Avanos Medical, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2018 Results, Provides 2019 Outlook

ALPHARETTA, Ga., Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Avanos Medical, Inc. (NYSE: AVNS) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2018 results.

"2018 was a year of continued momentum and achievement, highlighted by strong growth in our Interventional Pain and Chronic Care businesses, the close of the S&IP divestiture and the Game Ready acquisition, and the acceleration of investments for future growth. Additionally, we initiated aggressive action to ensure our cost structure effectively supports our continued growth as a more agile, pure-play medical device company," said Joe Woody, Avanos chief executive officer.

"While we're very pleased with the solid performance of our Interventional Pain and Chronic Care businesses, our Acute Pain business, as expected, continued to be impacted by the industry-wide drug shortage, pre-fill disruption, and the consolidation of IV Infusion customers. As drug supply has started to return and works through the supply chain, we expect improved performance beginning in the second half of 2019 and enter the year with confidence in our ability to accelerate growth. To further enhance our near and long-term growth opportunities, in 2019 we will make significant investments in our growth initiatives and will continue exploring opportunities to strategically deploy capital towards value-creating M&A."

2018 Financial Highlights

  • Fourth quarter net sales were $170 million, a 2 percent increase from the prior year. For the year, net sales increased 7 percent to $652 million.
  • Net loss for the fourth quarter was $2 million, compared to net income of $33 million in the prior year. Adjusted net income for the quarter totaled $14 million, compared to $35 million a year ago. For the year, net income totaled $58 million, compared to $79 million in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, net income for 2018 was $91 million, compared to $110 million in the prior year.
  • Fourth quarter diluted earnings per share were $(0.05), compared to $0.69 a year ago. 2018 diluted earnings per share totaled $1.22, compared to $1.69 in the prior year.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.30, compared to $0.73 in the prior year. For the year, adjusted diluted earnings per share totaled $1.93, compared to $2.35 in 2017.

Operational and Business Highlights

  • The company was selected as one of eight firms by the FDA to accelerate the development and expedite the marketing application review of innovative products to combat the opioid epidemic.
  • The company is expanding its successful direct-to-patient advertising campaign for Coolief, from six U.S. markets to 13. These television commercials highlight the effectiveness of the company's unique pain management therapy and will run through the first half of 2019.
  • The company strengthened its leadership with the recent appointment of Dave Ball, as senior vice president of Global Supply Chain & Procurement.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Operating Results

Net sales totaled $170 million, a 2 percent increase compared to the prior year, including Game Ready, which contributed 5 percent of the growth. Excluding Game Ready, continued strong demand in Interventional Pain and Chronic Care was offset by the expected lower volume in Acute Pain, resulting in 2 percent lower organic volume. Product mix and lower selling prices of 1 percent also impacted performance.

Operating loss was $8 million compared to a loss of $3 million in 2017. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $20 million, compared to $7 million a year ago, which includes $30 million of costs previously allocated to the Surgical and Infection Prevention business (S&IP). Higher sales volumes and lower costs previously allocated to S&IP, were offset by expected dis-synergies due to the S&IP divestiture and investments to fuel growth.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $22 million, compared to $64 million in the prior year.

Full-Year 2018 Operating Results From Continuing Operations

Net sales increased 7 percent to $652 million, compared to 2017. Organic sales volumes increased 3 percent and Game Ready-related sales bolstered growth by 3 percent. Performance was driven by increased demand in Interventional Pain, Digestive Health and Respiratory Health, each exceeding the company's expectations. As expected, Acute Pain's performance for the year was affected by the industry-wide drug shortage, pre-fill disruption and the consolidation of IV Infusion customers.

Operating income was $1 million, compared to a loss of $43 million in the prior year. On an adjusted basis, operating profit totaled $62 million compared to $5 million in 2017, which includes costs previously allocated to S&IP of $37 million and $116 million, respectively. Performance was impacted by higher sales volume and lower costs previously allocated to S&IP, which was partially offset by expected dis-synergies related to the S&IP divestiture and increased investments to fund growth.

Year-to-date, adjusted EBITDA totaled $144 million, compared to $226 million in the prior year.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash from operations less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, for the quarter was an outflow of $25 million compared to an inflow of $52 million a year ago. For the year, free cash flow was an outflow of $195 million, compared to an inflow of $101 million in the prior year. The decrease in 2018 was due primarily to lower net income and the settlement of S&IP divestiture-related net liabilities. At year-end 2018, the company's cash balance was $385 million, compared to $220 million at year-end 2017.

Total debt at the end of the fourth quarter totaled $248 million, consisting of unsecured notes, compared to $581 million at year-end 2017.

Discontinued Operations

2018 net sales from discontinued operations were $351 million, compared to $1,013 million a year ago. Adjusted net income for 2018 was $53 million, compared to $122 million in the prior year.

2019 Key Planning Assumptions

Based on current trends, the company expects 2019 net sales including Game Ready, to increase 6 to 8 percent, on a constant currency basis, compared to 2018 and earn $1.15 to $1.35 of adjusted diluted earnings per share. This outlook reflects certain key assumptions, which are listed below:

  • We expect the foreign currency translation impact to be even compared to the prior year.
  • The adjusted effective tax rate is anticipated to be between 23 and 25 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Adjusted net income
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share
  • Adjusted gross and operating profit
  • Adjusted effective tax rate
  • Adjusted EBITDA
  • Free cash flow

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items, as applicable, for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

  • Expenses associated with restructuring activities, including IT-related charges.
  • Expenses associated with the divestiture of the S&IP business.
  • The gain on sale and associated expenses related to the divestiture of the S&IP business.
  • Prior year transition costs relating to the separation from Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which included costs to establish Avanos Medical's capabilities as a stand-alone entity. These costs are related primarily to rebranding and other supply chain transition costs.
  • Expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets associated with prior business acquisitions.
  • The positive or negative effect of changes in currency exchange rates during the year.
  • Expenses associated with certain litigation matters.
  • Prior year charges associated with internal policy changes.
  • Certain acquisition and integration charges related to the acquisition of CORPAK MedSystems, Inc.
  • Certain acquisition and integration charges related to Game Ready in the current year.
  • Benefit associated with regulatory tax reform.

The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures. Management and the company's Board of Directors use net sales on a constant currency basis, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating profit, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to (a) evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the company's business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of our ongoing business operations.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee of the company's Board of Directors will use certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the company's net sales on a constant currency basis and adjusted EBITDA, which will be determined by excluding certain items that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
