November 3, 2021

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 3, 2021-- LivaNova PLC (NASDAQ: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

For the third quarter of 2021, worldwide sales from continuing operations were $253.2 million, an increase of 5.5 percent on a reported basis and 5.0 percent on a constant-currency¹ basis, as compared to the same quarter of the previous year. Excluding sales from the Heart Valves business, which was divested effective June 1, 2021, worldwide sales from continuing operations increased by 15.7 percent on a reported basis and 15.2 percent on a constant-currency¹ basis for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. On the basis of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), third quarter 2021 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.82. Third quarter 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.68.

“Our third-quarter performance demonstrates continued focus on execution across all regions in our key product lines amidst lingering COVID-19-related headwinds,” said Damien McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of LivaNova. “We are encouraged by our sales growth year over year and compared to 2019, excluding the impact of Heart Valves. In addition, we saw improvements in margins and cash flow generation. We also strengthened our financial flexibility with the completion of an equity offering during the quarter, which allowed us to retire the $450 million term loan and enter into a new $125 million revolver.”

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.

Cardiovascular

Cardiovascular sales for the third quarter of 2021 were $138.6 million, representing a 15.4 percent increase versus the third quarter of 2020 after excluding the impact of the Heart Values divestiture. Heart Valves sales in the third quarter of 2020 were $21.1 million.

Sales in Cardiopulmonary products were $123.2 million, representing a 14.5 percent increase versus the third quarter of 2020 primarily related to growth in oxygenator and heart-lung machine sales across all regions.

ACS sales were $15.4 million in the quarter, an increase of 22.7 percent compared to the third quarter of 2020, due to the continued adoption of LifeSPARC^®in the U.S. and an increase in procedure volumes.

Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation sales were $113.3 million in the third quarter, representing a 14.6 percent increase versus the third quarter of 2020, reflecting improved market dynamics across all regions.

Financial Performance

On a U.S. GAAP basis, third quarter 2021 operating income from continuing operations was $17.9 million. Adjusted operating income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2021 was $47.9 million, an increase of 49.1 percent as compared to the third quarter of 2020. This increase was primarily driven by favorable sales results and gross margin improvements.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, the third quarter 2021 effective tax rate was a negative 5.2 percent, as compared to 21.3 percent in the third quarter of 2020. The adjusted effective tax rate in the quarter was 10.5 percent, as compared to 4.5 percent in the third quarter of 2020, related to changes in the geographic income mix.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, third quarter 2021 diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.82. Third quarter 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.68, as compared to $0.38 per share in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2021 were 52.4 million.

2021 Updated Guidance

LivaNova is raising its full-year guidance based upon performance in the first nine months of 2021. Worldwide net sales from continuing operations for full-year 2021 are now expected to grow between 8 and 11 percent on a constant-currency basis, and between 15 and 18 percent after excluding the impact of the Heart Valves divestiture. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for 2021 are now expected to be in the range of $2.00 to $2.10 assuming a share count of 51.5 million for the full-year 2021.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not necessarily 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 contingent consideration arrangements, asset impairment charges and product remediation costs 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. 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, gains or losses on the potential sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, merger and integration activities, changes in fair value of contingent consideration arrangements, product remediation costs, asset impairment charges, and the tax impact of the aforementioned items, tax law changes or other tax matters. Accordingly, 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 from continuing operations, adjusted segment operating income, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income from continuing operations, and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, 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. 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.
