CONMED Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

CONMED Corporation (NYSE: CNMD) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Sales of $332.1 million increased 4.5% year-over-year as reported and 5.2% in constant currency.
  • Domestic revenue increased 6.1% year-over-year.
  • International revenue increased 2.6% year-over-year as reported and 4.0% in constant currency.
  • Diluted net earnings per share (GAAP) were $0.96 compared to diluted net earnings per share (GAAP) of $0.43 in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) were $0.98, an increase of 18.1% compared to the second quarter of 2023.

“Our second quarter and first half of 2024 played out largely as expected. Looking forward, we have not yet fully recovered from our supply chain challenges, which has delayed the commercial reacceleration that we had contemplated in our plan at the beginning of the year,” commented Curt R. Hartman, CONMED’s Chair of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “We remain highly focused on getting back on offense to serve our customers and driving above-market, long-term growth.”

2024 Outlook

Full year reported revenue is now expected to be between $1.305 billion and $1.315 billion, compared to the prior guidance range of between $1.330 billion and $1.355 billion. Foreign currency is expected to have a negative impact on revenue in the range of $5 million to $10 million for the full year.

The Company now expects full-year adjusted diluted net earnings per share(2) in the range of $3.95 to $4.02, compared to its prior range of $4.25 to $4.35. Foreign currency is expected to have an immaterial impact on earnings per share for the full year.

Supplemental Financial Disclosures

(1) A reconciliation of reported diluted net earnings per share to adjusted diluted net earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, appears below.

(2) Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted diluted net earnings per share to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort, as discussed below.

The Company’s management will host a conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss its second quarter 2024 results.

The Company believes that all forward-looking statements made by it have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct.

Supplemental Information - Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company supplements the reporting of its financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; adjusted gross profit; cost of sales excluding specified items; adjusted selling and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income; adjusted interest expense; adjusted income tax expense; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net income, adjusted diluted shares and adjusted diluted net earnings per share (EPS). The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and shareholders in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of its operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, its core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in the Company’s underlying business. Further, the presentation of EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement that management considers useful for measuring aspects of the Company’s cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with its budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP financial measures.

Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. The Company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, the Company removes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of net sales. To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, the Company excludes certain items that affect the comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing, may not be indicative of past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales growth, gross profit, cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses, operating income, interest expense, income tax expense, effective income tax rate, net income, diluted shares and diluted net earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures above, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected diluted net earnings per share to expected adjusted diluted net earnings per share as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of acquisition, integration and other charges. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our consolidated condensed statements of income.
