Second Quarter 2018 Operating Results from Continuing Operations

Medical Device net sales totaled $161 million, a 7 percent increase compared to the second quarter last year, on a constant currency basis.

Performance was driven by increased demand in interventional pain, respiratory health and digestive health as volumes increased 5 percent, and improved product mix and higher selling prices benefited sales by 2 percent. Also, favorable currency exchange rates aided sales by 1 percent.

Operating income totaled $9 million compared to a loss of $12 million in 2017. Volume growth and lower costs previously allocated to S&IP, offset by increased investment for growth, helped drive performance. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $16 million, an increase from $0 million in 2017.

As a result of the previously announced divestiture, the S&IP segment operating results are reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Treating S&IP as discontinued operations results in significant shared overhead costs previously allocated to the S&IP business that are now included in continuing operations. Included in second quarter continuing operations are costs previously allocated to S&IP of $9 million in 2018 and $28 million, in 2017.

Adjusted operating profit for the second quarter excludes $4 million of restructuring and IT charges, $1 million for litigation matters, $5 million of intangible amortization expense and $3 million of income from post divestiture transition service agreements (TSAs).

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter, excluding a $90 million gain on the divestiture of the S&IP business and$3 million in proceeds from TSAs, partially offset by $4 million in restructuring and IT charges, $5 million of divestiture-related charges and $1 million of litigation expenses, totaled $36 million compared to $51 million in the prior year.

Year-to-Date 2018 Operating Results From Continuing Operations

In the first six months of 2018, Medical Device net sales totaled $317 million, a 7 percent increase compared to the comparable period in 2017, on a constant currency basis.

Performance was driven by increased demand in interventional pain, respiratory health and digestive health as volumes increased 5 percent and improved product mix and higher selling prices benefited sales by 1 percent. Also, favorable currency exchange rates aided sales by 1 percent.

Year-to-date, operating profit totaled $2 million compared to a loss of $30 million in the first half of 2017. Volume growth and lower costs previously allocated to S&IP offset by increased investment for growth, helped drive performance. On an adjusted basis, operating profit was $18 million compared to a loss of $2 million in 2017.

Included in year-to-date continuing operations are costs previously allocated to S&IP of $37 million in 2018 and $57 million in 2017.

Adjusted operating profit for the first six months of 2018 excludes $7 million of restructuring and IT charges, $3 million for litigation matters, $9 million of intangible amortization expense and offset by $3 million of income from TSAs.

Year-to-date, adjusted EBITDA, excluding a $90 million gain from the divestiture of the S&IP business and $3 million of proceeds from TSAs, partially offset by $7 million of restructuring and IT charges, $17 million of divestiture-related charges, and $3 million of litigation expenses, was $95 million compared to $104 million in the prior year.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Total debt at the end of the second quarter was $247 million, consisting of unsecured notes, compared to $581 million at the end of 2017. The decrease in total debt was due to the $339 million repayment of the secured term loan.

Cash from operations less capital expenditures, or free cash flow, for the quarter was an outflow of $108 million compared to an inflow of $13 million a year ago. Excluding the net settlement of liabilities associated with the divestiture of the S&IP business, free cash flow for the quarter was an outflow of $10 million. The company's cash balance was $531 million at the end of the quarter, compared to $220 million at the end of 2017.

Discontinued Operations

Second quarter net sales from discontinued operations were $89 million, compared to $250 million a year ago. Adjusted net income from discontinued operations for the quarter totaled $13 million compared to $28 million in the prior year.

Year-to-date, net sales from discontinued operations were $353 million, compared to $500 million, a year ago. Adjusted net loss from discontinued operations for the first six months of 2018 totaled $54 million, compared to $56 million of net income, in the prior year.

2018 Key Planning Assumptions

The company raised its full-year adjusted diluted earnings per share expectations from a range of $1.65 to $1.85, to $1.75 to $1.90, which includes earnings from both continuing and discontinued operations.

Additionally, based on current trends, the company is updating two of its planning assumptions, as described below:

    --  Medical Device sales, on a constant currency basis and excluding Game
        Ready, are expected to increase between 5 and 7 percent.
    --  The adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be between 23 and 25
        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:

    --  Expenses associated with the divestiture of the S&IP business and the
        corporate restructuring and IT transformation costs.
    --  The gain on sale and associated expenses related to the divestiture of
        the S&IP business.
    --  Prior year transition costs relating to the separation from
        Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which included costs to establish Avanos
        Medical's capabilities as a stand-alone entity. These costs are related
        primarily to rebranding and other supply chain transition costs.
    --  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 prior year acquisition and integration charges related to the
        acquisition of CORPAK MedSystems, Inc.
    --  Certain acquisition and integration charges related to Game Ready in the
        current year.
    --  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 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.
