Read MoreHide Full Article
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (IART - Free Report) delivered adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 48 cents in the first quarter of 2020, down 26.2% from a year ago. The metric missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 20%.
The adjustment excludes the impact of certain non-recurring charges like structural optimization, acquisition and integration-related, COVID-19 and intangible asset amortization expenses, among others.
GAAP EPS for the first quarter was 11 cents, reflecting a plunge of 71.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Revenue Discussion
Total revenues in the reported quarter declined 1.5% year over year to $354.3 million, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.7%. Organically, revenues dropped 0.1% year over year.
Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
The revenue decline can be attributed to lower surgical procedures related to COVID-19 during the second half of March. The revenue figure, however, was encouraging till the first half of March.
Segmental Details
Coming to product categories, revenues from the Codman Specialty Surgical (CSS) segment fell 1.3% to $231.4 million (organic growth was 0.5%). However, the segment was boosted by strong international sales led by strength in Japan. Also, advanced purchases in several indirect markets like China, due to precautionary concerns over the pandemic, contributed to the top line.
Orthopedics and Tissue Technologies (OTT) revenues totaled $122.9 million in the first quarter, down 1.5% year over year. Organically, the segment fell 1.2%. The strong demand for AmnioExcel and SurgiMend, which were driven by an uptick in supplies resulting from capital investments initiated last year at the Boston and Memphis facilities, contributed to the top line.
Margin Trend
In the reported quarter, gross profit totaled $220.8 million. Gross margin contracted 183 basis points (bps) to 62.3% on a 4.3% fall in gross profit. Per the company, adjusted gross margin was 68.3%, contracting 10 bps.
Selling, general and administrative expenses contracted 5.1% to $165.9 million in the quarter under review, while research and development expenses rose 13.6% to $20.8 million.
Overall, adjusted operating profit was $34.1 million, down 9.3% year over year. Adjusted operating margin saw an 83-bp contraction year over year to 9.6%.
Financial Position
Integra exited the first quarter of 2020 with cash and cash equivalents of $357.7 million, up from $198.9 million at the end of 2019.
At the end of the first quarter, net cash flow from operating activities was $20.8 million compared with $29.5 million in the year-ago quarter.
2020 Outlook Withdrawn
Given the current economic situation due to the pandemic, Integra is unable to assess the actual magnitude of the impact on its financial results. Hence, the company has announced the withdrawal of its 2020 guidance issued on Feb 19, 2020 as was confirmed by it on Apr 7 while releasing its preliminary results for the first quarter.
Our Take
Integra exited the first quarter with lower-than-expected results. The company registered disappointing overall and segmental performances due to coronavirus-led business disruptions. The contraction in both margins as well as the company’s guidance withdrawal is discouraging.
However, we are upbeat about the CSS segment’s strong international sales as well as OTT segment’s solid product demand.
Zacks Rank and Stocks to Consider
Integra currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
Some better-ranked stocks in the broader medical space are Aphria Inc. , Biogen Inc. (BIIB - Free Report) and Eli Lilly and Company (LLY - Free Report) .
Aphria reported third-quarter fiscal 2020 adjusted EPS of 2 cents, comparing favorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 4 cents. Net revenues of $64.4 million outpaced the consensus estimate by 14.6%. The company carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present.

Biogen currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. It reported first-quarter 2020 adjusted EPS of $9.14, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 18.1%. Revenues of $3.53 billion outpaced the consensus mark by 3.2%.
Eli Lilly delivered first-quarter 2020 EPS of $1.75, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 12.9%. Revenues of $145.3 million surpassed the consensus estimate by 6.3%. The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1.
Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
