Executive Summary

  • Third quarter 2017 net sales totaled $401 million, compared to $398 million in the same period last year.
  • Net income for the third quarter 2017 was $17 million compared to net income of $9 million in the third quarter a year ago. Third quarter adjusted net income was $28 million compared to adjusted net income of $23 million in the prior year.
  • Third quarter diluted earnings per share were $0.35 compared to $0.19 diluted earnings per share in the third quarter 2016. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the quarter were $0.60, compared to $0.48 in the prior year.
  • Year-to-date net sales totaled $1,196 million, up 1 percent, compared to the year-ago period.
  • Through nine months, diluted earnings per share were $0.98 compared to $0.63 a year ago. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first nine months were $1.58, compared to $1.47 in the prior year.
  • Halyard separately announced an agreement to sell the S&IP business to Owens & Minor for $710 million. The divestiture accelerates the company's transformation into a pure-play medical devices business operating in attractive end-markets, enables increased management focus, and provides the company with additional financial capacity to pursue future growth opportunities. 
  • The company raised its full-year 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook to $2.03 to $2.13 from $1.85 to $2.05.

"Halyard delivered another strong quarter, driven by momentum in our Medical Devices segment. We continued to deliver against our transformation strategy, with Medical Devices delivering net sales and operating profit growth of four and 18 percent, respectively. We also reached another milestone in our evolution with the agreement to sell the S&IP business to Owens & Minor. This transaction accelerates our transformation as a pure-play medical devices business and positions the S&IP franchise and its employees for success through more focused ownership," said Joe Woody, Halyard chief executive officer. "As a result of our year-to-date performance, we're raising our full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share outlook to $2.03 - $2.13. We're looking forward to our future as a pure-play medical devices company, and expect to be well-positioned to succeed operating in higher growth and higher margin end-markets."  

Third Quarter 2017 Operating Results

Net sales totaled $401 million, compared to $398 million a year ago. Performance was driven by 2 percent higher volumes compared to the prior year, which was partially offset by 1 percent lower selling prices.

Operating profit was $29 million in the third quarter compared to $21 million in 2016. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $48 million compared to $43 million in the prior year. Volume growth in Medical Devices and lower selling, general and administrative expense were partially offset by lower selling prices in Surgical and Infection Prevention (S&IP).

Adjusted operating profit for the third quarter excludes $8 million for divestiture-related charges, $2 million for acquisition-related charges, $4 million for litigation matters and $5 million for intangible amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter, excluding divestiture-related charges, acquisition-related charges and litigation expenses, was $59 million, compared to $53 million a year ago.

Third Quarter 2017 Business Segment Results

Medical Devices

Net sales of Medical Devices in the third quarter 2017 totaled $151 million, a 4 percent increase compared to the third quarter 2016. Volumes increased 4 percent. Performance was driven by continued volume growth in interventional pain and surgical pain, as well as respiratory health resulting from the conversion of a new GPO contract for oral care.

Operating profit for Medical Devices was $38 million, an 18 percent increase compared to the prior year. Performance was driven by higher sales volumes and the timing of spending related to research and development, and selling, general and administrative expense.

Surgical and Infection Prevention

S&IP net sales were $246 million, a 1 percent decrease compared to the third quarter of 2016. Volumes for the quarter were flat. Continued volume growth in exam gloves was offset by lower volume in other product categories. Lower selling prices of 2 percent were concentrated in exam gloves.

S&IP operating profit for the quarter was $18 million compared to $22 million in the third quarter of 2016. Performance was impacted by lower selling prices, which was partially offset by favorable currency exchange rates.

Year-To-Date Results

Medical Devices

In the first nine months of 2017, net sales of Medical Devices totaled $446 million, up 8 percent compared to the comparable period in 2016. Sales volumes increased 8 percent bolstered by Corpak. Organic sales volumes grew 3 percent, driven by higher volume across all product categories.

Year-to-date, operating profit for Medical Devices was $116 million, a 28 percent increase compared to the first nine months of 2016. Results were driven by higher sales volumes and manufacturing cost savings.

Surgical and Infection Prevention

In the first nine months of 2017, S&IP net sales totaled $740 million, a 3 percent decrease compared to the prior year. Sales volumes increased 1 percent driven by continued strong demand for exam gloves. Sales volume growth was offset by 3 percent lower selling prices primarily in exam gloves.

Year-to-date, S&IP operating profit was $51 million compared to $72 million in the first nine months of 2016. Performance was driven by higher sales volumes, favorable currency exchange rates, and manufacturing cost savings offset by lower selling prices and higher commodity costs.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Total debt at the end of the third quarter 2017 was $580 million, consisting of a secured term loan and unsecured notes, compared to total debt of $579 million at the end of 2016.

Cash from operations for the third quarter was $23 million compared to $50 million a year ago. Capital spending for the third quarter was $14 million, up from $8 million compared to 2016. The company's cash balance was $166 million at the end of the third quarter 2017, compared to $114 million at the end of 2016.

2017 Outlook and Key Planning Assumptions

The company is revising its previously announced adjusted full-year 2017 outlook.

  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to range between $2.03 and $2.13.

Based on current trends, the company is updating several of its key planning assumptions, as described below:

  • S&IP sales, excluding sales to Kimberly-Clark, are now expected to range from down 1 percent to down 3 percent.
  • S&IP net sales to Kimberly-Clark are now expected to range between $50 and $55 million.
  • Inflation in key inputs of $10 to $15 million.
  • The adjusted effective tax rate is anticipated to be between 31 and 33 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables include the following financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, and are therefore referred to as non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Adjusted net income
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share
  • Adjusted gross and operating profit
  • Adjusted effective tax rate
  • Adjusted EBITDA
  • Free cash flow

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items, as applicable, for the relevant time periods as indicated in the accompanying non-GAAP reconciliations to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

  • Divestiture costs relating to the sale of the S&IP business.
  • Transition costs relating to the separation from Kimberly-Clark, which include costs to establish Halyard Health's capabilities as a stand-alone entity. These costs are related primarily to rebranding and other supply chain transition costs. Going forward, these costs are not expected to be material; therefore, they will no longer be excluded from adjusted earnings.
  • Expenses associated with the amortization of intangible assets associated with prior business acquisitions.
  • The positive or negative effect of changes in currency exchange rates during the year.
  • Expenses associated with certain litigation matters.
  • Certain acquisition and integration charges related to the acquisition of CORPAK MedSystems, Inc.
  • Prior periods impact of tax regulatory changes.

The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental information to our GAAP financial measures. Management and the company's Board of Directors use net sales on a constant currency basis, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted operating profit, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow to (a) evaluate the company's historical and prospective financial performance and its performance relative to its competitors, (b) allocate resources and (c) measure the operational performance of the company's business units and their managers. Management also believes that the use of an adjusted effective tax rate provides improved insight into the tax effects of our ongoing business operations.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee of the company's Board of Directors will use certain of the non-GAAP financial measures when setting and assessing achievement of incentive compensation goals. These goals are based, in part, on the company's net sales on a constant currency basis, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, which will be determined by excluding certain items that are used in calculating these non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the attached financial tables.
