Wayne, PA -- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) (the “Company”) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

First quarter 2019 net revenues were $613.6 million, an increase of 4.5% compared to the prior year period. Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, first quarter 2019 net revenues increased 7.6% over the year ago period.

First quarter 2019 GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 24.6% to $0.89, as compared to GAAP earnings per share of $1.18 in the prior year period. First quarter 2019 adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increased 4.2% to $2.24, compared to $2.15 in the prior year period.

Liam Kelly, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter of 2019 was an outstanding start to the

year for Teleflex. We reported constant currency revenue growth of 7.6%, placing us in a strong position to achieve our full year constant currency revenue growth guidance range of between 6% and 7%. From a product perspective, our robust top line performance in the quarter was led by sales of our Interventional Urology, OEM, and Interventional products. While from a geographic standpoint, we achieved particularly strong growth within Asia and the Americas. In addition, during the quarter we continued to invest in driving the adoption of our high-growth, high-margin products, which puts us on track to deliver on both our near, and long-term, financial objectives.”

OTHER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS

Depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets and deferred financing charges for the first three months of 2019 totaled $54.6 million compared to $53.8 million for the prior year period.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2019 were $271.2 million compared to $357.2 million at December 31, 2018.

Net accounts receivable at March 31, 2019 were $375.8 million compared to $366.3million at December 31, 2018.

2019 OUTLOOK

On a GAAP basis, revenues in 2019 are expected to increase between 5% and 6% over the prior year, reflecting our estimate of an approximately 1% unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. On a constant currency basis, the Company estimates that revenues for full year 2019 will increase between 6% and 7%.

The Company lowered its full year 2019 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations guidance from a range of between $6.90 and $7.05 to a range of between $6.72 and $6.84, reflecting the impact of additional restructuring, contingent consideration, intangible amortization expenses, and tax adjustments. The Company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to be between $10.90 and $11.10 for full year 2019, representing an increase of between 10.1% and 12.1% over 2018, and reflecting our estimate of an approximately 2% negative impact from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

NOTES ON NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, commonly referred to as “GAAP.” In this press release, we provide supplemental information, consisting of the following non-GAAP financial measures: constant currency revenue growth and adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are described in more detail below. Management uses these financial measures to assess Teleflex’s financial performance, make operating decisions, allocate financial resources, provide guidance on possible future results, and assist in its evaluation of period-to-period and peer comparisons. The non-GAAP measures may be useful to investors because they provide insight into management’s assessment of our business, and provide supplemental information pertinent to a comparison of period-to-period results of our ongoing operations. The non-GAAP financial measures are presented in addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Moreover, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Tables reconciling changes in historical constant currency net revenues to historical GAAP net revenues are set forth above under “First Quarter Net Revenue by Segment." Tables reconciling historical adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to historical GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are set forth below. Tables reconciling forecasted 2019 constant currency revenue growth and forecasted 2019 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations to their respective most directly comparable forecasted GAAP measures, forecasted 2019 GAAP revenue growth and forecasted 2019 GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, respectively, are set forth above under “2019 Outlook.”

Constant currency revenue growth: This non-GAAP measure is based upon net revenues, adjusted to eliminate the impact of translating the results of international subsidiaries at different currency exchange rates from period to period. The impact of changes in foreign currency may vary significantly from period to period, and generally are outside of the control of our management. We believe that this measure facilitates a comparison of our operating performance exclusive of currency exchange rate fluctuations that do not reflect our underlying performance or business trends.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share: This non-GAAP measure is based upon diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, adjusted to exclude, depending on the period presented, the items described below. Management does not believe that any of the excluded items are indicative of our underlying core performance or business trends.

Restructuring, restructuring related and impairment items -Restructuring programs involve discrete initiatives designed to, among other things, consolidate or relocate manufacturing, administrative and other facilities, outsource distribution operations, improve operating efficiencies and integrate acquired businesses. Depending on

the specific restructuring program involved, our restructuring charges may include employee termination, contract termination, facility closure, employee relocation, equipment relocation, outplacement and other exit costs associated with the restructuring program.  Restructuring related charges are directly related to our restructuring programs and consist of facility consolidation costs, including accelerated depreciation expense related to facility closures, costs to transfer manufacturing operations between locations, and retention bonuses offered to certain employees as an incentive for them to remain with our company after completion of the restructuring program. Impairment charges occur if, due to events or changes in circumstances, we determine that the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment charges do not directly affect our liquidity, but could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results.

Acquisition, integration and divestiture related items - Acquisition and integration expenses are incremental charges, other than restructuring or restructuring related expenses, that are directly related to specific business or asset acquisition transactions.  These charges may include, among other things, professional, consulting and other fees; systems integration costs; legal entity restructuring expense; inventory step-up amortization (amortization, through cost of goods sold, of the increase in fair value of inventory resulting from a fair value calculation as of the acquisition date); fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities; and bridge loan facility and backstop financing fees in connection with loan facilities that ultimately were not utilized. Divestiture related activities involve specific business or asset sales.  Depending primarily on the terms of the divestiture transaction, the carrying value of the divested business or assets on our financial statements and other costs we incur as a direct result of the divestiture transaction, we may recognize a gain or loss in connection with the divestiture related activities.

Other items -These are discrete items that occur sporadically and can affect period-to-period comparisons. See footnote C to the reconciliation tables set forth below.

Intangible amortization expense -Certain intangible assets, including customer relationships, intellectual property, distribution rights, trade names and non-competition agreements, initially are recorded at historical cost and then amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. The amount of such amortization can vary from period to period as a result of, among other things, business or asset acquisitions or dispositions.

Tax adjustments -These adjustments represent the impact of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations for prior year returns, the resolution of audits, the filing of amended returns with respect to prior tax years and/or tax law changes affecting our deferred tax liability.
