LITTLE FALLS, N.J.,
Nov. 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cantel Medical Corp. (NYSE:
CMD) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended
October 31, 2018.
Jørgen B. Hansen, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"We are pleased to report good sales and non-GAAP earnings
performance this quarter, and a return to strong growth in our
medical segment. Our 6.0% reported sales increase was driven by
organic growth of 4.3%, the impact from acquisitions of 2.3%, and
an unfavorable impact from foreign currency of 0.6%. We continue to
perform well internationally where sales were up 9.3% overall, and
our US business had a solid quarter with 5.0% growth."
Financial Highlights:
Medical sales grew 13.5%, with
organic growth of 12.8%, with strong performance across all core
product lines. Recurring revenue for this segment was up 13.6%,
capital equipment grew 13.2%. Our Life Sciences segment decreased
2.6%, primarily due to softness in medical water sales. Our Dental
segment reported a year over year decline of 2.8%, including a
decrease of 4.1% organically, predominantly related to general
inventory adjustments by our channel partners.
The Company's balance sheet continues to generate healthy cash
flow and EBITDAS. The first quarter ended with cash of $64.0M and gross debt of $197.5M, while generating adjusted EBITDAS of
$44.8M in the quarter, up 0.8%.
Hansen further stated, "Our Medical division had a great
quarter, with double digit growth in all regions and US capital
sales that returned to solid growth compared to the prior year. Our
Life Sciences and Dental businesses started the year softer than
anticipated mostly due to the timing of orders, however we expect
both segments to accelerate throughout the remainder of the year.
We are reaffirming our full year guidance, as previously stated in
our fourth quarter fiscal year 2018 earnings call."

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.
Excess tax benefits resulting from stock compensation are
recorded as a reduction of 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 benefits 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.
During the three months ended October 31,
2018, we recorded specific discrete tax items associated
with our international operations that were unrelated to fiscal
2019. As these items are 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 November 2017, the Israeli
Government notified us that they would forgive any future amounts
due under a contingent obligation payable from a previous
acquisition. As a result of this formal notification, we reduced
the $1,138 contingent obligation
payable to zero during the three months ended October 31, 2017, resulting in a gain through
other income. 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.
Three Months Ended October 31, 2018
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, (iv) excess tax
benefits applicable to stock compensation, (v) tax matters and (vi)
litigation matters to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures,
non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.
Three Months Ended October 31, 2017
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, (iv) excess tax
benefits applicable to stock compensation and (v) the resolution of
the contingent liability associated with the Jet Prep acquisition
to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures, 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.
The reconciliations of net income to EBITDAS and adjusted
EBITDAS were calculated as follows:

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) divestitures 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 divestitures 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 October 31, 2018, the
reconciliation of net sales growth to organic sales growth for
total net sales and net sales of our four reportable segments were
calculated as follows:
