News Release Details

PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embecta Corp. (“embecta” or the "Company") (Nasdaq: EMBC), one of the largest pure-play diabetes care companies in the world, today reported financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023.

"Following our solid first quarter performance, I am pleased to say that our second quarter results have once again exceeded our internal expectations," said Devdatt (Dev) Kurdikar, Chief Executive Officer of embecta. "We remain focused on executing our three key strategic priorities: strengthening our base business, separating and standing up embecta as an independent company, and investing for growth. During the second quarter, we made progress in each of these areas, as evidenced by our strong revenue performance; exiting additional transition service agreements with BD; and advancing our insulin patch pump program, including reaching an agreement with an innovative third-party algorithm developer. Given our financial performance during the first half of the year, coupled with our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are once again raising our guidance for our key financial metrics."

embecta spun off from Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") on April 1, 2022 (the "Separation Date"). Financial results during the pre-spin period were presented on the carve-out basis of accounting and do not purport to reflect what embecta’s financial results would have been had embecta operated as a standalone public company. Therefore, financial results for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 are not meaningfully comparable.

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2023 Results:

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
Dollars in millions							Increase/(decrease)
											As Reported			Constant Currency
		2023			2022		$				%			%
United States	$	146.4		$	141.3		$	5.1			3.6	%		3.6	%
International		130.7			133.2			(2.5	)		(1.9	)		4.4
Total	$	277.1		$	274.5		$	2.6			0.9	%		4.0	%

Our revenues increased by $2.6 million, or 0.9%, to $277.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to revenues of $274.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Changes in our revenues are driven by the volume of goods that we sell, the prices we negotiate with customers and changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by favorable impacts of $11.0 million related to increase in price and volume, and contract manufacturing revenue that commenced after April 1, 2022, the date of separation from BD. This was somewhat offset by unfavorable effects from foreign currency translation primarily due to the strengthening of the US dollar, which negatively impacted results by $8.4 million.

Six Months Fiscal Year 2023 Results:

Revenues by geographic region are as follows:

	Six months ended March 31,
Dollars in millions							Increase/(decrease)
											As Reported			Constant Currency
		2023			2022		$				%			%
United States	$	295.7		$	292.2		$	3.5			1.2	%		1.2	%
International		257.1			271.6			(14.5	)		(5.3	)		3.5
Total	$	552.8		$	563.8		$	(11.0	)		(2.0)        %			2.3	%

Our revenues decreased by $11.0 million, or 2.0%, to $552.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to revenues of $563.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in revenues was primarily driven by unfavorable effects from foreign currency translation primarily due to strengthening of the U.S. dollar which negatively impacted results by $24.0 million, partially offset by favorable impacts of $13.0 million related to increase in price and volume, as well as contract manufacturing revenue that commenced after April 1, 2022, the date of separation from BD.

Fiscal Year 2023 Updated Financial Guidance:
For fiscal year 2023, the Company now expects:

Dollars in millions, except percentages and per share data		Current		Previous (1)
Revenues		$1,101 - $1,113		$1,084 - $1,107
As Reported (%)		(2.5%) - (1.5%)		(4.0%) - (2.0%)
Constant Currency (%)		0.0% - 1.0%		(1.5%) - 0.5%
F/X (%)		(2.5%)		(2.5%)
Contract Manufacturing		$7.5 - $10		$5 - $10
Adjusted Gross Margin (%)		~64.5%		~63.5%
Adjusted Operating Margin (%)		~28.0%		~26.5%
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share		$2.50 - $2.60		$2.20 - $2.35
Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%)		~32.5%		~31.5%

(1) Previous guidance was issued on February 14, 2023.

We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected adjusted gross margin, expected adjusted operating margin, expected adjusted earnings per diluted share, expected adjusted EBITDA and our expected adjusted EBITDA margin as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty, and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of any one-time items. The financial impact of these one-time items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

About Non-GAAP financial measures

In evaluating our operating performance, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial measures including (i) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), (ii) Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (iii) Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, (iv) Constant Currency revenue growth, (v) Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Income Margin (vi) Non-GAAP Pre-tax Income and, (vii) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted earnings per diluted share. These non-GAAP financial measures are indicators of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. They are presented with the intent of providing greater transparency to financial information used by us in our financial analysis and operational decision-making. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors, stockholders and other readers of our consolidated financial statements in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing the underlying performance of our results of operations. However, the presentation of these measures has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in its operational and financial decision making, and believes that it is useful to exclude certain items in order to focus on what it regards to be a meaningful alternative representation of the underlying operating performance of the business.

