PLAINSBORO, N.J., Jan. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq:IART), a leading global medical technology company, announced today certain unaudited preliminary fourth quarter 2017 financial results.
The company expects reported revenue for the fourth quarter 2017 to be approximately $365 million, an increase of over 40% compared to $255.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2016. The strong results in the fourth quarter were driven by outperformance in both the Derma Sciences and Codman Neurosurgery acquisitions, as well as higher than expected organic growth, including improved performance in dural repair.
“We closed the year with strong performance in revenue and adjusted earnings per share,” said Peter Arduini, Integra’s president and chief executive officer. “This performance resulted from higher organic sales growth in both of our divisions and a faster recovery in our Puerto Rico manufacturing facility. We expect that this top-line performance will result in adjusted earnings per share above the high-end of our guidance range for the fourth quarter.”
The company is scheduled to present at the 36th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at 3:30pm PT (6:30pm ET). A live audio webcast of the presentation will be available on the Investor section of the company’s website at www.integralife.com
The company will report its final, audited fourth quarter and full year 2017 financial results during a conference call in late February 2018. A press release with the date, time and webcast information will be provided closer to the reporting date.

Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures
In addition to our GAAP results, we provide organic revenues and adjusted earnings per diluted share. Organic revenues consist of total revenues excluding the effects of currency exchange rates, acquired revenues and product discontinuances. The adjusted earnings per diluted share measure is calculated by dividing adjusted net income attributable to diluted shares by adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The measure of adjusted net income consists of GAAP net income from continuing operations, excluding: (i) global enterprise resource planning ("ERP") implementation charges; (ii) structural optimization charges; (iii) certain employee severance charges; (iv) acquisition-related charges; (v) convertible debt non-cash interest; (vi) intangible asset amortization expense; and (vii) discontinued product lines charges; (viii) income tax impact from adjustments; and (ix) hurricane related expenses and other items. The measure of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding is calculated by adding the economic benefit of the convertible note hedge transactions relating to Integra's 2016 convertible notes.
The company believes that the presentation of organic revenues and adjusted earnings per diluted share provide important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's financial condition and results of operations. For further information regarding why Integra believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses these measures, and some of the limitations associated with the use of these measures, please refer to the company's Current Report on Form 8-K regarding this news release filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current Report on Form 8-K is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or on our website at www.integralife.com.
