• Sales increased 7% to $437 million, with organic growth of 6%.
• GAAP operating income increased $11 million to $50 million, an increase of 28%. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income increased $9 million to $71 million, an increase of 14%.
• GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations decreased $43 million to a $22 million loss, primarily from debt conversion inducement expense related to the exchange of 2028 convertible notes. Non-GAAP adjusted net income increased $7 million to $46 million, an increase of 19%.
• GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations decreased $1.25 to a loss of $0.66. Non-GAAP adjusted EPS increased $0.17 to $1.31.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased $11 million to $92 million, an increase of 14%.
• On March 18, 2025, Integer closed its offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.875% convertible notes due 2030, resulting in an expected $13 million reduction to interest expense in 2025.
• From the end of 2024, total debt increased $245 million to $1.235 billion and Non-GAAP net total debt increased $275 million to $1.230 billion, primarily to finance the acquisitions of Precision Coating and VSi Parylene, and costs associated with the 2030 convertible note offering, resulting in a leverage ratio of 3.3 times adjusted EBITDA as of March 28, 2025.

“Integer started the year off strong with first quarter 2025 sales growing at 7% year-over-year as we continue to execute our strategy by launching new products and adding capabilities in targeted growth markets. Integer also delivered 14% adjusted operating income growth,” said Joseph Dziedzic, Integer’s president and CEO. “We continue to expect sales growth of 8% to 10% and are raising our adjusted net income growth outlook to 19% to 26%.”

Discussion of Product Line First Quarter 2025 Sales

• Cardio & Vascular sales increased 17% in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024, driven by new product ramps in electrophysiology and acquisitions, partially offset by the impact of fewer shipping days in the first quarter 2025 versus the first quarter 2024.
• Cardiac Rhythm Management & Neuromodulation sales increased 2% in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024, driven by strong growth in emerging neuromodulation customers with PMA (pre-market approval) products and normalized cardiac rhythm management growth, offset by the impact of fewer shipping days in the first quarter 2025 versus the first quarter 2024.
• Other Markets sales decreased 37% in the first quarter 2025 compared to the first quarter 2024, primarily driven by the planned multi-year Portable Medical exit announced in 2022.

2025 Outlook^(a)

• 2025 Outlook is updated to reflect the estimated full year impact of the convertible note offering completed in the first quarter 2025.

Notes Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to our results reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we provide adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial metrics presented reflect continuing operations only.

Adjusted net income and adjusted EPS consist of GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations, respectively, adjusted for the following to the extent occurring during the period: (i) amortization of intangible assets, (ii) certain legal expenses; (iii) restructuring and restructuring-related charges; (iv) acquisition and integration related costs; (v) other general expenses; (vi) (gain) loss on equity investments; (vii) extinguishment of debt charges, (viii) debt conversion inducement expense; (ix) European Union medical device regulation incremental charges; (x) inventory step-up amortization; (xi) unusual, or infrequently occurring items; (xii) the income tax provision (benefit) related to these adjustments and (xiii) certain tax items that are outside the normal tax provision for the period. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by adjusted weighted average shares.

The weighted average shares used to calculate diluted EPS in accordance with GAAP includes dilution, when applicable, resulting from the potential conversion of our 2028 Convertible Notes and 2030 Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into capped call contracts which are expected to reduce the potential dilution on our common stock in connection with any conversion of the Convertible Notes, subject to a cap. Adjusted weighted average shares consists of GAAP weighted average shares used to calculate diluted EPS, including, when applicable, dilutive common stock equivalents that were excluded from weighted average shares used to calculate diluted EPS as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and excluding, when applicable, dilution resulting from the potential conversion of our Convertible Notes expected to be offset by the capped call contracts.

EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, and amortization expense from intangible assets and financing leases, to income (loss) from continuing operations, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA plus adding back stock-based compensation and the same adjustments as listed above except for items (i), (vii), (xii) and (xiii). Adjusted operating income consists of operating income adjusted for the same items listed above except for items (vi), (vii), (viii), (xii) and (xiii).

Organic sales change is reported sales growth adjusted to remove the impact of foreign currency, the contribution of acquisitions and the strategic exit of the Portable Medical market. To calculate the impact of foreign currency on sales growth rates, we convert any sale made in a foreign currency by converting current period sales into prior period sales using the exchange rate in effect at that time and then compare the two, negating any effect foreign currency had on our transactional revenue. For contribution of acquisitions, we exclude the impact on the growth rate attributable to the contribution of acquisitions in all periods where there were no comparable sales. For the strategic exit of the Portable Medical market, we exclude the impact on the growth rate attributable to Portable Medical sales for all periods presented.

We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, and organic sales change, provides important supplemental information to management and investors seeking to understand the financial and business trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to the performance measures identified above, we believe that net total debt and leverage ratio provide meaningful measures of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund our activities, including the financing of acquisitions and debt repayments. Net total debt is calculated as total principal amount of debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. We calculate leverage ratio as net total debt divided by adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 4 quarters.
