First-Quarter 2022 Results

The following table summarizes worldwide sales for the first quarter of 2022 by segment (in millions):

		Three Months Ended March 31,				% Change		Constant-Currency % Change
		2022		2021
Cardiopulmonary		$117.1		$108.7		7.7%		12.4%

•		Note: Numbers may not add precisely due to rounding. Constant-currency percent change and Total Net Sales, Excluding Heart Valves are non-GAAP metrics. For an explanation of these and other non-GAAP metrics used in this release, see the section entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures." For reconciliations of certain non-GAAP metrics, see the tables that accompany this press release.
(1)		Three-month period ended March 31, 2021 includes the results of the Heart Valves business, which was divested effective June 1, 2021.

All sales growth rates below reflect comparable, constant-currency growth. Constant-currency growth accounts for the impact from fluctuations in the various currencies in which the Company operates as compared to reported growth.

Cardiopulmonary sales increased 12.4 percent versus the first quarter of 2021 with growth across all regions. This growth was primarily driven by oxygenator sales due to an increase in cardiac surgery procedure volumes and heart-lung machine sales in the Rest of World region.

Neuromodulation sales increased 7.5 percent versus the first quarter of 2021 with growth across all regions driven by replacement implants.

ACS sales decreased 9.7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to a reduction in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) related to hospital staffing shortages and less severe COVID-19 cases.

Financial Performance²

On a U.S. GAAP basis, first-quarter 2022 operating income was $9.5 million, as compared to an operating loss of $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2022 was $28.4 million, as compared to $30.3 million for the first quarter of 2021.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, first-quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share was $0.06, as compared to a diluted loss per share of $0.63 in the first quarter of 2021. First-quarter 2022 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.48, as compared to $0.34 per share in the first quarter of 2021.

Subsequent Event

On May 2, 2022, LivaNova acquired the remaining 97% equity interests in ALung Technologies, Inc. (ALung). The purchase price included $10 million paid at closing, subject to customary adjustments, and contingent considerations payable upon the achievement of sales-based milestones. ALung is a privately held medical device company focused on developing and manufacturing advanced medical devices for treating respiratory failure. ALung products are complementary to LivaNova's ACS portfolio and, as such, the business and financial results will be included in the Company's ACS segment. The acquisition is expected to have a neutral impact on adjusted diluted earnings per share in 2022.

Full-Year 2022 Outlook

LivaNova continues to expect worldwide net sales for full-year 2022 to grow between 3 and 5 percent on a constant-currency basis after excluding the impact of the Heart Valves divestiture. LivaNova assumes foreign currency is now a 2 to 3 percent headwind.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for 2022 are still expected to be in the range of $2.50 to $2.80, assuming a share count of 54 million for full-year 2022. In 2022, the Company still estimates that adjusted free cash flow will be in the range of $90 to $110 million.

2 During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company identified and rectified an error related to foreign currency exchange rates utilized to calculate inventory and cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2017 through 2020 and the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Accordingly, prior period results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis were revised.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not in accordance with GAAP. Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, the operating performance measure as prescribed by GAAP.

Unless otherwise noted, all sales growth rates in this release reflect comparable, constant-currency growth. Management believes that referring to comparable, constant-currency growth is the most useful way to evaluate the sales performance of LivaNova and to compare the sales performance of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis. Constant-currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in sales between current and prior-year periods using average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period.

LivaNova calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For example, forward-looking net sales growth projections are estimated on a constant-currency basis and exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance exclude other items such as, but not limited to, changes in fair value of derivatives and contingent consideration arrangements and asset impairment charges that would be included in comparable GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for constant-currency net sales, non-GAAP adjusted tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share are net sales, the effective tax rate and earnings per share, respectively. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. However, non-GAAP financial adjustments on a forward-looking basis are subject to uncertainty and variability as they are dependent on many factors, including but not limited to, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, gains or losses on the potential sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, merger and integration activities, changes in fair value of derivatives and contingent consideration arrangements, asset impairment charges and the tax impact of the aforementioned items, tax law changes or other tax matters. Accordingly, forward-looking GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

The Company also believes adjusted financial measures such as adjusted gross profit percentage, adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted other operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, are measures by which LivaNova generally uses to facilitate management review of the operational performance of the company, to serve as a basis for strategic planning and to assist in the design of compensation incentive plans. Additionally, the Company also uses the non-GAAP liquidity measure adjusted free cash flow. Furthermore, adjusted financial measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s core performance for different periods on a more comparable and consistent basis, and with other entities in the medical technology industry by adjusting for items that are not related to the ongoing operations of the Company or incurred in the ordinary course of business.
