ICU Medical, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results

November 10, 2014

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq:ICUI) ("ICU Medical"), a leader in innovative medical devices used in vascular therapy, oncology and critical care applications, today announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Third Quarter 2014 Results

Third quarter 2014 revenue was $77.5 million, compared to $82.8 million in the same period last year. GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $6.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, as compared to GAAP net income of $11.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2014 was $0.66 as compared to $0.84 for the third quarter of 2013. Also, adjusted EBITDA was $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $22.6 million for the third quarter of 2013.

Vivek Jain, ICU Medical's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Third quarter results were slightly above our expectations and showed similar trends to the first half of the year. The increase in our direct oncology sales and our international sales was primarily offset by an expected decline in our OEM business. As we had previously outlined, the year over year change was as expected due to the third quarter of 2013 being the peak of the company's transition period. We have had two quarters in a row of consistent sales and we expect the fourth quarter of 2014 to look in-line with the third quarter. Based on our results to date and expectations for the remainder of the year, we are adjusting slightly upwards our full year 2014 adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and GAAP EPS guidance ranges."

Revenues by market segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
