MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 23, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) --

Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE:MDT) today announced financial results for its second quarter of fiscal year 2011, which ended October 29, 2010.

The company reported worldwide second quarter revenue of $3.903 billion, compared to the $3.838 billion reported in the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of 2 percent as reported and on a constant currency basis.

As detailed in the attached table, second quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $887 million and $0.82, an increase of 4 percent and 6 percent, respectively, over the same period in the prior year. As reported, second quarter net earnings were $566 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, a decrease of 35 percent and 33 percent, respectively, over the same period in the prior year.

International revenue of $1.608 billion increased 4 percent compared to the same period last year, or an increase of 6 percent after adjusting for a $29 million negative foreign currency impact. International sales accounted for 41 percent of Medtronic's worldwide revenue.

"Overall, we saw relative market stability from July through October in a challenging market environment with more consistent performance in our businesses, resulting in sequential share gains in ICDs, pacemakers, spine, and drug-eluting stents," said Bill Hawkins, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. "While macroeconomic challenges remain, we continue to advance our pipeline, drive growth in emerging markets and with our emerging therapies, and remain focused on leveraging our size and scale to reduce our cost structure. This positions us well for solid, market-leading performance in the long run."

Cardiac and Vascular Group

The Cardiac and Vascular Group at Medtronic is comprised of Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management (CRDM), CardioVascular, and Physio-Control. The group reported worldwide sales in the quarter of $2.095 billion, which represents an increase of 1 percent as reported or 2 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Cardiac & Vascular Group International sales of $1.084 billion were up 4 percent as reported or 5 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Group performance was driven by strong CardioVascular and Physio-Control sales offset by slower sales in CRDM.

CRDM revenue of $1.248 billion declined 2 percent as reported or 1 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Revenue from implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) of $745 million was down 1 percent compared to the same period in the prior year, but up 3 percent sequentially compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Pacing revenue was $472 million in the quarter, a decline of 5 percent. CRDM sales were negatively affected by slower market growth, but partially offset by continued growth of the AF Solutions business and the continued adoption of the Protecta(TM) ICD in Europe.

CardioVascular revenue of $738 million grew 6 percent as reported, or 7 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Revenue growth was driven by strong international performance, particularly in Latin America, Greater China and Other Asia, leading to an increase in international sales of 10 percent as reported, or 12 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. The Coronary & Peripheral, Structural Heart, and Endovascular businesses grew worldwide revenue 3 percent, 17 percent, and 3 percent, respectively, after adjusting for foreign currency. Structural Heart revenue was driven by continued solid growth in transcatheter valves as well as revenue from the recent acquisition of ATS Medical, which closed in August.

Physio-Control revenue of $109 million increased 16 percent as reported, or 18 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Solid U.S. growth of 31 percent was due in part to strong sales of the LIFEPAK(TM) 15 monitor/defibrillator and the resolution of a supplier constraint at the beginning of the quarter.

Restorative Therapies Group

The Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic is comprised of Spinal, Neuromodulation, Diabetes, and Surgical Technologies. The group had worldwide sales in the quarter of $1.808 billion, which represents an increase of 2 percent as reported or 3 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Restorative Therapies Group International sales of $524 million increased 6 percent as reported, or 8 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Group revenue performance was led by strong growth in Diabetes and Surgical Technologies, offset by weaker sales in Spinal and Neuromodulation.

Spinal revenue of $850 million declined 1 percent both as reported and after adjusting for foreign currency, but was up 3 percent sequentially compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Sales in Core Spinal declined 1 percent. Biologics revenue decreased 2 percent. Slow but stable market growth, affected by continued utilization and pricing pressures, contributed to Spinal results.

Neuromodulation revenue of $388 million increased 1 percent as reported or 2 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. After adjusting for the fiscal year 2010 divestiture of the Bravo pH monitoring business, sales growth was 3 percent on a constant currency basis. Results were driven by new implant growth in pain stimulation therapies, Deep Brain Stimulation systems for movement disorders, and InterStim(R) Therapy for overactive bladder and urinary retention, and bowel control outside the United States.

Diabetes revenue of $326 million grew 9 percent as reported or 11 percent after adjusting for foreign currency. Growth in the quarter was driven by strong sales of continuous glucose monitoring products as well as solid performance in international markets, particularly in sales of insulin pumps.

Surgical Technologies revenue of $244 million grew 9 percent both as reported and on a constant currency basis. After adjusting for the fiscal year 2010 divestiture of the Ophthalmic business, sales growth was 11 percent on a constant currency basis. Sales performance in the U.S. was solid as capital spending in hospitals continued to improve, providing opportunities for technology upgrades driven by new product launches. International performance was strong in Japan, China and Latin America.

Revenue Outlook and Earnings per Share Guidance

The company today updated its revenue outlook and adjusted its diluted earnings per share guidance for fiscal year 2011.

For the second half of fiscal year 2011, based on estimated market growth of 2 to 3 percent, the company expects revenue growth in the range of 2 to 4 percent on a constant currency basis.

For fiscal year 2011, the company expects diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.38 to $3.44, which includes approximately $0.05 of dilution from the acquisition of Invatec and ATS Medical but does not take into account any impact from the pending acquisition of Ardian. Excluding the approximate $0.05 impact of acquisition dilution and the approximate $0.05 benefit of the extra week in fiscal year 2010, fiscal year 2011 diluted earnings per share growth is expected to be in the range of 8 percent to 10 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 accounting rules governing convertible debt. The guidance provided only reflects information available to the company at this time.

"With the overwhelming financial and societal impact of chronic disease, it is a critical time for Medtronic's leadership in the management of major health problems like diabetes, heart disease, neurological disorders and musculoskeletal disorders," said Hawkins. "We have the size, scale and financial strength to significantly and fundamentally change the future direction of chronic disease globally."

(1) Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand Medtronic's short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of foreign currency translation on revenue. In addition, Medtronic management uses results of operations before currency translation to evaluate the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(b) The $27 million ($0.02 per share) after-tax ($39 million pre-tax) IPR&D and certain acquisition-related costs represent an $11 million after-tax ($15 million pre-tax) IPR&D charge related to the NeuroPace, Inc. cross-licensing agreement and $16 million after-tax ($24 million pre-tax) of certain acquisition-related costs. The IPR&D charge related to a milestone payment under existing terms of a royalty bearing, non-exclusive patent cross-licensing agreement with NeuroPace, Inc. that the Company entered into in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. This payment was charged to IPR&D as technological feasibility has not yet been reached and such technology has no future alternative use. The certain acquisition-related costs include acquisition-related legal fees and severance costs, change in control costs, and contract termination costs related to the acquisition of ATS Medical. Inc. 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.

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 or similar to measures presented by other companies.

 
(c) The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) authoritative guidance for convertible debt accounting has resulted in an after-tax impact to net earnings of $54 million ($0.05 per share) for both the six months ended October 29, 2010 and October 30, 2009. The pre-tax impact to interest expense, net was $86 million and $84 million for the six months ended October 29, 2010 and October 30, 2009, respectively. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of this 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 this authoritative 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.

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