Hillrom Reports Strong Third Quarter Financial Results
CHICAGO, July 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hillrom (NYSE: HRC) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2020 and provided commentary on current business trends and outlook.
For the fiscal third quarter, Hillrom reported earnings of $1.40 per diluted share compared to $0.48 per diluted share in the prior-year period. On an adjusted basis, excluding special items, earnings of $1.95 per diluted share rose 59 percent from $1.23 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Third quarter financial results reflect strong revenue that benefited from COVID-related purchases, strategic investments to drive future growth, disciplined cost management and margin expansion. Adjustments to reported earnings are detailed in the reconciliation schedules provided.
"I'd like to acknowledge the dedication and contributions of the entire Hillrom team for their extraordinary efforts to deliver critical products and solutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their responsiveness was instrumental in driving record financial performance during the fiscal third quarter," said John Groetelaars, Hillrom president and CEO. "We remain confident in the compelling value propositions of our products, underlying fundamentals and sustainability of our diverse growth platforms as we continue to navigate the uncertain business and healthcare environment. Hillrom's vision of Advancing Connected Care(TM) has become more vital as we support the evolving needs of our customers."
Fiscal Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
In the fiscal third quarter, worldwide reported revenue of $768 million increased 6 percent on a reported basis, or 7 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting the diversity of the company's product portfolio and accelerated demand for critical care products in response to COVID-19. Hillrom's core revenue advanced 12 percent, including the contribution of the Breathe Technologies acquisition of approximately 400 basis points and benefit of more than $100 million for COVID-related purchases. Core revenue excludes foreign currency, divestitures, and non-strategic assets the company may exit, including the Surgical Solutions international OEM business.
By reporting segment:
-- Patient Support Systems revenue of $448 million increased 20 percent on
a reported basis, or 21 percent on a constant currency basis. Core
revenue increased 23 percent, reflecting a surge in global demand
related to COVID-19 for med-surg and ICU bed systems and rentals,
including the Centrella® Smart+Bed and Progressa® bed system. This
growth more than offset declines in patient handling equipment and Care
Communications' nurse call and mobile offerings, which were impacted by
limited hospital access for installations.
-- Front Line Care generated revenue of $252 million, an increase of 3
percent on a reported basis, or 4 percent on a constant currency basis.
Performance was driven by strong international growth, elevated global
demand for Welch Allyn® vital signs monitoring equipment and
thermometry, as well as fulfillment of one-time Life2000® non-invasive
ventilator orders of approximately $25 million. In the U.S., reduced
physician office visits led to a decline in certain product categories,
including physical assessment and diagnostic tools.
-- Surgical Solutions revenue of $68 million declined 37 percent on a
reported and constant currency basis reflecting project delays, limited
hospital access for installations and the surgical consumables
divestiture. Core revenue declined 21 percent.
Recent Highlights
The company recently achieved several key milestones aimed at advancing Hillrom's innovation, transforming the portfolio and delivering sustainable value to shareholders. Highlights include:
-- Achieving more than $440 million in new product revenue during the first
nine months of fiscal 2020. Contributing to this performance were
several innovative products including the company's portfolio of smart
beds, vital signs monitoring devices, respiratory and vision products,
as well as Integrated Table Motion.
-- Introducing five innovative products in the areas of remote monitoring,
respiratory care and surgical workflow, such as:
-- Extended Care Solution(TM), a connected, remote vital signs
monitoring device that allows clinicians to shift care closer to
home. This device combines the recently launched Welch Allyn® Spot
Vital Signs® 4400 device, a next-generation vital signs device for
ambulatory and emergency department settings, with a patient app and
clinician review portal to help extend patient care beyond the walls
of a healthcare facility and ensure patient data is securely
relayed.
-- Two new respiratory therapy devices: Volara(TM) System for
oscillation and lung expansion (OLE) therapy and Synclara(TM) cough
system. The Volara System delivers trusted OLE therapy, combining
continuous positive expiratory pressure, continuous high-frequency
oscillation and a nebulizer in one portable, lightweight device. It
is suitable for acute and chronic conditions including
post-operative pulmonary complications, that are treated both in
acute care and home settings. The Synclara cough system uses
mechanical insufflation-exsufflation technology to clear secretions
from the upper airways. Synclara has been designed to improve the
patient experience in the hospital or at home given its portability
and ease-of-use, with programmability and sensing technology to
deliver a more individualized treatment.
-- PST 500, a precision surgical table that provides a wide range of
positions across various surgical applications. The PST 500 includes
a modular design, ergonomic handling, 360-degree imaging and
light-messaging system to streamline workflow; and the
next-generation Yellofins Apex(TM) stirrups, lithotomy positioning
devices that offer enhanced safety and greater ease-of-use.
