MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 24, 2009-- Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE:MDT) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended Oct. 30, 2009.

The company reported second quarter revenue of $3.838 billion, an 8 percent increase as reported and on a constant currency basis compared to the $3.570 billion reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. Reported second quarter net earnings were $868 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, increasing 59 and 63 percent, respectively, over the same period in the prior year. As detailed in the attached table, after adjusting for a litigation gain and the impact of adopting a new accounting standard for non-cash interest expense on convertible debt effective the beginning of fiscal year 2010, second quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $850 million and $0.77, an increase of 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively, over the same period in the prior year.

Revenue outside the United States of $1.541 billion grew 12 percent compared to the same period last year, or 13 percent on a constant currency basis, accounting for 40 percent of Medtronic’s worldwide revenue.

“Our solid financial performance this quarter was driven by consistent execution across our diversified portfolio of businesses,” said Bill Hawkins, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. “We are well-positioned to deliver on our commitments for the balance of our fiscal year and to launch innovative new products to drive further growth in the coming years.”

Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management
Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management (CRDM) revenue of $1.278 billion grew 3 percent as reported and on a constant currency basis. Revenue from implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) was $754 million, while pacing revenue was $498 million in the quarter. Outside the United States, CRDM revenue grew 4 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by the growing success of the AF Solutions business as well as solid growth in ICDs.

CardioVascular
CardioVascular revenue of $696 million grew 17 percent as reported and 18 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for an unfavorable $5 million foreign exchange impact. The CardioVascular business continues to experience strong global growth across the Coronary, Endovascular and Structural Heart Disease divisions, which grew 18 percent, 28 percent and 11 percent, respectively, on a constant currency basis. Continued adoption and use of the Endeavor® Drug-eluting Stent in Japan following its commercial launch earlier this fiscal year helped Coronary revenue grow to $369 million for the quarter.

Spinal
Spinal revenue of $862 million grew 4 percent as reported and on a constant currency basis. Both Core Spinal and Biologics products saw positive growth in the quarter. Core Spinal products, which include Kyphon, increased 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Biologics revenue grew 12 percent on a constant currency basis. Outside the United States, Spinal revenue grew 10 percent on a constant currency basis driven by solid growth in China, Middle East/Africa, Canada and Latin America.

Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation revenue of $384 million grew 12 percent as reported and on a constant currency basis. Growth in Neuromodulation continues to be driven by strong sales of Activa® PC and RC Deep Brain Stimulation systems for movement disorders, and InterStim® Therapy used to treat urinary and bowel incontinence.

Diabetes
Diabetes revenue of $300 million grew 10 percent as reported and 11 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for an unfavorable $2 million foreign exchange impact. This growth was driven by strong U.S. insulin pump and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) product sales, as well as strong sales of consumables in Europe. International sales grew 10 percent on a constant currency basis over the same quarter last year.

Surgical Technologies
Surgical Technologies revenue of $224 million grew 5 percent as reported and 6 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for an unfavorable $2 million foreign exchange impact. Growth in the business was attributed to strong sales in the monitoring product and power disposable product lines within the ENT division. Service plans for Navigation equipment used in both brain and spinal surgery procedures remained a positive contributor to revenue in the second quarter as well.

Physio-Control
Physio-Control revenue of $94 million grew 25 percent as reported and 24 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $1 million foreign exchange impact. Strong international sales and sales of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator, launched earlier in the fiscal year, contributed to favorable revenue growth in the quarter.

Guidance
The company today updated diluted earnings per share guidance and revenue outlook for fiscal year 2010. The company raised fiscal year 2010 EPS guidance to a range of $3.17 to $3.22, which compares to the previous guidance of $3.10 to $3.20. This updated guidance represents fiscal year 2010 EPS growth of 11 percent to 13 percent, after adjusting for $0.06 to $0.07 of acquisition dilution.

The company also reiterated its 5 percent to 8 percent constant currency revenue growth outlook for the foreseeable future and believes that the 5 percent to 8 percent constant currency growth rate remains reasonable for the second half of fiscal year 2010.

