Integer Holdings (ITGR) Q1 Earnings Top Estimates, Margins Up
Read MoreHide Full Article
Integer Holdings Corporation (ITGR - Free Report) delivered adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.14 in the first quarter of 2024, which improved 31% year over year. The figure topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.8%.
The adjustments include expenses related to the amortization of intangible assets and restructuring and restructuring-related charges, among others.
GAAP EPS for the quarter was 59 cents, reflecting an improvement of 51.3% year over year.
Revenues in Detail
Integer Holdings registered revenues of $414.8 million in the first quarter, up 9.5% year over year. The figure surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.4%.
Organically, revenues increased 6.4%.
Robust Medical sales drove the company’s top line in the reported period.
Segmental Analysis
Integer Holdings operates through two segments — Medical Sales and Non-Medical Sales.
Medical Sales reported revenues of $407.2 million, up 11.8% year over year on a reported and 8.6% on an organic basis. This figure compares to our Medical Sales first-quarter projection of $398.5 million.
Medical Sales has three product lines — Advanced Surgical, Orthopedics & Portable Medical (AS&O); Cardio and Vascular (C&V); and Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation (CRM&N).
Integer Holdings’ AS&O revenues amounted to $29.1 million, up 4.3% year over year on a reported and 21.4% on an organic basis. Per management, this resulted from the growth of Advanced Surgical and Orthopedics, partially offset by a decline in Portable Medical from the execution of the planned multi-year exit announced in 2022. This compares to our first-quarter projection of $31.4 million for AS&O revenues.
Revenues at the C&V business totaled $221.8 million, up 16% from the prior-year quarter on a reported basis and up 9.3% organically. The solid year-over-year performance was driven by continued strong demand across all markets, new product ramps in electrophysiology and structural heart and the InNeuroCo and Pulse acquisitions. This compares to our first-quarter projection of $209 million.
Revenues at the CRM&N business were $156.3 million, up 7.7% year over year on a reported and 6.9% on an organic basis, with strong growth in emerging Neuromodulation customers with pre-market approval products and strong demand in CRM. This compares to our first-quarter projection of $158.1 million for the product line.
Revenues in the Non-Medical segment totaled $7.6 million, down 47.7% year over year both on a reported and organic basis. This was due to Electrochem sales returning to a normalized run rate after previously higher sales from the supply chain recovery. This figure compares to our segmental projection of $14.6 million for the first quarter.

Our Take
Integer Holdings exited the first quarter of 2024 with better-than-expected results. The strong year-over-year top-line and bottom-line performances were impressive. Robust performances by the Medical segment and strength in all the product lines of the Medical segment were encouraging. The expansion of both margins bodes well for the stock.
Integer Holdings continued to benefit from strong demand across all markets and the InNeuroCo and Pulse acquisitions. These also look promising for the stock.
However, the continued decline in Non-Medical revenues was discouraging.
