Read MoreHide Full Article

Integer Holdings Corporation (ITGR - Free Report) reported third-quarter 2020 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 50 cents, which outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 32 cents by 56.3%. However, the bottom line plunged 58.3% on a year-over-year basis.

Revenues declined 22.3% year over year to $235.9 million on a reported basis. Nonetheless, the top line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.7%.

Segmental Analysis

Integer Holdings operates through two segments — Medical Sales and Non-Medical Sales.

Medical Sales

At the segment, reported revenues were $227.7 million, down 21.3% year over year. Revenues declined 22.3% from the prior-year quarter on an organic basis.

Medical Sales has three sub-segments — Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics and Portable Medical (AS&O); Cardio & Vascular; and Cardiac & Neuromodulation.

Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics and Portable Medical

Integer Holdings’ Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical segment has been divested to Viant. Consequently, revenues at the segment comprise net sales from acquirer Viant under supply agreements associated with the divestiture.

Revenues amounted to $30.2 million, down 12% year over year and 12.2% on an organic basis. Per management, the downside was due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and a blend of customers’ responses.

Cardio & Vascular

Revenues at the segment totaled $124.6 million, down 16.1% from the prior-year quarter and 18% organically. Per management, this was owing to the impact of the pandemic and customers’ responses throughout nearly all Cardio & Vascular markets.

Cardiac & Neuromodulation

Revenues at this segment totaled $72.9 million, declining 31.6% on both year-over-year and organic basis. This was due to Nuvectra bankruptcy ($3 million headwind) and decline in CRM and Neuromodulation (corresponding to the impact of the pandemic and a blend of customers’ responses).

Non-Medical Sales

Reported revenues at the segment totaled $8.3 million, down 41.7% on both year-over-year and organic basis.

Margin Analysis

Integer Holdings generated a gross profit of $57.9 million in the third quarter, down 37.9% year over year. As a percentage of revenues, gross margin in the reported quarter contracted 620 basis points (bps) to 24.6%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $3.6 million, down 89% year over year.

Research, development and engineering costs were $11.9 million in the quarter, up 1.4% year over year.

Total operating income amounted to $39.8 million, which declined 14.5% year over year.

Operating margin in the quarter under review was 16.9%, up 160 bps year over year.

Q4 Guidance

The company projects sales to be $20-$35 million higher than that of third quarter. Adjusted operating income margin is expected to be 200-300 bps higher than the third quarter.

Summing Up

Integer Holdings exited the third quarter on a strong note, wherein both earnings and revenues beat their respective Zacks Consensus Estimates. However, the company witnessed weak performance across its segments in the quarter under review. Also, contraction in gross margin is a dampener.

Nonetheless, strong demand across key areas like structural heart is a tailwind. Further, higher demand for ventilator and patient monitoring components fuel optimism. Also, expansion in operating margin is a positive.

Zacks Rank

Currently, Integer Holdings carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
