TELEFLEX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

First Quarter Revenues Increase 6.5% to $438.5 million; up 6.0% on Constant Currency Basis

First Quarter GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.77 up 20.3%; Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.22 up 15.1%

Restructuring Plan to Improve Cost Structure of Corporation Announced

2014 Guidance Ranges for Constant Currency Revenue Growth of 7% to 9% and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $5.35 to $5.55 Reaffirmed

Wayne, PA — Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 30, 2014.

First quarter 2014 net revenues were $438.5 million, an increase of 6.5% over the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues increased 6.0% over the prior year period.

First quarter 2014 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.77, as compared to $0.64 in the prior year period, an increase of 20.3%. First quarter 2014 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.22, as compared to $1.06 in the prior year period, an increase of 15.1%.

“Teleflex delivered a solid start to 2014, exceeding our expectations for constant currency revenue growth and adjusted earnings per share,” said Benson Smith, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our first quarter performance was aided by the contribution from the acquisitions of Vidacare in December of 2013 and Mayo Healthcare in February of 2014 , an improvement in the average selling price of products and the introduction of new products to the market as compared to the prior year period.”

Added Mr. Smith, “Teleflex’s performance in the first quarter supports our belief that the Company remains on target to achieve our previously provided constant currency revenue growth and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for 2014. In addition, the Company announced a restructuring plan that is intended to enhance our competitive position in the medical device industry and improve our longer-term profitability. The plan will focus on the consolidation of certain facilities and the relocation of manufacturing operations from certain higher-cost locations to existing lower-cost locations and will allow the Company to invest in higher growth opportunities.”

FIRST QUARTER NET REVENUE BY SEGMENT

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company realigned its operating segments. The realignment in operating segments resulted from changes in the Company’s internal reporting structure. The Vascular, Anesthesia/Respiratory and Surgical businesses, which previously comprised much of the Americas reportable segment, are now separate reportable segments. As a result, the Company now


has six reportable segments: Vascular North America, Anesthesia/Respiratory North America, Surgical North America, EMEA, Asia and OEM. Certain operating segments have been aggregated and are therefore included in the “All other” line item.

Vascular North America first quarter 2014 net revenues were $62.5 million, an increase of 10.3% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues increased 10.8% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to Vidacare product sales, the introduction of new products to the market and price increases. This was somewhat offset by lower sales volume of existing products.

Anesthesia/Respiratory North America first quarter 2014 net revenues were $54.7 million, a decrease of 5.9% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues decreased 5.6% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in constant currency revenue was largely due to lower sales volume of existing products. This was somewhat offset by the introduction of new products to the market and price increases.

Surgical North America first quarter 2014 net revenues were $35.2 million, a decrease of 4.0% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues decreased 3.0% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in constant currency revenue was largely due to lower sales volume of existing products. This was somewhat offset by price increases and the introduction of new products to the market.

EMEA first quarter 2014 net revenues were $150.2 million, an increase of 5.5% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues increased 2.5% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to Vidacare product sales, price increases and the introduction of new products to the market. This was somewhat offset by lower sales volume of existing products.

Asia first quarter 2014 net revenues were $49.6 million, an increase of 17.1% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues increased 20.3% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to Mayo Healthcare and Vidacare product sales, price increases and higher sales volume of existing products.

OEM and Development Services (“OEM”) first quarter 2014 net revenues were $33.2 million, an increase of 5.9% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter 2014 net revenues increased 5.3% compared to the prior year period. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to higher sales volume of existing products and the introduction of new products to the market. This was somewhat offset by lower average selling prices.

2014 RESTRUCTURING PLAN

On April 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan (the “Plan”) designed to reduce costs, improve operating efficiencies and enhance the Company’s long term competitive position. The Plan, which was developed in response to continuing cost pressures in the healthcare industry, involves the consolidation of operations and a related reduction in workforce at certain of the Company’s facilities, and will include the relocation of manufacturing operations from certain higher-cost locations to existing lower-cost locations. These actions will commence in the second quarter 2014 and are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2017.

