DUBLIN, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) today announced financial results for its first quarter of fiscal year 2023, which ended July 29, 2022.
Key Highlights
- GAAP diluted EPS of $0.70 increased 25%; non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.13 decreased 17%, in-line with expectations
- Revenue of $7.4 billion decreased 8% as reported and 4% organic, ahead of expectations
- Company reiterates FY23 revenue and EPS guidance
The company reported worldwide revenue of $7.371 billion, a decrease of 8% as reported and 4% on an organic basis. The organic comparison excludes a $351 million negative impact from foreign currency translation and a $20 million contribution from the company’s recent acquisition of Intersect ENT, which is reported in the Specialty Therapies division in the Neuroscience Portfolio. Unless otherwise stated, all revenue growth rates in this press release are on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation and revenue from the Intersect ENT acquisition. The company’s first quarter organic revenue results reflect the impact of known supply chain shortages, as well as unfavorable comparisons to the prior year given last year’s strong ventilator sales and market procedure recovery following the third COVID-19 wave.
As reported, first quarter GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $929 million and $0.70, respectively, increases of 22% and 25%, respectively. As detailed in the financial schedules included at the end of this release, first quarter non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS were $1.502 billion and $1.13, respectively, decreases of 18% and 17%, respectively. The company’s earnings reflect the continued impact to certain procedure volumes and the macroeconomic impacts of inflation and foreign currency translation.
First quarter U.S. revenue of $3.766 billion represented 51% of company revenue and decreased 8% as reported and 9% organic. Non-U.S. developed market revenue of $2.328 billion represented 32% of company revenue and decreased 10% as reported and increased 2% organic. Emerging Markets revenue of $1.276 billion represented 17% of company revenue and decreased 1% as reported and increased 2% organic.
“The company continues to execute in a challenging environment, delivering organic revenue above our guidance,” said Geoff Martha, Medtronic chairman and chief executive officer. “As we look ahead, our supply chain is improving, we have several near-term pipeline catalysts approaching, and we are confident in our ability to accelerate growth.”
Cardiovascular Portfolio
The Cardiovascular Portfolio includes the Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure (CRHF), Structural Heart & Aortic (SHA), and Coronary & Peripheral Vascular (CPV) divisions. Cardiovascular revenue of $2.713 billion decreased 6% as reported and 1% organic, with low-single digit declines in CRHF and CPV and flat year-over-year results in SHA, all on an organic basis.
- Cardiac Rhythm & Heart Failure revenue of $1.393 billion decreased 6% as reported and 1% organic. Cardiac Rhythm Management revenue decreased low-single digits, with high-single digit declines in Defibrillation Solutions partially offset by mid-single digit growth in Cardiac Pacing Therapies, driven by mid-teens growth in Leadless Pacemakers from continued global adoption of Micra™ transcatheter pacing systems. Cardiovascular Diagnostics revenue increased low-single digits, as procedures remain under pressure market-wide. Cardiac Ablation Solutions revenue decreased low-single digits as a result of supply constraints in Western Europe, and COVID lockdowns in China.
- Structural Heart & Aortic revenue of $741 million decreased 6% as reported and was flat year-over-year organic. Structural Heart decreased low-single digits, including low-single digit growth in transcatheter aortic valves (TAVR). Aortic declined mid-single digits given continued supply challenges. Cardiac Surgery increased mid-single digits, driven by strength in extracorporeal life support products and sales of the Avalus™ pericardial aortic surgical valve.
- Coronary & Peripheral Vascular revenue of $579 million decreased 7% as reported and low-single digits organic. Coronary & Renal Denervation (CRDN) decreased mid-single digits, given the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) market procedures in many geographies. Peripheral Vascular Health decreased low-single digits, with declines in directional atherectomy and PTA balloons partially offset by growth in drug-coated balloons, vascular embolization, and superficial venous products.
Medical Surgical Portfolio
The Medical Surgical Portfolio includes the Surgical Innovations (SI) and the Respiratory, Gastrointestinal & Renal (RGR) divisions. Medical Surgical revenue of $2.001 billion decreased 14% as reported and 9% organic, with high-single digit declines in both SI and RGR. Excluding the impact of ventilator sales given the increased COVID-19 related demand in the prior year, Medical Surgical revenue decreased 7% organic.
- Surgical Innovations revenue of $1.338 billion decreased 14% as reported and 9% organic. The division had low-double digit declines in Advanced Surgical Instruments given expected acute supply chain shortages of raw materials, and the impact of China COVID lockdowns and provincial value-based procurement (VBP) stapling tenders. These declines were partially offset by strength in Hernia & Wound Management, which increased mid-single digits.
- Respiratory, Gastrointestinal & Renal revenue of $664 million decreased 14% as reported and 9% organic. RGR revenue decreased 3% organic excluding the impact of ventilator sales. Respiratory Interventions decreased mid-twenties, with sales of ventilators declining low-fifties as demand was well below pre-pandemic levels. Patient Monitoring increased low-single digits, with low-single digit declines in Nellcor™ pulse oximetry products offset by mid-single digit growth in Perioperative Complications products. Gastrointestinal revenue decreased low-single digits, with high-single digit declines in esophageal products partially offset by mid-single digit growth in chronic and colorectal products. Renal Care Solutions decreased low-double digits given product holds and supply chain challenges.