As in the past, all earnings per share ranges exclude any unusual charges or gains that might occur during the fiscal year and the impact of the non-cash charge to interest expense due to the change in accounting rules governing convertible debt and includes $0.06 to $0.07 of acquisition dilution for the full fiscal year. In addition, EPS guidance does not take into account any potential impact from a U.S. medical device industry tax being proposed as part of broader U.S. healthcare reform.

“I am pleased that we continue to perform well in this challenging macroeconomic environment, which reflects the underlying resilience and strength of Medtronic’s diverse businesses across the globe,” said Hawkins. “Our businesses are focused on therapies for the most prevalent chronic diseases, and we will deliver innovative solutions to physicians and their patients around the world.”

(1) The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded to the nearest $0.01 and therefore may not sum.

(a) The $44 million ($0.04 per share) after-tax ($70 million pre-tax) certain litigation gain is related to the resolution of outstanding patent litigation with W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore) related to selected patents in Medtronic’s Jervis and Wiktor patent families. The terms of the agreement stipulate that neither party will sue each other in the defined field of use, subject to certain conditions. Medtronic granted Gore a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive license in the defined field of use. In addition and subject to certain conditions, Gore will pay Medtronic a quarterly license payment through the fiscal quarter ending October 2018. In addition to disclosing this certain litigation gain that is determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding this $70 million pre-tax certain litigation gain. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates this certain litigation gain when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(b) The adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) new authoritative guidance on accounting for convertible debt has resulted in an after-tax impact to net earnings of $26 million ($0.02 per share) and $24 million ($0.02 per share) for the three months ended October 30, 2009 and October 24, 2008, respectively. The pre-tax impact to interest expense, net was $41 million and $38 million for the three months ended October 30, 2009 and October 24, 2008, respectively. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of the adoption of this new authoritative guidance that is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding the impact of the adoption of this new guidance. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates the impact of the adoption of this new guidance when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(c) The $176 million ($0.16 per share) after-tax certain litigation charge is related to a $229 million ($152 million after-tax) charge related to the final judgment in litigation with the Cordis Corporation (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson) that originated in October 1997 and a $37 million ($24 million after-tax) charge related to the settlement of litigation with Fastenetix LLC that originated in May 2006. The charge related to litigation with the Cordis Corporation was in addition to a $243 million reserve recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these certain litigation charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these certain litigation charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(d) The $11 million ($0.01 per share) after-tax IPR&D charge represents the purchase of certain intellectual property for use in the Spine business. These payments were expensed as IPR&D since technological feasibility of the underlying product had not yet been reached and such technology has no future alternative use. In addition to disclosing IPR&D charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these IPR&D charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these IPR&D charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(1) The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded to the nearest $0.01 and therefore may not sum.