For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA was as follows (unaudited, in millions)

(1)	Prior to the Separation on April 1, 2022, the Company’s historical combined financial statements were prepared on a standalone basis. These results did not purport to reflect what the Company’s results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity or cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a standalone public company. As such, the Company is not presenting comparable prior period results for the Non-GAAP metrics in the table above. The Company believes these metrics are not meaningful for periods prior to the Separation.
(2)	Amortization of intangible assets is recorded in Cost of products sold.
(3)	One-time stand up costs incurred primarily include costs to stand up the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $25.6 million and $0.6 million are recorded in Other operating expenses and Selling and administrative expense, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $35.5 million and $0.9 million are recorded in Other operating expenses and Selling and administrative expense, respectively.
(4)	Represents costs required to develop processes and systems to comply with regulations such as the EU MDR and GDPR which represent a significant, unusual change to the existing regulatory framework. We consider these costs to be duplicative of previously incurred costs and/or one-off costs, which are limited to a specific period of time. These costs are recorded in Research and development expense.
(5)	Represents stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period associated with the incremental value of converted legacy BD share-based awards and one-time sign-on equity awards granted to certain members of the Embecta leadership team in connection with the separation from BD. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $1.2 million is recorded in Selling and administrative expense, $0.1 million is recorded in Cost of products sold, and $0.1 million is recorded in Research and development expense. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, $3.1 million is recorded in Selling and administrative expense, $0.1 million is recorded in Cost of products sold, and $0.1 million is recorded in Research and development expense.
(6)	Represents restructuring-related costs recorded in Other operating expenses.
(7)	Represents amounts due to BD for tax liabilities incurred in deferred jurisdictions where BD is considered the primary obligor.

Each reporting period, we face currency exposure that arises from translating the results of our worldwide operations to the U.S. dollar at exchange rates that fluctuate from the beginning of such period. A stronger U.S. dollar, compared to the prior-year period, resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact to our revenues as compared to the prior-year period. We evaluate our results of operations on both a reported and a Constant Currency basis, which excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates by comparing results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we believe the presentation of results on a Constant Currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand our operating results and evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods. We calculate Constant Currency percentages by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior-period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a Constant Currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the reconciliation of revenue growth to Constant Currency was as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
Dollars in millions		2023			2022		Total Change			Estimated FX Impact		Constant Currency Change

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains express or implied "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our current expectations regarding our future results from operations, performance, financial condition, goals, strategies, plans and achievements. These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, and you should not rely upon them except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "plans," "intends", “pursue”, “will” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. For example, embecta is using forward-looking statements when it discusses its fiscal 2023 financial guidance and its expectations with respect to strengthening its base business, separating and standing up embecta as an independent company, and investing in growth, and its ability to obtain sustainable success. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others: (i) competitive factors that could adversely affect embecta’s operations, (ii) any events that adversely affect the sale or profitability of embecta’s products or the revenues delivered from sales to its customers, (iii) any failure by BD to perform of its obligations under the various separation agreements entered into in connection with the separation and distribution; (iv) increases in operating costs, including fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials or components used in its products, the ability to maintain favorable supplier arrangements and relationships, and the potential adverse effects of any disruption in the availability of such items; (v) changes in reimbursement practices of governments or private payers or other cost containment measures; (vi) the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as well as regional, national and foreign economic factors, including inflation, deflation, and fluctuations in interest rates; (vii) the impact of changes in U.S. federal laws and policy that could affect fiscal and tax policies, healthcare and international trade, including import and export regulation and international trade agreements; (viii) any continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or geopolitical instability, including disruptions in its operations and supply chains; (ix) new or changing laws and regulations, or changes in enforcement practices, including laws relating to healthcare, environmental protection, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, taxation and licensing and regulatory requirements for products; (x) the expected benefits of the separation from BD; (xi) risks associated with embecta’s indebtedness; (xii) the risk that embecta’s separation from BD will be more difficult or costly than expected; (xiii) risks associated with not completing strategic collaborative partnerships and acquisitions for innovative technologies, complementary product lines, and new markets; and (xiv) the other risks described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as further updated by our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q we have filed or will file hereafter. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this release.
