. Due to the longer quote-to-order cycle, primarily in the United States, sales of mobility and seating products were impacted as public health restrictions in 2Q20 limited end user assessments and dampened quotes. However, as restrictions eased, we experienced significantly higher quotes in 3Q20, which we expect will be converted into stronger sales in 4Q20.

Meanwhile, we continue to make great progress on our 2020 and long-term transformational initiatives which will simplify the business and improve margins. Our global IT modernization and plant consolidation in Germany remain on track. Assuming that markets begin to normalize in 2021, we expect these efficiencies and the increased acceptance of new products will drive incremental sales growth beyond pre-pandemic levels, accelerating our already improving operating results," concluded Monaghan.

Kathy Leneghan, senior vice president and chief financial officer stated, "As guided, we achieved constant currency sequential net sales improvement while Adjusted EBITDA improved both year-over-year and sequentially. Free cash flow usage in the quarter of $1.8 million was impacted by reduced accounts payable and increased accounts receivable, which should largely be collected in 4Q20. In addition, we took further actions to improve our balance sheet by retiring $24.5 million of convertible notes due in 2021 at a slight aggregate discount to par, leaving less than $1.3 million maturing in February 2021. We remain confident that our increasingly flexible balance sheet will support us through the transformation, and as always, we continue to assess opportunities to further optimize our capital structure."

Updated Full Year 2020 Guidance

Consolidated net sales are expected to improve sequentially, but remain lower than prior year, based on continuing access to healthcare facilities without new public health restrictions, and from increased adoption of new products. While the markets are expected to continue to remain open, pandemic-related closures may vary over the winter months. Given the timing of the recognition of sequential improvements in sales during the fourth quarter, the company anticipates increased free cash flow usage for the full year as a result of timing in collection of cash until 1Q21.

As a result of the sequential improvement in the business performance achieved in the third quarter and visibility into the early months of the fourth quarter, for the full-year 2020, the company now expects:

• Reported net sales of at least $840 million, up from previous range of $810 to $840 million;
• Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $28 to $32 million, up from previous range of $27 to $30 million; and
• Free cash flow usage in the range of $8 to $12 million, changed from previous range of $7 to $10 million.

3Q20 Segment Results versus 3Q19

(in millions USD)	Net Sales															Operating Income (Loss)
	3Q20				3Q19				Reported % Change			Constant Currency % Change				3Q20					3Q19					% Change
Europe	$	116.3			$	137.4			(15.3	)%		(17.5	)%			$	7.6				$	11.4				(33.1	)%
North America	88.1				87.1				1.1			1.2				3.0					(1.7		)			--
All Other	7.6				11.3				(33.0	)		(3.1	)			(6.1		)			(5.6		)			(8.1	)

Europe - Constant currency net sales decreased 17.5% as sales continued to be impacted by the pandemic and with public health restrictions in certain countries continuing to limit access to healthcare professionals and institutions needed for certain product selections. These measures lowered sales for mobility and seating products most significantly, and, to a lesser extent, non-bed lifestyle products, and were partially offset by growth in bed systems and respiratory products. Gross profit declined by $8.1 million, or 230 basis points, due to reduced net sales and unfavorable operational variances, as a result of the pandemic. Operating income was $7.6 million, a decrease of $3.8 million due to reduced gross profit as result of lower net sales partially offset by reduced SG&A expenses.

North America - Constant currency net sales increased 1.2% driven by respiratory products, partially offset by lower sales of mobility and seating and non-bed lifestyle products, which continue to be adversely impacted by pandemic-related public health restrictions. In addition, both power and manual wheelchair net sales were lower due to reduced levels of quotes for these products in the early part of 2Q20, which would normally convert to sales in 3Q20. As a result of significantly higher quote levels in 3Q20 compared to 2Q20, sales of mobility and seating products are expected to accelerate in 4Q20. Gross profit improved $2.6 million, or 170 basis points, driven by net sales growth, reduced material and freight costs, partially offset by unfavorable operational variances and warranty expense. Operating income improved by $4.7 million primarily due to the benefit of increased gross profit and reduced SG&A expenses.

All Other - Constant currency net sales in the Asia Pacific region decreased 3.1% due to lower sales of mobility and seating products and service revenue, partially offset by growth in lifestyle products. Operating loss for All Other includes the operating income of the Asia Pacific business, offset by unallocated SG&A expenses and intercompany eliminations. Operating loss for All Other increased $0.5 million primarily as a result of the Dynamic Controls divestiture in 1Q20.

3Q20 Segment Results versus 2Q20

(in millions USD)	Net Sales															Operating Income (Loss)
	3Q20				2Q20				Reported % Change			Sequential Constant Currency % Change				3Q20				2Q20				% Change
Europe	$	116.3			$	101.9			14.1	%		8.0	%			$	7.6			$	2.2			249.6	%
North America	88.1				86.6				1.7			1.3				3.0				4.8				(37.8	)
All Other	7.6				7.8				(3.5	)		(10.3	)			(6.1		)		(7.7		)		21.4

Europe - Constant currency sequential net sales increased 8.0% driven by a 30.4% increase in mobility and seating products partially offset by lower sales of in lifestyle products, primarily bed and bed-related products, with respiratory product sales flat. Operating income improved $5.4 million primarily due to increased gross profit driven by increased net sales, including favorable product mix due to higher sales of mobility and seating products, and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing variances.

