STERIS Announces Financial Results for Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter

• Third quarter revenue increases 15% as reported; 10% constant currency organic

• As reported diluted earnings per share increased to $1.42; adjusted earnings per share increased to $2.22

• Fiscal 2024 outlook updated

DUBLIN, IRELAND - (February 7, 2024) - STERIS plc (NYSE: STE) (“STERIS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2024 third quarter ended December 31, 2023. Revenue as reported for the quarter increased 15% to $1.40 billion compared with $1.22 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Constant currency organic revenue (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) increased 10% for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023.

“The continued momentum in our Healthcare segment reflects solid procedure volume growth in the United States and the easing of supply chain constraints which allowed us to continue to reduce backlog levels. In addition, revenue within our Life Sciences segment improved during the quarter,” said Dan Carestio, President and Chief Executive Officer of STERIS. “Our revenue outlook for fiscal 2024 has increased as we continue to experience outperformance within the Healthcare segment, offsetting macro challenges impacting demand in our other segments.”

Third Quarter Operating and Segment Results

As reported, net income for the third quarter was $140.7 million or $1.42 per diluted share, compared with net income of $123.8 million or $1.24 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted net income (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $220.9 million or $2.22 per diluted share, compared with the previous year’s third quarter of $202.3 million or $2.02 per diluted share.

Healthcare revenue as reported grew 19% in the quarter to $916.2 million compared with $769.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This performance reflected 27% growth in consumable revenue, 17% improvement in capital equipment revenue and 13% growth in service revenue. Constant currency organic revenue increased 12% for the quarter compared with the prior year quarter. Healthcare operating income was $223.9 million compared with $175.4 million in last year’s third quarter. This improvement was primarily attributable to the increase in volume along with favorable pricing and the addition of the surgical instrumentation assets purchased from BD.

Fiscal 2024 third quarter revenue for Applied Sterilization Technologies (AST) increased 6% as reported to $234.9 million compared with $222.0 million in the same period last year. This performance reflected 5% growth in service revenue and 42% growth in capital equipment revenue. Underlying service revenue growth continues to be impacted by Medtech Customer inventory management and the continued reduction in demand from bioprocessing Customers.Constant currency organic revenue in the quarter increased 4%. Segment operating income was $105.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024, compared with operating income of $103.5 million in the same period last year.

Life Sciences third quarter revenue as reported increased 21% to $146.6 million compared with $121.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. This performance reflected 57% growth in capital equipment revenue, 12% growth in service revenue and 8% improvement in consumable revenue.Constant currency organic revenue increased 20% in the quarter compared with the prior year quarter. Reflecting the improvement in volume and price, operating income increased to $56.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $45.2 million in the prior year’s third quarter.

Dental third quarter revenue asreported declined 5% to $97.9 million compared with $103.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Constant currency organic revenue declined 6% in the quarter compared with the prior year

quarter. Reflecting lower volume, operating income was $18.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $20.3 million in the prior year’s third quarter.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $718.5 million, compared with $541.1 million in the same period during fiscal 2023. Free cash flow (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $457.0 million compared with $262.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in free cash flow during the period was driven by higher earnings and declines in cash used for tax and compensation related payments as well as lower capital expenditures.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

For fiscal 2024, the Company now expects as reported revenue to increase 10-11%, an increase from previous expectations of 9-10%.Expectations for constant currency organic revenue growth are also increased to 7-8% from prior expectations of 6-7%.The primary driver of the increase in revenue growth is the outperformance of the Healthcare segment. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are anticipated to be in the range of $8.60 to $8.70, compared with prior expectations of $8.60 to $8.80, due primarily to a shift in operating income mix from AST to Healthcare.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, adjusted income from operations, free cash flow and constant currency organic revenue are non-GAAP measures that may be used from time to time and should not be considered replacements for U.S. GAAP results.Non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented.The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.

Adjusted net income and adjusted income from operations exclude the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, acquisition and divestiture related transaction costs, integration costs related to acquisitions, tax restructuring costs, and certain other unusual or non-recurring items. STERIS believes this measure is useful because it excludes items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.

The Company defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangibles, plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles.STERIS believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of the Company’s ability to fund future principal debt repayments and growth outside of core operations, pay cash dividends, and repurchase ordinary shares.

To measure the percentage organic revenue growth, the Company removes the impact of significant acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue. To measure the percentage constant currency organic revenue growth, the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue are removed.The impact of changes in currency exchange rates is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average currency exchange rates.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales, gross profit, operating income, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures below, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This release and the referenced conference call may contain statements concerning certain trends, expectations, forecasts, estimates, or other forward-looking information affecting or relating to STERIS or its industry, products or activities that are intended to qualify for the protections afforded “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other laws and regulations.

The following table presents a financial measure which is considered to be "non-GAAP financial measures" under Securities Exchange Commission rules. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangibles (capital expenditures) plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment and intangibles. The Company uses free cash flow as a measure to gauge its ability to pay cash dividends, fund growth outside of core operations, fund future debt principal repayments, and repurchase shares. STERIS's calculation of free cash flows may vary from other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in thousands, except per share data)

Non-GAAP financial measures are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented.

Management and the Board of Directors believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provides the reader with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. It is important for the reader to note that the non-GAAP financial measure used may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, a similarly titled measure used by other companies.

To measure the percentage organic revenue growth, the Company removes the impact of acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue. To measure the percentage constant currency organic revenue growth, the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue are removed. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average currency exchange rates.
