STERIS Announces Financial Results for Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter

  • As reported revenue increased 1%; 7% constant currency organic revenue growth
  • As reported earnings per share of $1.24; adjusted EPS of $2.02
  • Updated outlook provided

DUBLIN, IRELAND, Feb. 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  STERIS plc (NYSE: STE) (“STERIS” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2023 third quarter ended December 31, 2022. Revenue as reported for the quarter increased 1% to $1.22 billion compared with $1.21 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Constant currency organic revenue (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) increased 7% for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2022.  

“We delivered 7% constant currency organic revenue growth in a challenging environment,” said Dan Carestio, President and Chief Executive Officer of STERIS. “We significantly improved capital equipment shipments for several key Healthcare products reflecting improved supply chain conditions.   Some constraints remain for electronic components and other supply chain issues which, when combined with a reduction in the rate of growth for bioprocessing volumes, are impacting our performance for the third quarter and fiscal year. Challenges aside, we are encouraged by a modest improvement in procedures and significant capital equipment backlog in both Healthcare and Life Sciences. We anticipate continued supply chain improvements, which will aid in reducing our backlog and allow us to achieve more normal lead times for our Customers over the coming quarters.”

Third Quarter Operating and Segment Results
As reported, net earnings for the third quarter were $123.8 million or $1.24 per share, compared with net income of $143.6 million or $1.42 per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted net income (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 was $202.3 million or $2.02 per diluted share, compared with the previous year’s third quarter of $213.3 million or $2.12 per diluted share.  

Healthcare revenue as reported grew 1% in the quarter to $769.1 million compared with $759.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. This performance reflected a 5% improvement in capital equipment revenue and a 5% increase in service revenue, which were offset by a 5% decline in consumable revenue driven primarily by the Renal Divestiture and foreign currency. Constant currency organic revenue increased 10% for the quarter compared with the prior year quarter. Healthcare operating income was $175.4 million compared with $175.8 million in last year’s third quarter. This decline was primarily attributable to the impact of increased supply chain and inflationary costs, which more than offset an increase in volume and price.

Fiscal 2023 third quarter revenue for Applied Sterilization Technologies (AST) increased 3% as reported to $222.0 million compared with $216.3 million in the same period last year. This performance was driven primarily by increased demand from medical device Customers for our services somewhat offset by declines in Mevex capital equipment shipments due to timing and a reduction in the rate of growth of bioprocessing Customers.   Constant currency organic revenue in the quarter increased 7%. Segment operating income increased to $103.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with operating income of $101.3 million in the same period last year primarily due to increased volume, which was partially offset by negative foreign currency and higher labor costs.

Life Sciences third quarter revenue as reported declined 5% to $121.3 million compared with $127.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. This performance reflected a 2% increase in service revenue, which was offset by a 6% decrease in capital equipment revenue and a 9% decline in consumable revenue. The decline in consumables was partly due to a reduction in the rate of growth of bioprocessing Customers. Constant currency organic revenue declined 1% in the quarter compared with the prior year quarter. Operating income was $45.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $52.0 million in the prior year’s third quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the reduction in volume, negative foreign currency and the impact of increased supply chain and inflationary costs.

Dental third quarter revenue as reported declined 2% to $103.6 million compared with $105.1 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Constant currency organic revenue increased 1% in the quarter compared with the prior year quarter. Operating income was $20.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $23.1 million in the prior year’s third quarter. This decline was primarily due to the reduction in volume, decreased manufacturing productivity and increased supply chain and inflationary costs.

Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $541.1 million, compared with $513.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2022. Free cash flow (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $262.8 million compared with $300.3 million in the prior year period. Cash flow was limited during the fiscal 2023 period by higher working capital requirements, in particular inventory, as well as approximately $75 million in increased capital spending.

Fiscal 2023 Outlook
As reported revenue is now anticipated to grow 6% compared with prior expectations of 8% growth. Based on foreign currency forward rates through March 31, 2023, currency is now anticipated to negatively impact revenue by approximately $110 million this fiscal year, a reduction from prior expectations of approximately $150 million. Constant currency organic revenue is now anticipated to grow approximately 7% compared with prior expectations of 10%.

Reflecting the lower revenue, adjusted earnings per diluted share are now anticipated to be in the range of $8.00 to $8.10. As a result of higher than anticipated working capital requirements, in particular inventory and accounts receivable, STERIS now anticipates free cash flow will be approximately $500 million for fiscal 2023, a decline from prior expectations of $600 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, adjusted income from operations, free cash flow and constant currency organic revenue are non-GAAP measures that may be used from time to time and should not be considered replacements for GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures are presented in this release with the intent of providing greater transparency to supplemental financial information used by management and the Board of Directors in their financial analysis and operational decision making. These amounts are disclosed so that the reader has the same financial data that management uses with the belief that it will assist investors and other readers in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our operations for the periods presented. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered along with our GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure.

Adjusted net income and adjusted income from operations exclude the amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations, acquisition and divestiture related transaction costs, integration costs related to acquisitions, tax restructuring costs, and certain other unusual or non-recurring items. STERIS believes this measure is useful because it excludes items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and provides a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.

The Company defines free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property, plant, equipment and intangibles, plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles. STERIS believes that free cash flow is a useful measure of the Company’s ability to fund future principal debt repayments and growth outside of core operations, pay cash dividends, and repurchase ordinary shares.

To measure the percentage organic revenue growth, the Company removes the impact of significant acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue. To measure the percentage constant currency organic revenue growth, the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and acquisitions and divestitures that affect the comparability and trends in revenue are removed. The impact of changes in currency exchange rates is calculated by translating current year results at prior year average currency exchange rates.

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales, gross profit, operating income, net earnings and net earnings per diluted share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures below, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The release and the referenced conference call may contain statements concerning certain trends, expectations, forecasts, estimates, or other forward-looking information affecting or relating to STERIS or its industry, products or activities that are intended to qualify for the protections afforded “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other laws and regulations.
