Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q3 results demonstrate robust financial performance with $318.1 million in revenue, marking a solid 11.2% growth. Key highlights include strong performance in Cardiopulmonary segment (15.4% growth) driven by Essenz™ Perfusion System and consumables, while Neuromodulation showed moderate growth at 8.8%.

The company's profitability metrics show significant improvement, with adjusted operating income increasing to $63.6 million from $45.0 million year-over-year. The raised guidance for 2024, projecting 10-11% revenue growth (excluding ACS) and adjusted EPS of $3.30-$3.40, indicates management's confidence in continued momentum.

The improved free cash flow guidance of $110-130 million suggests strengthening operational efficiency and cash generation capabilities.

Medical Device Industry Analyst

The strong adoption of the Essenz™ Perfusion System represents a significant competitive advantage in the cardiopulmonary segment. The 15.4% growth in this division indicates successful market penetration and validates the company's innovation strategy. However, the mixed performance in Neuromodulation, particularly the decline in Europe, warrants attention and may require strategic interventions.

The wind-down of the ACS segment appears well-managed, with minimal impact on overall growth metrics. The company's focus on core segments and innovation positions it favorably in the medical device market, though geographic expansion opportunities remain in the Neuromodulation segment.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LivaNova PLC (Nasdaq: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology company, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and raised full-year 2024 guidance.

• Third-quarter U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.60 and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.90.

Neuromodulation revenue increased 8.5% on a reported basis and 8.8% on a constant-currency basis versus the third quarter of 2023 with growth in the U.S. and Rest of World regions, partially offset by a decline in Europe.

Earnings Analysis

On a U.S. GAAP basis, third-quarter 2024 operating income was $35.6 million, as compared to operating income of $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating income for the third quarter of 2024 was $63.6 million, as compared to adjusted operating income of $45.0 million for the third quarter of 2023.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, third-quarter 2024 diluted earnings per share was $0.60, as compared to diluted loss per share of $0.14 in the third quarter of 2023. Third-quarter 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.90, as compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.73 in the third quarter of 2023.

Full-Year 2024 Guidance

LivaNova now expects revenue for full-year 2024 to grow between 8.5% and 9.5% on a constant-currency basis. When excluding the impact of the ACS segment wind down, the Company now expects revenue for full-year 2024 to grow between 10% and 11% on a constant-currency basis. Foreign currency is now expected to be negligible based on current exchange rates.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for 2024 is now expected to be in the range of $3.30 to $3.40, assuming a share count of approximately 55 million for full-year 2024. For 2024, the Company now estimates that adjusted free cash flow will be in the range of $110 to $130 million.

As discussed in the section entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below, the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures included in this section to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement financial measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP or GAAP), management has disclosed certain additional measures not presented in accordance with GAAP known as “non-GAAP financial measures” or “adjusted financial measures.” Company management uses these non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company’s operational performance 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, operational performance measures as prescribed by GAAP.

In this news release, the Company refers to comparable, constant-currency percent change in revenue. Company management believes that referring to comparable, constant-currency percent change is the most useful way to evaluate the revenue performance of LivaNova and to compare the revenue performance of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis. Constant-currency percent change, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in revenue 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 revenue growth projections are estimated on a constant-currency basis and exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance exclude 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 adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment excluding the impact of 3T litigation settlement payments, CARES Act tax stimulus benefits, SNIA financing costs, and gains related to dividends received from investments and further adjusted as needed for other charges, expenses or gains that may not be indicative of the Company's operational performance. 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, the Company does not reconcile non-GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as it is impractical to do so without unreasonable effort.

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