Gross margin expanded 80 basis points (bps) to 64.9% in the reported quarter on lower purchase accounting adjustments from the TEI acquisition. Adjusted gross margin contracted 80 bps to 68.4% primarily due to dilution at Derma Sciences.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 21.6% to $145.0 million in the reported quarter, and research and development expenses rose 7.3% to $15.7 million. Adjusted operating margin (excluding amortization of intangible asset) saw a 242-bps contraction to 7.9% in the second quarter.

2017 Outlook Tweaked
Management has raised the low end of the earlier provided full-year 2017 revenue guidance from the range of $1.120 billion to $1.140 billion to $1.125 billion to $1.140 billion. Meanwhile, the full-year 2017 organic revenue growth range was lowered to 6.0% to 7.0% from 7% to 8.5%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for full-year 2017 revenues is $1.13 billion, within the guided range.
The company has reaffirmed its full-year 2017 adjusted EPS at $1.88 to $1.94. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2017 adjusted earnings is pegged at $1.91 per share, within the company’s guided range.
Our Take
Integra LifeSciences exited the second quarter of 2017 on a disappointing note with revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. We are concerned about the currency headwind that is expected to affect the company’s financial performance in the rest of 2017. Also, contraction in adjusted operating margin and adjusted gross margin adds to the woes.
However, the strong year-over-year increase in revenues on the back of its Orthopedics and Tissue Technologies’ segment buoys optimism. Also, we are encouraged to note that both the company’s segments saw year-over-year revenue growth in the quarter. Nonetheless, we believe the company is trying to execute its growth plan through product launches and an efficient management team.
