Little Falls, New Jersey- (June 4, 2020) - Cantel Medical Corp. (NYSE: CMD) today announced financial results for its third quarter ended April 30, 2020.
Third quarter 2020 net sales were $236.9M, up 3.7% compared to the prior year. Excluding the impact from foreign currency, net sales increased by 4.2%, primarily driven by the impact from acquisitions of 15.5% offset by an organic decline of 11.3%. The decline in organic sales was a result of the reduction of elective procedures driven by the worldwide COVID pandemic, which largely impacted the last five weeks of the Company’s fiscal quarter. The pandemic primarily impacted the Company’s Medical and Dental segments during this period.
Third quarter 2020 GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 85.0% to $0.37, compared to GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.20 in the prior year period. While GAAP earnings per diluted share was negatively impacted by COVID and higher amortization in the period, the impacts were offset by a favorable fair value adjustment to a Hu-Friedy earnout liability.
Third quarter 2020 non-GAAP earnings per diluted share decreased 70.9% to $0.16, compared to non-GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.55 in the prior year period. The decrease in earnings per share was driven by the impact from COVID, which significantly impacted the Company’s Medical and Dental segment revenue for the last five weeks of the quarter.
George Fotiades, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The impact from the COVID pandemic has been historic for the industry, our customers, patients and our Company. I am proud of how our Company has operated through these challenges and expect that we will be in a strong position to serve our customers during the recovery. Our mission in Infection Prevention has never been more critical, as we continue to support those on the front lines of this pandemic by supplying much needed PPE, disinfectant chemistry, and other infection prevention solutions to those who need it most.”
With the acquisition of Hu-Friedy and the impact from COVID, the Company’s balance sheet has changed from historical trends. The third quarter ended with cash of $115.8M and gross debt of $976.9M, while generating EBITDAS of $43.5M and adjusted EBITDAS of $31.7M in the quarter, down 23.3%.
In the weeks following the end of its third quarter, the Company has made significant progress in solidifying its financial position. On May 11th, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to amend its credit facilities with its lender group providing ample flexibility to manage the expected impacts of the current environment created by the COVID pandemic. Following the amendment, the Company announced the sale of $168M in aggregate value of its private offering of Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. This offering provides additional liquidity that helps enable the Company to continue to weather the pandemic, while remaining strongly positioned for the expected post-COVID recovery.
Third quarter financial results and key updates:
•Strong Life Sciences revenue performance with organic growth of +7.3% for the quarter driven by COVID-related demand for portable water systems
•Dental revenue increased 75.4%, driven by the acquisition of Hu-Friedy, while organic revenue decreased 3.1% due to deferred elective procedures which was slightly offset by strong performance in face masks, face shields, surface disinfectants and wipes
•Medical revenue decreased 21.7% on an organic basis, with most endoscopy procedures being deferred or delayed during the last five weeks of the quarter
•Management instituted key cost and cash saving measures which include the following:
◦Deployed workforce furloughs across manufacturing sites experiencing declines in demand, along with temporary furloughs and decreases in pay for administrative personnel
◦Deferred all non-essential capital expenditures
◦Cancelled all non-essential travel
◦Reduced inventory in areas where demand has decreased, including aggressive material management to limit purchasing
◦Suspended any dividend through at least October 31, 2021
◦Suspended and reduced executive salaries and Board of Directors compensation
•Operating Cash increased 42.4% sequentially to $49.3M, with an ending cash balance of $115.8M
The Company further outlined that the last five weeks of disruption due to COVID had a significant impact on their financial results, specifically in the Medical and Dental segments. For illustrative purposes, using the Company’s second quarter results as a comparable, non-COVID impacted quarter, the Medical segment declined ~60% while the Dental segment declined ~55% (down ~70% excluding PPE) in the last five weeks of the quarter. Preliminary, unaudited May revenue results showed signs of improvement, with Medical expected to recover to down ~40% and Dental down ~45% compared to the same second quarter baseline. The Company expects fourth quarter revenue to be below the third quarter, with the expectation that daily sales rates will continue to improve through the quarter.
Fotiades added, “While the deferral of elective procedures over the last five weeks of our third quarter have resulted in lower performance, we are encouraged that preliminary sales results for May are showing signs of recovery. We continue to invest in critical aspects of Cantel 2.0. and have been making progress on our previously announced initiatives, which I look forward to discussing more over the next few months.”

