Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2010.

Medtronic recorded fiscal year 2010 revenue of $15.817 billion, an 8 percent increase over fiscal year 2009 revenue on both an as reported and constant currency basis. As reported, fiscal year 2010 net earnings were $3.099 billion, or $2.79 per diluted share, an increase of 50 percent and 52 percent, respectively. As detailed in the attached table, non-GAAP net earnings and diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2010 were $3.577 billion and $3.22, an increase of 9 percent and 10 percent, respectively.

For the first time in Medtronic's 61-year history, the company delivered revenue exceeding $4 billion in a quarter. The company reported fourth quarter revenue of $4.196 billion, a 10 percent increase over reported fourth quarter revenue a year ago, or a 6 percent increase on a constant currency basis. As reported, fourth quarter net earnings were $954 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, an increase of 826 percent and 856 percent, respectively. As detailed in the attached table, fourth quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $986 million and $0.89, an increase of 8 percent and 9 percent, respectively. Fourth quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share reflect a negative impact from U.S. healthcare reform legislation related to the elimination of a federal tax deduction for government subsidies of retiree prescription drug benefits by $14.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, respectively.

For the year, international revenue grew to $6.451 billion, up 15 percent over the prior fiscal year and 13 percent on a constant currency basis. In fiscal year 2010, international revenue represented 41 percent of total company revenues. Medtronic generated $1.754 billion in fourth quarter international revenue, an increase of 20 percent over the same period last year and 11 percent on a constant currency basis.

"Across businesses and geographies, we have been executing against our strategy, resulting in a record $4 billion quarter," said William A. Hawkins, chairman and chief executive officer. "We continue to strengthen our core businesses and have launched new therapies that today address a growing number of unmet chronic medical needs. We have a number of exciting new therapies we are preparing to launch in fiscal 2011, which will further solidify our leadership position in the markets we serve."

Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management
Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management annual revenue of $5.268 billion increased 5 percent as reported and 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter revenue of $1.409 billion increased 8 percent as reported and 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) revenue of $881 million grew 10 percent on a constant currency basis, and pacing revenue of $495 million declined 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter CRDM growth was driven by ICD sales in the United States, due in part to a competitor's suspension of sales, and the growing success of the AF Solutions business outside the United States.

CardioVascular
CardioVascular annual revenue of $2.864 billion increased 18 percent as reported and 16 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter revenue of $757 million increased 18 percent as reported and 12 percent on a constant currency basis. The Coronary, Structural Heart, and Endovascular businesses grew revenue 9 percent, 17 percent, and 12 percent, respectively, all on a constant currency basis. Strong international growth across the entire CardioVascular segment contributed to the quarterly performance.

Spinal
Spinal annual revenue of $3.500 billion increased 3 percent as reported and 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter Spinal revenue of $880 million was flat as reported and declined 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Outside the United States, Spinal grew 6 percent on a constant currency basis in the quarter, driven by the return to growth of balloon kyphoplasty in Western Europe.

Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation annual revenue of $1.560 billion increased 9 percent as reported and 8 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter revenue of $411 million increased 6 percent as reported and 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Neuromodulation growth was driven by sales of Activa(R) PC and RC Deep Brain Stimulation for movement disorders, and InterStim(R) Therapy for overactive bladder and urinary retention, as well as bowel control outside the United States.

Diabetes
Diabetes annual revenue of $1.237 billion increased 11 percent as reported and 10 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter revenue of $332 million increased 12 percent as reported and 8 percent on a constant currency basis. Growth in the quarter was driven by a strong international performance and growth in continuous glucose monitoring sales.

Surgical Technologies
Surgical Technologies annual revenue of $963 million increased 12 percent as reported and 11 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter revenue of $273 million increased 16 percent as reported and 13 percent on a constant currency basis. The segment experienced broad-based growth across geographies and platforms including strong results from Navigation on sales of its O-Arm(R) Imaging System in the United States and continued growth in the Ear, Nose and Throat business on capital equipment sales of nerve monitoring, image guided surgery, and power equipment.

Physio-Control
Physio-Control annual revenue of $425 million increased 24 percent as reported and 22 percent on a constant currency basis. Fourth quarter revenue of $134 million increased 60 percent as reported and 52 percent on a constant currency basis. Growth was driven by strong sales of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator and the resumption of unrestricted global shipments early in the quarter following the lifting of United States Food and Drug Administration distribution restrictions.

Guidance
The company today provided its revenue outlook and diluted earnings per share (EPS) guidance for fiscal year 2011.

