Broad strength across businesses and geographies results in mid-single digit revenue growth, driven by execution, innovation, and improved underlying fundamentals

DUBLIN, Aug. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2024 (FY24), which ended July 28, 2023.

Key Highlights

Financial ResultsMedtronic reported Q1 worldwide revenue of $7.702 billion, an increase of 4.5% as reported and 6.0% on an organic basis. The company's organic revenue results reflect broad strength across businesses and geographies, driven by execution, innovation, and improved underlying fundamentals. The organic revenue growth comparison excludes:

As reported, Q1 GAAP net income and diluted EPS were $791 million and $0.59, respectively, representing decreases of 15% and 16%, respectively. As detailed in the financial schedules included at the end of this release, Q1 non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS were $1.596 billion and $1.20, respectively, both representing increases of 6%. Included in non-GAAP diluted EPS was an 8 cent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, a 2 cent improvement from what was projected from May rates.

"We are pleased with the strong start to our fiscal year. We executed and delivered another quarter of mid-single digit revenue growth. Our solid results were broad-based, with each of our four segments delivering 6% organic revenue growth," said Geoff Martha, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. "We also continue to make great strides on our comprehensive transformation designed to ensure durable growth and create value for shareholders."

Cardiovascular PortfolioThe Cardiovascular Portfolio includes the Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure (CRHF), Structural Heart & Aortic (SHA), and Coronary & Peripheral Vascular (CPV) divisions. Revenue of $2.850 billion increased 5.5% as reported and 6.2% organic, with a low-double digit increase in SHA, mid-single digit increase in CRHF, and low-single digit increase in CPV, all on an organic basis.

Neuroscience PortfolioThe Neuroscience Portfolio includes the Cranial & Spinal Technologies (CST), Specialty Therapies, and Neuromodulation divisions. Revenue of $2.219 billion increased 4.9% as reported and 5.6% organic, with mid-single digit organic increases in CST, Specialty Therapies, and Neuromodulation.

Medical Surgical PortfolioThe Medical Surgical Portfolio includes the Surgical & Endoscopy (SE) and the Patient Monitoring & Respiratory Interventions (PMRI) divisions. Endoscopy was formerly called the Gastrointestinal business. Revenue of $2.039 billion increased 5.5% as reported and 6.1% organic, with a high-single digit organic increase in SE and mid-single digit organic increase in PMRI.

DiabetesDiabetes revenue of $578 million increased 6.8% as reported and 6.3% organic.

GuidanceThe company today raised its FY24 revenue growth and EPS guidance.

The company increased its FY24 organic revenue growth guidance to 4.5% versus the prior range of 4.0% to 4.5%. The organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency and revenue related to certain businesses reported as Other. If foreign currency exchange rates as of the beginning of August hold, FY24 revenue growth on a reported basis would be approximately 2.75%.

The company increased its FY24 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance from the prior range of $5.00 to $5.10 to the new range of $5.08 to $5.16, a 7 cent increase at the midpoint, inline with the company's operational EPS outperformance in the first quarter.

"Our revenue outperformance and focus on expense management drove operating margin expansion and mid-single digit adjusted earnings growth this quarter," said Karen Parkhill, Medtronic EVP & chief financial officer. "Given our first quarter performance, including a 7 cent operational beat on the bottom line, and improved fundamentals, we're raising our full year organic revenue growth and EPS guidance."

(1)

The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded to the nearest million or $0.01 for EPS figures, and, therefore, may not sum.

(2)

Associated costs include costs incurred as a direct result of the restructuring program, such as salaries for employees supporting the program and consulting expenses.

(3)

The charges primarily include business combination costs, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, and charges related to the impending separation of the Patient Monitoring and Respiratory Interventions businesses within our Medical Surgical Portfolio. The prior year included non-cash pre-tax impairments, primarily related to goodwill, as a result of the April 1, 2023 sale of half of the Company's Renal Care Solutions (RCS) business.

(4)

We exclude unrealized and realized gains and losses on our minority investments as we do not believe that these components of income or expense have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future business operations.

(5)

The charges represent incremental costs of complying with the new European Union (E.U.) medical device regulations for previously registered products and primarily include charges for contractors supporting the project and other direct third-party expenses. We consider these costs to be duplicative of previously incurred costs and/or one-time costs, which are limited to a specific time period.

(6)

The charge relates to an income tax reserve adjustment associated with the June 1, 2023 Israeli Central-Lod District Court decision in Medtronic Ventor Technologies Ltd v. Kfar Saba Assessing Office and amortization of previously established deferred tax assets from intercompany intellectual property transactions.

(7)

The charges relate to the early redemption of approximately $2.3 billion of debt and were recorded within interest expense, net within the consolidated statements of income.

(8)

The net benefit is due to a valuation allowance release associated with certain carryover attributes as a result of the RCS transaction listed above in (3) partially offset by the amortization of previously established deferred tax assets from intercompany intellectual property transactions.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTSThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks related to competitive factors, difficulties and delays inherent in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of medical products, government regulation and general economic conditions and other risks and uncertainties described in the company's periodic reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of the company, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words or expressions, such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "looking ahead," "may," "plan," "possible," "potential," "project," "should," "going to," "will," and similar words or expressions, the negative or plural of such words or expressions and other comparable terminology. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Medtronic does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or any of the information contained in this press release, including to reflect future events or circumstances.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESThis press release contains financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and organic revenue, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. References to quarterly or annual figures increasing, decreasing or remaining flat are in comparison to fiscal year 2023.

Medtronic management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the company's underlying operational performance and trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the med tech industry. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS exclude the effect of certain charges or gains that contribute to or reduce earnings but that result from transactions or events that management believes may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments). Medtronic generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management's review of the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and investors are cautioned that Medtronic may calculate non-GAAP financial measures in a way that is different from other companies. Management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.

Medtronic calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as significant acquisitions or divestitures. Forward-looking diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance also excludes other potential charges or gains that would be recorded as Non-GAAP Adjustments to earnings during the fiscal year. Medtronic does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP EPS guidance to projected GAAP EPS guidance because the combined impact and timing of recognition of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