The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate pre-tax charges in connection with these restructuring activities of approximately $42 million to $53 million, of which the Company expects approximately $22 million to $23 million will be incurred in 2014 and most of the balance will be incurred prior to the end of 2016. Generally, the Company expects that it will exclude these charges from its adjusted diluted earnings per share results. The Company estimates that $32 million to $40 million of the aggregate pre-tax charges will result in future cash outlays, of which the Company expects approximately $9 million to $11 million will be made in 2014 and most of the balance will be made prior to the end of 2016. In addition, the Company expects to make $24 million to $30 million in capital expenditures in connection with the Plan, of which the Company expects approximately $10 million to $15 million will be made in 2014.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s current cost estimates by major type of cost associated with the Plan:

 

Type of cost

   Total estimated amount
expected to be incurred

Termination benefits

   $12 million to $15 million

Facility closure and other exit costs (1)

   $2 million to $5 million

Accelerated depreciation charges

   $10 million to $12 million

Other (2)

   $18 million to $21 million
  

 

   $42 million to $53 million
  

 

 

(1) Includes costs to transfer product lines among facilities and outplacement and employee relocation costs.
(2) Consists of other costs directly related to the Plan, including project management, legal and other regulatory costs.

The Company currently expects to achieve annualized savings of $28 million to $35 million once the Plan is fully implemented, and currently expects to realize Plan-related savings beginning in 2015.


As the Plan is implemented, management will continue to evaluate the estimated costs and anticipated savings set forth above, and may revise its estimates of such costs and anticipated savings and the accounting charges relating thereto, as appropriate, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Constant currency revenue and growth exclude the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period.

Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.


Segment results and commentary exclude the impact of discontinued operations, items included in restructuring and impairment charges, and losses and other charges set forth in the condensed consolidated statements of income and in the Reconciliation of Consolidated Statement of Income Items set forth below.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include:

Adjusted diluted earnings per share. This measure excludes, depending on the period presented (i) the effect of charges associated with our restructuring programs, as well as goodwill and other asset impairment charges; (ii) loss on extinguishment of debt; (iii) the gain or loss on sales of businesses and assets; (iv) losses and other charges related to acquisition and integration costs, the reversal of liabilities related to certain contingent consideration arrangements, the establishment of a litigation reserve and a litigation verdict against the Company with respect to a non-operating joint venture; (v) amortization of the debt discount on the Company’s convertible notes; (vi) intangible amortization expense; and (vii) tax benefits resulting from the resolution of prior years’ tax matters and the filing of prior years’ amended tax returns. In addition, the calculation of diluted shares within adjusted earnings per share gives effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the Company’s convertible note hedge agreements, which reduce the potential economic dilution that otherwise would occur upon conversion of the Company’s senior subordinated convertible notes (under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the convertible note hedge agreements is not reflected in diluted shares).

Constant currency revenue. This measure excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period.

Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that do not reflect Teleflex’s day-to-day operations. In addition, management believes that the calculation of non-GAAP diluted shares is useful to investors because it provides insight into the offsetting economic effect of the convertible note hedge against conversions of the convertible notes. Management uses these financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to assist in our evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Tables reconciling historical non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable historical GAAP measures are set forth below. Tables reconciling forecasted non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forecasted GAAP measures are set forth above.

(A) In 2014, losses and other charges include approximately ($2.3) million, net of tax, or ($0.05) per share, related to the reversal of contingent consideration liabilities; and approximately $1.4 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share, related to acquisition and integration costs. In 2013, losses and other charges include approximately ($1.0) million, net of tax, or ($0.02) per share, related to the reversal of contingent consideration liabilities; approximately $0.8 million, net of tax, or $0.02 per share, related to a litigation verdict against the Company with respect to a non-operating joint venture; and $1.5 million, net of tax, or $0.03 per share, related to acquisition and integration costs.
(B) The tax adjustment represents a net benefit resulting from the resolution of, or the expiration of statute of limitations with respect to various prior years’ U.S. federal, state and foreign tax matters.
(C) Adjusted diluted shares are calculated by giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the Company’s convertible note hedge agreements, which reduce the potential economic dilution that otherwise would occur upon conversion of our senior subordinated convertible notes. Under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the convertible note hedge agreements is not reflected in diluted shares.
