TELEFLEX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS AND REAFFIRMS 2015 GUIDANCE
First Quarter Revenues of $429.4 million, down 2.1% over prior year period; up 5.2% on Constant Currency Basis
First Quarter GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.83, up 7.8% over the prior year period
First Quarter Adjusted Diluted EPS of $1.30, up 6.6% over the prior year period
2015 Constant Currency Revenue and Adjusted Diluted EPS Guidance Reaffirmed
Wayne, PA -- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2015.
First quarter net revenues were $429.4 million, a decrease of 2.1% over the first quarter 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter net revenues increased 5.2% over the year ago quarter.
First quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 7.8% to $0.83, as compared to $0.77 in the prior year period. First quarter adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 6.6% to $1.30, compared to $1.22 in the prior year period.
“2015 is off to a good start from an operating perspective and slightly ahead of our initial expectations,” said Benson Smith, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We generated solid, mid-single digit constant currency revenue growth, and continued to expand gross and operating margins. In addition, during the first quarter, the Company achieved a significant milestone in our strategy of advancing minimally invasive surgery with the first laparoscopic procedure using Teleflex’s Percuvance™ Percutaneous Surgical System in a large U.S. hospital system. Based on our first quarter results, Teleflex remains on target to achieve our previously provided constant currency revenue growth and adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for 2015.”
FIRST QUARTER NET REVENUE BY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHY
Vascular North America first quarter net revenues were $67.9 million, an increase of 8.7% compared to the first quarter 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter net revenues increased 9.2% compared to the year ago quarter. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to higher sales volume of existing products.
Surgical North America first quarter net revenues were $38.1 million, an increase of 8.0% compared to the first quarter 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter net revenues increased 9.4% compared to the year ago quarter. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to price increases, new product sales, MiniLap product sales and higher sales volume of existing products.
Anesthesia/Respiratory North America first quarter net revenues were $55.4 million, an increase of 1.2% compared to the first quarter 2014. Excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, first quarter net revenues increased 1.6% compared to the year ago quarter. The increase in constant currency revenue was largely due to new product sales.
EMEA first quarter net revenues were $129.3 million, a decrease of 14.0% compared to the first quarter 2014.

2015 OUTLOOK
The Company reaffirmed its full year 2015 financial estimates as follows:
The Company continues to estimate that constant currency revenue growth will be between 4% and 6%. On a GAAP basis, revenues are expected to be flat to down 2% versus the prior year due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company also continues to estimate that adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations will be between $6.10 and $6.35, representing an increase of 6.3% to 10.6% over the prior year. Previously, the Company expected foreign currency fluctuations to negatively impact adjusted earnings per share in 2015 by approximately 14%. Our current expectation reflects that foreign currency fluctuations will negatively impact adjusted earnings per share in 2015 by approximately 15%. The Company has updated its full year 2015 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations range from $4.22 to $4.37 to a range of $4.13 to $4.28.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
Constant currency revenue growth excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period.
Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.
Segment results and commentary exclude the impact of discontinued operations.
NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include:
Adjusted diluted earnings per share. This measure excludes, depending on the period presented (i) the effect of charges associated with our restructuring programs; (ii) losses and other charges, including acquisition and integration costs, charges related to facility consolidations, and charges related to contingent consideration liabilities, net of specified reversals, including a reversal of liabilities related to certain contingent consideration arrangements during the quarter ended March 31, 2014; (iii) amortization of the debt discount on the Company’s convertible notes; (iv) intangible amortization expense; and (v) tax benefits resulting from the resolution of, or expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to, prior years’ tax matters. In addition, the calculation of diluted shares within adjusted earnings per share gives effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the Company’s convertible note hedge agreements, which reduce the potential economic dilution that otherwise would occur upon conversion of the Company’s senior subordinated convertible notes (under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the convertible note hedge agreements is not reflected in diluted shares).
Constant currency revenue growth. This measure excludes the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period.
Management believes these measures are useful to investors because they eliminate items that do not reflect Teleflex’s day-to-day operations. In addition, management believes that the calculation of non-GAAP diluted shares is useful to investors because it provides insight into the offsetting economic effect of the convertible note hedge against conversions of the convertible notes. Management uses these financial measures for internal managerial purposes, when publicly providing guidance on possible future results, and to assist in our evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. These financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Tables reconciling historical adjusted diluted earnings per share to historical GAAP earnings per share are set forth below. Tables reconciling constant currency net revenues to GAAP net revenues and reconciling forecasted non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forecasted GAAP measures are set forth above.
