London, August 3, 2022 – LivaNova PLC (Nasdaq: LIVN), a market-leading medical technology and innovation company, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Financial Summary and Highlights1

•Revenue of $254.2 million for the quarter, decreased 3.9 percent on a reported basis and increased 0.5 percent on a constant-currency basis, as compared to the prior-year period

•Revenue, excluding sales from the Heart Valves business which was divested effective June 1, 2021, increased 1.8 percent on a reported basis and 6.5 percent on a constant-currency basis, as compared to the prior-year period

•U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share were $0.30 and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.53

•Closed term loan facilities in July 2022 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $350 million and repaid in full and terminated the prior $220 million bridge facility

•Received New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) approval from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid for the Hemolung Respiratory Assist System for in-patient care

•Updating full-year 2022 outlook to reflect foreign currency headwinds and supply chain pressures, including the inflationary environment

“We delivered revenue growth in the second quarter, excluding foreign currency headwinds, driven by our Cardiopulmonary and Neuromodulation businesses,” said Damien McDonald, Chief Executive Officer of LivaNova. “Based on our first-half performance, we now forecast higher full-year revenue growth on strong demand in Cardiopulmonary. To reflect the impact of foreign currency and increased supply chain pressures, we now expect lower adjusted earnings and free cash flow. We are committed to executing on our core growth drivers, delivering on our extensive clinical and product pipeline opportunities, and improving profitability and cash generation."

1 Constant-currency percent change, revenue excluding sales from the Heart Valves business, adjusted operating income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. For an explanation of these and other non-GAAP measures used in this release, see the section entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures." For reconciliations of certain non-GAAP measures, see the tables that accompany this press release.

The following table summarizes sales for the second quarter of 2022 by segment (in millions):

•Note: Numbers may not add precisely due to rounding. Constant-currency percent change and Total Net Sales, Excluding Heart Valves are non-GAAP metrics. For an explanation of these and other non-GAAP metrics used in this release, see the section entitled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures." For reconciliations of certain non-GAAP metrics, see the tables that accompany this press release.

(1)     Three-month period ended June 30, 2021 includes the results of the Heart Valves business, which was divested effective June 1, 2021.

All revenue growth rates below reflect comparable, constant-currency growth. Constant-currency growth accounts for the impact from fluctuations in the various currencies in which the Company operates as compared to reported growth.

Cardiopulmonary revenue increased 14.3 percent versus the second quarter of 2021 with growth across all regions. This growth was primarily driven by oxygenator sales due to an increase in cardiac surgery procedures and strength in heart-lung machine sales in the Rest of World and U.S. regions.

Neuromodulation revenue increased 2.3 percent versus the second quarter of 2021 driven by the Europe and Rest of World regions and by favorable pricing in the U.S., partially offset by lower implant volumes.

Advanced Circulatory Support (ACS) revenue decreased 29.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to a reduction in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) related to fewer severe COVID-19 cases and hospital staffing challenges, partially offset by growth in non-COVID-19 cases.

Financial Performance2

On a U.S. GAAP basis, second-quarter 2022 operating income was $31.8 million, as compared to an operating loss of $36.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income for the second quarter of 2022 was $33.4 million, as compared to $37.9 million for the second quarter of 2021.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, second-quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share was $0.30, as compared to a diluted loss per share of $1.15 in the second quarter of 2021. Second-quarter 2022 adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.53, as compared to $0.50 per share in the second quarter of 2021.

LivaNova now expects revenue for full-year 2022 to grow between 4 and 6 percent on a constant-currency basis, excluding the impact of the Heart Valves divestiture. Foreign currency is now expected to be a 4 to 5 percent headwind.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share for 2022 are now expected to be in the range of $2.25 to $2.45, assuming a fully diluted share count of 54 million for full-year 2022. In 2022, the Company now estimates that adjusted free cash flow will be in the range of $60 to $80 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this press release, management has disclosed financial measurements that present financial information not in accordance with GAAP. Company management uses these measurements as aids in monitoring the Company’s ongoing financial performance from quarter to quarter and year to year on a regular basis and for benchmarking against other medical technology companies. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, operating performance measures as prescribed by GAAP.

Unless otherwise noted, all sales growth rates in this release reflect comparable, constant-currency growth. Management believes that referring to comparable, constant-currency growth is the most useful way to evaluate the sales performance of LivaNova and to compare the sales performance of current periods to prior periods on a consistent basis. Constant-currency growth, a non-GAAP financial measure, measures the change in sales between current and prior-year periods using average exchange rates in effect during the applicable prior-year period.

LivaNova calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For example, forward-looking net sales growth projections are estimated on a constant-currency basis and exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance exclude other items such as, but not limited to, changes in fair value of derivatives and contingent consideration arrangements and asset impairment charges that would be included in comparable GAAP financial measures. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for constant-currency net sales, non-GAAP adjusted tax rate and adjusted diluted earnings per share are net sales, the effective tax rate and earnings per share, respectively. The most directly comparable GAAP measure for adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities.

However, non-GAAP financial adjustments on a forward-looking basis are subject to uncertainty and variability as they are dependent on many factors, including but not limited to, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations, impacts from potential acquisitions or divestitures, the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, gains or losses on the potential sale of businesses or other assets, restructuring costs, merger and integration activities, changes in fair value of derivatives and contingent consideration arrangements, asset impairment charges and the tax impact of the aforementioned items, tax law changes or other tax matters. Accordingly, forward-looking GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

The Company also believes adjusted financial measures such as adjusted gross profit percentage, adjusted selling, general and administrative expense, adjusted research and development expense, adjusted other operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share, are measures by which LivaNova generally uses to facilitate management review of the operational performance of the company, to serve as a basis for strategic planning and to assist in the design of compensation incentive plans. Additionally, the Company also uses the non-GAAP liquidity measure adjusted free cash flow. Furthermore, adjusted financial measures allow investors to evaluate the Company’s core performance for different periods on a more comparable and consistent basis, and with other entities in the medical technology industry by adjusting for items that are not related to the ongoing operations of the Company or incurred in the ordinary course of business.