North America - Constant currency sequential net sales increased 1.3% primarily driven by growth in non-bed lifestyle products. Operating income decreased $1.8 million primarily due to increased SG&A expenses and lower gross margin driven by a return to more normal acuity product mix.

All Other - Constant currency sequential net sales declined 10.3% primarily due to lifestyle products. Operating loss for All Other includes the operating income of the Asia Pacific business, offset by unallocated SG&A expenses and intercompany eliminations. Operating loss for All Other decreased $1.7 million primarily as a result of reduced SG&A expenses, driven by lower stock compensation, partially offset by lower operating income of the Asia Pacific business due to lower net sales.

Financial Condition

The company's cash and cash equivalents balances were $86.8 million and $80.1 million at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. The change was primarily the result of cash borrowed on the bank credit facility and the proceeds from the divestiture of Dynamic Controls partially offset by cash used to fund operations and debt payments, including the retirement of $24.5 million in convertible notes during 3Q20.

Free cash flow usage of in 3Q20 was $1.8 million, unfavorable by $14.1 million as compared to free cash flow generated in 3Q19. The change was primarily due to net cash used for operating activities supporting working capital needs primarily in accounts receivable and accounts payable. While capital expenditures increased related primarily to the ERP implementation, this was offset in a benefit in accrued expenses. Free cash flow usage in 3Q20 was also impacted by the timing of revenue recognized during the quarter which increased accounts receivable at the end of the quarter. Sequentially, free cash flow usage improved by $0.1 million as a result of higher profitability and lower inventory, offset by increased accounts receivable from sequential sales growth, and reduced accounts payable.

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 and further adjusted to exclude the impact of the sale of Dynamic Controls, which was sold in March 2020 and not deemed a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. 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, 2020 and September 30, 2019, 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 sequential net sales" is a non-GAAP financial measure, in which a given quarter's net sales are compared to the most recent prior quarter's net sales with each quarter's net sales translated at the foreign exchange rates for the most recent prior quarter. 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.

^(c) "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 and further adjusted to exclude the impact of the sale of Dynamic Controls, which was sold in March 2020 and not deemed a discontinued operation for financial reporting purposes. 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.

^(d) "Constant currency sequential 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 quarter's functional constant currency SG&A expenses are translated using the prior quarter's foreign exchange rates. These amounts are then compared to the prior quarter's SG&A expenses to calculate the constant currency sequential SG&A change.

^(e) "Adjusted net loss per share" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as adjusted net loss^(h) divided by weighted average shares outstanding, assuming dilution. It should be noted that the company's definition of adjusted net loss per share may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because not all companies and financial analysts calculate adjusted net loss per share in the same manner. The company believes that its exclusion adjustments are generally recognized by the industry in which it operates as relevant in computing Adjusted net loss per share as a supplementary non-GAAP financial measure used by financial analysts and others in the company's industry to meaningfully evaluate operating performance. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation of Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share to Adjusted Net Loss per Share” table included in this press release.

^(f) "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, loss on debt extinguishment including debt finance charges and fees, net gain on sale of business, and depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to exclude charges related to restructuring activities, and share-based 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 Loss to Adjusted EBITDA” table included in this press release.

^(g) "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. The company believes that this financial measure provides meaningful information for evaluating the overall financial performance of the company and its ability to repay debt or make future investments. This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation from Net Cash Used by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow” table included in this press release.

^(h) "Adjusted net loss" is a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as net loss before income tax provision and excluding the amortization of convertible debt discounts recorded in interest expense ($3.0 million and $8.6 million pre-tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $2.8 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019), loss on debt extinguishment including debt finance charges and fees ($0.8 million and $7.4 million pre-tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019), gain on sale of business ($0.0 million and $9.8 million pre-tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020), net gain on convertible debt derivatives ($0.0 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019), and adjusted income taxes. Adjusted income taxes are computed as taxes as calculated for GAAP then adjusted for an expense or benefit at the statutory rate related to pretax adjustments related to locations without a valuation allowance, the exclusion of uncertain tax liabilities deemed not related to current operations or the exclusion of taxes related to nonrecurring sales of non-inventory product or entities on an intercompany basis as well as the impact from the sale of Dynamic Controls, which was sold in March 2020. (Note: The U.S. is in a full valuation allowance and accordingly, no tax expense adjustments are appropriate related to U.S. pre-tax adjustments.) This financial measure is reconciled to the related GAAP financial measure in the “Reconciliation of Net Earnings (Loss) per Share to Adjusted Net Loss Per Share” table included in this press release.