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) non-GAAP net income, (ii) non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (“EPS”), (iii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, loss on disposal of fixed assets, and stock-based compensation expense (“EBITDAS”), (iv) adjusted EBITDAS, (v) net debt and (vi) organic sales. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, stockholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be, and should not be, considered separately from, or as an alternative to, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, we exclude certain items that affect comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing, may not be indicative of our past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends. The following are examples of the types of adjustments that are excluded: (i) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related items, (iii) business optimization and restructuring-related charges, (iv) certain significant and discrete tax matters and (v) other significant items management deems irregular or non-operating in nature.
Amortization expense of purchased intangible assets is a non-cash expense related to intangibles that were primarily the result of business acquisitions. Our history of acquiring businesses has resulted in significant increases in amortization of intangible assets that reduce our net income. The removal of amortization from our overall operating performance helps in assessing our cash generated from operations including our return on invested capital, which we believe is an important analysis for measuring our ability to generate cash and invest in our continued growth.
Acquisition-related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with our acquisition program and (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustments of acquired inventory and deferred revenue. The adjustments of contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities are periodic adjustments to record such amounts at fair value at each balance sheet date. Given the subjective nature of the assumptions used in the determination of fair value calculations, fair value adjustments may potentially cause significant earnings volatility that are not representative of our operating results. Similarly, due diligence, integration, legal and other acquisition costs associated with our acquisition program, including accounting charges relating to recording acquired inventory and deferred revenue at fair market value, can be significant and also adversely impact our effective tax rate as certain costs are often not tax-deductible. Since these acquisition-related items are irregular and often mask underlying operating performance, we exclude these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance.
Restructuring-related and business optimization items consist of severance-related costs associated with work force reductions and other restructuring-related activities. Such costs include (i) salary continuation, (ii) bonus payments, (iii) outplacement services, (iv) medical-related premium costs and (v) accelerated stock-compensation costs. Since these restructuring-related and business optimization items often mask underlying operating performance, we exclude these amounts for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance.
Excess tax benefits and expenses resulting from stock compensation are recorded as an adjustment to income tax expense. The magnitude of the impact of excess tax benefits generated in the future, which may be favorable or unfavorable, are dependent upon our future grants of equity awards, our future share price on the date awards vest in relation to the fair value of awards on grant date and the exercise behavior of our stock award holders. Since these tax effects are largely unrelated to our results and unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.
In April 2020, we recorded a discrete tax benefit related to a provision under the recent federal CARES Act, which allowed us to carryback taxable losses up to five years. We also recorded a discrete tax benefit due to the reversal of a valuation allowance related to a previous acquisition. As these items were unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS for fiscal 2020 to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.
In January 2020, we completed the disposition of a dental product line. This resulted in a pre-tax loss of $170 through general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2020. Since this loss was irregular, we made an adjustment to our net income and diluted EPS to exclude this loss to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2019, we recorded specific discrete tax items associated with our international operations that were unrelated to fiscal 2019. As these items were unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on net income and diluted EPS for fiscal 2019 to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.
In November 2018, we completed the disposition of our high purity water business in Canada. This resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1,313 through other income, net for the nine months ended April 30, 2019. Since this gain was irregular, we made an adjustment to our net income and diluted EPS to exclude this gain to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.
During the nine months ended April 30, 2019, we recorded an adjustment to a minor litigation matter in our consolidated financial statements. Since these costs are irregular and mask our underlying operating performance, we made an adjustment to our net income and diluted EPS for fiscal 2019 to exclude such costs to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.
Three Months Ended April 30, 2020
We made adjustments to net income and diluted EPS to exclude (i) amortization expense of purchased intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related items, which includes a gain from the change in fair value of contingent consideration associated with the Hu-Friedy acquisition, (iii) business optimization and restructuring-related charges and (iv) tax matters to arrive at non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.
Three Months Ended April 30, 2019
We made adjustments to net income and diluted EPS to exclude (i) amortization expense of purchased intangible assets, (ii) acquisition-related items, (iii) other business optimization and restructuring-related charges, primarily related to organizational leadership changes (iv) an adjustment to the excess tax effects applicable to stock compensation and (v) tax matters to arrive at non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.
The reconciliations of net income and diluted EPS to non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS were calculated as follows:

Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAS and Adjusted EBITDAS
We believe EBITDAS is an important valuation measurement for management and investors given the increasing effect that non-cash charges, such as stock-based compensation, amortization related to acquisitions and depreciation of capital equipment have on net income. In particular, acquisitions have historically resulted in significant increases in amortization of purchased intangible assets that reduce net income. Additionally, we regard EBITDAS as a useful measure of operating performance and cash flow before the effect of interest expense and is a complement to operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. We define adjusted EBITDAS as EBITDAS excluding the same non-GAAP adjustments to net income discussed above. We use adjusted EBITDAS when evaluating operating performance because we believe the exclusion of such adjustments, of which a significant portion are non-cash items, is necessary to provide the most accurate measure of on-going core operating results and to evaluate comparative results period over period.

Net Debt
We define net debt as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. Each of the components of net debt appears on our consolidated balance sheets. We believe that the presentation of net debt provides useful information to investors because we review net debt as part of our management of our overall liquidity, financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage.

Reconciliation of Net Sales Growth to Organic Sales Growth
We define organic sales as net sales less (i) the impact of foreign currency translation, (ii) net sales related to acquired businesses during the first twelve months of ownership and (iii) dispositions during the periods being compared. We believe that reporting organic sales provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating easier comparisons of our revenue performance with prior periods. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from organic sales because foreign currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and dispositions because the nature, size, and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and can obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of financial performance difficult.
For the three months ended April 30, 2020, the reconciliation of net sales growth to organic sales growth for total net sales and net sales of our reportable segments were calculated as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