(a) The $50 million ($0.04 per share) after-tax ($69 million pre-tax) restructuring charge is the net impact of a $52 million after-tax charge related to restructuring initiatives that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, offset by a $2 million after-tax net reversal of excess reserves related to the global realignment initiative that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The fiscal year 2009 initiatives are designed to streamline operations and further align resources around the Company’s higher growth opportunities. This initiative impacts most businesses and certain corporate functions. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recognized expense associated with compensation and early retirement benefits provided to employees which could not be accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. In addition, the Company recorded $4 million of the after-tax expense ($7 million pre-tax) within cost of products sold related to inventory write-offs and production-related asset impairments associated with these restructuring activities. The $2 million after-tax net reversal is primarily a result of a $5 million after-tax reversal due to favorable severance negotiations with certain employee populations outside the U.S. as well as a higher than expected percentage of employees identified for elimination finding positions elsewhere within the Company partially offset by a $3 million after-tax charge the Company recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 related to the further write-down of a non-inventory related asset resulting from the continued decline in the international real estate market. There were no additional restructuring charges in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. In addition to disclosing restructuring charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these restructuring charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these restructuring charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(b) The $316 million ($0.28 per share) after-tax ($374 million pre-tax) certain litigation charges, net relate to settlements with Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) and with W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore). The Abbott settlement accounted for $360 million after-tax ($444 million pre-tax) charges and the Gore settlement accounted for $44 million after-tax ($70 million pre-tax) gain of certain litigation charges, net. The Abbott settlement related to the resolution of all outstanding intellectual property litigation. The terms of the Abbott agreement stipulate that neither party will sue each other in the field of coronary stent and stent delivery systems for a period of at least 10 years, subject to certain conditions. Both parties also agreed to a cross-license of the disputed patents within the defined field. The $444 million pre-tax settlement amount includes a $400 million payment to Abbott and a $42 million success payment made to evYsio Medical Devices, LLC (evYsio). In addition, a $2 million payment was made to evYsio in order to expand the definition of the license field from evYsio. The Gore settlement related to the resolution of outstanding patent litigation related to selected patents in Medtronic’s Jervis and Wiktor patent families. The terms of the agreement stipulate that neither party will sue each other in the defined field of use, subject to certain conditions. In addition and subject to certain conditions, Medtronic granted Gore a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive license in the defined field of use. Gore will also pay Medtronic a quarterly license payment through the fiscal quarter ending October 2018. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these certain litigation charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these certain litigation charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies

(c) The adoption of new authoritative guidance for convertible debt accounting has resulted in an after-tax impact to net earnings of $54 million ($0.05 per share) and $48 million ($0.04 per share) for the six months ended October 30, 2009 and October 24, 2008, respectively. The pre-tax impact to interest expense, net was $84 million and $76 million for the six months ended October 30, 2009 and October 24, 2008, respectively. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of the adoption of this new guidance that is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding the impact of the adoption of this new guidance. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates the impact of adoption of this new guidance when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(d) The $66 million ($0.06 per share) after-tax restructuring charge is related to a global realignment initiative that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. This initiative focuses on shifting resources to those areas where the Company has the greatest opportunities for growth and streamlining operations to drive operating leverage. The global realignment initiative impacts most businesses and certain corporate functions. The majority of the expense recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 is related to the execution of our global realignment initiative outside the United States. This includes the realignment of personnel throughout Europe and the Emerging Markets and the closure of an existing facility in the Netherlands that will be integrated into the U.S. operations. The remainder of the expense is associated with compensation provided to employees identified in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 whose employment terminated with the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. These incremental costs were not accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 because these benefits had not yet been communicated to the impacted employees. As of October 30, 2009, the global realignment initiative was substantially complete. In addition to disclosing restructuring charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these restructuring charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these restructuring charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(e) The $176 million ($0.16 per share) after-tax certain litigation charge is related to a $229 million ($152 million after-tax) charge related to the final judgment in litigation with the Cordis Corporation (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson) that originated in October 1997 and a $37 million ($24 million after-tax) charge related to the settlement of litigation with Fastenetix LLC that originated in May 2006. The charge related to litigation with the Cordis Corporation was in addition to a $243 million reserve recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these certain litigation charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these certain litigation charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(f) The $11 million ($0.01 per share) after-tax IPR&D charge represents the purchase of certain intellectual property for use in the Spine business. These payments were expensed as IPR&D since technological feasibility of the underlying product had not yet been reached and such technology has no future alternative use. In addition to disclosing IPR&D charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these IPR&D charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these IPR&D charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(g) The $0.01 per share adjustment is the result of adopting new FASB issued authoritative guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 for determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. This new guidance provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method. The Company is required to retrospectively adjust all prior-period EPS data. The Company included 4.1 million and 4.2 million for the three and six months October 24, 2008, respectively, which resulted in a $0.01 per share increase to non-GAAP diluted EPS for six months ended October 24, 2008. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of the adoption of this new guidance that is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding the impact of the adoption of this new guidance. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company's ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates the impact of adoption of this new guidance when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.
