Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (Integra), a US based medical devices company, has reported total revenues of $654.6 million, for the full year of 2008, up 19%, compared with the total revenue of $104.1 million in the previous year-end. It reported GAAP net income of $34.9 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the full year of 2008, compared with the GAAP net income of $33.5 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, in the previous year-end.
Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $174.4 million, up $16.7 million, or 11%, over the fourth quarter of 2007.
“Despite a challenging economic environment, Integra posted strong results for the full year 2008,” said Integra’s president and chief executive officer, Stuart Essig. “We are pleased with the strength of our business under the circumstances, in particular our operating cash flow.”
The company reported GAAP net income of $24.8 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008, against GAAP net income of $5.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2007.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, the company reported a $10.0 million deferred income tax benefit related to the restructuring of a German subsidiary.
In addition to GAAP results, Integra reports adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per diluted share. A further discussion of these and other non-GAAP financial measures can be found below, and reconciliations of GAAP net income to adjusted net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share to adjusted earnings per diluted share for the quarters and full years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2008, computed to exclude the $10.0 million deferred income tax benefit and with the other adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $15.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2007, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $15.6 million, or $0.54 per diluted share.
Integra generated $27.1 million in operating cash flows in the fourth quarter and $72.6 million for the full year 2008, a 54% increase over full year 2007.
The company reported GAAP net income of $34.9 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the full year 2008, against GAAP net income of $33.5 million, or $1.13 per diluted share in 2007. Adjusted net income for the full year 2008, computed with the adjustments to GAAP reporting set forth in the attached reconciliation, was $60.0 million, or $2.09 per diluted share.

The company is reiterating its revenue and earnings per share guidance for the full year 2009. The company is anticipating revenues between $720 million and $740 million and expects earnings per share to be between $1.86 and $2.06 on a GAAP basis and between $2.20 and $2.40 on an adjusted basis. We expect revenues in the first quarter of 2009 to be 3-5% lower than the fourth quarter of 2008, and earnings to be disproportionately lower, and that the fourth quarter of 2009 will be the strongest quarter of the year. In accordance with our usual practice, expectations for financial performance do not include the impact of acquisitions or other strategic corporate transactions that have not yet closed.
Our 2009 GAAP earnings per share guidance includes the impact of the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (“FSP APB 14-1”), which we implemented on January 1, 2009. FSP APB 14-1 requires that we separately account for the liability and equity components of our convertible debt instruments, which may be settled in cash upon conversion, in a manner that reflects an applicable nonconvertible debt borrowing rate at the time that we issued such convertible debt instruments.
In the future the company may record, or expects to record, certain additional revenues, gains, expenses or charges (such as acquisition-related charges, facility consolidation, manufacturing and distribution transfer, and system integration charges, and non-cash interest expense related to the application of FSP APB 14-1) that it will exclude in the calculation of adjusted earnings per share for historical periods and in providing adjusted earnings per share guidance.
On a quarterly basis, the company expects to incur about $3.8 million, or $0.08 to $0.09 per share, of share-based compensation expense associated with FAS 123R in 2009.
