ICU Medical, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2013 Results

Operating Cash Flow Year to Date Improved to $42.2 Million

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ICU Medical, Inc., (Nasdaq:ICUI), a leader in the development, manufacture and sale of innovative medical devices used in infusion therapy, oncology and critical care applications, announced today results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

For the third quarter of 2013, revenue was $82.8 million, compared to $81.4 million in the same period last year. Net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $11.0 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $12.2 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, revenue was $235.8 million, compared to $234.2 million in the same period last year. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was $27.1 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.9 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, for the same period last year.

Scott Lamb, ICU Medical's Chief Financial Officer, said, "Our third quarter revenue was driven by strong performance of oncology products and robust improvements in critical care on a sequential basis, which were offset by decreases in infusion therapy and other product categories. International sales were up 19.0%, while domestic sales decreased 3.5% year over year."

In a separate release today, the Company announced that due to health reasons Dr. George Lopez, ("Doc") stepped down as President and Chief Executive Officer. He will continue as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and will remain an employee of the Company in a new position in the Company's Research and Development Department. In a related development, the Company announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Steven Riggs, current Vice President of Operations as Acting Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

Doc is the founder of the Company and has served as Chairman of the Board, President and CEO since 1989. He is one of the rare individuals who has been able to transition from entrepreneur to business leader and will now have the opportunity to focus his efforts on the development of new and innovative products for the Company.

Mr. Riggs has served as Vice President of Operations since 2002 and was director of operations from 1998 to 2002. As Vice President of Operations he was responsible for all of the Company's worldwide operations including management of its supply chain.

Steven Riggs, ICU Medical's Acting President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "On behalf of the company and the Board of Directors, I would like to express our appreciation to Doc, for his leadership and contribution in building ICU Medical into a leader in the development, manufacture and marketing of innovative medical technologies used in infusion therapy, oncology, and critical care applications."

"We will continue to focus on investing in our products, improving our operating infrastructure and forging relationships with our distributors. Our financial position remains very strong and we will leverage our cash flow to achieve our goals and improve long-term shareholder value," concluded Mr. Riggs.

Revenues by market segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

  (dollars in millions)  
Market Segment 2013 2012 Change
Infusion Therapy $159.8 $159.6 0.2%

Oncology $27.4 $21.0 30.5%
Other $9.7 $11.3 -14.6%

The Company ended the third quarter of 2013 with a healthy balance sheet. As of September 30, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $260.8 million and working capital was $336.7 million. Additionally, the Company generated operating cash flow of $16.3 million for the third quarter of 2013.
