Baxter Reports Third-Quarter 2018 Results and Updates Financial Outlook for Full-Year 2018

Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX), a leading global medical products company, today reported results for the third quarter of 2018 and updated its full-year 2018 financial outlook.

“Baxter’s third-quarter performance reflects the benefit of our ongoing efforts to enhance operational excellence and innovation at the company,” said José (Joe) E. Almeida, chairman and chief executive officer. “While we remain confident in Baxter’s longer-term financial outlook, we have experienced a slower-than-expected return to pre-Hurricane Maria purchasing levels across certain businesses, as well as an impact from distributor destocking for select products that has depressed our top-line performance in 2018.”

Continued Almeida, “Our commercial teams are working diligently to address customer needs and recapture these sales, and we remain focused on relentless expense management across the company. In parallel, we continue to pursue capital deployment opportunities to fuel organic and inorganic growth that will help drive increased value for patients, healthcare providers and investors.”

Third-quarter Financial Results

In the third quarter, worldwide sales totaled approximately $2.8 billion, an increase of 2 percent on a reported basis, 3 percent on a constant currency basis and 3 percent on an operational basis compared to the prior-year period. Operational sales in the third quarter adjust for the impact of foreign exchange and generic competition for U.S. cyclophosphamide, as well as the acquisition of two surgical products from Mallinckrodt plc, which closed in March 2018, and approximately one month of sales from the company’s acquisition of Claris Injectables, which closed in July 2017.

Sales in the U.S. totaled $1.2 billion, increasing 4 percent on a reported basis and 3 percent on an operational basis. International sales of $1.6 billion increased 1 percent on a reported basis and 2 percent on both a constant currency and operational basis. Drivers of growth in the quarter included the company’s Renal Care, Pharmaceuticals, Advanced Surgery and Acute Therapies businesses. Increased demand for Baxter’s contract manufacturing services also contributed to performance in the quarter. This strength helped offset declines in Baxter’s Medication Delivery and Clinical Nutrition businesses. Performance in these businesses was impacted by market disruptions caused by Hurricane Maria, which have resulted in longer-than-expected shifts in customer demand patterns as well as the impact of distributor destocking for select products.

Beginning in 2018, Baxter reports its operating results based on three geographic segments: Americas (North and South America), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and APAC (Asia Pacific) as well as by the company’s six Global Business Units (GBUs). Please see the schedules accompanying this press release for more details on sales performance in the quarter.

Baxter reported income from continuing operations of $544 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, on a GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) basis for the third quarter. These results included special items totaling $108 million, primarily related to business optimization and intangible amortization and a $200 million benefit related to the company’s U.S. foreign tax credit deferred tax assets. On an adjusted basis, Baxter’s third quarter income from continuing operations totaled $436 million, or $0.80 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings per diluted share advanced 25 percent in the quarter, driven by solid operational performance, an ongoing benefit from the company’s business transformation initiatives, and lower pension expenses.

In the third quarter of 2018, Baxter generated $489 million in operating cash flow, or $1,341 million year to date. As a result, the company generated $873 million in free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital expenditures of $468 million) through the first nine months of the year.

Business Highlights

Baxter continues to achieve key operational, pipeline and commercial milestones in support of its strategy to accelerate profitable growth and advance innovation for patients and healthcare professionals worldwide. Among recent highlights, the company:

  • Received CE Mark and submitted a 510(k) to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the PrisMax system, Baxter’s next-generation technology for continuous renal replacement and organ support therapies. The PrisMax system’s innovative features were designed with input from more than 650 healthcare practitioners globally to make delivering therapy simpler, more efficient and more accurate in the ICU.
  • Received FDA clearance for innovations that expand the breadth and potential impact of Baxter’s Advanced Surgery portfolio:
    • Clearance of Actifuse Flow Bone Graft Substitute for use in a variety of orthopedic surgical procedures. Actifuse Flow offers accelerated bone growth in a new, easy-to-use prepackaged delivery syringe for precise placement into small bony voids or gaps in the skeletal system.
    • Clearance of ALTAPORE Bioactive Bone Graft, a next-generation bioactive and osteoconductive bone graft substitute, for use as an autograft extender in posterolateral spinal fusion. ALTAPORE had previously been cleared for use in orthopedic surgical procedures in the extremities and pelvis.
  • Featured OLIMEL 7.6%, a newly launched addition to the company’s olive oil-based parenteral nutrition portfolio, at the 40th congress of the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), recently held in Madrid. Now approved in Canada, OLIMEL 7.6% is a ready-to-use solution designed to meet the needs of high-stress patients by combining the highest protein with the lowest glucose formulation available in a standardized, triple-chamber bag.
  • Announced a collaboration with Mayo Clinic to establish a renal care center of excellence to be located at Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville, Fla., campus. The center, which brings together the complementary expertise of Mayo Clinic and Baxter, will serve patients across the continuum of care, from chronic kidney disease (CKD) management through transplant, to drive better patient outcomes. This initiative stems from a broader five-year collaboration agreement, and allows for the exploration of potentially new, co-developed products and services.
  • Received multiple external recognitions reflecting Baxter’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and workplace excellence:
    • Named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the 19th consecutive year.
    • Cited by Aon as a Best Employer in the Asia Pacific region.
    • Recognized on Working Mother magazine’s 2018 list of ‘100 Best Companies.’

2018 Financial Outlook

For full-year 2018: Baxter expects adjusted earnings from continuing operations, before special items, of $2.98 to $3.00 per diluted share. The company expects sales growth of approximately 5 percent on a reported basis, approximately 4 percent on a constant currency basis, and approximately 3 percent on an operational basis (as defined below).

For fourth-quarter 2018: The company expects sales growth of approximately 1 percent on a reported basis, approximately 3 to 4 percent on a constant currency basis, and 3 to 4 percent on an operational basis. The company expects adjusted earnings from continuing operations, before special items, of $0.71 to $0.73 per diluted share.

Full-year and fourth-quarter operational sales have been adjusted for the impact of foreign exchange, generic competition for U.S. cyclophosphamide and the benefit from the acquisitions of Claris (full-year only) and the two Mallinckrodt surgical products.

Please see the schedules accompanying this press release for a reconciliation between the projected 2018 adjusted earnings per diluted share and projected GAAP earnings per diluted share.