-- Entering a partnership with Aiva, Inc., to facilitate hands-free
voice-enabled communication on the Voalte® Mobile solution. Aiva
technology works with Amazon Alexa® to facilitate touch-free
communication, allowing a caregiver to enter a room in full PPE and
communicate with other caregivers without touching their mobile devices.
With this new capability, Hillrom's Voalte system is the only mobile
clinical communication platform with a comprehensive solution that
includes hands-free caregiver-to-caregiver communication - unique to
Hillrom - as well as nurse call, medical device integration, alert and
alarm management and waveform digitization.
-- Completing two acquisitions, Connecta Soft, S.A. de C.V. and Videomed
S.r.l, to enhance Hillrom's digital footprint and advance the company's
vision of Advancing Connected Care. Connecta brings custom connectivity
solutions, tailored to emerging markets, that capture vital signs data
and provide patient monitoring visualization in acute care environments.
The acquisition of Videomed expands the Surgical Solutions portfolio by
adding operating room integration and real-time video and data
management capability to improve clinical workflows, standardize set-up,
reduce time in the OR, and enhance safety. Videomed's Truelink 4 system
has been deployed in Europe, China, Japan and other international
markets. The aggregate financial impact of these acquisitions is
immaterial.
-- Delivering significant value to shareholders by returning $114 million
through dividends and share repurchases during the first nine months of
fiscal 2020. The company's strong financial position is supported by a
healthy balance sheet, including $332 million in cash and cash
equivalents, and revolving credit facilities totaling $1.2 billion that
can used to address additional capital needs as necessary.
Current Business Trends and Outlook
As expected, Hillrom's diverse portfolio experienced tailwinds with peak demand across a portion of its portfolio during the fiscal third quarter, which now appears to be normalizing. In addition, the company is seeing signs of recovery across select areas of the portfolio that have been negatively impacted by project delays, hospital access and reduced physician office visits, including various product categories in the Front Line Care and Care Communications businesses. While the company is not reinstating financial guidance due to the ongoing uncertainty, scope and evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, given strong financial performance through the fiscal third quarter and effective management of the company during this challenging period, Hillrom now projects fiscal 2020 adjusted earnings of at least $5.40 per diluted share.
Hillrom will continue to actively monitor and assess business operations and will provide additional information as appropriate. The company remains confident in the long-term underlying strength of its business portfolio, its strategic direction and future growth prospects.
Discussion of Adjusted Financial Measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), Hillrom routinely provides gross margin, operating margin, income before taxes, income tax expense, and earnings per diluted share results on an adjusted basis because the company's management believes these measures contribute to an understanding of our financial performance, provide additional analytical tools to understand our results from core operations and reveal underlying operating trends. These measures exclude strategic developments, acquisition and integration costs and related fair value adjustments, gains and losses associated with disposals of businesses or significant product lines, regulatory costs related to updating existing product registrations to comply with the European Medical Device Regulations, special charges, the transitional impacts of U.S. tax reform legislation, changes in tax accounting methods, other tax law changes and expenses associated with these tax items, the impacts of significant litigation matters, certain impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other unusual events. The company also excludes expenses associated with the amortization of purchased intangible assets. These adjustments are made to allow investors to evaluate and understand operating trends excluding their impact on operating income and earnings per diluted share.
Management uses these measures internally for planning, forecasting and evaluating the performance of the business. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of GAAP measures to adjusted measures appear in the financial tables of this release.
The company also routinely provides earnings per diluted share guidance on an adjusted basis. This excludes the impact of intangible asset amortization associated with prior business acquisitions, which we expect to be $1.23-$1.28 per diluted share for the fiscal year 2020. Management also does not include adjusted items such as strategic developments, acquisition and integration costs, special charges, and other special items or unusual items in our guidance because such items are evaluated on an ongoing basis, can be highly variable and cannot be reasonably predicted. As such, prospective quantification of these items is not feasible, and a full reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings per diluted share guidance to GAAP earnings per diluted share has not been provided. However, as a result of acquisitions, our ongoing portfolio and business optimization initiatives, and any change to the transitional impacts from U.S. tax reform legislation, we do expect adjusted items we have not predicted to potentially be significant to our GAAP measures including gross margin, operating margin, income tax expense and earnings per diluted share.
The company also presents certain results on a constant currency basis, which compares results between periods as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained consistent period-over-period. Management monitors sales performance on an adjusted basis that eliminates the positive or negative effects that result from translating international sales into U.S. dollars. Management calculates constant currency by applying the foreign currency exchange rate for the prior period to the local currency results for the current period. Management believes that evaluating growth in net revenue on a constant currency basis provides an additional and meaningful assessment to both management and investors.
