Cardiopulmonary revenue increased 17.7 percent on a reported basis and increased 18.4 percent2 on a constant-currency basis versus 2022 with growth across all regions, driven by increased heart-lung machine sales, including EssenzTM Perfusion System installations, and strong oxygenator demand.

Neuromodulation revenue increased 9.0 percent on a reported basis and increased 9.1 percent2 on a constant-currency basis versus 2022 with growth across all regions, including new and replacement implants in the U.S. region.

ACS revenue increased 2.6 percent on a reported basis and increased 2.5 percent2 on a constant-currency basis versus 2022 driven by an increase in case volumes.

Earnings Analysis

On a U.S. GAAP basis, full-year 2023 operating loss was $68.5 million, as compared to operating loss of $76.8 million for full-year 2022. Adjusted operating income for full-year 2023 was $169.3 million, as compared to adjusted operating income of $145.1 million for full-year 2022.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, full-year 2023 diluted earnings per share was $0.32, as compared to diluted loss per share of $1.61 for full-year 2022. Full-year 2023 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.80, as compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.39 for full-year 2022.

Subsequent Events

On January 8, 2024, LivaNova announced its plan to wind down the ACS segment to increase the Company's strategic focus on its core Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation segments. The wind down is anticipated to be substantially complete by the end of 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company intends to transition all ACS standalone cannulae products and related accessories into the Cardiopulmonary segment. The Company expects the wind down to result in a positive contribution to adjusted operating income in 2024 as compared to 2023.

On February 5, 2024, LivaNova announced its Board of Directors named Vladimir A. Makatsaria as the Company's CEO and a member of the Board of Directors, effective March 1, 2024. Makatsaria most recently served as Company Group Chairman at Johnson & Johnson MedTech, leading its global Ethicon surgery business. Makatsaria will succeed Kozy, who has served as Interim CEO since April 2023. Kozy will continue in his role as LivaNova Board Chair.

Full-Year 2024 Guidance

LivaNova expects revenue for full-year 2024 to grow between 4 and 5 percent on a constant-currency basis. When excluding the impact of the ACS segment wind down, the Company expects revenue for full-year 2024 to grow between 6 and 7 percent on a constant-currency basis. Foreign currency is expected to be negligible based on current exchange rates.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for 2024 are expected to be in the range of $2.95 to $3.05, assuming a share count of approximately 55 million for full-year 2024. In 2024, the Company estimates that adjusted free cash flow will be in the range of $95 to $115 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this news 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, operating performance measures as prescribed by GAAP.

In this news release, the Company refers to comparable, constant-currency percent change in revenue. 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 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 revenue, non-GAAP adjusted tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share are net revenue, 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. 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 and gains related to dividends received from investments and further adjusted as needed for other one-time, nonrecurring, unusual or infrequent charges, expenses or gains, including associated expenses, that may not be indicative of the Company's core business. 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 non-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.