For fiscal year 2011, the company expects revenue growth in the range of 5 to 8 percent on a constant currency basis. The company expects diluted EPS in the range of $3.45 to $3.55, which includes approximately $0.05 of dilution from the acquisition of Invatec and the pending ATS Medical acquisition. Excluding the impact of acquisition dilution and the benefit of the extra week in fiscal year 2010, fiscal year 2011 EPS growth is expected to be in the range of 10 percent to 13 percent.

Earnings per share guidance excludes 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. The guidance provided only reflects information available to the company at this time.

In closing, Hawkins said, "We have the most robust portfolio of products and compelling therapies in the industry, and we remain focused on providing innovative, cost-effective solutions to the global challenge of chronic diseases affecting more people worldwide than ever before."

(a) The $9 million ($0.01 per share) after-tax ($12 million pre-tax) reversal of excess restructuring reserves is related to the fiscal year 2009 initiative that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. The $9 million after-tax reversal is primarily a result of a higher than expected percentage of employees identified for elimination finding positions elsewhere within the Company. 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 $17 million ($0.02 per share) after-tax IPR&D and certain acquisition-related costs represent a $7 million after-tax ($11 million pre-tax) IPR&D charge related to the Arbor Surgical Technologies, Inc. asset purchase and $10 million after-tax ($12 million pre-tax) of certain acquisition-related costs associated with the acquisition of Invatec, S.p.A. In the above IPR&D charge, technological feasibility of the underlying products had not yet been reached and such technology had no future alternative use. The certain acquisition-related costs include legal fees, severance costs and contract termination costs that were expensed in the period. In addition to disclosing IPR&D and certain acquisition-related costs 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 and certain acquisition-related costs. 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 and certain acquisition-related costs 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.

The pre-tax impact to interest expense, net was $42 million and $39 million for the three months ended April 30, 2010 and April 24, 2009, respectively.

(d) The $64 million ($0.06 per share) special charge represents an after-tax charitable donation ($100 million pre-tax) made to The Medtronic Foundation. In addition to disclosing special 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 this donation.

(e) The $16 million ($0.02 per share) after-tax ($27 million pre-tax) restructuring charge is the net impact of a $22 million after-tax charge for restructuring initiatives that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, offset by a $6 million after-tax 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 were designed to streamline operations and further align resources around the Company's higher growth opportunities. The initiative impacted most businesses and certain corporate functions. The Company recorded $2 million of the after-tax expense within cost of products sold related to inventory write-offs and production-related asset impairments associated with these restructuring activities. The $6 million after-tax reversal is primarily a result of 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.

The J&J settlement accounted for $188 million after-tax ($270 million pre-tax) charges and the DePuy settlement accounted for $122 after-tax ($178 million pre-tax) charges. The J&J settlement related to resolution of all royalty disputes with Johnson & Johnson which concern Medtronic's licensed use of certain patents. The agreement ended all current and potential disputes between the two parties under their 1997 settlement and license agreement relating to coronary angioplasty stent design and balloon material patents. The DePuy settlement relates to patent infringement claims stemming from the Vertex line of multiaxial screws. On June 1, 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the December 2007 ruling of infringement and awarded damages based on lost profits, but reversed certain elements of the original 2007 award. Prior to the U.S. Court of Appeals' decision, the Company had not recorded expense related to the damages awarded in 2007 as the Company did not believe that an unfavorable outcome in this matter was probable under U.S. GAAP. As a result of the U.S. Court of Appeals' decision, the Company recorded a reserve of $178 million which covered the revised damages award and pre- and post-judgment interest. Since the DePuy litigation originated prior to April 24, 2009, the Company appropriately recognized this charge in the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 24, 2009. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges, net 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.

In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(g) The $530 million ($0.47 per share) after-tax IPR&D charge represents the cumulative impact of several transactions which took place during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009:

-$97 million ($97 million pre-tax) related to the acquisition of Ablation Frontiers, Inc.;

-$307 million ($307 million pre-tax) related to the acquisition of Ventor Technologies, Ltd.;

-$123 million ($123 million pre-tax) related to the acquisition of CoreValve, Inc.; and

-$3 million ($3 million pre-tax) related to the purchase of certain intellectual property for use in the Spinal and Diabetes operating segments.

In each of the above transactions, technological feasibility of the underlying products had not yet been reached and such technology had 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.

The years under review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service were with respect to fiscal years 2005 and 2006, while the numerous state and foreign audits covered fiscal years ranging from 1998 through 2008. In addition to disclosing the provision for income taxes 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 this certain tax adjustment. 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, specifically the effective tax rate. Medtronic management eliminates this certain tax adjustment when evaluating the operating performance of the Company.

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.
