Integer Holdings Corporation to Divest Non-Medical Business for $50 million
September 30 2024 - 8:00AM
Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE: ITGR), a leading medical device
contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today
announced it has entered into an agreement to divest its
Electrochem business, which focuses on non-medical applications for
the energy, military and environmental sectors, to Ultralife
Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI). Ultralife is acquiring Electrochem for
$50 million in cash, subject to customary working capital
adjustments, and the transaction is expected to close by the end of
October.
“The divestiture of our non-medical business is another example
of Integer managing our portfolio to accomplish our strategic
financial objectives,” said Joe Dziedzic, Integer’s president &
CEO. “Following the transaction, Integer will be a pure-play
medical business with additional cash to pay down debt and execute
our inorganic growth strategy. Ultralife is an ideal buyer for
Electrochem because they are a leader in providing critical power
solutions to a variety of industries that include energy, defense,
and environmental markets.”
Going forward, Integer will report the results of its
Electrochem business, currently included in its “Non-Medical”
segment, as part of discontinued operations. This will include any
gain or loss recognized on the sale of the business. The Company
intends to use the proceeds from the sale to pay down outstanding
debt and for general corporate purposes.
In the 2024 full year guidance provided as part of our second
quarter 2024 earnings release, we assumed the following in relation
to our non-medical segment, adjusted to include $3 million of
allocated interest expense as part of discontinued operations:
- Sales of $36 million.
- GAAP operating income of $3 million.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating income of $4 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $5 million.
- GAAP net income of $0 million.
Non-GAAP adjusted net income of $1 million.
- GAAP diluted EPS of $0.00. Non-GAAP
adjusted EPS of $0.02.
We expect this transaction to be neutral to EPS.
Please see “Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information” and
“2024 Outlook” in our earnings release for the second quarter of
2024, dated July 25, 2024 for additional information regarding our
use of the non-GAAP financial measures set forth above.
