Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Net revenues decreased 14% in Q2 and 13% YTD compared to 2008. Core revenue declined 8% in Q2 and 8% YTD, with an additional 5% decline attributed to foreign currency translation.
- Segment Performance:
- Medical: Revenues were essentially flat on a core basis in Q2 but declined 1% YTD due to distributor inventory reductions and a less severe flu season.
- Aerospace: Revenues dropped 44% in Q2 and 39% YTD due to weak commercial aviation traffic and reduced cargo system conversions.
- Commercial: Revenues fell 25% in Q2 and 21% YTD, driven by weakness in the recreational boat market and alternate fuel systems.
- Goodwill Impairment: A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $31.9 million was recorded in Q2. This included $25.1 million related to the Power Systems business (subsequently sold) and $6.7 million related to Cargo Container operations.
- Discontinued Operations: The sale of ATI Singapore generated a gain of approximately $179 million (net of tax), significantly boosting YTD net income to $232.4 million.
- Debt Reduction: The company used $240 million of proceeds from the ATI sale to repay long-term debt, reducing total debt from $1.55 billion (Dec 2008) to $1.31 billion (June 2009).
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Restructuring Outlook: The company expects to incur an additional $9.9 million to $12.3 million in restructuring charges related to the Arrow integration program over the next two years. Annual pre-tax savings from restructuring are expected to reach $70–$75 million in 2010.
- Market Conditions: Management notes that the global recession has impacted Marine and Cargo Container operations more severely than anticipated, with recovery expected to be slower.
- Subsequent Event: On July 20, 2009, Teleflex signed a definitive agreement to sell its Power Systems business for $14.5 million. This unit will be reported as a discontinued operation upon closing.
- Regulatory Risks: The company is awaiting re-inspection by the FDA regarding quality system issues at its Arrow subsidiary. While corrective actions have been implemented, failure to satisfy the FDA could result in sanctions or penalties.
- Dividends: Dividends per share were $0.34 for the quarter and $0.68 YTD.
