Edwards Lifesciences Reports Second Quarter Results

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Highlights and Outlook

Q2 sales grew 7%; constant currency¹ sales grew 8%
Q2 TAVR sales grew 5%; constant currency¹ sales grew 6%
Q2 TMTT sales grew 75%; increasing contribution to Edwards' growth
Q2 EPS of $0.61; adjusted¹ EPS of $0.70
Significant TAVR and TMTT clinical evidence to be presented at TCT in October 2024
Positive EVOQUE introduction with excellent patient outcomes; NCD process on track
Critical Care sale expected to close late Q3 2024
Expect full-year 2024 Edwards sales growth of 8 to 10%; lowering TAVR guidance to 5 to 7% from 8 to 10%; increasing TMTT guidance to the higher end of $320 to $340 million

“Second quarter total company sales growth of 8 percent reflected strong contributions from our rapidly growing TMTT product group, offset by lower-than-expected growth in TAVR," said Bernard Zovighian, CEO. “Edwards is well-positioned to deliver sustainable TAVR growth in 2025 and beyond, driven by advancements in our leading SAPIEN platform, indication expansions to much larger populations of patients, and improving patient access to this important therapy. Our vision for TMTT is becoming a reality, and our strategic commitment has developed into a growth portfolio of differentiated technologies. We are confident in Edwards' strategy in structural heart supported by the broadening TAVR opportunity, accelerating contributions of our TMTT therapies, and our expanding portfolio of structural heart innovations that addresses the unmet needs of millions of patients around the world."

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

In the second quarter, the company reported TAVR sales of $1.0 billion, which grew 5%, or 6% on a constant currency basis. Edwards’ competitive position did not meaningfully change globally, although the company experienced some regional pressures, and pricing was maintained.

Edwards remains pleased with the performance of its SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA platform, which is the leading platform in the U.S. and Japan. In the second quarter, Edwards began the introduction of the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve in Europe. The RESILIA tissue's anti-calcification technology is designed to address one of the primary causes of reintervention following heart valve replacement and provides the potential to extend the durability of the valve.

Edwards is actively pursuing significant opportunities to grow TAVR globally over the long term and remains committed to advancing science for aortic stenosis patients through the PROGRESS and EARLY TAVR trials, which could fundamentally change how AS patients are treated. The company expects to release the results of the EARLY TAVR trial at TCT this year. Edwards believes if the data are compelling it could have a meaningful impact on the timing for patient treatment, while also streamlining referral and patient care for all severe AS patients.

Transcatheter Mitral and Tricuspid Therapies (TMTT)

In the second quarter, the company reported strong growth of both repair and replacement therapies for mitral and tricuspid patients.

Edwards’ deep structural heart expertise has enabled the company to significantly advance its portfolio of differentiated technologies, including the PASCAL repair system, EVOQUE tricuspid replacement system and the SAPIEN M3 mitral replacement system.

Second quarter sales were $83 million, led by the PASCAL system and the early commercial introduction of the EVOQUE system in the U.S. and Europe. PASCAL adoption is growing, reflecting its premium differentiation and the value it brings to physicians and patients. Edwards is excited to bring this therapy to an increasing number of physicians and patients globally. Early initial adoption of the EVOQUE therapy in both the U.S. and Europe reflects strong demand for this novel solution for patients suffering from tricuspid regurgitation. Initial real-world commercial experience has demonstrated excellent clinical results consistent with those from the TRISCEND II pivotal trial.

Edwards remains engaged with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on coverage for EVOQUE and is pleased with the recent initiation of the National Coverage Decision (NCD) process for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement. The company believes CMS can move quickly to finalize national coverage. This is an important step toward securing consistent and timely patient access to this breakthrough innovation.

Surgical Structural Heart and Critical Care

Surgical Structural Heart sales for the second quarter were $264 million, which grew 3%, or 5% on a constant currency basis. Growth was driven by strong global adoption of Edwards’ premium surgical technologies, INSPIRIS, MITRIS and KONECT. The company continues to see positive procedure growth globally for the many patients best treated surgically, including those undergoing complex procedures. The company continues to expand the overall body of RESILIA tissue technology evidence and completed enrollment in the U.S. and Canada for its MOMENTIS clinical study in the second quarter, one year ahead of previous expectations.

Critical Care sales, presented as discontinued operations, were $246 million for the quarter, which grew 5%, or 7% on a constant currency basis. Growth was led by pressure monitoring devices used in the ICU, with strong contribution from smart recovery technologies including the Acumen IQ sensor. Demand was also strong for Swan-Ganz catheters. The company’s previously announced sale of Critical Care for $4.2 billion remains on track and is expected to close in late Q3 2024.

Additional Financial Results

For the quarter, the adjusted gross profit margin was 77.1%, compared to 77.7% in the same period last year. Last year's second quarter gross margin benefited from a more favorable impact from foreign exchange rates.

Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were $509 million, or 31.2% of sales, compared to $469 million in the prior year. This increase was driven by the expansion of field-based personnel in TMTT and TAVR to support the company’s growth strategy.

Adjusted research and development expenses in the second quarter were $303 million, or 18.6% of sales, compared to $270 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by continued investments in transcatheter valve innovations, including clinical trial activity.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.70 benefited $0.04 from a lower-than-expected adjusted tax rate of 8.4%.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $2.0 billion as of June 30, 2024. Total debt was approximately $600 million. Adjusted free cash flow in the second quarter was $333 million.

Outlook

Based on current trends, the company anticipates second half TAVR sales growth similar to the first half year-over-year growth rate, or 5 to 7% full-year growth versus previous guidance of 8 to 10%. For TMTT, based on first half momentum, the company is increasing full-year sales guidance to the higher end of the previous $320 to $340 million range. The company remains confident in full-year Surgical sales growth of 6 to 8%.

The company expects Q3 sales of $1.56 to $1.64 billion, assuming Critical Care is included for the entire third quarter. The company expects EPS in Q3 of $0.67 to $0.71, assuming the inclusion of Critical Care and no impact from previously announced acquisitions. The company will provide pro forma information for Q4 2024 when third quarter results are reported, reflecting the sale of Critical Care and the acquisitions announced this month.

EDWARDS LIFESCIENCES CORPORATION
Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP historical financial measures. Management makes adjustments to the GAAP measures for items (both charges and gains) that (a) do not reflect the core operational activities of the Company, (b) are commonly adjusted within the Company’s industry to enhance comparability of the Company’s financial results with those of its peer group, or (c) are inconsistent in amount or frequency between periods (albeit such items are monitored and controlled with equal diligence relative to core operations). The Company uses the terms "adjusted" and “constant currency" when referring to non-GAAP sales and sales growth information, respectively, which excludes currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company uses the term “adjusted” to also exclude certain litigation expenses, intellectual property agreements, amortization of intangible assets, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities arising from acquisitions, and one-time separation costs related to the planned sale of Critical Care, and to include the results of its discontinued operations.

Management uses non-GAAP financial measures internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results, and evaluating current performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations by investors that, when viewed with its GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business and facilitate comparability to historical periods.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the information is not necessarily comparable to other companies and should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of non-GAAP historical financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measure is provided in the tables below.

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates impact the comparative results and sales growth rates of the Company's underlying business. Management believes that excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations from its sales growth provides investors a more useful comparison to historical financial results. The impact of the fluctuations has been detailed in the "Reconciliation of Sales by Product Group and Region."

Guidance for sales and sales growth rates is provided on a "constant currency basis," and projections for diluted earnings per share, net income and growth, gross profit margin, taxes, and free cash flow are also provided on a non-GAAP basis, as adjusted, for the items identified above due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting such items without unreasonable efforts. The Company is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP guidance to comparable GAAP measures due to the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of special charges or gains, and management's inability to forecast charges associated with future transactions and initiatives.

Management considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure which provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by business operations, after deducting payments for capital expenditures, which can then be used for strategic opportunities or other business purposes including, among others, investing in the Company's business, making strategic acquisitions, strengthening the balance sheet, and repurchasing stock.

The items described below are adjustments to the GAAP financial results in the reconciliations that follow:

Certain Litigation Expenses - The Company incurred certain litigation expenses of $8.9 million and $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $8.1 million and $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively

Amortization of Intangible Assets - The Company recorded amortization expense related to developed technology and patents in the amount of $1.4 million and $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2.0 million and $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Separation Costs - The Company incurred separation costs of $41.3 million and $79.7 million in the first and second quarter of 2024, respectively, related primarily to consulting, legal, tax, and other professional advisory services associated with its planned sale of Critical Care.

Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Liabilities - The Company recorded expense of $0.7 million and a gain of $26.9 million in the first and second quarter of 2023, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities arising from acquisitions.

Intellectual Property Agreement - The Company recorded a $37.0 million charge and a $139.0 million charge in the first and second quarter of 2023, respectively, related to an Intellectual Property Agreement with Medtronic, Inc. for a 15-year covenant not to sue.

Provision for Income Taxes - The income tax impacts of the expenses and gains discussed above are based upon the items' forecasted effect upon the Company's full year effective tax rate. Adjustments to forecasted items unrelated to the expenses and gains above, as well as impacts related to interim reporting, will have an effect on the income tax impact of these items in subsequent periods.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow - The Company defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. During 2024, the Company excluded from its calculation payments for separation costs associated with the planned sale of Critical Care and a material tax deposit made to mitigate interest on potential tax liabilities that the Company is contesting through the judicial process. During 2023, the Company excluded from its calculation a payment related to the Intellectual Property Agreement with Medtronic, Inc.
