Quarter Details

Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics, and Portable Medical include the legacy Greatbatch Orthopedics and Portable Medical products in addition to Lake Region Medical Advanced Surgical offerings. Revenue for the fourth quarter was $101.9 million, a 10% increase over the prior-year quarter. This can primarily be attributed to the acquisition of Lake Region Medical. On a comparable organic constant currency basis, Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical revenue decreased 3% year over year. This was primarily driven by a reduction in demand and contractual price reductions given in exchange for longer-term volume commitments.

Cardio and Vascular includes the Vascular product line and the Lake Region Medical Cardio and Vascular sales. GAAP revenue for the fourth quarter was $142.4 million, a 34% increase over the prior-year quarter. This came on the back of the acquisition of Lake Region Medical. On a comparable organic constant currency basis, revenue in the reported quarter increased 7% over the prior year, chiefly driven by increased customer demand for electrophysiology and vascular access products.

Cardiac/Neuromodulation products include the legacy Greatbatch Cardiac/Neuromodulation segment and QiG in addition to the legacy Lake Region Medical Cardiac/Neuromodulation segment. GAAP revenue for the fourth quarter was $104.9 million, a 2% decrease over the prior-year quarter. On a comparable organic constant currency basis, Cardiac & Neuromodulation revenue decreased 5%. The year-over-year decrease was backed by higher demand in the fourth quarter of 2015.
