MINNEAPOLIS, Feb 23, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — –International revenue of $1.615 billion grew 11% on a constant currency basis; 22% as reported

–Free cash flow exceeds $1.3 billion; GAAP cash flow from operations of $1.488 billion

Medtronic, Inc. (MDT 43.65, -0.01, -0.02%) today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended January 29, 2010.

The company reported third quarter revenue of $3.851 billion, a 10 percent increase over third quarter revenue reported a year ago, or a 6 percent increase after adjusting for a favorable $144 million foreign exchange impact. Revenue outside the United States grew to $1.615 billion, an increase of 22 percent as reported and 11 percent on a constant currency basis over the same period last year, representing 42 percent of total revenue this quarter.

Net earnings in the third quarter were $831 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, an increase of 19 percent and 21 percent, respectively. As detailed in the attached table, after adjusting for the impact of adopting a new accounting standard for non-cash interest expense on convertible debt effective the beginning of fiscal year 2010 and in-process research and development charges in the year ago period, third quarter net earnings and diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis were $857 million and $0.77, respectively, an increase of 8 percent over the same period in the prior year.

“Our third quarter results reflect a building track record of delivering consistent execution on our financial commitments,” said Bill Hawkins, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. “In addition to the solid revenue growth and strong cash flows driven by our globally diversified product portfolio, we also continued to deliver meaningful operating leverage as demonstrated by a 20 percent increase in operating income.”

Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management

Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management (CRDM) revenue of $1.243 billion grew 6 percent as reported and 2 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $54 million foreign exchange impact. Worldwide implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) revenue was $756 million. Outside the United States, CRDM revenue grew 2 percent on a constant currency basis, driven by the growing success of the AF Solutions business as well as solid growth in ICD sales.

CardioVascular

CardioVascular revenue of $722 million grew 28 percent as reported and 21 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $39 million foreign exchange impact. Coronary, Structural Heart, and Endovascular revenue grew 23 percent, 20 percent, and 15 percent, respectively, all on a constant currency basis. Adoption of the Endeavor(R) stent in Japan and strong international growth across the entire CardioVascular segment contributed to the strong quarterly performance.

Spinal

Spinal revenue of $842 million grew 1 percent as reported and declined 1 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $17 million foreign exchange impact. Core Spinal products, which include Kyphon, declined 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Biologics revenue grew 2 percent on a constant currency basis. Outside the United States, Core Spinal products grew 4 percent on a constant currency basis and Biologics grew 9 percent on a constant currency basis.

Neuromodulation

Neuromodulation revenue of $394 million grew 11 percent as reported and 8 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $13 million foreign exchange impact. Growth in Neuromodulation continues to be driven by strong sales of Activa PC and RC Deep Brain Stimulation systems for movement disorders, and InterStim Therapy for overactive bladder and urinary retention, as well as bowel control outside the United States.

Diabetes

Diabetes revenue of $311 million grew 12 percent as reported and 8 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $11 million foreign exchange impact. Growth in Diabetes was attributed to worldwide sales of continuous glucose monitoring systems as well as the recent launch of the Paradigm Veo insulin pump in Asia and Europe.

Surgical Technologies

Surgical Technologies revenue of $239 million grew 15 percent as reported and 12 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $7 million foreign exchange impact. Sales of monitoring and power equipment in the Ear, Nose and Throat division, and strong U.S. sales of Navigation equipment contributed to solid growth.

Physio-Control

Physio-Control revenue of $100 million grew 11 percent as reported and 8 percent on a constant currency basis after adjusting for a favorable $3 million foreign exchange impact. Strong international sales and sales of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator, launched earlier in the fiscal year, contributed to revenue growth in the quarter. The company was pleased to receive notice last week from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to resume unrestricted global shipments.

Guidance

The company today updated diluted earnings per share guidance for fiscal year 2010. The company raised the lower end of fiscal year 2010 EPS guidance to a range of $3.20 to $3.22, which compares to the previous guidance of $3.17 to $3.22. This updated guidance represents fiscal year 2010 EPS growth of 12 percent to 13 percent after adjusting for the dilution from the AF and transcatheter valve acquisitions.

As in the past, all earnings per share ranges exclude any unusual charges or gains that might occur during the fiscal year and the impact of the non-cash charge to interest expense due to the change in accounting rules governing convertible debt and include $0.06 to $0.07 of acquisition dilution for the full fiscal year.

“Our number one position in almost all of our businesses clearly demonstrates the strength of our technology and customer-focused leadership,” said Hawkins. “We remain focused on providing innovative, cost-effective solutions to the growing global challenge of chronic disease affecting more people worldwide than ever before.”

(1) Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand Medtronic’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of foreign currency translation on revenue. In addition, Medtronic management uses results of operations before currency translation to evaluate the operational performance of the Company and as a basis for strategic planning. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(a) The adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) new authoritative guidance on accounting for convertible debt has resulted in an after-tax impact to net earnings of $26 million ($0.02 per share) and $25 million ($0.03 per share) for the three months ended January 29, 2010 and January 23, 2009, respectively. The pre-tax impact to interest expense, net was $41 million and $39 million for the three months ended January 29, 2010 and January 23, 2009, respectively. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of the adoption of this new authoritative guidance that is determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP), Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding the impact of the adoption of this new guidance. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates the impact of the adoption of this new guidance when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(b) The $72 million ($ 0.06 per share) after-tax IPR&D charge is related to technology acquired through the purchase of CryoCath Technologies Inc. that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative use. In addition to disclosing IPR&D charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these IPR&D charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations.

Note: The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded and therefore the first quarter, second quarter and third quarter data may not sum to the fiscal year to date totals.

(1) The data in this schedule has been intentionally rounded to the nearest $0.01 and therefore may not sum.