Neuroscience Portfolio
The Neuroscience Portfolio includes the Cranial & Spinal Technologies (CST), Specialty Therapies, and Neuromodulation divisions. Neuroscience revenue of $2.115 billion decreased 4% as reported and 2% organic, with mid-single digit declines in CST and Neuromodulation, partially offset by mid-single digit increases in Specialty Therapies, all on an organic basis.
- Cranial & Spinal Technologies revenue of $1.043 billion decreased 7% as reported and 5% organic. Spine & Biologics decreased mid-single digits, with mid-teens declines in Biologics given customer ordering patterns, partially offset by mid-single digit Core Spine growth in the United States. Neurosurgery declined low-single digits, with declines in navigation and robotics partially offset by growth in powered surgical instruments, imaging, and CSF management.
- Specialty Therapies revenue of $667 million increased 4% as reported and organic. Neurovascular increased low double-digits driven by strength in hemorrhagic stroke products. Pelvic Health decreased low-single digits on competitive pressures. ENT was flat year-over-year on an organic basis given supply constraints on several product lines.
- Neuromodulation revenue of $405 million decreased 8% as reported and 5% organic. Brain Modulation decreased low-single digits, as significant declines of replacement devices were partially offset by increased share of initial implants from the continued adoption of the Percept™ PC deep brain stimulation (DBS) system and SenSight™ directional DBS lead system. Pain Therapies decreased high-single digits, with mid-single digit declines in both Interventional and Pain Stim, as well as low-double digit declines in Targeted Drug Delivery on a difficult comparison given a supply recovery in the prior year. The Pain Stim market remained under pressure given healthcare staffing challenges and higher payer pre-authorizations. At the same time, the company continued to win new implant share in Pain Stim on strong adoption of its Vanta™ and Intellis™ with DTM™ SCS neurostimulators.
Diabetes
Diabetes revenue of $541 million decreased 5% as reported and was flat year-over-year organic. U.S. revenue declined mid-teens, given the absence of new product approvals. This was offset by low-double digit organic growth in non-U.S. developed markets and mid-teens organic growth in emerging markets. International sales were driven by mid-twenties growth in sales of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) products and low-double digit growth in consumable sales, offset by low-single digit declines in sales of durable insulin pumps.
Guidance
The company today reiterated its revenue growth and EPS guidance ranges for fiscal year 2023.
The company continues to expect organic revenue growth in its fiscal year 2023 in the range of 4% to 5%. If recent foreign currency exchange rates hold, fiscal year 2023 revenue growth would be negatively affected by approximately $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion versus the previously stated $1.0 to $1.1 billion impact.
The company continues to expect fiscal year 2023 diluted non-GAAP EPS in the range of $5.53 to $5.65, including an estimated 17 to 22 cent negative impact from foreign currency.
“While our markets are facing macroeconomic challenges, we’re focused on identifying ways to offset their impact to our financials,” said Karen Parkhill, Medtronic chief financial officer. “Looking ahead, we expect organic revenue growth to improve each quarter, with the second half of the fiscal year much stronger than the first. We are optimistic about our future, as we create markets and realize new opportunities.”

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks related to competitive factors, difficulties and delays inherent in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of medical products, government regulation and general economic conditions and other risks and uncertainties described in the company’s periodic reports on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K of the company, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words or expressions, such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “looking ahead,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “going to,” “will,” and similar words or expressions, the negative or plural of such words or expressions and other comparable terminology. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Medtronic does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements or any of the information contained in this press release, including to reflect future events or circumstances.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release contains financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and organic revenue, which are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations. References to quarterly figures increasing, decreasing or remaining flat are in comparison to fiscal year 2022.
Medtronic management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the company’s underlying operational performance and trends and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the med tech industry. Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS exclude the effect of certain charges or gains that contribute to or reduce earnings but that result from transactions or events that management believes may or may not recur with similar materiality or impact to operations in future periods (Non-GAAP Adjustments). Medtronic generally uses non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate management’s review of the operational performance of the company and as a basis for strategic planning. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and investors are cautioned that Medtronic may calculate non-GAAP financial measures in a way that is different from other companies. Management strongly encourages investors to review the company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. Starting with the quarter ended April 29, 2022, the Company no longer adjusts non-GAAP financial measures for certain license payments for, or acquisitions of, technology not approved by regulators. Historical non-GAAP financial measures have been recast for comparability. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial schedules accompanying this press release.
Medtronic calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, as well as significant acquisitions or divestitures. Forward-looking diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance also excludes other potential charges or gains that would be recorded as Non-GAAP Adjustments to earnings during the fiscal year. Medtronic does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP EPS guidance to projected GAAP EPS guidance because the combined impact and timing of recognition of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