(a) The $50 million ($0.04 per share) after-tax ($69 million pre-tax) restructuring charge is the net impact of a $52 million after-tax charge related to restructuring initiatives that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009, offset by a $2 million after-tax net reversal of excess reserves related to the global realignment initiative that began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. The fiscal year 2009 initiatives are designed to streamline operations and further align resources around the Company’s higher growth opportunities. This initiative impacts most businesses and certain corporate functions. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company recognized expense associated with compensation and early retirement benefits provided to employees which could not be accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. In addition, the Company recorded $4 million of the after-tax expense ($7 million pre-tax) within cost of products sold related to inventory write-offs and production-related asset impairments associated with these restructuring activities. The $2 million after-tax net reversal is primarily a result of a $5 million after-tax reversal due to favorable severance negotiations with certain employee populations outside the U.S. as well as a higher than expected percentage of employees identified for elimination finding positions elsewhere within the Company partially offset by a $3 million after-tax charge the Company recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 related to the further write-down of a non-inventory related asset resulting from the continued decline in the international real estate market. There were no additional restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal year 2010. In addition to disclosing restructuring charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these restructuring charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these restructuring charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(b) The $316 million ($0.28 per share) after-tax ($374 million pre-tax) certain litigation charges, net relate to settlements with Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) and with W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore). The Abbott settlement accounted for $360 million after-tax ($444 million pre-tax) charges and the Gore settlement accounted for $44 million after-tax ($70 million pre-tax) gain of certain litigation charges, net. The Abbott settlement related to the resolution of all outstanding intellectual property litigation. The terms of the Abbott agreement stipulate that neither party will sue each other in the field of coronary stent and stent delivery systems for a period of at least 10 years, subject to certain conditions. Both parties also agreed to a cross-license of the disputed patents within the defined field. The $444 million pre-tax settlement amount includes a $400 million payment to Abbott and a $42 million success payment made to evYsio Medical Devices, LLC (evYsio). In addition, a $2 million payment was made to evYsio in order to expand the definition of the license field from evYsio. The Gore settlement related to the resolution of outstanding patent litigation related to selected patents in Medtronic’s Jervis and Wiktor patent families. The terms of the agreement stipulate that neither party will sue each other in the defined field of use, subject to certain conditions. In addition and subject to certain conditions, Medtronic granted Gore a worldwide, irrevocable, non-exclusive license in the defined field of use. Gore will also pay Medtronic a quarterly license payment through the fiscal quarter ending October 2018. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these certain litigation charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these certain litigation charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies

(c) The adoption of new FASB authoritative guidance for convertible debt accounting has resulted in an after-tax impact to net earnings of $80 million ($0.07 per share) and $74 million ($0.07 per share) for the nine months ended January 29, 2010 and January 23, 2009, respectively. The pre-tax impact to interest expense, net was $125 million and $114 million for the nine months ended January 29, 2010 and January 23, 2009, respectively. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of the adoption of this new guidance that is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding the impact of the adoption of this new guidance. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates the impact of adoption of this new guidance when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(d) The $66 million ($0.06 per share) after-tax restructuring charge is related to a global realignment initiative that the Company began in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008. This initiative focuses on shifting resources to those areas where the Company has the greatest opportunities for growth and streamlining operations to drive operating leverage. The global realignment initiative impacts most businesses and certain corporate functions. The majority of the expense recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 is related to the execution of our global realignment initiative outside the United States. This includes the realignment of personnel throughout Europe and the Emerging Markets and the closure of an existing facility in the Netherlands that will be integrated into the U.S. operations. The remainder of the expense is associated with compensation provided to employees identified in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 whose employment terminated with the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. These incremental costs were not accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 because these benefits had not yet been communicated to the impacted employees. As of October 30, 2009, the global realignment initiative was substantially complete. In addition to disclosing restructuring charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these restructuring charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates these restructuring charges when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(e) The $176 million ($0.16 per share) after-tax certain litigation charge is related to a $229 million ($152 million after-tax) charge related to the final judgment in litigation with the Cordis Corporation (a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson) that originated in October 1997 and a $37 million ($24 million after-tax) charge related to the settlement of litigation with Fastenetix LLC that originated in May 2006. The charge related to litigation with the Cordis Corporation was in addition to a $243 million reserve recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. In addition to disclosing certain litigation charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these certain litigation charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations.

(f) The $83 million ($0.07 per share) after-tax IPR&D charge represents the cumulative impact of pre-tax charges of $72 million ($72 million after tax) related to a technology acquired through the purchase of CryoCath Technologies, Inc. that had not yet reached technological feasibility and had no future alternative use and $18 million ($11 million after tax) related to the purchase of certain intellectual property for use in the Spine business that was expensed as IPR&D since technological feasibility of the underlying product had not yet been reached and such technology has no future alternative use. In addition to disclosing IPR&D charges that are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding these IPR&D charges. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations.

In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as similar measures presented by other companies.

(g) The $0.01 per share adjustment is the result of adopting new FASB issued authoritative guidance in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 for determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. This new guidance provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method. The Company is required to retrospectively adjust all prior-period EPS data. The Company included 4.1 million of unvested restricted shares in the basic weighted average outstanding calculation for the nine months ended January 23, 2009, which resulted in a $0.01 per share increase to non-GAAP diluted EPS for nine months ended January 23, 2009. In addition to disclosing the financial statement impact of the adoption of this new guidance that is determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Medtronic management believes that in order to properly understand its short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may find it useful to consider the impact of excluding the impact of the adoption of this new guidance. Management believes that the resulting non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the underlying business trends and performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and is useful for period over period comparisons of such operations. Medtronic management eliminates the impact of adoption of this new guidance when evaluating the operating performance of the Company. Investors should consider this non-GAAP measure in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
